According to this nymetro article, some parents on Long Island are spending up to 6 figures on professionally designed treehouses for their children.
When I was a kid, not only did I walk 10 miles to school in the snow with no shoes,
my treehouse was a cardboard box.

haha I’ve seen this on tv – I made my own treehouse using scrap wood from my dad’s treehouse – it was no where near this nice looking.
hey hey. that’s my damn line!!!!! and there ARE no snow in la!!!
woah. i walked to school with no shoes too!!! apparently, so did my parents! =P what a coincidence!
didn’t have trees in my backyard. we couldn’t even afford cardboard boxes. had to use plastic safeway bags.
ok, that is disgusting that parents spent that much on treehouses! yea, we had one too! it was a tree with wooden bars on the branches. like 3 wooden bars. that was our treehouse. hahahha i like your cardboard box tree!
i walked 10 miles in the snow with no shoes…. uphill…! both ways!!! =P
but but …. you lived in california. what snow?
we played with red folding chairs. don’t ask.
geez louise!
oh my… i want a treehouse for my future kids but man over six figures is just plain crazy!
wow… they look pretty awesome tho!
wait, what snow???
Hahahaha
for 6 figures, that looks pretty damn shitty. haha
those houses look sooo awesome. if i had money, i’d build one for myself.
hahaha it’s so funny that you’re writing about this. i’ve been researching this yesterday. i sooooooooooooo want to build one for my kids on my own!
We’re building a house. I had a friend in all seriousness ask me if I considered having the architect draw up a mini version of the plans, and then having the builder make a doll house or a play house for the kids.
I said, No actually. We had not considered that.
Did you ever look at the playhouses at Fashion Island, they do an auction every fall. They are amazing. Truly crazy.
