We’ve been having a long, sad month here in the Craftsman house. Everyone needed a distraction and after a couple days of using Pinterest as my distraction, I gave myself a kick in the pants and started planning out my next project. A project makes everybody feel better right?
Kai is getting a play kitchen. She loved her cousin’s and she been hiding her blocks in cabinets every chance she gets. I think I’ve looked at every play kitchen on the market and most of the DIY ones, too. I’ve been picking out features I like and going back and forth on paint colors. I even bought a Kreg Jig to do a little fancy cabinetry work.
We’re headed out to buy wood Sunday, and I can’t wait. I suspect you’ll all be hearing a lot about this kitchen the next couple weeks. In the mean time, what are your favorite play kitchen features?

Fun! I like having a cabinet with an opaque door to store the food and pots and pans. We purchased a fridge for this purpose because we needed more space to store kitchen accessories.
I hope the project goes well, and that happy days are ahead of you.

The fridge is actually the first piece we are making, just to get in the swing of the project, since it had the easiest plan!

I love the idea of building a kitchen! I love the ones that are made out of old entertainment centers! Or nightstands, I think I’ve seen! Having a little stove/oven, along with a fridge and sink would be nice! Or a cabinet to store pots and pans!

The plan right now is to build it out of some formaldehyde free Birch plywood that my dad had laying around from another project, but I love some of the entertainment center remixes I’ve seen.

My kids got a play kitchen for Christmas, but it doesn’t have a fridge. Where is their play food supposed to go!? (Their answer to that is ‘on the floor,’ of course). But I want to try to make a fridge for it sometime soon.
