… and poolside too. Because it’s summer. And summer in NYC means wishing for a pool or a beach where I can cool off because it’s already too hot! On that note, here are some of my favorite mid-century modern pieces poolside or beach side. Let’s all pretend to be in a better place…

Frederick Stelle‘s renovation of his Long Island home includes a set of Richard Schultz’s 1966 Collection of patio furniture. I am loving these lounge chairs and the infinity pool! Why am I not there drinking a mojito?

On a secluded beach in New Zealand is the Whangapoua Sled House built by Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects (say that 3x fast). A pair of Finn Juhl lounge chairs looks out to the sandy beaches. The hearth, cowhide rug, and Eames Walnut Stools give the space a rustic, cottage feel.

So besides looking at other people’s beach houses and luxurious pools, how are you going to keep from melting this summer?
Such a great post to start off the weekend!
Oh those butterfly chairs give me goosebumps just sitting there all cool and laid back! We just refinished some of our Hardoys this week and can’t wait to get new covers. Love that shot! Spend the summer? Apparently I will spend it drooling over pictures you post! That should keep me cool. Ha Ha!
sigh. want to go there. all of them.
