TENThouse Suite

July 2020 | by stephanie toews

Gone are the days of roughing it while outdoors camping, enter Glamping- where glamour and camping merge and everyone is a happy camper. The beautiful place where the great outdoors meets comfort and style can be achieved thanks to the growing trend combined with well-made furnishings designed to accommodate Montana elements.

Although there’s a lot of talk in the design world about bringing the outdoors in, interior designer Jeremiah Young turns that idea upside-down with his interpretation of glamping- bringing the indoors out. Creating rooms outdoors layered in the same luxuries you would find at a 5-star hotel are all about attention to detail.

Take a look at a couple of spaces designed by Young. Every piece is handmade, beautiful, functional, transportable, and built to last.

Americana

The custom-built canvas tent featuring exposed metal framework powder coated to perfection provides a rich backdrop for the Americana themed scene. Beautiful bedding layered with coordinating pillows in various fabrics invites you in for a restful reprieve after a day of enjoying the elements of nature.

The 12-foot flag draped over the opening to the tent was handmade in Whitefish, MT.

Lolo folding sling chairs in iconic buffalo plaid fabric by Woolrich and Pendleton Plaid are portable, timeless, and comfortable. The folding, compact design makes them ideal for cabins, glamping tents, and rustic style homes. Young notes “they carry the weight of your body in the sling design for ultimate comfort.”

Camp Hickory

The rich green canvas tent is the perfect backdrop for rustic elegance.

Young suggests lighting is a key factor to create ambiance and warmth in a glamping space. There’s nothing more beautiful than ambient lighting illuminating the inside of a space against nature’s backdrop.

Happy Camper

This Big Ranch Secretary Desk designed by Young, has a compact footprint and functional design.

The Great Falls Chair and Ottoman, designed by Young for Old Hickory Furniture, reflects the cascading waterfalls of Great Falls, MT.

A Homebody’s Summer Oasis

As Montanans, we have such beautiful summers to be thankful for and so many ways to enjoy them. For a homebody like me, creating spaces to enjoy our summers from home is my favorite. When designing an outdoor space, it’s best to approach it as if it was a room within the house.

A Labor of Love

When you walk into this oasis that Brian Amestoy has created in his backyard, it is as if a weight is lifted off your shoulders as you take in the sights and sounds, no matter how many times you’ve experienced it.
