Finally! We've often wondered if the extravagant "outdoor living room" concept could be done on a non-extravagant budget, or at least look nice but not as fussy as the slick magazine spreads on the topic. Portland homeowners Richard Rolfe and Stephen Rutledge have accomplished just that with what they call their "fort," cobbled together from local salvage.
Inspired. Beautiful. Love it to pieces.

Very cool. I love salvaged materials! This takes me back to the days when we used to build forts in the trees using all the neighbors' wood scraps.

I love it! I've always liked the idea of an outdoor living room, but I don't usually like outdoor furniture that looks just like indoor furniture. Their concept solves that problem. I wish I was handy enough to do something like this myself.

I am always drawn to these kind of outdoor spaces versus the pristine contrived patios. It does make you feel like a kid, turning a corner and exploring the unexpected.
