Decor Inspiration {Tents in "The Holiday" Movie}

March 24, 2013


Girls' tent in The Holiday

Thanks so much for the kindness
and encouragement about my diagnosis.
Each day I have recovered more
and more gratitude, which is so
essential for well-being and
optimal healing.

Know what else may be essential to my well being?



Tent 2

Yep.
A fancy, femme-lovely, fufu tent like
the beloved one in The Holiday.

Tent 3

Maybe it's because it has been a snowy
spring day here, and I'm still all snug
in my Swedish duvet slippers that
annoy everyone in my house...
but cozying down inside a dreamy
fort, staring up at the stars in
dreamy wonder
sounds enchanting.
Other possibilities:




Oh twinkly white lights, how I love thee!

Tents are a sweet escape from stress, ya?
The perfect spot to read
and share secrets.
*
Tents are shelter for the soul even.
*
And they do make an ideal
nest in which to daydream
with
Jude Law.
*
Were you a tentmaking kinda kid?

Peace to you right where you are.

  5. OMG Michele this brings back so many memories. My sister and I used to make tents all the time much to my mother's horror since we usually used her good blankets.....;)

    My love to you my friend and wish you the best!

  10. Love the pics!

    Hey girlie, I´ve started my blog on my own domain: http://tinajoathome.com/ and will soon abandon my Blogger account.

    Just discovered that I won´t be able to leave comments here anymore after that since you don´t have the "Name and url" option added, do you think you could add that to the others? Would love to continue talking to you. :-)

  11. Om gosh I am totally a tent making gal!! It was one of our rainy day activities while growing up. My 3 sons made tents and now my 3 Grandchildren make tents, the boys call it a fort and my Granddaughter calls it a house, she makes a kitchen and bedroom all equiped with dishes, stove and reading light. Oh yes, I am tent making Mama!! xo Kathysue

  12. i loved building forts when i was a kid. we did it all the time. the easiest way? an open umbrella with a blanket over it. i remember our front yard in chicago being covered with blanket shrouded umbrellas! another ultimate fort was a broken down VW Bug in front of the neighbor's house. sounds super white trashy, but it was the 70s and wasn't at all. my own sons have a love affair with forts too. i think we're all somehow wired for them.

  13. I have to admit I've never considered myself a tent kind-of-gal because I've always associated tents with camping and I won't tell you my opinion of camping in case there are dedicated outdoorsy types reading this post. Not that I'm not a nature lover, but I like to fall into a goosey down bed after my time in the woods. haha. However I do love these tents, especially the one from Shabby Chic Girls! I would love crawling inside it with a great book and reading under the covers with a flashlight and some chocolate :)

  15. My brothers had bunk beds and we used to use sheets to enclose the bottom bunk like a tent. Thanks..I'm 52 now and haven't thought about that for years. :)

  17. Hi Michele

    I am still on the islands with very little Internet access. I am worried because you have mentioned a diagnosis.. Hope things are okay.

    I'll be home soon and will email you.

  18. Yes! I was definitely a tent making kid. I loved to burrow down in a make shift tent of sheets draped over furniture in the family room. I never realized it was a form of stress relief until my daughter began to make tents and hide in them during a very difficult period in our lives. There is comfort inside a tent, a cocoon of security! Here's to making tents, Michele! Make yourself a glorious one in which to retreat and recover. Wishing you health and well being!
