Sweltering temperatures in New York over the last couple days have made me dream up a myriad of ways to cool down. I can’t say that any of them look as refreshing as this, however:

Elle Decor is showcasing a weekend retreat that is, “Redefining Contemporary Country Chic.” Boy, is it ever. With natural elements like the cedar shower wall and the stone flooring, the country house is embracing its surroundings in a very grown up way. I have to say, if my outdoor shower looked this beautiful, I might never shower indoors again.

I do love nature and being outside, but are those shrubs in the background supposed to be the shower curtain?! I'm not sure how I feel about that yet.
Ha ha! Good point Hilary! I think the showerers would be wearing bathing suits, unless very bold.

Love the shower, I live in the country and this would be perfect for me! No shower curtin needed, this is one of the great part of country living
I put in a outdoor shower several years ago and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !! I live in a secluded area, so no curtains needed.
Every one thought I was nuts until they tried it, now I think they only come to visit to use it.
Just the sun beating down on you or a slight breeze on a hot day while showering is a fantastic feeling. I hate it when I have to shower inside in the winter.
It will be a definate must when I move.
I love outdoor showers! I remember as a teenager showering outside with a sprinkler as a makeshift shower head…lol But she make my dad add somewhat of a screen. Pretty neat! I think my mother must have been the first one to have come up with those things…lol The things she came up woth thanks to those hot summer day & nights. Oh, and I didn't live out in the country either. But then again people weren't as bad as they are now. Yeah, I'm talking about those peeping-toms
Or if you lived in an exclusive, private, woodsy enclave!
I have one very much like that at my mountain cabin. It overlooks the valley 1800 feet below. No neighbors within sight. It is incredibly refreshing to take a shower with a slight breeze blowing.
