Brooklyn Woman Builds Livable Tree House

Bedford-Stuyvesant resident Alexandra Meyn is living out everyone’s childhood dream of living in a tree house, The New York Times reports.

Unable to find a job upon graduating from the Pratt Institute in May, the 33-year-old decided to work as her own interior designer. She thereby constructed a 17-foot-tall treehouse on a raised platform — she couldn’t suspend it from the tree’s trunk —  anchored to a mulberry behind her apartment building. What’s even more impressive is that she completed the task with less than $400.

Her cozy abode is covered with a collage consisting of pages from fashion magazines, strings of lights and pink decorative bats. What more could anyone ask for?
