Our home-blogging friends at Charles and Hudson tipped us off to a great slideshow of open-air showers at Dwell. Don’t laugh. You know it’d be fun — depending on the weather, of course.
And to be sure, the setting makes a difference. If you live an urban area without much of a backyard, your desire or needs for an outdoor shower will be miles away from what you might go for if you live in, say, this gorgeous place.
To top it all off, Charles and Hudson also offer some guidance on building your own simple outdoor shower.

Michelle is a home designer committed to “clean, simple living.” She recently wrote about her Earth Day project to reduce, as much as possible, her personal carbon footprint for one day. She didn’t eliminate it, but she made a big dent and plans to stay as close as possible to her smaller footprint throughout the year. Michelle will also plant trees to offset the carbon emissions she can’t do away with. An interesting read that includes links to footprint estimating tools.
