Another great idea for a summer house gift: hurricane lanterns by notNeutral that are at once modern and ethnic.
Below: Set of two small white hurricanes (6 inches tall and 4 inches wide). Steel with weather-resistant baked-on finish, the Moroccan and Mexican-inspired lanterns emit candlelight through tiny pinholes; $32 for the pair at Design Public.
Below: The larger, standalone Black Season Lantern from notNeutral is available in three heights: 14, 20, and 26 inches, ranging in price from $50 to $180. Each size comes with a removable candle armature for easy candle lighting. Also at Design Public.

Inspired by our roundup of barns last week, I went in search of sliding barn doors used in interior and exterior applications. Deceptively sophisticated, sliding barn door hardware allows you to install oversize or extra heavy doors and effectively create sliding walls when space is tight. Visit Barnhouse Modern for more ideas.
