Gone Glamping

Autum in all it’s glory!!

I can already smell Fall?  S’mores toasting, apple pies baking and pumpkin ravioli sauteing. I cannot wait to see the leaves change and the harvest moon brightly shinning above.  Fall is by far, my favorite time of year.

My hubby and I have always been into hiking, fishing and camping- we are definitely into the great outdoors.  With the addition of two boys, our family makes any excuse to spend a weekend exploring the woods.  I spent most of my time as a child exploring the woods and and searching for little natural treasures around my home in the beautiful Hudson Valley.  It is a joy to watch my children as they now marvel in all that nature has to offer.  Camping and hiking have been a great way for my family to bond, relax and enjoy a “back-to-basics” style of  living.

As much as I love to “rough it”, I am also a true Gemini, and need glaming things up once in a while.   Being the only girl in my house I sometimes feel the need to “get girly” so camping isn’t always the perfect get-a-way.  However,  I found the perfect solution for the ying and yang sides of my brain: “Glamping”!!

Glamorous Camping ofter the great outdoors in a very luxurious setting.  I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!   It is truly a romantic, relaxing and a luxurious way to spend time outdoors and with people you love.  I think this would be a perfect anniversary weekend away don’t you? ** Hint Hint Honey, I hope you’re readying my blog this week!!**

Here is a look at my perfect Glamping Anniversary Weekend!!!

Fall fashion perfect for a glamourous camping weekend!

Outside Entertaining Rack

This baker’s rack has been sitting in my garage covered with junk for many years. I have even tried to give it away, but there weren’t any takers (no surprise). It came to us from a “discount” store, we had purchased it for some extra kitchen storage in a rental home we lived in very briefly. After that, it became a collect-all in my garage and was just a dirty, dusty mess.

The dirty, ugly "before" shot

But, since I have discovered spray paint, nothing is safe. And, as I have a special baby shower coming up here in about a month with a green and black theme, I thought this would be the perfect shelf to hold the gifts (or something!?). And, well in the meantime, it sure looks cute holding drinks and plants on my deck.

So, for all my neighbors who were wondering what the heck I was doing spray painting this last weekend, here is the finished product. It’s cute, isn’t it?
