The end of this project is something any child would have been lucky to have while getting older. Look at these amazing ideas and don’t forget to share this amazing project with your family and friends on Facebook! This smart father started by turning a secondhand bunk bed into an L-shaped bunk. His daughter’s bed would sit perpendicularly under the new bunk. Then he started the process of making the L-shaped bunk bed to look like a tree house. He was able to give the tree house a rustic look by using untreated cypress wood. To remove any splinters, a large amount of sanding was involved. After that, he moved on to the tree because every tree house needs a tree. He made fake tree of layers upon layers of polystyrene. Then the polystyrene base was coated with a paper clay skin. The final result was very cool and realistic. He painted the tree with a couple of layers of brown latex paint. He dipped into some darker brown acrylics to add depth in order to create the look of bark. After putting up the tree, he realized he needed to add something more to the project. He chose something simple – leaves. From large sheets of polystyrene he cut out big canopy shapes and painted each layer a separate shade of green. He also added the ceiling fan into the project. Also, he couldn’t resist adding a little of light into the tree house. He installed led strips that create the illusion of a starry, pretty night. His daughter will have lots of adventures in her new tree house bunk bed. Don’t forget to share this amazing project with your friends and families on Facebook!

A true hero and loving mother of 11, Brenda Lee Marquez McCool was laid to rest on Monday at the age of 49 after putting her son’s life before her own. In the highest display of maternal love and protection, McCool shielded her son from the onslaught of bullets that were fired at the Pulse nightclub in the recent Orlando tragedy. McCool was a true fighter, having survived cancer twice before saving her son by taking two bullets that would end her life. Her son, 21-year-old Isaiah Henderson, paid tribute to his mother with a touching eulogy during her funeral at the First United Methodist Church of Orlando on Monday. About 200 people were present, and a video of the event was broadcast by NBC news. Henderson spoke of the gratitude he felt towards his mother and the pain of her loss. He began with words that spoke volumes of McCool’s life. “I just want to say my mom was the best mom out there.” Henderson then broke down as he said, “I never thought her life would be ended right in front of my eyes.” His uncle and brother had to rush to him and support him. McCool’s love and acceptance towards everyone she encountered left a lasting impact on Henderson’s life. “Everyone who knew my mom knew that she was the mom everyone wanted.” he said. “She loved everyone deeply no matter what.” Henderson revealed that he hadn’t stopped crying since the tragedy. Take a look at this video Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer declared a national day of mourning for McCool, and one of her other sons, Farrell Marshall, sought donations for her family but putting up a GoFundMe page. The service ended with her family honoring her life and sacrifices by releasing 49 white balloons into the sky. Do share this story around. Feature Image Source: Inside Edition
