A few weeks ago we took our Westfalia to the Alabama Hills in Lone Pine, CA for a long weekend away. We wanted to get some sun, relax, and have a little adventure. This was only our second roadtrip in our Westfalia, and the last trip it rained almost the entire time. I'm a big fan of the desert, so when Adam showed me this place I instantly wanted to go! I hadn't even ever heard of it, but it's a similar vibe to Joshua Tree, except it's BLM land and not a national park. Which means you can camp anywhere (they have campgrounds nearby too), and your dog can roam around with you anywhere.

We spent 9 days in our VRBO that sat just a few steps from the sand, which was basically our own private beach.
Read MoreOur Master Bedroom Makeover At The Poff Pad
This room started as a tan box, so of course I painted it ALL white. A nice, cool white with no warm tones. We slowly got furniture for it, as we'd been sleeping on our mattress on the floor in our last few houses and also didn't have nightstands. The mid century modern dresser was a find from Craigslist when we lived in SLO, and we refinished it to have a darker stain compared to the red one it came with.
