Trending on Remodelista: 5 Design Ideas for High Summer

July 27, 2018

We’ll be sad to see July go. But, courage—August lies ahead, with lazy days and sunflowers in the garden. The Remodelista editors spent the week discovering new design ideas for high summer. Here are five of their favorites.

Pantry Storage

“Built in 1765 by poet/naturalist Myron Benton, Troutbeck served as a country house and retreat for Benton’s friends and associates, including Mark Twain, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the naturalist John Burroughs,” writes Julie.

“Trying to reduce your household water consumption? Look no further than your toilet, the number-one water guzzler,” suggests Janet. See a roundup of water-saving toilets in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.

Annie discovers “handcrafted cutlery with handles made of apple branches, so reminiscent of deep woods and wilderness, they could be from the set of Moonrise Kingdom.” See more in Camp-Style Cutlery by a Melbourne Craftsman.

Precut Wood Siding

On the former site of a dilapidated \1950s-era farm on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee off the coast of Rotterdam, Korteknie Stuhlmacher Architecten &#8\2\20;constructed with cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels precut to size and assembled on-site within two weeks,&#8\2\2\1; writes Alexa.

The Western red cedar siding of the house is finished with a natural wash to “anticipate the patina and grayness,” the architects say. “The house will not need painting in the future.”
