“HIATUS” – The “Glamp Chic” Camper Tour

4 Comments

As the day for the maiden voyage nears, I would like to introduce you to HIATUS, my “glamp chic” tent camper (scroll down for video tour).

One of the most beautiful aspects of camping is that the experience can be as primitive or as luxurious as desired. I wanted to create a space to reflect, rest, recharge, and reset in nature to provide an opportunity to nurture myself in a myriad of ways.

The tent camper interior design is what I could classify as “glamp chic” which includes down feather comforters, bamboo cutting boards, African mud cloth, custom designed pillow covers, down throw pillows, 400 count cotton duvets, cotton sheets, cotton rugs, cotton throw, candles, hanging planters, live plants, and an embellished throw pillow.

The facilities inside the camper include a 2 burner propane stove, 3 way refrigerator, faucet, 16 gallon water tank, Thetford camp toilet (hidden under the bench seat), 100 watt solar panel, 20L TruFlask cooler, and a make shift portable shower (yet to be constructed). These basic facilities will provide me with the option to boondock or stay at a campground with water and electric services.

Interior of the Pop-Up

Leave a comment

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.
