Small Town America: Treehouses


Tree house, Pearl River, NY.

I love tree houses and birdhouses, so much so, I have a Pinterest board devoted to such fanciful designs: http://pinterest.com/mariedoucette/birdhouses-and-treehouses/. It's that childhood love of all things small for our little hands to explore, like dollhouses. 

Growing up in an area that has a wonderful abundance of trees (and houses), we sent a series of summers trying to outdo our last one (http://mariedoucette.blogspot.com/2012/07/treehouse-of-horror.html), reusing the wood from last year that sat in a pile in the garage. It still says "summer" to me whenever I see one, and though I may have designed a different kind that this rather staid one, I found it's charm intact.  

What will you make this summer?
