Tent Glamping - Vintage

It's extremely cold outside, so I played inside today. I decorated my tent in themes! First up is a Vintage theme. I used a vintage Coleman sleeping bag, Coleman chair, Oil lamp with no oil in it, an old picnic basket...  If it wasn't so cold I would have gone out to get a decorative vintage lantern which would be too adorable! Things I would add: pine cones, plaids, canteen, fishing equipment, boots...

A little  about this tent.  It is my spring and fall tent. An Alps  Mountaineering 4 man tent. It's incredibly light for its size. The design is wonderful. I can stand up in the front, the back is lower. It has a full rain fly which keeps it warmer in the early and late season. I don't use it in the summer but if I did I would take the rain fly off when possible. I bet it would be pretty warm in summer. It has a large back window that fully opens as a back door, if needed. It is incredibly durable, breathes well, and is totally waterproof.

Back to the Glamp Camp

It's winter and I am dreaming of tents, campfires, and walks in the woods. I  now have  about  all the equipment  a girl could ever need  for tent camping . I even considered moving back into a pop up or even a teardrop  but my reasons for tent camping remain. I don't want a new tow vehicle , I love the fresh air, I cannot  justify the cost,  and I don't want the upkeep. So, what can I "plan", since that's what I love most this time of year.

I'm  thinking about taking one of my Goodwill tents and PAINTING it! In fact, I have a rather large tent that needs to be water proofed any way. Simple Zentangle? Florals? Hmmm...
