INDOOR PLAY AREA

Here's a chance to win The Coolest parent of the year award.

To encourage his toddler son to switch over to a "big-kid bed," Eric Strong built the ultimate sleeping setup —complete with a secret clubhouse, color-changing lights and even a slide! Our inner children are totally jealous right now.

The most impressive part of the project, which Strong outlined on Youtube, is that the bed actually came together with three pieces of IKEA furniture: A loft bed, a storage piece and a small shelving unit. To ensure that the additional pieces matched, he purchased a second loft bed and used the parts to build the slide and clubhouse walls.
