Many little girls (and some little boys) dream of living in a pink princess castle. One woodcrafting, handy dad made his daughter’s dream come true by building her the coolest bed frame ever. Complete with tall towers, a lofted mattress, and a secret compartment for toys and books, even most adults would be seriously jealous of this kid’s setup. Check out the step-by-step guide to princess perfection below.

Even as a grown adult, I wish I had a bed frame like this. This dad deserves the father of the year award, complete with his own tiara.
