I was excited to hear from Stephany S. (who follows my blog–yay!) that the lovely 1959 Spartan Carousel I’ve written about has a new home. And luckily for anyone who is interested in hearing about the renovation, her new owner is blogging about it!
The Spartan’s new home is in Austin, Texas with a health and wellness coach/Yogi/writer/soon-to-be-massage therapist. How cool, and how appropriate. I hope they’ll be very happy together. She’s already installed central air, purchased new flooring, and started painting. Check out MaryAnn’s blog, and her latest Spartan update, if you’d like to follow her recamp adventure.
Thanks for sharing the link, Paige. I’ve been crazy busy lately getting the trailer ready to live in (believe me, the melted old weatherstripping on ALL the windows and the smell of eau de rodent were not anticipated), while going to school, studying, and practicing my massage techniques. I do most trailer updates via Twitter (@wellbodymind), which also feeds to my blog. I will post photos on the blog from time to time.
By the way, there’s a campground in Marfa, Texas, that rents out Spartans! It’s called El Cosmico. It might make a good blog post!
Good luck MaryAnn (I’m following your Twitter posts too). Thanks for the info on El Cosmico! I will check that out.

Awesome! Thanks for the update Cam. Wonder if I could raze my house and install this here?
Wow–it’s really beautiful. The pink fixtures look like they’re still in good shape. She just needs a pink vintage ice box in that round kitchen!
