Tree House Update — by Guest Mom Rochelle

You may remember this time last year, we had just started our tree house endeavor. Phase 1 (thanks to grandpa) was the platform, Phase 2 was to make it safe (i.e.add a railing) and paint it. Here is where we are now. I love the way the rope looks and we went with red to match our barn.

So now we are onto phases 3 and 4: make the ladder safer and nicer and start adding features. Here are some of the cool swings we are considering.



Teak Swing from DWR, the leaf swing from Enea Studio, and the beautiful handcrafted oak swing from the Garden Boutique that you can customize with your own poem. Or possibly the romantic swing from Droog — it has planters in the sides and comes with seeds so that the vines will grow up the ropes. (Available through Poaa.com)
