A hairstylist turned a vintage camper into her own Barbie dream house. Take a look inside the colorful space.

Ilse Massey, a hairstylist, and her husband, Steven Massey, own three campers, two of which they have renovated and one that they are still working on.

The star of the show is Daisy, the Barbie-inspired camper, is a pink-and-white 1969 Cardinal travel trailer.

Ilse and Steven spoke to Insider about the renovation process, including some key features many people may not notice, as well as her and her husband's plans for the future.

Steven knew that creating a fun, feminine camper would make his wife smile, so he purchased the trailer and gifted it to Ilse for her 30th birthday.

The couple then got to work renovating it.

At first, Ilse said, they "did a quick, little fixer-upper just to go have fun."

But she said people kept asking to borrow or rent Daisy, even though it was nothing too fancy and some of its features didn't quite work. 

After they fixed up a different trailer —  Duke, a beachy, blue-and-white 1963 Cardinal — they "ended up remodeling Daisy all over again" with a new strategy in mind. 

"You should start with the actual trailer first. Pretty much start with your base," Steven said. "Start with your axle, your tires, your frame. Start with your frame, because the first time we built the whole trailer, the frame was actually horrible. We had to break it all down, do it all over again."

One of the most impressive features is the iridescent epoxy walls in the bathroom that are designed to match Ilse's car.

"My husband wrapped my car iridescent, and I wanted the bathroom to look like my car, so I tried to replicate that as best as I could," Ilse told Insider.

She poured the epoxy by hand, one color at a time. 

Ilse said she gets a lot of comments on TikTok with people asking why certain details are in the campers. 

"We know why they're there, but other people don't know why they're there," Ilse explained. "Each of the trailers is going to have little Easter eggs for other trailers." 

For example, the colorful flooring in the bathroom of Duke is actually the same exact material used in the ceilings of Daisy.

Clearly, a pink-and-white trailer already sets itself apart from the crowd, but Ilse dreamed up some playful touches to make Daisy truly feel like a home.

The faux stained-glass windows have a daisy design. And, for happy hour, Ilse can just pop out the bar that is located on the outside of the trailer.

The drawers have flower-shaped pulls and each is filled with themed stickers, like Lisa Frank, Disney princess, or Barbie. 

They're topped with a coat of resin so they last. 

Ilse painted the ceiling and the entire interior of the trailer with vibrant colors to keep the theme going. 

Initially, the couple planned to revamp Daisy for under $10,000.

"Just the wood for the bathroom was $1,000 for the teak," Steven explained. "So by the time we did the teak, the epoxy, the bathroom, the construction, everything, we were looking at $5,000 into the bathroom."

Ilse and Steven live in San Diego and love to explore local camping spots in their trailers. They've also visited Temecula, where one of their favorite wineries is, and Joshua Tree.

They switch between driving Daisy and Duke to make sure both trailers are operating smoothly.

"That's where it all started, yeah. It was a Coachella trailer," Steven said.

Ilse continued, "It's just a vibe. It's super cool. Everyone there is just happy-go-lucky, and they love the trailer, and it's fun."

"Someone gave us a third trailer because she heard what we were doing. So she was like, 'I literally have this in front of my house. You could totally have it,'" Ilse said.

She added that it was the same brand as the other two trailers, just a little bigger — which is exactly what she'd wanted.

They call the 1978 travel trailer Sunny. 

Ilse wants to purchase at least 23 acres of land — 23 because that's the couple's favorite number — and create a property of campers for rent.

"There's a place out in Joshua Tree, and they're doing the same thing. I spotted it, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh. This is exactly what I want to do,' so we definitely want to do that," Ilse told Insider.

She continued, "I want to do weddings and birthday parties and things like that. Just somewhere where people can go and camp out. That's definitely a long-term goal."

For the next 10 years, they also have a goal to acquire a total of 10 trailers.

For now, the couple takes a trailer out once a month for a 24-hour "date night" where they travel somewhere close, such as a favorite winery.

Eventually, along with a property full of rentable campers, they also dream of living in a nice trailer once their kids — who are currently 15 and 16 — are grown.

Ultimately, Ilse and Steven just want to take their childhood nostalgia and make it part of their everyday lives.

"We just want to have a place where we can be outdoors and have fun, do old-school stuff like how we used to when we were little," Ilse said. "Eventually, hopefully, we'll have grandkids, so we can have a place where our grandkids can go, just run amok and stuff like that."
