Whether you live in San Francisco, Brooklyn, or points in between, you can pretend you've hopped the pond to summer in Britain with the Life Is Beautiful Deckchair ($151). Just fold up this beauty, tuck it under your arm, and head to the nearest park for some sunning. With a frame made from sustainable merpauh wood that's been treated with teak oil, this fab chair will hold up against an unforeseen thunderstorm, while the canvas, a polyester and cotton mix, will tell everyone how you really feel about life.

In full Summer vacation mode, Gossip guy Chace Crawford recently did some light reading, drank a fountain soda, and lounged in a sophisticated striped chair in a London park. If you happen to live in L-town and want to do some lounging of your own, a little investigative Flickr-ing suggests that you can do the same in Hyde Park. If you live on the other side of the pond, no worries, I've gone and found those purdy chairs for you.

When I think of Summer furnishings, I think of bright, poppy colors with light footprints. I don't want anything that's too heavy on the eye, or too weighty to move easily! That's why I love these Graham and Green Striped Deck Chairs (about $80).

In the current issue of Vanity Fair, writer Bob Colacello interviews Nancy Reagan on everything from her late husband to stem cell research in his article "Nancy Reagan's Solo Role." While the article is full of fascinating information about the former first lady, my eyes were immediately drawn to this photo on the website. The green expanse of lawn, framed by the diminutive Reagan perched upon an elegant, feminine chair, seemed to be the perfect portrait of the quiet, composed woman.

While I wanted to love Bottle Shock, the film about California's vineyards featuring the blind Paris wine tasting of 1976, I had mixed feelings about the movie. However, I had nothing but love for the decidedly rustic digs that Sam (Rachel Taylor) inhabited on the Chateau Montelena vineyard.
While I can't imagine anyone actually living this exposed to the elements (at the very least some mosquito netting would've helped), I do love the overall effect of the building.

I love too many colors and styles to ever go only black, white, and modern, but I applaud he who has the restraint (and the balls) to do it. I spotted this large Georgian house in Tetbury, a small town in — believe it or not — the Cotswolds, and was blown away. Short of a dab of yellow paint in some artwork and its plush green lawn, the house is all black, white, and gray, and each room is essentially either entirely black or white.

I love Adirondack chairs for their distinctive and comfortable shape, and I love them even more when they're found at a ridiculously reasonable price. This Painted Adirondack Chair ($99, regularly $169) from Smith and Hawken is a fabulous steal, though plenty of other folks have realized that as well: while the chair was available in sage, white, and red, only the red color is still available. Crafted from durable, weather-resistant acacia and rubberwood, the chairs also feature galvanized hardware and are painted with a matte acrylic.

GiggleSugar recently posted this zombie lawn sculpture, which she claims would make your garden absolutely perfect. She writes, "Just imagine the following little bucolic scene. You wake up, make some tea with honey, sit down in your lawn chair and stare at this thing's face while you enjoy your plants and flowers.
