WE HAVE A WINNER!! For our #tatineofficial @anthropologie Candle contest // congratulations, @alamodedesigns // some of our fan friends picked your photo as their favorite, so you & 4 friends get to come to camp for a mini vacation.

CAMP PERCH RESIDENTS. when we where cutting the top half off off this dead elm to build the treehouse, we found a little birdies nest — since they where the first actual occupants- we kept it, and now it’s the coffee table centerpiece. // Maybe they’ll come back now to see their old home renovated? #TinyHousesOfWandawega
