I’m Dreaming of an Airstream | Instagram Dreaming

Yes, I know I’m (very) late to the game, but I’ve only recently got into Instagram. When Instagram first came out I thought it was just a filter to make your photos look old!
But now, I think I get it. I get the appeal of it. Unlike Facebook, you’re not presented with a bazillion photos of things that your friends have liked (even though you’re not the slightest bit interested), but only see the photos of the people that you have specifically chosen to follow.
With that in mind, I started following a couple of instagrammers that specialize in airstreams – whether it’s renovating and restoring airstreams, or just drooling over them!
If you’re in need of some visual inspiration or airstream eye candy… here’s some great ‘grammers I’ve found:

Kate & Ellen at The Modern Caravan sure know how to renovate an airstream with style and class. Their instagram is full of dreamy airstream pics… and a few of the ‘rough as guts’ (is that the Aussie/Kiwi coming out?) in-the-middle-of-ripping-everything-out pics as well!

Damien and Anna aren’t afraid of hard work. Just as well, because gutting an airstream and rebuilding from scratch looks like my definition of hard work! You can follow their progress and see their projects on their instagram or their website: www.mtnmodernairstream.com

Hey, there’s a couple of Aussies in the mix! I’m happy to present to you a Melbourne based airstream company that hires out their airstreams for a unique glamping experience. You can find them at Wanderlings.com.au but better still, follow their instagram for some serious vintage airstream inspiration.

Natasha and Brett renovated a vintage airstream and then wrote a book about it! You can pick up their book here: Tin Can Homestead: The Art of Airstream Living

The young guys over at Kingston United Trailer take old and tired airstreams and give them a new lease of life. While they do show some in-progress shots, there’s plenty of airstream to drool over. Kut.Limited
Love looking at Airstream? Check out these stunning and stylish Airstream renovations:

Lots of great pics on this account. But there doesn’t seem to be any more info about how to contact them or anything. I’ve found their facebook page but they haven’t added anything since 2014. But follow these guys if you’re just wanting some airstream eye candy.
And now for some smaller players in the Instagram world; these people are showing their progress through an airstream renovation or their life living in an airstream. Either way, it’s fuel for your own airstream dreaming. Give them some love…

Update: Oh! Ahhhhmmm… I can’t believe I forgot to put the actual Airstream company instagram account on here! I think that because a brand new airstream is (currently) not even a reality, I forget to even think about it. But to be honest, I personally, would prefer brand new to renovated. Most of that is due to the fact that I have zero renovation skills/experience.
But here, look at Airstream, they’re definitely getting the dreams fired up with these pictures.
Do you have any instagram accounts that you follow purely because you’re dreaming of an airstream? Share them with us in the comments below… so we can all spend waaaay too long dreaming about these magnificent beauties. 🙂
I love RVing! I share about our journey around Australia, how we came to do this trip, all the planning involved, and snapshots of what life on the road is like.
@ToasterAdrift not only rents her 2015 Airstream, Aolani, but is renovating a 1968 Airstream Overlander and will be renting Alice Anne by Summer of 2019. Lots of fun happening there:)
Thanks Jen!
Also, if you want to reach more people, you could tag your finished renovation pics on Instagram with #rvinspirationphoto and @rvinspiration can share your pics (and tag you) to their audience of over 23k followers. (Full disclosure, I’m one of the administrators on that account, but it’s not mine. It’s owned by the lovely Ashley from rvinspiration.com) 🙂
…I wish I could say you’ll reach LOADS of people via this blog… ahem, but alas, not so. Yet!…
Thanks for publishing our Airstream Stormy on your website, such an honour to be added to your list. More pretty renovation pictures to come soon once our floor is finally installed:). Happy New Year!
Oooh, things are certainly coming along, I’m looking forward to seeing Stormy all finished! Happy New Year too! 🙂
