UPDATED PHOTOS 9/4/2008
I am pleased to inform you that the Magic Tree House room is complete.
We want to say a special thank you to our client Deborah who had a big part in the overall direction of the project (it helps to have a client with a great eye for design, color, and space). We hope to do more work with her in the future. THANKS DEBORAH!!
The room now has a swing and a climbing rope for the kids (pulls in the overall look)
The armoire quickly became a large focus element within the room – including with it a fun element for the kids (the library ladder). The armoire was designed to fit within the overall look of the room and was painted with the same techniques used on the floor armoire below the treehouse. The standing armoire was also wired for the families TV in order to make a clean look. Size of the armoire comes out to almost 11 feet by 9 feet (BIG!)
The rope detail at the top of the ladder and the drybrushing on all the hardware was added in order to pull in elements from the treehouse (on the other side of the room).
Other details of the armoire…The lock is so vintage-looking!
multiple doors and drawers.
Yes, that’s a flat screen TV in the middle. The TV makes this room a great location for a quiet night of movies, or exciting Wii competitions for the entire family. You can store your favorite DVDs and Wii games in any of the drawers. Have your pick.
Let’s take a look at the other side of the room.
Note the new vegetable signs we added. Don’t they make that corner much more fun than it used to be?
Looking down from the tree house. The “vegetable buckets” are great containers for crayons, scissors and what not.
The best part is, once the kids are done with drawing, you can just lift the table up and it becomes a magnetic chalk board. A great place to proudly display the children’s artwork. (our client Deborah found a great recipe online for mixing our own chalkboard paint in order to match the sky blue – it worked great) It took 7 coats of magnetic paint and 3 coats of chalkboard blue —- YIKES!
O, and folding the table up is not the only way to create extra space, here’s all the storage space you get.
The inside of the drawers are carpeted, so delicate things are welcomed 
(same carpet as in the treehouse floor)
Older photos…
We will be updating on this project (for the last time) very soon. Please keep checking our blog.
It’s beautiful and I’m sure the workmanship, from what I can see in the photos, is superior. Problem as I see it though, is when your little one is sick or scared or just needs a story. You can’t easily sit by the side of the bed and work that parental magic – or park a pail there for him/her to “shoot the bird” when their tummy is upset.
wow! this is sooooooooooooo amazing!! I am loving it and it’s such a wonderful play area
it’s so imaginative, i love the tree trunk underneath the treehouse and the tree in the middle of the room with the tree canopy painted on the ceiling. so cute 
Wow I wish I could have had a house like that as a kid
[...] Kids love treehouses. But sometimes a kid can’t have one because of small back yards, an overly worried helicopter parent, or a dad who simply doesn’t have the construction gene in his DNA. Well, there’s not much that can be done about the last one, except whipping out the checkbook and hiring a contractor, but even the most hovering parent would be impressed by this indoor treehouse bedroom designed and built by the gang at KidTropolis.

pfft you can’t outgrow a treehouse!!! i had a loft bed that height well through college and even after… you never outgrow a room as cool as that.
Wow, this is great work. A shame that we have just decorated the rooms of our boys….
i want one!
Hello!!!
Your work is incredible! Gorgeous! Fun! Bless you!
I’m blogging you!
That looks wonderful, congratulations!
I would have loved such room when I was a kid
This is soo beautiful and amazing! I’m totally in love with this treehouse! =)
I would love to see close-ups of the window. It is hard to see what is on the window.
Can you also take pictures of the other side of the room? I would like to see the entrance.
Great Job. Keep up the good work.
it’s wonderful, my congratulations! i’m going to “steal” some ideas and rearrange my baby’s room;)
good job
I think we all tripped when we saw this! AWESOME!!!!
I would just like to know, how long did it take ?? and how much $$??
OMG!! This is absolutely the COOLEST room ever!!!
I’m an interior designer in Singapore. My wife’s carrying our 1st baby (a BOY!!) and we are madly researching for ideas for our 1st nursery.
Chanced upon your site only 2 days ago and immediately bookmarked it! We simply love your site and this room is my FAVOURITE!
I also have a blog @ http://www.amatteroftayzt.blogspot.com. May I have your permission to post pics of this room? Would really appreciate it.
Thanks a whole bunch for inspiring us! Please keep up the good work!
wow, nice
This is FANTASTIC! I just stumbled upon your blog while searching for ideas for our playroom make-over. We are ctually doing a big kid one and alittle guy playroom and I LOVE this idea
How did you make the trees in the center of the room? What material are the tree trunks made from?
The tree interior framework is a combination of framing and ribs with chicken wire mesh overtop. The mesh is then covered with layers of a product called DesignCast 66 – a sculpting product that can be used inside or outside (very strong stuff)
Would you share the paint color names? The green for the grass and tree canopy is very nice and I would like to match it.
I really like this room! It gives me new breath of inspiration!
Matt – we had the same thought as you. We ended up putting 2 locks high out of the reach of children (one of which is a safety the stays locked until about 2 feet off the wall) – the table also has spring loaded hinges that keep it from dropping fast. Thanks for taking a look.
Absolut amazing!!! Congratulations!
ohhh how great it must be, being a child in such a room – linke alice in wonderland – i love it so much
This looks so good. My son has a loft in his room and now that he is getting older we plan on utilizing it. Many great ideas in this project.
Mom of a 4yr old.
This is the cutest room I’ve ever seen in my life. Love it!! Great job.
