I don't typically think of camping as being whimsical , but Field Candy's limited edition Outstanding Tents are functional and playful. Some of the designs are chic, some are silly, and none of them are olive drab. Indeed, now we can sleep in a watermelon under the stars. More

I love everything about my apartment, except the bathroom. It's pretty old, even by San Francisco standards, and just never looks quite clean enough, no matter how hard I scrub. So it was with great envy that I searched these clean, modern bathrooms for you. If minimal and neutral is your thing, you might find these inspiring (I especially like the ones that warm up a bit of the starkness with warm woods). Enjoy. More

The show, which opened today, is as good as ever and one of my favorite new things for 2012 is the Artisan Retreats. The Royal Horticultural Society asked five of the UK's most creative and stylish people to decorate a garden retreat, and each of the results are full of inspiration. More

This is the story of Runaround Sue, the name given to a 1961 Airstream Safari that was lovingly renovated by Prairie Construction. The vintage trailer's original beauty was carefully restored while making it leaner (more efficient) and greener. This time of year already makes me long to head out for the open roads, and now I'm filled with daydreams of spending the summer traversing the country in Runaround Sue. More
