So Airbnb and Pantone teamed up to create the "Outside In" house in London, where people can walk in from the grey winter outside and find themselves "glamping" in an indoor forest.
There's an adorable tent set up for the kids, stump seats so renters can chat with the trees, a two person tub, an herb garden kitchen and a greenhouse/dining space perfect for potting over pancakes.

This reminds me of when my sister, from Miami, moved to Mass. for college. She had never lived through the cold or snow of a northern winter, nor its short grey days. She didn't even know what most of the trees were. When she needed a reminder of home, she visited the school's tropical greenhouse.
