Big Plans! Little Kitchen!

Sam's little play kitchen is coming along! This has been a very fun and easy DIY project so far. We modified an old kitchen cabinet, painted it and then installed some recycled plumbing hardware. I painted the pantry the same color as the countertop and the oven is a realistic dark grey color. The oven door has a plexiglass window to peak in to see what's cookin' on the oven rack which is actually a cookie cooling rack. It also has spinning oven knobs that have been spray painted silver to look like stainless steel (pictured below). The stovetop burner is a trivet attached to a wood disc, which is an old cutting board we had laying around ... So easy to make! This project has been very affordable as well. Here's the breakdown...
