A summer essential: the canvas cot. Add a few pillows and throws and it becomes an instant daybed. Here are 10 we're admiring (plus sourcing details).
Above: Gardenista contributor Erin Boyle of Reading My Tea Leaves (she's an expert on tiny apartment living) found her vintage army cot on eBay; it replaces a couch with a larger footprint and frees up valuable floor space.
Above: Designed in 1962 by Ole Gjerlov-Knudsen for his son, who was embarking on a camping trip (Kundsen wanted him to travel in comfort), the OGK Safari Daybed is $620 from the Dwell Store. Photograph via French by Design.

Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference, as in the case of these nautical/industrial pendant lights in today's Before & After: A Summer Cottage Reborn on the Connecticut Coast.
Photography by Elizabeth Watsky.
Above: A mix of materials—reclaimed wood shelves, concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, and white tile—create a modern rustic kitchen in this seaside cottage in Connecticut.
Above: Charlotte Tracy, the owner of the house, spotted something similar on Pinterest and became obsessed. "I didn't want a lot of color in the house and wanted to use green and blue as accents," she says. "I found these at Cisco Home in Hayes Valley, San Francisco, and they're even better than the ones I had in mind, because of the rope detail."
Above: For something similar, consider stylist Raina Kattelson's DIY Knotted Lamp Cord project on Design Sponge featuring an Ikea Foto lamp and a length of sisal rope.

Home Inspiration With Sarah Lonsdale
What is it about Japanese camping gear that always seems to look so good? Chalk it up to a flair for good design and the ability to create practical furniture for small spaces. Case in point: Peregrine, a small Japanese outfitter that makes outdoor goods by hand. We've long been fans of the brand Snow Peak and are now adding this latest Japanese find to our camp purveyors list. And while Peregrine puts their furniture to the test in the great outdoors, its pieces look equally at home in the garden. Added bonus: All easily store flat when not in use.
Above: The folding Wing Table sits low to the ground and is made of walnut; ¥22,800 ($222). It's covered in a combination Tablecloth/Apron, ¥3,800 ($37), that is hand-stitched in Iwate by women survivors of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 2011.
Above: The Donkey Table is walnut and comes with a selection of leg sizes. The slatted top rolls up when not in use; ¥24,400 ($238). For information on the stools, see below.
Above: The lightweight Ecdysis Bench has cedar armrests that hold cups; ¥28,000 ($273).
Above: The oak-framed Tick Tuck Stool is adjustable to various heights and folds flat; ¥13,000 ($126.75).
Above: The Yes We Camp! Big Tote Bag has handles on all sides; ¥6,500 ($63).
Above: The Star Pot Stand is made of cedar, brass, and leather; ¥3,000 ($29.25).
Above: The Camel Potholder is leather; ¥3,800 ($37).
Above: The Ecdysis Bench, patterned with a camouflage of trees and snow, is ¥28,000 ($273).

Outdoor Spaces With Alexa Hotz
A screened porch sets the stage for the perfect summer evening: lazy, breezy, and ideally accompanied by a glass of wine and a group of fellow lollers. The best part? No insects allowed.
Architects Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown's screened porch at their weekend place in Rhinebeck, New York, stands out as a model of the form. When the two renovated their house, a farmer's cottage, they introduced a pleasing blend of green walls (so dark they border on Gothic) and midcentury Danish antiques. We studied the ingredients that make Tsao & McKown's porch so appealing and sourced the key elements. Whether or not you happen to have a porch, here's how to create a similar indoor/outdoor look.
N.B.: For our Steal This Look on the interior of the house, see Danish Modern in Upstate New York.

The Essentials
Above: The screened porched is a mix of dark green paint colors. Re-create the palette with Benjamin Moore's Cedar Path 454 on the walls and ceiling, and Farrow & Ball's Studio Green, an almost-black green, as an accent color. For more options, have a look at our Gardenista post Seeing Green: Architects Pick the Best Exterior Green Paints.
Above: A favorite freestanding stove, the Rais Gabo Wood Stove, has a curved front and a well-sealed firebox that ensures optimal combustion control. It incorporates a convection grate above the combustion chamber and wood storage space underneath. Available in black or gray steel; $3,890. Contact Rais to locate a dealer near you. For other options, see 10 Easy Pieces: Freestanding Wood Stoves.
Above: A series of six porcelain ceiling mount fixtures illuminate the screened porch at night. We like Schoolhouse Electric's Alabax Small Surface Mount Fixture, handmade in Portland, Oregon; $85 each.
The Furniture
Above: The Mc & Co Daybed, designed by Corinne Gilbert & Dan McCarthy, is made of one-inch-thick unfinished cedar; it can also be custom ordered in ash, oak, walnut, and pine. It's 40 inches deep, 27 inches tall, and 76 inches wide, and fits a twin-size futon. Pricing starts at $3,900 without a futon, and $4,200 with a premium futon. For more options, see High/Low: The Modern Wooden Daybed.
Above: A handmade rawhide snowshoe rocking chair we sourced from a variety of sites; this vintage Vermont Tubbs Snowshoe Chair is available on 1st Dibs. Another source is Iverson Seek Wilderness, which also offers upright snowshoe chairs.
Above: DWR's Skagen Nesting Tables, inspired by midcentury designs by Arne Hovmand-Olsen, are made of solid walnut; $578 for the set.
The Accessories
Above: West Elm's Silk Hand-Loomed Pillow Covers in an array of muted neutrals are $44 each.
Above: From LA design firm Commune, Kilim Pillows are made from reclaimed kilim rugs; contact Commune for pricing and availability.
Above: This natural Linen Bolster Pillow comes in 16 colors; $75 from Lovely Home Idea on Etsy.
Above: From Signature Hardware, the Brilliant Stainless Steel Watering Can with Brass Accents is $53.95.
Above: Victoria Morris' Brown Bowl with Lavender Glaze is $425 for the extra large bowl measuring 5 inches high by 13.5 inches diameter at March in San Francisco.
Above: The BDDW Firewood Holder is made of steel and canvas, and comes with a bundle of scrap wood from the furniture company's studio; contact BDDW for more information and pricing.
Above: Tsao and McKown sourced a vintage iron doorstop. An alternate is the Tetu Iron River Stone Door Stopper in cast iron, designed by Japanese architect Makoto Koisumi; $75 CAD from Mjölk in Toronto. The doorstop is also at Anaïse in California for $70.
For more screened porches, see Gardenista's Summer Screened Porch Roundup. And how about a porch for the night? See 5 Screened Sleeping Porches. Tsao and McKown head up the firm Tsao & McKown Architects. Have a look at the multigenerational gathering place they designed for Tsao's family in our post Common Ground: A Chinese-Style Family Compound in California.
