Q: Will you share more about the little play kitchen
that your girls got for Christmas?
How did you make it?

A: Of course!
We had so much fun putting it together.
And we've all had a blast playing with it.
Can you believe it came from this old nightstand?!

I gave it some new paint.
With stripes on the sides!
Screwed in some thrifted shelves
for a bit more counter space.
I painted the shelves and mod podged scrap paper on the top.

The Hunk & his Dad rigged up the counter top.
A hole was cut to fit this thrifted bowl for the sink.
Which is great for washing your giraffes & elephants, apparently.
The faucet is an upside down wooden letter "J."
The knobs are all wooden and can spin.
They came from the craft store.
I painted them with metallic spray paint.
The burners are old scratched CDs.
Spray painted black.
Glued on with E6000.

Thrifted chalkboard.

Glued with E6000.
That glue is the best!
I sewed simple curtains for the
top & bottom spaces.
My one splurge - cute fabric.
The top space is used for an oven.
The curtain is just stapled into the underside.

The oven racks are from the dollar store.
The tray & muffin tin are from DI.
The felt food is such fun to make!

The bottom curtain is secured with a tension rod.
All the dishes and stuff are thrifted/collected.

I got lots of ideas & help from Pinterest.
Looked at lots of different blogs for tips.
There are some crazy amazing play kitchen transformations out there!
I used these cupcake and cookie tutorials.
I can't believe Santa took all the credit for this!

ReplyDeleteAnd any time you think otherwise, come to your blog and read about yourself! You are wonder woman!
Bree, I am seriously impressed at all you are able to accomplish on such a limited budget! You are amazingly creative, resourceful, and BEAUTIFUL! I love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you did a post on this! It is darling and the details are amazing! I never would have though that the faucet was an upside down "J". That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started seeing this idea around the craft blogs I was suddenly sad that my girls have grown out of the play kitchens :( It's SO cute! Having them cook real food in the real kitchen is helpful for getting them fed, but messy and more stressful (gas range, anyone?!) :P I love how this turned out! The play kitchen my girls grew up with came from my brother where it had gone through all 5 of their kids and was worn out when they got it. I spent Christmas Eve scrubbing it clean and sprucing it up (this was back in our grinding poverty days which I am very glad to be beyond). This is so much cuter and totally worth the minimal cost and time/energy! You did an awesome job.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I just got rid of our play kitchen this Christmas. I bought it for $40 off Craigslist 4 years ago and sold it for $100! My kids were just done with it and we needed the space but sometimes I wish we still had it. Yours is great AND small!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it!!!! So much fun!!!
