Treehouses

We coveted these treehouses a few months ago, and this morning I found these. 

For a whole collection of treehouses pick up a copy of Pete Nelson's book that feature some of the coolest and most unique designs.


These modern Baumraum Treehouses are so rad it hurts a little.
Here are 10 more gorgeous designs to imagine frolicking in until we make our own. Who's going to help me start building one?

The Graduate

'The Graduate' is one of my all-time favorite films, and this particular scene is SO aesthetically up my alley. I want to use this as the inspiration for an entire room some day. The black and white striped awnings, the vintage "bar" sign, the lush green back-drop that almost looks jungle-esque. 
Director Mike Nichols sets up each shot as if it were a painting, creating a composition that exquisitely propels the story forward.
Little known fact: The famous legs in the movie poster belong to Linda Gray, aka. SUE ELLEN from "Dallas".

DIY Haunted Halloween Hitchcock Homage
Perhaps my favorite episode to date, and definitely the scariest, we take on Halloween with our haunted Hitchcock homage. Corinne and I shot this entire episodes ourselves, as we do with all of our episodes. Be sure to watch the 2nd half, and hopefully you'll see why we are especially proud of this one.
DIY Mirrored Back Splash
In this episode of Decor It Yourself, I take our dark and dingy sink area and give the back splash a face-life. Again, bringing a new technique into the mix by cutting mirror and tiling it with mastic. Us ladies can do it all! Oh, and a vintage Ghostbusters tee always helps.
Be sure to send in photos or video of YOUR cool DIY decor to Threadbanger.com/submit by October 19th for a chance to win Mark Bittman's Kitchen Express!
