3 Style Tips From a Glamping Pro

If you're considering giving glamping a go and can do it in California, then you might want to consider letting Shelter Co.

If you're considering giving glamping a go and can do it in California, then you might want to consider letting Shelter Co. do the grunt work. Aside from offering beautifully furnished tents, the group has camp amenities that can include everything from a customizable camping box to a fully stocked library and bar. For those who can't make it to California's camp grounds or who want to brave their own glamping setup, we decided to go straight to the source. We tapped Shelter Co. cofounder Kelsey Sheofsky to fill us in on the most important things every novice glamper should know.

  • Invest in good bedding
    Nothing beats crawling into 400 thread-count sheets and a fluffy down comforter on a cold night.
  • Lighting is key
    Battery-operated lanterns and candles really transform an environment and aren't that expensive to purchase.
  • Rugs make a huge difference
    If you have a traditional plastic lined tent, adding a few floor rugs can really up the luxury factor. They warm up the space and allow you to get out of bed without having to hunt for your shoes first. Natural materials like jute or sea grass work best because they shake out easily and don't show wear and tear.

Poll: Would You Take a Bath on Your Deck?

We loved this urban oasis at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House this year but couldn't help but ask: would someone really bathe on his or her deck in the middle of Manhattan?

Wedding DIY: An Outdoor Wine Country Wedding With Glamorous Details

When it came to planning Courtney and Philipp's California casual wedding, attitude and feeling set the tone, rather than a distinct theme.

When it came to planning Courtney and Philipp's California casual wedding, attitude and feeling set the tone, rather than a distinct theme. Seeking a celebration that was relaxed yet elegant, vintage touches and pastel colors filled every detail of their outdoor wedding. A creative couple of sorts, the San Francisco locals who met through work tied knot on July 14, 2012.

With help from wedding planner Genevieve Roja from Lily Spruce, they decided to begin the planning process by drawing touches from the deco details on Courtney's dress. They then found a grand, carnival-like tent for the reception and a unique variety of flowers to inspire the color palette. From the hand-calligraphed invitations to the pastel linens, every part of the wedding planning seemed to reflect the ease of the couple, until their dream venue canceled — two-and-a-half weeks before the wedding!

Upset and in a rush to find a country venue to accommodate all that had been previously planned, the couple found Krug Winery, a stunning property with breathtaking grounds in St. Helena, CA, to come to the rescue. Creative accents like bell jars, refurbished vintage pieces, and cultural traditions completed the couple's earthy yet elegant wedding.

Turn Light Switches Into Works of Art

Last week we gushed over John Derian's melamine plates that could easily be mistaken for vintage china.

Last week we gushed over John Derian's melamine plates that could easily be mistaken for vintage china. Now he's delighting his die hards with a new line of decoupage switch plates.

We're tempted to rid each room of plastic stock switch plates and replace them with these vintage-inspired beauties. At $92 a pop, it might be a slow process. Still, some things are worth waiting for. We can just picture the beetle design against floral wallpaper, or the garden roses against a black wall. Check out all 50 switch plate designs here, and let us know which one you have your eye on!
