Nathan and Bailey Gilbert were struggling to find an Airstream that could comfortably fit their family of five and appeal to their modern design sensibilities. Then, they stumbled upon the renovation work of Colorado Caravan—it was love at first sight.
With dreams of taking their three young children on extended cross-country road trips, the couple entrusted Kerri Cole and Patrick Neely, the husband-and-wife duo behind the Denver-based design studio, to source, renovate, and furnish an Airstream that would live up to their vision of a "modern mountain cabin" on wheels.
Before: Kitchen
The surfaces and fixtures of the 1974 Airstream were dated and made the trailer feel small.
Colorado Caravan
The original Airstream had a four-burner stove and a double sink.

After: Kitchen
The renovated kitchen features a new J&K cabinetry white shaker-style cabinets in white, an undermount sink, microwave, undercounter fridge, and a Furion 2-in-1 range oven. Upper cabinets were not installed to preserve an open and airy feel.
