Howard Hughes' Airstream
When I woke up this morning, I had no idea I would be stepping into Howard Hughes' personal, custom-made from leftover airplane metal Airstream trailer. 
Salt Lake City's Airstream dealership is a real gem. The very nicest people (Thanks, Mileta!) and the coolest trailers.

Including Howard Hughes' trailer, which has hardly been touched since he last unfolded the nifty hide-away ironing board.
Okay, hard to see. But there was some serious aesthetic sensibility in this trailer, and a feeling like you walked back into the 1940's!

Summer Days
I'm sure you've thought work on the Glamper has ceased. Not so! In fact, we are nearly 'complete' with our plans!
The exterior paint weathered the winter so nicely!
Happy details
The original owners of this camper were hunters, and took this hunting all the time. Our moose hangs with not a little intentional irony!
Had to have a chandelier, bien sur.
My mother just finished painting the refrigerator. We adore the results!
Is that mirror just glamorous?!
We spent a long time thinking about carpet. We went with super-soft astro turf. Yep! Its so fabulously kitschy.
What does one do in a glamper, you may ask? Primarily, the twins watch movies out there several times a week. It only has a VHS player, of course. We take naps out there. We eat in the glamper, and the girls play out there every day. The camper was a $700 investment, and at the beginning we had no idea how much it would be like having a spare room in the yard! It is also a quiet, shady spot to watch the children...
The shelves were a boring dark oak stained brown, which was easily transformed with a few applications of paint.
Lighting fixture we found at IKEA.
