Funky n' Klunky- an artists shed? fort? hippie hut?

 

The colors maaannn....the colors..... Check out this unique shed, fort, or kids cabin- I'm not sure exactly what it is, or who it was built for, but it sure is a head turner!

Let your kids "Rock-It", with this really cool Rocket Tent/Fort....

 

Another simple yet clever playhouse or play space for kids. I'd LOVE to see a load-bearing version of this for camping (well, it wouldn't have to look like a rocket) where the 2nd "level" would be useable/sleepable, and the whole thing could be supported by hanging it from a hefty tree limb. Its probably been done, but the fact remains, I'd still like to SEE it- lol....

Its got "Ikea" written all over, but its actually made by the company "PB Kids"

A Fun Reading Fort/Bed Hideaway for Brainy/Bookworm Kids....

 

As I was a bookworm myself, as a kid- well, still am- I would have LOVED this little hut/reading playhouse!  Its appears as if inside is ample space for a bed/sleeping, but its hard to really make out the interior in the photos.

A ship fort/treehouse bed mounted to the ceiling of a kid's room....

I might be a little afraid of my kid climbing up and over the rope rails and really messing himself up, but WOW, for an eye candy shot alone, what a cool fort. Is the bed inside? I wish I could see more. Part ship, part treehouse, part tiny wooden cabin- ALL incredible playhouse- I'll take it!

A junk fort/treehut made from lumber scraps.....

Now THIS is the kind of fort I love stumbling across- hokey, fun, sloppy, and clearly made by a kid. I wish all the fort books out there had more of this line of shacks in 'em- MUCH more "Real" than all the father-built or designer playhouses, treehouses, and clubhouses out there.
