treehouse is ONE!


Just one year ago, a humble little treehouse opened its doors to the world!

365 days later, treehouse's branches have grown high into the sky..we've branched out to over 40 designers, started craft classes in the neighborhood, welcomed community events and seminars, and hosted some spectacular soirees (along with one cherry blossom circus...)

even though we are now one ring wide, the trees continue to expand. come help us celebrate one year, TONIGHT, from 6-9 pm.

see you in the branches!!
