How To Build A Play Kitchen

March 1, 2011 by dailygnome 8 Comments

Last Christmas we searched around for a play kitchen for Hadley and not finding one we liked (under $200) Jason set out to make one himself. The entire project came in under $25.

Start with an end table or nightstand picked up at your local thrift shop or yard sale. We found this one at Goodwill for around $10:

We also found a set of coasters perfect for burners and a stainless steel bowl for the sink. The knobs we already had on hand. At The Rebuilding Center we picked up the oven handle along with a faucet.

Jason spray painted it, cut out a hole for the sink, and attached the coasters and knobs.  For the oven door he connected the fronts of the two bottom drawers and attached hinges to the bottom:

Jason finished it over the weekend and Hadley’s been cooking up a storm:

    This is darling! What an adorable idea! It's so much cuter (and not to mention cheaper) than anything I've seen in a store. And it's one of a kind! I stumbled upon your blog and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the oven inspiration! ~Lisa

    Hadley took such care to use the hot pad. And she wanted to make sure her momma got a really good taste. We better get out there and pick lots of blueberries since that seems to be Hadley's favorite ingredient. 🙂
    Here's to hours of fun! Thanks for sharing these moments.
