This is our backyard … taken a few weeks ago in the deary of what is Wisconsin springtime {can’t wait to see the bloomin’ lushness come around!}.
We live on some 125ish acres of wooded property. Complete with ponds and plenty of wildlife! Heron, deer, hawks, opossum, mink, coyote, turtles, snakes, fish, ducks, geese … and the occasional horseback rider {most of the time it’s miss teenager}.
So when I saw these treehouses … let’s just say … there’s some serious wanting going on!
I love the thought of hiding away somewhere, tucked into a cozy spot where no one can find me. When I was younger, I’d see a house with one of those little, nooky-type towers and I’d dream of hiding away in there with a book. My sister and I used to make cozy spaces for ourselves to play and get lost in … and did you ever make houses on clotheslines with mom’s sheets? We’d play in there for hours!
Anyway. I am seriously loving these treehouses and the best part is, we’ve got plenty of space for one! Or two? :)

The one below is my fav! Think I can talk CJ into one? Or is it that the children should be talking him into one? Or two? :)

Hi Tracie! Oh, I loved the sight of these treehouses!! We had one growing up in our backyard, built in an old apple tree. It was a space that could become anything and like an old friend to visit! Thanks for the post….brought back some great memories! And I hope you get one (or two) treehouses for you and your family ;-)
okay… that is the coolest ever. i especially love the bottom one. what a cool thing to foster imagination! go for it!
Oh . . . if you build one (or two) can I please come over to play?? We had a “tree fort” in our neighborhood . . . but it was mostly a pallet suspended in the branches of a tree in our neighbor’s yard. But I’ve always dreamed of having a real one!! I think you AND the kids should lobby CJ to increase your chances! He’d have to cave with a beautiful Girl Tribe begging him!!
the mom sheets fort had me laughing…. see what you rememeber… and remember we’d make like a hotel out of it with separate rooms and all!!! i definitely like your choice of the treehouse it reminds me of when we were in chile!!!!
Are you kidding me? Get one, get two, get three…and make sure to invite me!!! :) lol
Wouldn’t it be wild to have one that looked like the elvish tree houses in Lothlorien in the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers? All beautiful curves and magical lights and gilding?
Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. I say you get tree houses!! One for everyone!
