Glamping Newbie

II have always wanted a camper. When  I was a kid other families had comfy campers to settle into at night while we snuggled up in our tent... unless it rained at which point we slept in the back of our station wagon. In childhood tent camping was an adventure but even then I knew I was meant for a comfy camper. As I grew older I realized how much I enjoyed camping as well as outdoor music festivals. Again, always in a tent. This past Summer when my gal pal since Kindergarten and I drove all the way to Delaware for the Big Barrel Country Music Festival we arrived to find tornado watches and a thunderstorm.  We were not enthusiastic about setting up the tent and getting soaked but thankfully we were not electrocuted! After a weekend full of camping in the rain and heat... we decided we no longer found tent camping an adventure. There was nothing fun about a 27 year old being hungover, soaked in a tent, waiting in line in the blazing sun for a portable shower, or splashing through mud puddles at the crowded porta potties. So, after much consideration I decided to purchase my first camper.

Now, thanks to Pinterest I have discovered the art and creativity of Glamping (glamorous camping). I strongly encourage you to browse some glamper before and after makeovers to see what kind of imagination can go into a camper remodel project.

I am in the beginning stages of transforming my camper into a Glamper. I hope to chronicle the transformation though this blog and stay motivated by writing about the process. Today I start with the basics, DEEP CLEANING. Meanwhile I will start the list of what I want to change, fix, and update!

So far I have determined that aside from the deep cleaning I need to narrow down a name and a decorative direction.  Here is where my brainstorming is currently:

Names: Lola, Dowler, Cheshire Cat, Cabela, Thelma, Americus, Queenie, Dixie, Gertrude 
Decor: glitter, brass, lace, feathers, arrows, country music lyrics, skulls, crochet, quilting, antique/vintage frames, brooches.

Home is where the HEART is,
Atty Mae
