Tin Can Homestead

DIY enthusiasts, tiny house-lovers, and van-lifers will find inspiration and
step-by-step instructions in Tin Can Homestead, the ultimate resource for
living small in your own Airstream paradise.

The Airstream trailer is the ultimate symbol of vintage wanderlust-and the
classic touring vehicle's resurgent popularity has dovetailed with the tiny
house movement, resonating with design-minded individuals looking to live
small. Tin Can Homestead, based on the popular Instagram of the same name, is
the ultimate resource for these would-be DIY-ers, and the perfect coffee-table
addition for anyone looking for streamlined, modern lifestyle inspiration.

Part practical how-to, part lushly illustrated design inspiration, Tin Can
Homestead follows the story of one couple as they build themselves a new life
in an old Airstream. Through personal stories and down-and-dirty checklists,
this book guides readers through all stages of creating their own Airstream
homes-from buying a trailer to plumbing and electrical work. With a hip,
bohemian aesthetic and a fresh authorial voice, the authors pair their DIY
knowledge with lifestyle advice-including dér, design, and entertaining-and
abundant illustrations, from in-process photographs to hand-drawn
illustrations.
