Not everyone loved camp, but I did! I loved the tents, the cabins, the campfires — the whole nine yards. I think camp style fits right in with the popular utilitarian look, as so many of the elements from camp translate well in to the home. How often do you see the X-base of a camp stool reflected in the upholstered stools placed at the ends of beds? Or the wool Hudson Bay blanket getting along just fine with hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper in a New York apartment? Camp style can be vintage, rustic, modern or cabin, it all depends on how you use it. — Sarah from The Estate of Things
