This DIY backyard playground from a talented family in Sweden is truly inspired. It shows you just what a little DIY magic (and a lot of cans of spray paint!) can do to create a one-of-a-kind and imaginative outdoor space for kids. The neighbor kids will come knocking!
Isabella Waldenmaier and her family created this amazing space for daughter Ella. What a lucky little gal! Be sure to hop over to Isabella's blog, Rusta Upp, to see "before" photos here and here. The transformation is pretty incredible.
Thank-you Isabella for sharing this truly inspired outdoor space!

Love it! The colorful stumps are so playful
Did you buy or make that slide? I love it!
Wow! *I* want to play there!!
I seriously need to make some of this stuff for my toddler son. He would love the swing and the colourful wood stumps.
a tire for a sand box. *smacks head* why did i not think of that? thanks!
One of my earliest memories is of the tractor tire sandbox in my backyard.
We built a great play yard for our daughters, and when our kids were through with it, a neighbor who had younger ones came over and pulled everything out and replaced it in his yard.
My husband was so glad not to have to remove it all himself...
i looooove the painted tree stumps!
Anyone have any information on the orange dog in the background? I thought it might be Ikea but have not had any luck finding it on the interwebs... thank you!
the dog´s namn is puppy (from maggis) // Isa rustaupp
Really nice that you liked Ella's playground thanks for all the nice comments starters. hug / / isabella
ps yes we have built the swing of a chair and screw it on an ordinary tree swing. :)
Coolest backyard ever! Great job!!
