In this house, any kid would be delighted to hear the words, “Go to your room!”

Rob, aka Redditor radamshome, aka Dad of the Century, built a magical tree in the bedroom of his 6-year-old daughter Lia, and shared the mind-exploding how-to in Reddit’s DIY community. It’s an awe-inspiring project, one that includes an inside reading area, climbable branches, a fairy door (you guys, a FAIRY DOOR!) and sweet details such as bird nests and glittery butterflies. Basically, all the things that childhood dreams are made of.

This was no easy weekend endeavor. The 44-year-old father, who lives in Bellevue, Wash. and works as an artist in the video game industry, spent about 350 hours over 18 months designing and building the tree. The cost of materials, which included wire, concrete and paint, along with room renovations, totaled $4,250.

“I was kind of un-prepared for the physical realities of this project,” Rob tells Upvoted. “I used Disney set-design as my inspiration. Even though it was difficult, I learned a huge amount along the way.”

The result was worth it: “[Lia’s] reaction was pretty awesome. She just looked at it a lot, climbed in it, hugged me over and over. She wanted her brother to sleep in there and he camped out in her room for two weeks after it was finished.”

Completing the project gave him another burst of motivation. “I’m going to build a pirate ship treehouse for my son this summer,” he says.

Um, can we come live with you?

“Not shown: my bandaged hands and arms,” Rob wrote.

Ready for painting!

“Just like painting my war-gaming miniatures, I started with a very dark coat, then gradually applied lighter colors,” the father explained.

The fairy door!

Adding lights to the branches. So magical.

The final result! “She’s so happy in her new room,” Rob wrote. Lucky girl.
