Summer Playhouse...

This is adorable… Featured in today’s House & Garden section of the NY Times, it belongs to Maxwell Gilliam Ryan, the founder of Apartment Therapy. Built for entertaining, it’s part of his extended family’s weekend home in the Hamptons (Mom on one side and his brother on the other).

I’ve always thought this alone would be enough for a get-away space, as long as it was wired and plumbed. The layout is great – high ceilings, open space, and doors on both sides to let the outside in. This is simplicity at its best – not too big or too fussy, just relaxing and fun. I Love, Love, Love it.

See for yourself:
