It’s happening! Well, it’s been happening, but it’s almost done and I feel like it’s time to finally share all this good ness with you! Not only did my little photography business get a facelift, it also now has a traveling studio! And I will be bringing it to your door starting January 2020! Ok, I’m done yelling.
In the fall of 2018, my three girls and I set off to find an airstream for personal and business reasons. We searched for old and newer models, some that needed complete remodel, some that were lovely as is, and others that were somewhere in between. I wanted something to be able to use as a studio space and something to make lifelong memories in with my children. With those needs I ultimately had to do a total remodel.
I was in no place to do a rebuild on my own so I searched for a contractor. We met Justus over at Airstream Renovations via the wonderful world of facebook in July of 2019 and shortly after he found us a complete disaster of an airstream. Within days he started the work to make it our in home studio away from in home studio. It still has a few weeks left of work, not too much longer though, this baby will be on the road in no time.
After the initial walk through, work determined that everything interior (except most of the walls) needed to go. I begged Justus to let me help but he wouldn’t let me because there’s a risk I would get hurt and no one wants that as a business owner, I get it. However, I'm still sour I couldn’t smash some old stuff up.
A few weeks ago, Justus discovered that the airstream needed new axels. He lifted it, removed the old and continued the work while waiting. Fresh paint made all the difference.
Today, I had a session that took me to Murfreesboro so I decided to swing by Airstream Renovations to take a peek at my baby and SO much has been done! The shell is back on the frame with the floors done, the aluminum shell was getting polished, the bathroom door and most of the bathroom wall is up, plus the bathroom floor was getting all sorts of attention! Couldn’t be more excited to see what happens in the next week.
And there she lies, naked and unnamed. I’ll be in tomorrow to check in on her status and I’ll be sure to update my ig with a little video. Be sure to leave a comment with your name suggestions below & stay tuned!
