Atherton Treehouse

The day of the big reveal: Just in time for a birthday party, we unveiled the finished treehouse bedecked with a massive red bow. You may recall that during the construction process, we covered it each night with black cloth so as to not spoil the surprise. (See this post.)

Inside, the treehouse is loaded with play accessories. A mini kitchen nestled in the corner has plenty of space for kitchen gadgets on the shelves and hooks above the stove. Under the window, versatile wall-mounted table and stools can be folded flat for more floor space and set up in a jiffy when dinner’s ready.

On the far side, a hand-carved heart cabinet provides more storage while the door below cleverly hides a secret escape hatch.

Each chair is handcrafted from sustainable redwood and stained with the vibrant hues of our eco-friendly tung oil.

Down below, row boat 42 is filled with sand for digging, scooping, and making sand castles.

Even the bow was made from scratch using chicken wire armature covered with brown paper and red spray paint. Here’s Kat with her masterpiece!
