Play Kitchen Made From An Old Entertainment Center

You may remember this play kitchen I made for my playroom.  It took me forever, but I thought with one under my belt, another would be a piece of cake.  Wrong!  There are so many little details to these kitchens!  Just gathering supplies is a project.  Well, lesson learned.  This will be my last kitchen, made for another lucky little girl to receive on Christmas morning.  Ho Ho Ho

 This is how it all started.  I have another one in my garage. Anyone that wants it can have for free!  I won't be needing it. :)  Update...the other entertainment center is gone!  Can't wait to see her new creation!

If you should decide to make such a kitchen, just know it's not cheap.  I spent a lot of time bargain shopping and still spent $157.  But, in the end you will have a high quality kitchen, custom made to your liking, and much more durable than the plastic kitchens you can buy for much cheaper. 

Here is a list of expenses:
Entertainment center:  $20
Wood for doors:  $25
Paint, primer and polycrylic:  $35
Hinges: $15
Knobs/Handles:  $10
Dog Dish: $7
Faucet:  $15
Shelf/Clock/Curtain Rod:  $7
Plexi-glass:  $5
Brackets to attach microwave:  $6
Magnetic door catches:  $7
Tape: $5

Total: $157

If anyone has any questions about making one of these babies, please email me.  I would be happy to help in any way I can.
