Guest Post: Treehouses

Hello, Shimmer Like Gold readers! This is Katherine, the blogger behind Oh, French!, here guest posting because, as you probably know, Krissy is busy moving across the true north (strong & free).
As readers of my blog know well, I love forests, and cabins & cottages in forests, so it’s only natural that I also have a passion for treehouses! I also think it’s appropriate because Krissy studies interior design, and some of these treehouses are absolutely beautiful, design-wise, as well as completely magical (and nostalgic, for those of you who have been in one before!).

And finally, this isn’t really a tree house, but I’ve been in love with this photo for a really, really long time!

Treehouse

I think that if I won the lottery, and was in a really crazy mood (which I would be, if I won the lottery), I would build a treehouse village (like in the 1991 Robin Hood, which is so cheesy that it’s awesome; it’s like a historically inaccurate medieval party) in the middle of an old wood and, I’d invite all of my friends & readers to live there for free, as long as they help me tend the kitchen, gardens & cook and clean for themselves (no electricity!) and yeah, it would be pretty amazing. /childish dreaming
Thanks for reading! ♥

These certainly put my childhood treehouse to shame! They are so captivating and have such a mystical quality about them. They would make for the perfect fantasy getaway! I grew up in a cedar log house so a treehouse is my dream home. I take a detour every night on my way home from work to drive by the one treehouse we have in the city. I know I’m a geek! Great post :) xx

Those treehouses are gorgeous! By the way, is the last photo from that movie about two girls who find fairies? I think it was called A True Fairytale?

I have longed for a treehouse ever since my parents moved us to a tree-less garden when I was little. One day I will build one for myself, but pretend it’s for my future children! x
