Swimming around in my brain today: Bright as can be with a side of summer. Think I need a cabin by the sea to live out my brightly colored dreamscape.

Cabanas aren't just for the rich and glamorous anymore. If you find yourself sans pool but with an awesome old porch, take a note from the Novogratz handbook and plunk some cabana-esque drapery porch-side. And then invite me over for some lemonade. I'll bring the vodka.

outdoor beds work mighty fine too
