Play Kitchen Out of TV Stand

I saw a bunch of kitchens out of TV stands last summer on Pinterest.  I knew I wanted to make one for Wynn. Obviously this was before I had a blog to share it on, so I thought I'd share it now.  I purchased this TV stand for $5 from someone only a few minutes away. 
 I grabbed some returned paint at Home Depot for $5 bucks and a bowl from Big Lots for $2.  Rob cut a hole in the top to make space for the bowl, which became the sink. I grabbed some coordinating fabric on clearance from Jo-Ann's to have my mom make a curtain for the front.
 I used some other leftover paint from Home Depot to paint on some burners. I got the knobs from Home Depot as well. I used a faucet that I bought on clearance at Lowe's a few years back to place on top.
 With a curtain rod I attached the cute curtain my mom made for the front of the kitchen.  I left the bottom open so that all the food could go in a basket below.
 When my boss heard about this project he bought Wynn all the kitchen accessories at Ikea he could find. Including these cute pans for her stove.
I painted the sides of the stand with green chalkboard paint to go along with the green in the fabric and the sink.  The basket below contains all the play food that she drags around the house.


The entire project cost around $75 and that was because of the quart of chalkboard paint. It was the most costly item in the project.  She loves her kitchen and plays it with all the time. I know I could have bought a play kitchen for the same price at Target or somewhere, but I like how this is unique.
