Aw, for cute! DIY Kids Play Kitchen
Our nephew is just about to turn one! It's been fun seeing him grown and explore his world over the last year. He just took his first steps a few weeks ago and has been walking his little unbalanced Frankenstein walk all over the house! He also loves to take out every toy from his bin and place it on the floor (he's going to be organized!). That's probably why he likes the plastic play kitchen at his grandparents house so much. It's filled with fake veggies and other foods that he can take out and organize to his little heart's content.
Because our Nephew enjoys his kitchen so much, we gave a special "awww" when we came across this DIY play kitchen online.
At first we though this was a one-time super inventive creation but they had a link to their inspiration. That link had a link to it's inspiration, and that link had a link to it's inspiration! We felt like Alice falling down a rabbit hole. Who knew there were so many people making their own play kitchens?!?
We found some plans to build your own on Ana-White's website. If you haven't checked out her site, do it! There are tons of tutorials on how to start building your own furniture, even easy ones anyone can start with!
We totally want to build one but we don't have any buns in the over (is that a kitchen pun?) and our nephew is still a year too short for this option design. If anyone wants to fund us for parts though we could be your free labor!

We made one for our daughter – repurposed from an old shop display unit. It is still not yet complete – missing it's black spotted curtain and tap as I can't find the right one anywhere. I love the blackboard splash back as her kitchen get's a new look whenever we feel like prettying it up. I also love the cabinets underneath which store all of her toys. You can see it at the bottom of my post here – http://hereicomemylittleblackdress.blogspot.com/2010/10/life-live-it.html

So cute! I have nieces and a nephew who'd love one of these too. I'd have to make 2. One for them. One for me! haha

Hi there
I saw that you credited me with that last kitchen. While, I LOVE IT, and it was the inspiration for the two play kitchens I made myself (also, on my blog) the original blog post and the creator of that adorable kitchen you featured can actually be found here: http://vintagesongbird.blogspot.com/2009/12/diy-is-fun.html
Thanks!
