The preparation of the pop-up camper for the maiden voyage continues with the interior design. Although the camper is in ready to camp condition, I wanted to take time to cultivate a space that is conducive to creativity, health, relaxation, nature and restoration by personalizing the space. The bunk end beds, curtains, and dinette areas provide opportunities for customization.

A colorful explosion of prints, textures, and colors were randomly selected at impulse from NYAM Studio.

The bench seating will be reupholstered with a beige upholstery fabric to bring a more light into the space.

The rugs include a geometric black, gold, and white patterns which brings a striking contrast to the interior.

After several attempts to combine the various colors and textures cohesively, the design of the pillow covers were finalized.

The design of the pillow covers included a designer fabric front, cotton backing with a three button closure, and Mudcloth appliqué.

The materials for the remaining pillow covers are cut and prepared for construction. After the pillow covers are complete, the next step will be to set up the camper for its maiden camping voyage.

No, I am NOT LOST. I remind myself in moments disguised as aimlessness or confusion.

Embarking on the adventures of camping will supply moments to escape reality and explore the realms of nature and stillness. Both of which I want to capture in a tangible way. Due to the nature of camping and reconnecting with nature, I think it is appropriate that I document my journey with tangible photos, hand written camping journals, and guides.

The intentional actions of capturing and composing the experiences, thoughts, and growth of being immersed in nature will live to tell a story. Perhaps, reveal part of my story.

I stumbled upon an amazingly perfect camping / travel journal and travel guide. The pages are filled with parks, landmarks, interesting places, note and sketch areas to document the details of all of the who, what, when. This travel guide is not only for campers but for those that want to spend moments making memorable, fun and quirky experiences while traveling the 50 states.

The journal was a great a complimentary find to extend the memories to include all of the photos and keepsakes of the journey. The “Not Lost” on the cover is perfect to reminder that being lost is relative to where I may find myself geographically.
