Being back in the States has me dreaming up a vintage-inspired Americana experience for ourselves. I just want to pull on my kicks this fall and head out west for the likes of New Mexico, Arizona or Nevada. I can't believe I haven't been to the Grand Canyon or Joshua Tree yet! How terribly unpatriotic. So for anyone else out there looking for a way to combine the quintessential American road with your gypsy spirit, look no further than this recent The New York Times article.

L.A.-based designer Rachel Horn actually renovated a vintage Airstream trailer as a gift for her husband to experience the elusive Burning Man Festival this week.



Gorgeous details abound. How lovely are those tassels and bronze chains? Supposedly Ms. Horn bought her Airstream for $5,000 on Craigslist....


...and invested something like over $20,000 in refurbishing it.


Yep, I think I could *probably* manage to spend a few days in the Nevada desert inside this baby. How 'bout you?
