Weekend Fun: Lynne Knowlton’s tree house
Designer Lynne Knowlton decided she wanted needed a tree fort…
Where else are we going to have pajama parties ? Where else can we eat popcorn for dinner ? Where else are we going to go when we want to hide from the kids, or the dinner dishes ? Duh …the tree fort. Who says tree forts are only for kids ?
So she bought the remnants of her neighbor’s barn, destroyed by a tornado, and hired a builder. Her contractor Chris delivered…complete with sleeping loft, dormers and wood stove…
Oh, yah, the fort kinda got away from me !
Since then Lynne has added custom railings, a kitchenette complete with sink, and a slide…

THANK YOU Lynne for your inspirational project! 🙂 Now Frank wants a treehouse too, a problem when you live in an apartment!

How much did it cost to make that?! It looks amazing. I need one like that.
It is amazing isn’t it? I’m afraid we don’t know the cost. You might try asking the owner via her blog… http://www.lynneknowlton.com/category/our-treehouse/. Thanks for stopping by!

I’d love to see the footprint of the cabin could you email me?
Hi Jean, I’m afraid we don’t have any plans for Lynne’s tree house. Please check Lynne’s blog http://www.lynneknowlton.com/category/our-treehouse/ or contact her for more information.
Thanks for reading!

Hi Lynne, I came across you on facebook.You did a wonderful job, I also built a treehouse 2008.I have pictures.I lived in it for a full year, with very little amenities. I was at Barnes and Noble with my two daughters and my oldest showed me a book on treehouses and that intrigued me so I bought the book and the rest is history.
Thank you for reinspiring me after seeing your treehouse..
Sincerely Jon.
Hey Jon,
