Vision
The vision for this Airstream renovation was to transform a vintage beauty into a supremely chic, one-of-a-kind guesthouse worthy of a mega-Hollywood star.
Named Rita, after the iconic actress Rita Hayworth, this Airstream was lovingly rescued and brought out of retirement, exuding timeless glamour while embracing a fresh, modern look. Like a fine wine, Rita had aged beautifully, but her “label” needed a refresh. Gone were the outdated turquoise café curtains, yellow molded plastic vanity, stinky carpet, and faded wallpaper. The yellow oven and beige linoleum made way for soft, rich wood floors, while the faulty wiring and aging copper pipes were updated for safety and reliability.
The result is a dazzling, sophisticated space that blends vintage charm with contemporary luxury, creating the ultimate Hollywood-style retreat.
