Time to take a look at...



           
           teepees!


Always a popular feature in kid's rooms -

teepees can also make a rather stylish addition to a more adult space -

They look great in the garden -

and can provide support for plants -

or a home for birds -

They can take on a real sculptural quality when made out of sticks -

or when lit up against the night sky -

Teepees can be the source of inspiration for decorator items for your home -


Teepee style lamps and Teepee teatowel available from Etsy seller Lineacarta


or your walls -

and can add style to your celebration -

In fact, some teepees look so good -

that they almost make me want to spend more time outdoors - I said almost!


So there you have it, a little pow wow about wig wams for you on a Wednesday!

  11. If I had the space I'd have a teepee in my bedroom as a quiet place to lounge and read! I love them. Glad you like the new blog design. :) Em xx
