Northwoods Life | 1977 Airstream Argosy Before


As promised here are more photos of our new vintage 1977 Airstream Argosy! As much as we actually love the (inside) condition in which we purchased it, we do have a bit of a different vision for it so before we slowly start renovations (which we began to dig into this weekend!) I wanted to show some "before" photos.







Some insight into what our future plans are for the inner design include: removing the original (and boring) vinyl textured wallpaper, new floors, new countertops, fresh upholstery and update the cabinetry. I do have to admit I LOVE the yellow bathroom so that will be staying for sure as most vintage bathrooms are a sad beige color so we got very lucky with this one!



Why hello!





Another thing that we found out in our research was that after pulling up a bit of the flooring we came to find that we actually have an aluminum floor base which is AWESOME because the likeliness of floor rot to repair has significantly went down. Oddly enough the inside of our Argosy in it's currant state reflects so many elements of our home from the colors to the black and white floor. Like I mentioned though we do like it we just have such a different vision for it so we can't wait to get started on making some of these changes!




I just can't get over how much I love the yellow bathroom... don't you love it too!?
