A Play Kitchen Renovation – Before and After
Before:
Purchased for $5 at Salvation Army – dirty, but otherwise in usable shape!
During:
After:
A coat of paint, a sweet curtain, some new knobs, painted
burners and sink and an upside down coat hook – brand new!
Kitchen: $5 at Salvation Army
Knobs: $0.77 each = $6.16
Hinges: $1.27
Fabric: already had, leftover from their window project
Paint: already had, white was bought in the “mess up” section at Lowe’s to paint their dressers, blue for the sink/water was part of the Glidden free can of paint giveaway a few months ago that we used to paint the bathroom
Faucet: $5.50 in the closet section at Lowe’s. Kind of didn’t want to pay that much, but I sucked it up:)
Total Cost: $17.93

that is a great job!! so cute and perfect!
Great job! That really does look like new.
Gorgeous!!!
that is great. good job.
FANTASTIC!!!! Hours of playtime fun!
I came over from Steady Mom’s 30 min blog challenge and just had to comment – this turned out amazing! Gives me some confidence not to pass by the next second-hand deal I see because of the work involved … you’ve proven it is worth it.
I bet your little chef is thrilled
What a beautiful makeover! I have intense interest in play kitchens, because my son loves to cook, and I made one for him based on some inspiration from Apartment Therapy. It cost a lot more than $17.93 though – more power to you (and the cooks).
How cute! & so much more original than the plastic ones you can buy at Wal-mart (which is what my kids have!)
You did an AMAZING job!!! Your children must be loving this.
Oh I love it!! I have been eyeing a $100 wooden one. Now I will keep my eye out for something like this instead. Great, great work!
That is a great job – love it!!! You make it look so easy, it is beautifully done!!! Have a good day!
This is fantastic

Wonderful! I love the fabric!
Lillian~this is fabulous! And I’m adoring this blog~I didn’t know about it until right now. Looking forward to following along….
Have a great weekend,

That’s beautiful! Great job!
So cute! You did a great job! I love the fabric you chose!
This is really beautiful. I’m inspired!
SO cute!! I love the lemon fabric. I have some and plan on making a skirt for my little girl.
Our play kitchen gets a lot of play. I’ve had fun making play food out of felt. There are some fantastic patterns on Etsy.
This is really beautiful! Having just spent $300 on one from Pottery Barn Kids, this one is even more impressive to me!
where did you find the knobs…love this kitchen!
