This Dad Transformed His Daughter’s Bedroom Into A Fairy Wonderland

Katie Mythen-Lynch

When it comes to decorating kids bedrooms, most parents spend a weekend grappling with Peppa Pig wallpaper, add a cute rug and open the wine.

One super dad however, undertook an 18-month construction project in an effort to give his little girl a bedroom most kids could only dream about.

Imgur user and proud dad Radamshome took to the photo sharing site to give the public a sneak peek inside.

“My daughter wanted a fairy tree in her room that she could sit inside and read books, climb the branches, and also have a top sitting area.” he explained. “I was kind of unprepared for the physical realities of this project.”

Using Disney set-design as his inspiration, the determined father got to work. Warning: Prepare to feel inadequate.

First, a shot of how the room looked before dad worked his magic
