a glamping WE WILL GO
Summer is coming and you know what that means … warm weather, cold drinks, and camping! If you’re looking to camp in style, we can help. Follow along as we recap how our little fish house got renovated into a sleek camping dream.
We had always dreamed of decorating a camper, and our dream finally became a reality last fall. When we got first saw Millie (yes, we named her) on a Facebook sell and swap page, we knew we had to have her. Our first step required our handyman, aka Dad, to fix the axels to function as a camper instead of a fish house. After Dad made some important functional fixes, it was our turn to make our camper into a glamper.
The first change that we made involved the exterior. We sanded her down and then bought the town out of white spray paint (no joke) and got to work. After we painted the entire exterior white, it was time to decide what color to paint the wings. We wanted them to stand out, so we chose gold. Gold wings? Yes, please! With the exterior done, it was time to work on the inside.
There was plenty of work to be done on the interior, but we were ready for a challenge. We patched up the ice fishing holes, ripped out the carpet, and did a ton of cleaning. Once that was done, we got right into making Millie pretty.

The fridge and stove had both been given a fresh coat of white paint as well, which made them shine just like new. as we looked at Millie’s bare interior, we thought about what furniture choices we could make. Our first instinct was that she needed a cozy bench as a space to take a cat nap, read a book, or just chill out. We then got to decorating with colorful kitchenware, throw pillows, pictures, and a few other lovelies.
Next we were able to pick out some beautiful home selections from our friends at Wayfair. We chose their crisp white hexagonal tiles for the kitchen. They added the perfect touch to our Millie. We also picked out their wood-patterned vinyl flooring, which was the finishing touch she needed.
With the decorating behind us, our lovely Millie was ready for some glamping. We are so excited to share her with all of you, and hope that she inspires some future glamping adventures.
