Since the season is well under way, and our Fire Island house isn't quite yet finished, I am left to dream about and covet (aka stalk) other's idyllic summer homes till then. I stumbled on this upstate New York beauty tonight while researching one of our last details to purchase, the sliding barn door hardware for the new bathroom.

I love the owner,
Tom Givone's mission to explore "the contrast between historic and modern and play these extreme elements against one another." It is one that I am trying to channel in our house. The Floating Farmhouse is also available to rent, (now there is a fall-back plan)!
