Mali-mo from Norway does a few hacks on an her Ivar and out comes a dreamy play kitchen.
"I started with an Ivar box and ended up with a little fairytale-kitchen for my 2 year old daughter. I cut out the sides and the door for the stove in some cheap pine-boards. The knobs are some old leftovers, and the stove door has a Lindsdal from Ikea as a door handle. I cut out a circle for the basin, an ordinary bowl from a hardware store. The curtain is sewed from some leftovers, and the paint is also mixed from various almost-empty tins. I am absolutely no carpenter, but I have done all of this by myself and it wasn't really that difficult, and it almost didn't cost me anything! A very easy project-and my daughter absolutely loves it!"

ReplyDeleteI can't wrap my head around where #1 is in pic #2. What is which part? Huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing project! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteit's the square frame, horizontally. the additional side and back panels are cut out from pine wood.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. And certainly full of more warmth than the actual IKEA play kitchen, which is really cheap and plasticy.
ReplyDeleteReally charming!
