I don't know about you, but as a kid, I loved any chance I got to "camp out" in the backyard with my siblings and friends. Usually, this meant sleepovers on the trampoline. We had so much fun!

Wouldn't it be awesome to construct a backyard tent setup like the one pictured above? My kids would go crazy for something like that! Truthfully, I think I'd be the one sneaking away to read a good book (or maybe take a nap!) in there as often as I could. 

A backyard tent doesn't have to be elaborate. So in that spirit, I've gathered 4 more fun tent inspirations below.

Wyoming Town for Sale Will Make Our Dreams Come True

buford wyomingSo I couldn't help noticing today: There's an entire town for sale for $100,000. A whole freakin' town in Wyoming! And while I don't exactly have $100K sitting here in my back pocket, I can't believe how cheap that is. Do you know what $100K will buy you in my neighborhood? A bathroom. Maybe a parking space.

Can I please buy this town?

I have so many ideas! I mean, sure it's way out in Wyoming and there's only three houses, a gas station/convenience store, and a post office, plus one inhabitant. But I see soooo much potential here. I almost want to set up a whole new Pinterest account just to help me decorate my new town I'm about to buy.

kim kardashian shoesKim Kardashian is not the first person I'd go to for home decor inspiration, but maybe she should be. Have you seen her shoe closet? Oh the sweet rainbow of orderly hues! Girlfriend's got all 18 bajillion of her shoes neatly arranged by color. This photo is just one of three pretty, pretty shoe closet pictures she posted via Instagram.

Inspiring, no? Not that I have as many shoes as that. It takes exactly 30 seconds for me to arrange the three burlap-and-rope bundles I wear as shoes (just kidding, sort of). But as a home design motif, the rainbow is the way to go.
