Ever since the fictional Swiss Family Robinson created their residence amongst the branches, kids (and kids at heart) have fantasized about building the ultimate treehouse. At the Raleigh Home Show, guests can escape the show floor and explore a custom treetop mini mansion, designed and built by RB Landscaping. Members of the RB Landscaping team will be on site at the Raleigh Convention Center to answer questions and help visitors create their own treetop hideaway.
Thinking about branching out on your own with a treehouse? Before you start, here are some tips from Raleigh Home Show guest and host of the PBS series This Old House, Kevin O'Connor. Kevin recently completed a treehouse for his own family, and offers this advice:

- It's not about the house, it's about being up in the trees. Sometimes a simple platform is all you need.
- Trees grow almost as fast as your kids. They will get wider and taller quickly; plan accordingly.
- Building a treehouse is fun. Building one with your kids is more fun. Take your time, drag it out, and get the kids involved.
- If you build it, they will come - the neighborhood kids that is. Get ready for visitors because lots of kids will want to play in your treehouse. The more the merrier, I say.

There's still more to explore at the Indianapolis Home Show! The 93rd annual Indianapolis Home Show runs through Sunday, February 1 - don't miss out!
The show boasts a fully-constructed, decorated, and landscaped Centerpiece Home built entirely inside the Expo Hall by Fischer Homes.
The Fischer Homes team unveils a brand-new home design, the Paxton, and it has an East Coast feel with its distinctive combination of materials, interesting angles, and well-placed windows.
The Paxton is the first of its kind to be featured at the Indianapolis Home Show. The home is designed for comfort - each type of living space is on its own floor. The main floor is for entertaining, with an open kitchen and great room, while the owner's retreat is just a few steps away. The additional bedrooms have their own level allowing for more independent living spaces. The home is also built to include a basement for the first time in home show history!
Presented by Home Pro/Bath Pro of Central Indiana, home-design celebrity Ty Pennington appears for one presentation ONLY on Saturday, January 31 at 11am on the Unilock Outdoor Living Stage in the West Pavilion.
"We could not be more thrilled that Ty is coming to Indianapolis for the 2015 Indianapolis Home Show," said Home Show Manager, Laura Groninger. "From TV host and carpenter to his book and charitable work, Ty is certainly a foremost figure in the world of home improvement and design. We hope attendees will come to the home show to see Ty and then stay to check out the hundreds of vendors we have to answer all of their decorating, construction, and remodeling questions."
And there's more! There will be lifestyle and design experts and more than 20 lavish, landscaped gardens, among many other features. Plus, there's an amazing tree house featured by Above and Beyond that has home show attendees feeling as if they're walking in the woods, complete with all-natural, hand-crafted furniture.
Come to the Indianapolis Home Show through Sunday, February 1 at the Indiana State fairgrounds to see all the exciting features, along with the best in home products as well as decorating, construction, remodeling, and landscaping ideas!

INDIANA STATE FAIRGROUNDS
Jan 16, 2015
Kids used to need large, sturdy trees to build tree houses. Even then a plywood platform and a rope ladder may have been the only components that made up the secret getaway. But at this year's Oklahoma City Home + Garden Show, Tony Mussatto will create the Ultimate Tree House and bring childhood tree house dreams to life - for both the young and the young at heart.
Tony's grand tree house features large areas for visitors to spread out and stay a while as well as nook sand crannies to hide away from reality. The best part of this rustic retreat may be that having the perfect tree is optional. That means kids growing up in a home with no trees or in a small lot can still indulge their imaginations of a backyard hideaway.
"The tree house can be customized to a customer's every need and whim," Tony said. "Kids in the country, kids with big back yards, kids living in smaller city lots, all have the same dream of a club house or secret space. This ultimate tree house can be made to fit all those fantasies, no matter where you live."
Tony will also give several presentations during the show to audiences seeking to learn more about how to choose plants made to thrive specifically in the Oklahoma climate. As owner and landscape designer at Tony's Tree Plantation in Oklahoma City, Tony is an expert on which particular plants, flowers, and trees thrive all across the state. He says the key is finding which varieties will stand up to our state's hot, dry summers and bitter, cold winters.
"Creating an attractive, low-maintenance landscape isn't difficult if you start with a realistic budget, a plan, and the right pieces," explained Tony. "Even 'hardscaping' such as strategically placed boulders or concrete areas can beautifully transform a space."
While Tony has been an exhibitor at the Oklahoma City Home + Garden Show for several years, this year's booth promises to be the most spectacular he has ever put together. From the impressive tree house to the creative gardening and landscaping inspiration, Tony is anxious to get visitors in the space and see their reactions.
"The best part about our exhibit this year is that everyone has the chance to take some of it back home with them," gushed Tony. "At the end of the show, everything will be priced at a major discount. From the tree house to the plants to the accessories, everything will be for sale."
Tony's Tree Plantation is located in the OK Expo Hall in Booth #2205. Tony will be available in the booth to answer questions and talk more about planting for the Oklahoma weather. Stop by the Lifestyle Stage in the OK Expo Hall to hear his presentations on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The Oklahoma City Home + Garden Show takes over the State Fair Park of Oklahoma January 16 - 18, 2015. Don't have tickets yet? Get 2-for-1 on our Facebook Ticket Deals. Treat a friend or family member to the show - we can't wait to see you there!

STATE FAIR PARK OF OKLAHOMA
Aug 17, 2012
Recently I discovered a trend in outdoor living that has been peppered throughout many of my favorite social media platforms. It seems that tree houses are dominating the skies these days! But these are not the generic tree forts you used to play games in when you were a kid; these are serious, adult-styled wonders that float high in the sky.
Building a tree house like any of the ones featured in this post requires extreme skill and a very sturdy tree, non of which I have. So for now, I will just have to look at these photos and dream of my future home in the sky!
Top 3: Favorite Tree Houses
