When Instructables user madhatter1138's daughters needed a new playhouse, their dad knew just where to turn for inspiration: Disney.
This inventive creator built his girls a playhouse modeled after Disneyland's "Jungle Cruise" attraction, designing every detail with thoughtful care.
He first assembled the playhouse's structure, complete with replica lookout balcony.
He painted the structure's studs a bright yellow, as they'd remain visible.
Once he added the playhouse's bevelled siding and painted it a familiar green hue, he got to work adorning the structure with all sorts of fabulously decorative details.
This builder made sure his daughters had a proper steering wheel and spyglass, to spot any lingering pirates who could be lurking right outside their grounds.
Their dad even designed a "Jungle Cruise" sign, further replicating his inspiration.
Through these saloon doors await all sorts of excitingly imaginative adventures.
He even hung a menu on the wall, in case future visitors found themselves completely famished.
After four months of diligent labor, this dad built his daughters the playhouse of their dreams.
With the last detail set in place, his daughters were free to explore and enjoy their new space and make it their own.
Now, every time they venture back into their backyard, daughters and Dad will each likely be reminded of the amazing Disney attraction that set this whole project in motion.
This DIY-savvy father drew inspiration from a Disney classic and designed his own masterpiece, sure to spark his daughters' wonderfully inventive imaginations for years to come.
