Sneak Peek: Texas River House

By Haskell HarrisJune 23, 2009

Recently I've been thinking that I should give a sneak peek of some style related things coming up in the magazine.

So here goes: My favorite Southern Style piece in our upcoming August/September issue is about an idyllic Texas river house on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

The photo below is an out-take from our photo shoot (Andrew Geiger shot it for us and he's amazing). I love how minimal the camp cots are, and the whole house has the same vibe. It's both rustic and modern—a combination that always works:

Stay tuned for an expanded gallery of out-takes when the next edition hits newsstands.

And just in case you might want to try the utilitarian look of camp furniture at home, here are a few sources:

1) Cabela's army cot (almost a dead ringer for the one above):

2) The beautiful and super expensive cot by Bottega Veneta, quite possibly the chicest daybed ever designed:

3) These camp stools from Design Within Reach feel like something off the set of Out of Africa. A pair of them at the end of a bed in an all white room would be fantastic:

4) The classic stools from Hable Construction. Everyone has seen these, but I think they always look perfect in children's rooms because the colors are so happy:
