Our Favorite Forts... So Far: $1000 #FortOnFleek Challenge

We've seen some amazing submissions so far for the $1000 #FortOnFleek Challenge! The competition is heating up (literally, someone built a fort over a hot tub). We can't wait to see what you have in store for the challenge. Here's some inspiration to get you going:

1. A Fort in the Stars

A photo posted by Sadge Tillema (@sadiee_kay) on Jul 26, 2015 at 10:35pm PDT

This amazing fort, built by Sadge Tillema, will have you in the sky. This fort is creatively decorated to replicate the tops of tree at night. The walls of the fort are lined with a unique tree/leaf pattern that are visited by birds. The structure is lined with lights and entrance lined with glowing stars. This is the perfect fort for any stargazer. Inside lie all the necessities to relax and take in the view: camera (make that two cameras), pillows, blankets, and your favorite book. This is the perfect spot to kick back and relax. Check out her feed for more images of this dreamy fort @sadiee_kay.

2. Bohemian Water Fort

Jessica built this fort over a hot tub! Enough said... wait, there's more. With walls of tapestries and trees, this fort utilized natural elements to take it to the next level. This fort is filled with plants, flowers, beads, pillows, blankets, the list goes on and on. All in all, this is the perfect place to grab some shade on a hot summer day. Well done!

3. Dreamy Tree Fort

While not hunkered in the branches of the tree, this amazing fort re-imagines what it means to build a tree fort! Built into the natural landscape, Brigitta centered this fort around the base of the tree and used its limbs and branches to not only support the walls but act as a roof! She used bright green fabrics and a Persian rug to match the colors of the outdoors. Candles, dream-catchers, and hanging lights make this the perfect fort to hangout in all day into night. For a more detailed look at this fort, check out the video below.

#Fortspiration (6 Forts That Will Make You Reconsider Living in a House)

In honor of the #FortOnFleek $1000 Challenge, we thought we'd share some #fortspiration to get you on your way to making your fort dreams a reality. For most, fort building is reserved for those rainy days when you can't escape the house but don't want to escape the fun. For others, its a way to turn an afternoon into an adventure in the house. However, we think forts have a home outside of the basement and living room-- OUTSIDE! Check out this mystical outdoor fort made of scarves. Centered in a forest landscape, this fort escape takes you into a bohemian foreign land. We think this would be the perfect addition to any backyard. One days like today (it's currently 80°, sunny, and clear blue skies with the perfect amount of clouds) this is the perfect outdoor activity. And, once you're done, you can cool off in the fort under the shade.

The Dreamer

This is another great choice for the outdoors. This fort building aficionado used a tent to create a starlight nighttime paradise. Is that cheating? Maybe, but it looks great!

Eclectic Fort in an Urban Pad

EXPOSED BRICK AND A FORT? This can't be real life. Escape the concrete jungle/city atmosphere and climb into this stylish wonder. This fort grabs styles from all over the world, merging them into a eclectic fort experience. This fort isn't just built, it's lived in and loved by its owner. Can someone say #fortgoals?

Our Paisley Flannel Sheet Set would make the perfect addition to this forts walls. A traditional pattern re-imagined.

Netflix and Chill

This one's pretty self explanatory. You love your room but you need to change it up. You also don't want to unplug from the latest episode of that Netflix show you've been watching all summer... Enter, the Netflix and Chill fort.

It provides all the essential Netflix watching needs as well as room for friends.
