I found this play kitchen at an antique store here in town a couple of months ago. I had wanted to get a play kitchen for Emmy's 2nd birthday (coming up on the 27th!), but I did not want plastic, nor too big. Nor too much money. So when I found this I knew I had found It: handmade out of wood (by "real elves in Maine" as stamped on the back), quite petite, and only $25 - a steal. I bought it and this is what it originally looked like:
After sanding it, painting primer and several coats of paint, applying contact paper, buying cute cherry knobs on Etsy for $2.50, getting vinyl lettering made for free (by my friend), here is what it looks like now:
I'm totally excited about it. I know Emmy might not be super into it now, but I know that it is something she will use for years. (Miles knows about it and would "play" with it every time I got it down to work on it. ha) I'm probably more excited about it than she will be, but oh well. :)

Love it! It's sooo cute and there's so much love in it. She will cherish it for sure. Way better than plastic.

That is one of the best make-overs I have ever seen! Wow, it looks awesome. I can see why you are so excited about it!
DARLING!!! I absolutely love it! If you want to find another one and do the same thing and write Molly on it, that would be awesome! :0)
DARLING!!!!!! YOu do have a "MAGIC" touch. She'll LOVE it!!!!
Yes, I am still alive by the way. And....that is the cutest kitchen ever. I can't believe the transformation. It was like something you might see on one of those HGTV shows. She will love it.
However, I might call her and tell her about it.
