...In a treehouse that is! As a child I used to dream of living inside of a tree after I read Brambly Hedge books with amazingly detailed illustrations by Jill Barklem. A treehouse is definitely the next best thing! I honestly thought living in an actual treehouse would be just as unreal a dream as my childhood fantasy of living inside a tree.

Linda Aldredge built this treehouse retreat full of light with her own hands. It was designed by her friend Kursten Bracchi, who was also helping with the building process. I like how everything is very utilitarian and rustic, yet very stylish and modern. The house gets the little energy needed from solar panels, so it is an environmentally friendly living accommodation too.

I suppose the strict legislation in Finland might prohibit building an actual house in the trees, but one can always dream... Some more daydreaming material can be found from Amazon, here and here.
