Summer is here and we can't help but think about outdoor sleeping arrangements. Our favorite option: a cozy canvas hammock.


Here's a utilitarian example that we love for outdoor lounging. It's available for sale—or you can whip out the sewing machine and make your own from a painter's drop cloth and some other hardware store parts.
