Tiny Designer Tree Houses

Maggie Brindley Gets All the Details Right in Her Miniature Tree House

Tinker Bell (of Peter Pan fame) would suit this miniature tree house perfectly.

At first glance it actually looks like it could be a real home on the inside. That's because the details are executed flawlessly by creator Maddie Brindley. This miniature tree house is inspired by Crabapple Cottage by Jill Barklem in her book 'Spring Story,' and the frame and bark are entirely made from scratch.

While the outside is decorated to look like an authentic tree, the inside flips the script and makes this more of an amazingly furnished family home than a tree house. The term tree house doesn't do justice to the intricacies of this design. From appliances to bed sheets to door knobs to books on the bookshelves, not a single thing seems missing.

While this might be perfect for a few Smurfs as well, it’s actually created for mice!
