Remodeling your home is no easy task, but when it’s all said and done, you can truly enjoy the fruits of your labor. One dad on Reddit, though, may not get a ton of use out of the space that he recently made over.

You see, his house has a staircase to the basement and there was tons of space under it. But rather than using it for storage, TamboresCinco decided to turn it into an amazing play space for his children. With a 4-year-old, a 1-year-old, and a baby on the way, it was sure to get lots of use… just not from the man who made it all happen.
This was the space below the stairs. It had previously been used as a place to store junk the family accumulated.

Dad started the project by cutting a hole into the wall where the door to the playroom would go.
He brainstormed a rough outline of the “house’s” exterior.

Good job, Dad! We’re sure this space will be used for many years to come!

Even though he may not spend much time in the playroom, the dad admitted, “This is my favorite part of the house.”
