Do you think that $49,066 is better spent on say, your mortgage, than a Design Within Reach Airstream? But do you still covet the fluid lines of the classic touring trailer? Then scratch your Airstream itch with today's Steal of the Day.

I love the space-agey gold background in this original painting, and the simple, pretty rendering of the Airstream, which was painted by Austin, Texas, artist Stephanie Nance. There are several original Airstream paintings for sale on Stephanie's Etsy store, and more on her website, all starting as low as $45. So head over there and grab one before they sell out!

Crave Worthy: Design Within Reach Airstream Trailer

Although I don't suspect most of you are hunting for an Airstream trailer, I had to share this Design Within Reach model ($49,066) because there's no other way to describe it than Crave Worthy.

In 2000, architect-designer Chris Deam gutted a vintage trailer to create a booth for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, and DWR contacted Deam about creating a special edition trailer for their customers. The result is a 100% outfitted vehicle, with a light and airy interior made of the most durable materials. DWR equipped the galley with top-notch amenities like an Elkay faucet, recessed halogen lights, eco-friendly flooring, glossy overhead lockers, custom aluminum window treatments, and a Sony sound system. It is also dressed with modern DWR décor accents like a Nelson ball clock ($300), Heller dinnerware ($60), a Tom Dixon Wire Coatrack ($300), and Tripolina chairs ($400).

Even the most steadfast indoorswoman can appreciate the beauty of this updated icon. It could be a perfect hideaway from a busy life, stationary or on the road—if you can afford it.
