016: HOW TO LOOK GOOD POOLSIDE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m writing to you from my bed in Brooklyn. Last Sunday, we covered up the new pool furniture, put the noodles in the shed, and headed back to Greenpoint with a small nursery’s worth of basil. Pool season is, depressingly, over. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gcI1!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb42f7230-4d88-4551-99c6-e711c397bc9e_1440x902.jpeg" target="_bl

5 GREAT ROOMS — which was intended to be a recurring column — will be back later this fall, but for now, let’s zoom out in keeping with the POOL PARTY theme of this month.

Today, everything I sourced to outfit my newly renovated backyard, complete with a brand-new pool — a project 13 years in the making.What comes to mind when you think of sitting poolside? Do you picture David Hockney in socks and a sweater, lounging by his hand-painted shell in the Hollywood Hills? Do you imagin
013: THE ONLY OUTDOOR FURNITURE GUIDE YOU’LL EVER NEED (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a reason why good outdoor furniture is so hard to find.When it comes to interiors, aside from shifting styles and budgets, the only true variable that a designer must account for is you. The body is, of course, a walking calamity; a designer must think about the way you sit, the way you move, the drinks you might spill, the toes you’ll probably stub, the smells you may emit.
