Our favorite Mid-Century blogs – Vintage Travel trailers

One of my favorite movies is the Lucille Ball movie “The Long, Long Trailer” – and while it doesn’t glorify traveling in a trailer, it sure makes me want to hit the open road!

With the huge appeal of airstream trailers and travel in general  – there’s one blog that stands out – the long-time bloggers Atomic Addiction started a blog WAY back in 2009 when they acquired a trailer that  needed a lot of love!

The blog is 1964 Shasta Louise and it’s loaded with tons of resources, groups and support for your trailer restoration (doesn’t it give you the bug to go hit Craigslist and look for one?)

The blog continues with them painstakingly restoring all the chrome and working on the interior – one of my favorite posts being this one where they’re looking at color swatches! Go check it out – it’s obviously a labor of love and a fun HUGE project to follow!

It’s really clean, very cute and run by a very nice family (with kids if
