A dream becomes reality...Karens tent




I'd like to start off my first blog with a real treat that has never been published before.  It is a tent which I designed and had built on Marks Cove, the backyard of our summer house.  The frame was built by Patrick O'Shaughnessy, and the tent was custom crafted by David Ellis of www.cowboycamp.net.  I would like to thank them both for their help with this project.  Above is a tent decked out in safari gear.  All pillows and accessories by Karen Robertson.  Below the view from a window. 





The blue haze dining tent.  Notice the starfish silhouetting the canvas roof.   




Our little handmade row boat. Accessorized for the holidays.
 





The safari tent, my nephews favorite.





This is the blue haze lounging tent.  The bed was designed by me and made by Patrick from pieces of drift wood from the backyard.





Our festive Fourth of July party tent. The little flags sewn on rope  were inspired from a vintage set I had previously seen.  The table base is a hand painted ships bucket from the state of Maine.  








Our Dog Wylie who enjoys being eye level with nature. He also enjoys the sounds and sights.

 


Lucille Kitchen covered this desk with over 1,000 sea urchin spines.  Just amazing, she is such a great artist.
