christmas trailer
Because I’m a ridiculous person, I decorate our camping trailer for different holidays. This is the second time I’ve decorated for Christmas, but I went a different route. Last year, which you can see HERE, featured a hot chocolate theme. I also set up the banquette last year, whereas I turned it into a bed for this year’s shoot (gotta love camping trailers!). This year I went with more of a more of a Scottish picnic theme, with red tartan bedding, whiskey, and shortbread biscuits.
Why yes, I did decorate our camping trailer for the holidays! I mean, it’s 2020…what else am I going to do?! I needed a creative project and we’re in a pandemic, so this was perfect. I turned on the heat, put on some holiday music, and sipped some cinnamon whiskey while I decked out our little glamper.
We got this little 1999 Prowler a few months ago and I am simply in love with it. It was in desperate need of a makeover, which it promptly received (I’ll have to post before and after photos at some point). We were able to go camping several times this year and we can’t wait to go again! It’s very small and cozy, but has heat, A/C, a fridge, a little bathroom, gas stove, oven, and a microwave! It even has a Keurig because, well, I’m extra like that… and so is Miss Patty. That is what we affectionately named the trailer, which was a brilliant suggestion by my best friend, Kate. We love Gilmore Girls and, well, the trailer IS a “prowler” after all. ;)
I purchased the little lantern string lights years ago, but never had the right place for them…until now! I don’t remember where I bought them (probably Ross), but I know they were less than $10! The snowflake and reindeer pillows, as well as the plaid blanket, are from my living room (ha!). The velvet bolster pillow, the trailer pillow, and placemats are from Ross. The black and white throw blankets, on the dinette seats, are from Tuesday Morning. The curtains and Happy Camper mugs were an Amazon purchase and I found the red and black buffalo plaid pillow covers at Shein.com. Target was my source for the mini (36”) pre-lit tree, the hot chocolate bar supplies, and the white twinkle lights. All in all, this shoot was both inexpensive and fun!
