Picture is very blurry, but I get the idea. What kind of insulation are you using, how is it affixed to the roof and where did you get it. Also, any particular type of carpet and how is it affixed to the insulation?

many moons ago, I got a piece of material at a fabric shop, took to guy I knew who made boat covers, and had him put some padding in it, and then bound the edges. I was only like 20 then so I had some really off the wall freaky pattern but it looked really cool. That white inside is hideous....they should have least painted it black

I was actually thinking of taking the top off and seeing if it could be dura-lined a darker grey color on the inside to 1 help in the insalation and 2 help not show scratches and dirty hands from the kid unlike the almost white color.

carpetting/padding is a neat touch, but if anything, i'll paint it or have it rhinolined a charcoal color someday... i think its white to help brighten it up inside... all black might be a bit depressing... just my .02
