Weekly Wrap-Up: Summertime and the Livin’ Is Easy

It’s the height of summer, and we are (and perhaps you are, too) having a difficult time concentrating on neat piles and organized drawers. There are just too many lemons to be squeezed, peach pies to be consumed, and flowers to be sniffed. It didn’t help that our colleagues over at Gardenista and Remodelista were also on summer-holiday mode. Here are some of their posts that distracted us from work this week.

Germany garden Hof Eich via Fantastic Frank — Above: This supremely charming country house with the prettiest rose-lined garden can be yours (it’s currently on the market)—as long as you’re willing to move to Germany. The asking price? €780,000. See Garden Visit: An Enchanted Summerhouse in the German Countryside. Photograph by Magnus Persson, courtesy of Fantastic Frank.

Gate at Helen Dealtry's House in Claverack, New York, Photo by Alison Engstrom for Gardenista — Above: Last week Annie wrote about the upstate New York home of an artist; this week she wrote about the equally lovely exterior.

Julie discovered a history-laden country house estate in Amenia, New York—now an inn—that once counted such literary luminaries as Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau as guests. See Hotels & Lodging: A Storied Bohemian Country Estate Reborn in Amenia, NY.
OK, this pretty laundry room actually makes us not mind doing the wash. See Steal This Look: Simple Summer Laundry Room.
