Treehouse Inspiration by audrey gebhardt

We’re building a treehouse. We’re calling it Treehaus, and we’ve got some big big plans for this lil baby in the sky that I can’t wait to tell you about!

I first started thinking about treehouses in 2012. I imagined building a house in the sky (all by myself) attached to my house on Long Island. I had about $5000 to spend on it because I was a bartender living with my dad and didn’t know how much money that was in real life. I saw the one pictured below (Camp Wandawega) and was smitten with the idea, telling all of the guys that would sit at my bar that I was going to do this. And theeeeen- I told my dad. The one who’s house it was. The one who is a real estate broker and knows all about building codes and he said no. Little did I know, seven years later I’d be living with a guy who happens to have a ton of construction experience. And also had his own dream of a stellar treehouse in his backyard. So here we are, building the treehouse we both dreamed of from 2000 miles apart.

Here are some baller treehouses that might inspire you to have your own castle-in-the-clouds dream!
