Above: Coyuchi's new Cascade Coverlet is the ideal extra layer for turning a lightweight duvet into a bed ready for colder nights. The blanket is made of 100 percent organic cotton, woven in Portugal, and stitched with an all-over pattern to give it a rumpled, quilted appearance. It's available in four colors—(from top) Granite, Alpine White, Pale Ocean, and Indigo—and priced at $298 for full/queen and $348 for king. Matching Cascade Shams are available in standard ($58) and Euro ($78).
Above: The artwork for Coyuchi's new Dotted Lantern Printed Sheets was painted with a fine-tipped watercolor brush, inspired by intricate patterns found throughout Morocco. The pattern was reproduced in exacting detail in two shades—Deep Pewter and Tonal Oceans—on white 200-thread-count organic percale sheets. Standard sheet sets (one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and one pillowcase for twin, two pillowcases for larger sizes) are priced from $248 for twin through $348 for king.
Above: The newest addition to the Coyuchi bath towel range, plush Cloud Loom Towels are made of extra-long staple organic Turkish cotton for a luxurious, slightly shaggy feel. The towels are available in five colors, including (above right) Palest Ocean and Natural, starting at $18 for a washcloth through $68 for a bath towel. At left are Coyuchi's beloved Mediterranean towels—thin but absorbent, in the traditional Turkish style; $8 to $68.
Above: Coyuchi's new 500 Thread Count Supima Sateen sheets are the grandest in Coyuchi's lineup of Supima—a long staple premium American cotton of superior softness and durability (read more about Supima on the Coyuchi Blog). Sheets and duvets are available in two colors—Alpine White and Natural—and start at $448 for a full/queen duvet tahrough $598 for a king sheet set.
Above: Coyuchi's new Cambria collection is truly global: The duvet takes its name from Cambria, California—an ocean-loving town on the central California coast—and is made in an Indian factory that recycles 98 percent of its wastewater. Upon closer inspection of the collection's irregular indigo stripes, you'll find tiny woven diamonds—shapes inspired by traditional African blankets. The well-traveled Cambria starts at $298 for a full/queen duvet, with matching shams from $58.

Outdoor Spaces With Meredith Swinehart
Interior courtyards blur the boundaries between landscape and architecture. They make adjacent interior rooms feel larger and offer a unique combination of fresh air and privacy.
We all want to spend more time in nature, and residents of houses with glass-walled interior courtyards experience a bit of the great outdoors from the comfort of their homes. In structures with courtyards nestled between separate wings, the courtyard is often the most direct (and refreshing) route from one part of the house to another.
Here we've rounded up 10 houses with interior courtyards designed by members of the Remodelista + Gardenista Architect/Designer Directory.
Above: In a densely concentrated neighborhood of modest dwellings and businesses, this Austin house by Alterstudio Architecture is private on the outside while providing communal outdoor space via an internal courtyard. All rooms adjacent to the courtyard have natural ventilation and light.
Above: Also by Alterstudio, this interesting Austin design is situated in a less interesting subdivision. The architects drew attention away from the surrounding neighborhood by turning the focus inward to a courtyard filled with creeping zoysia grass connected to the front of the house by a glass hallway. The structure's architectural focus is the centralized outdoor space and its rear view.
Above: Jennifer Weiss Architecture of San Francisco remodeled a William Wurster house with full-height glass walls abutting the kitchen, dining, and living rooms, making the courtyard an extension of the main open living space. For more from the architect, see Steal This Look: J. Weiss Kitchen & Bar in SF. Photograph by Lucas Fladzinski.
Above: London architects Stiff + Trevillion turned a Victorian vicarage into a single-family home. The resulting part-Gothic, part-modern design features a skylit courtyard to ease the transition from the interior portion of the house to the exterior. See more of the firm's new/old aesthetic in A Victorian Remodel with an Industrial Edge.
Above: This East Hampton house by Deborah Berke & Partners was sited on the far corner of a 1.4-acre property as a way to leave as much of the yard as open as possible. The courtyard shown above is one of several discrete outdoor spaces designed to highlight the landscape. For more by the firm, see Architect Visit: Deborah Berke Artist's Studio in New York.
Above: When Mesh Architectures renovated a Brooklyn house with a garage that filled the entire property lot, the architects created an interior courtyard instead of a typical rear yard. A great room, master bedroom, and master bathroom open onto the courtyard, expanding each of those rooms outdoors, particularly in good weather. For more from the architects, see The Architect Is In: Romancing the Loft with Mesh Architectures.
Above: This compound in Stinson Beach near San Francisco was renovated by Pfau Long Architecture and Marin, California-based Blasen Landscape Architecture. The owners wanted usable outdoor space but had to contend with salt air and extreme winds, so the designers found a solution in a protected courtyard sited among the main living spaces and outbuildings. For the full story, see A Beautiful Seaside Garden at the End of a Dirt Road. Photograph by Marion Brenner.
Above: Architects Edwards Moore renovated a small workers' cottage in Melbourne, adding multiple interior courtyards to lend an outdoor component to the living spaces. The walls of glass help to bring natural light into the all-white interior. For more on the design, see The Magic of Two Courtyards in Melbourne. Photograph by Fraser Marsden.
Above: Renovated by Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects, this Hamptons house is composed of a two-story bedroom wing and a one-story series of communal spaces connected by an open courtyard. According to architect Viola Rouhani, "Every meal happens in that courtyard." For more on the project, see The Architect Is In: A Home in the Hamptons, Designed to Endure.
Above: Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture designed several interior courtyards in an austerely modern Marin house. The courtyards function as art pieces that extend the size of the adjacent rooms. For more by Cochran, see Garden Visit: Andrea Cochran's Courtyard Vignettes.

Architecture & Interiors With Margot Guralnick
Three years ago Gabe Cohen and Jolie Signorile caught wind that a beat-up houseboat was for sale. Desperate for a weekend ticket out of the city, the two, co-founders of Brooklyn design company Fredericks & Mae, recruited six friends and pooled their cash. Two months later the group stood on the roof of their new purchase as a hired tug pulled it from Saugerties, New York, down the Hudson to Rockaway Beach, Queens, where it's now permanently docked.
Built as a party boat (with wine fridge, Jacuzzi, and washer/drawer) for a Goldman Sachs exec, it had later been stripped of its frills and used as a crash pad for the winter crew of the Clearwater, the historic Hudson River sloop. Gabe, Jolie, and gang, many of whom met as students at Oberlin College, came to the project prepped for teamwork. They ripped out the mildewed carpets, painted every surface, and furnished the boat with Craigslist finds and Fredericks & Mae's own games and accessories (that's one of their windsocks catching the breeze on the roof). It's been more of an adventure than any of them could have predicted, but also more fun. And it's only a subway ride away.
Photography by Douglas Lyle Thompson for Remodelista, unless noted.
Above: The houseboat, a Sundance House Barge built in 1986 on Long Island, is moored on a dock in the Rockaways, in Queens, a few blocks from the beach—and the A train. Hurricane Sandy hit just after the group's first summer on the houseboat, and though much of the area was ravaged, the boat rose with the tides and required only patching (but didn't have electricity for eight months).
Above: A curtained sliding glass door leads to the entry hung with a fishing trap. That's one of Frederick & Mae's new Linen Towels on the chair. (See our post on the Summer's Best Beach Towels for a better look and more examples.)
Above: The entry's built-in sofa.
Above: All eight owners of the boat pitched in to paint, reupholster cushions, and decorate the walls—and the work continues. During last winter's deep freeze, the pipes burst. "It's called boat for 'bust out another thousand,'" says Jolie.
Above: A built-in daybed (with firewood storage) and woodstove in the living room.
Above: The room has a much-used hammock with a view. The round straw rug came from West Elm via Craigslist. The low chair is a canoe seat with new caning.
Above: Jolie and Gabe play backgammon on a board that they designed and built. Weekends on the boat are spent lounging, grilling fish (given to them by the sanitation workers who own the boat next door), surfing, and making cucumber-mint gin and tonics. Cleanup and maintenance somehow happen without designated roles—"this place is so important to all of us that it just gets done," says Gabe.
Above: The room opens onto the kitchen sectioned off by a bar. The rope chairs are from Urban Outfitters.
Intrigued? Go to Steal This Look: The Affordable Summer Clubhouse for sourcing details.
Above: The boat came with a burnt orange sink, so the group kitted out the kitchen with orange and white tableware.
Above: Sophia and Honora, two of the houseboaters, painted the wooden bar in a pattern inspired by the old Rockaway boardwalk (since destroyed by Hurricane Sandy).
Above: Limiting the kitchen's palette keeps the open shelves looking tidy.
Above: Another built-in sofa—this one is on the starboard side of the living room.
Above: Every boat needs a whale; this one came from Gabe's grandmother's house and was likely once used a serving board. (For a similar wooden whale, see our post on Sir/Madam's Nostalgic Tableware.)
Above: Stairs beyond the kitchen lead to the two-tiered roof where big parties take place (maximum capacity, they've discovered: 120 people).
Above: Gabe and Jolie on the top of the boat.
Above: There are four bunk rooms—each sleeps two—and the group has a no-nesting rule: "We all just take turns staying in each room and we keep it all neutral. Psychically, it's so much nicer that way," says Jolie. The bedcover is one of Fredericks & Mae's Linen Towels.
Above: The Captain's Room, on the roof, is the largest—"but," points out Gabe, "it also can be the loudest—seagulls drop shells on the roof."
Above: The additional three bunks are below deck. This one has a ceiling light made from a beeswax-dipped glass jug with the bottom cut off.
Above: A nautical poster tacked to the wall.
Above: Fredericks & Mae Darts, Beach Tennis Paddles, and Bocce Balls—Gabe and Jolie like to say that they specialize in "objects for the home, garden, and sky." Take a look at more of their designs in Good Sport: Summer Games by Fredericks & Mae.
Above: A Hudson's Bay Blanket and rattan thrift-store light in a wood-paneled room. (Go to our 12 Easy Pieces if you're looking for a Mosquito Net of your own.)
Above: A corner of the room is decorated with straw hand fans and Fredericks & Mae Darts (the dart bodies are made by US manufacturer Apex; Gabe hand finishes them with colored thread and fletching).
Above: Morgan Evans, one of the houseboaters, drew this "visualization" during the purchase process to "help the group understand what we were getting into," says Gabe.
Above: A tug called the Patty Nolan moved the houseboat (and new owners) down the Hudson River, a journey that took two 13-hour days. Will Van Dorp of the blog Tugster took this portrait as the boat entered New York Harbor.
Above: The houseboat's marina in the Rockaways is surrounded by urban life. The boat doesn't have a working bathroom or shower, but the marina is equipped with surprisingly nice versions of both.
Above: A Fredericks & Mae Windsock flies from a fishing rod.
