Semi-Permanent Tents

An alternative to a traditional home.

"Glen Lajeski spied a newspaper ad listing acreage for sale. Intrigued, the Disney executive asked his host if they could look at the land on their way to the airport. Lajeski’s friend hesitated. “I know when you see this property,” he cautioned, “it’s going to change your life.”

"Strolling the 160-acre parcel the following day, Lajeski found babbling brooks and Technicolor hillsides flush with wildflowers. Gauzy strands of moss hung from the oak trees overhead, while verdant vineyards sprawled across the valley below."

So he built a compound of 3 buildings for his family and occasional guests.
This is a TENT. The walls are canvas. This , to me, is brilliant.
What a fabulous idea!
First you can find a beautiful piece of property and if you can not afford to build a home now, or can't wait to enjoy the property....build one of these.
Or one of these......
This is another tent style called a Resort/Mughal Tent. You can see (at the sources I have provided below) all the styles and price ranges that they come in.


In Case You Are Curious About Mughal Tents.....

"The Mughal Emperor Akbar, is said to have lavishly patronized art during his era, his style was a mixture of Persian and Indian motifs, which gets reflected in the magnificent Tents, Carpets, Furniture, captured by the Ottoman army in the seventeenth century. The Sultan had his court in a huge encampment of hundreds, even thousands of Tents, at the center of which was the 'Tented Palace' called the 'Imperial Tent Complex'. The imperial tents were pavilions, walled in by a symbolic rampart of cloth and recognized by their size and the splendor of their decoration, both inside and out. Around the royal enclosure were grouped other imposing Tents of diminishing size belonging to high-ranking officers and officials. Within the royal enclosure is a great variety of Tents of differing size and function, including a Kitchen Tent, Dining Tent, Women's Tent, Bath Tents, Toilet Tents and Stable Tents."
These sites have all kinds of fabulous Indian Decor as well.
Go. Take a peek. You will not be disappointed

‘Alice in Wonderland’

is being remade by Tim Burton. Who has once again
partnered with Johnny Depp and
Helena Bonham Carter.
I can hardly wait.

But, I thought it was the end of Smurf Blue eye shadow. Or at least I was praying hard that it would be !
Yet it is quite effective in this application as seen here on Helena Bonham Carter. I must say I have never seen it being effective on anyone else,
unless of course it is Halloween.
The super fabulous Johnny Depp, he grew up in Margate Florida. Margate is west of Pompano Beach , which is the next town north of Ft Lauderdale.
In case you were wondering, which you probably weren't ....but, oh well. There it is anyway.
Mia Wasikowska will play Alice.
The sets are going to be delicious to my eye. I am excited , I feel like a kid just thinking about it.
I loved the original 'Alice in Wonderland'. But, this one is
going to be 'art'.




Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum

Are you just a little excited to see this film ?

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
