Pitch:
Welcome to the cheapest house in the Hamptons! We put this up on a platform in the woods each summer next to a friend's house and have a cool, shady little getaway where sleeping in and reading during the day (when not at the beach) are no problem. It was really hot, however, until we figured out to hang a sunblock over the oculus above (you can't see it in the pics but there are also two windows that open on the sides).
I am a self-confessed hyper-neatnick, so inside I have designed everything myself to fit into the round shape, allowing for all clothes and sundries to be stored out of site.
This is the best lil' get-a-way spot every! I say this 'cause it's inventive, fun and I assume cheap summer livin! Twirly and J-Lupa you hit the mark!
Love the yurt! And the heirloom yurt chair!
This is my kind of camping . . . and you're the best kind of summer house guest . . .
How great.
How do your friends feel about you camping out in their back yard every year? Just curious... it's a great idea though.
seriously, i'd live there year-round. no pun intended.
I find it so funny (in a cute, positive way) that the interior features an outdoors scene, to bring the outdoors in. I didn't think that would be such an issue in a tent!! :)
The paintings are fantastic.
I also love that in this highly unusual place, full of quirk and style, you found many solutions from off-the-shelf retailers. Proves that shopping the "regular channels" does not mean the death of style or individuality. You go, Twirly!!!
Yurts can be very Warm (that's hot) without added windows. Some places zoning does not allow them, but The are cool for the right uses! A tent is cheaper and easier to take down, has windows...btw.
rock the yurt!!!
love the painting, primo; love it.
yurst yurts yurts.
argh, zoning.
