When I was a child my dad made me a treehouse. It was very basic; a sheet of plywood cut to fit between a fork in the trunk of the tree. It was a great place from where to pelt my brother with oranges, but not a place to stay when it rained. Unlike some of these treehouses, which “range from functional to fanciful, sustainable to strange and affordable to incredibly expensive.” I guess we can’t all start living in Wellington’s town belt – maybe now would be a good time to plant a native, so in several decades you could retire to the treetops?

If you have lots of books – or you live in a house full of books – why not organise them by colour? It looks very striking. It probably wouldn’t work in a library, what with the dewey system and all that, but at home it can’t fail!
If you do rearrange all the books at home like this, do ask your parents first (they might mind). Unless you want to really surprise them.
