The snow is falling outside for the first time this year and already I am longing for the days of summer (the days that I feel I was cheated of a bit this year).  We built a tree platform a couple years ago that is is lovely, but we are always looking to improve it.  The Bubbletree Company is an inspiring french tree-house company with a great concept and lots of available accessories that are giving me so many ideas.

This fabric railing is so sleek and interesting.  I think it must act as a wind break but I am really interested in how it was done.  The panel feeds through the poles (which are attractively at a slight angle) and I think it must be fed over a cable to keep it tight.

Available accessories include hammocks, safety equipment, nets, chairs, lighting system, solar shower, picnic basket, lifting system…hmmm

Most importantly – though I don’t think it would help me to comfortably hang in my tree house in today’s snowy weather – there is the bubble.  The bubble will, if weather requires completely encase the platform in a tent like structure — like a bubble hanging in a tree.

The whole package (bubble included) will cost you a pretty penny for sure (over $20,000), but looking, for inspiration to create your own, is free.
