I got this nightstand for FREE this past summer and had been holding on to it not sure what to do with it.

Then I kept seeing pictures of play kitchens made from nightstands floating around "blog land" and my vision for this piece became quite clear.

My husband and I transformed it into a Kitchen just in time for our daughters 3rd birthday

Before (with the handles removed)

And after...

I found the spice rack in a pile of junk someone was throwing out and spray painted it a raspberry color.

The faucet was found at a thrift store for 2 bucks. 

I had the handles leftover from a previous project. 

The oven and faucet knobs were wooden craft feet that someone gave me and sprayed silver.

Old C.D.'s for the stove top.

The shutters are wooden heater/air vents that we found out Habitat ReStore for a total of 6 bucks.  My husband cut them down and hinged them. 

The sink is an old enamel pot with the handle cut off of it.

I made the pot holder and embellished a washcloth from a vintage pillowcase.

My husband re-did the top drawer and hinged it so it could be used as a oven.

The bottom drawer is perfect for storage.  

Over all this project cost us about $12.00 and has already brought hours of entertainment for our 3 year old and though I'm sure he will never admit it our 6 year old son loves it too!!
