DIY Kids Play Kitchen

We found an old oak entertainment center from St. Vincent de Paul (Goodwill) and re-purposed it to serve as a play kitchen to go in our kids playroom. 

BEFORE

  Once we got the unit home, we removed all doors and hardware. We then sanded it down with 60 grit sandpaper and  finished with 120 grit. A few coats of our favorite white paint went on next and some metallic spray paint for the "fridge- oven" section. After everything dried we used a jig saw to cut the holes for the sink and faucet. We used a metal mixing bowl from goodwill and bought a faucet at Lowe's. Finally, we put the doors back on and reconfigured the bottom door to open like an oven. For the final touches we painted a cook-top next to the sink and added our favorite hardware to the doors. Our  total project cost was approx. $100. Beats $200+ for a plastic play kitchen.
