hiding places...six totally amazing tents

I've always loved the idea of a little hideaway:tree houses, tepees, pimped-up sheds they all have such a secretive dreamyappeal. But its the humble tent thats having a bit of a moment. Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg was an early adopter and loves to sleep the one pitched in the middle ofher meatpacking loft. "Its' so cosy!" she says.

Well, high five DVF, I'm totally with you. So...whether you're planning on setting up yours in the wilds,  or just your living room here are some tents to tempt you.

I feel giddy: this is so incredible. Cosy no. cool very.

Some of our writing on this blog we like to promote (consider them highlights), these are those entries since mid-January 2011.
