How to Make Your Own Play Kitchen

I have been dying to make a play kitchen for over a year now. I even turned down a brand-new one from my mum as I was convinced that home made would be better. About four months ago, I bought this peculiar piece of furniture from an op-shop.  It has no front or back. You can walk all the way around it and it has cupboards on both sides that go all the way through. You really have to get creative with what you've got.

During the weeks leading up to Christmas, we slowly assembled our masterpiece and I was right, home made is better.

We had so much fun creating this Christmas surprise. We began by moving the hinges on one of the cupboards from the side to the bottom and it became an an oven with a stove top. We turned the other side into a fridge and sink with some bench space. Here's a brief illustration of how it all came together.

We were so exited to reveal Miss 2's new kitchen to her, we could barely contain ourselves. It has already paid for itself in the time she has spent playing house. She is making me some 'tea' as we speak.
