Materials: Malm chest with two drawers
Description: My husband transformed two Malm night stands destined for the dumpster into a modern, masculine play kitchen that boasts stainless steel appliances and a mosaic tile back splash.
One chest became the sink side with a dog bowl and discarded faucet. The top drawer was notched so that it could still function as storage.
The other side became a range with the addition of an oven door and black CD burners. The bottom drawer was cut down to create a warming drawer. The stainless steel effect was achieved with contact paper.
Last but not least, the back splash. We just used construction glue to attach the tile to a piece of plywood. After it was grouted, we attached it to the nighstands with brackets. The finishing touch was a Bygel rail and hooks from IKEA.

Gorgeous! Good work!
ReplyDeleteAn ingenious idea! Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteThis play kitchen looks better than my real one, lol!
ReplyDeleteBut what's particularly masculine about it? It seems to me to just be gender neutral(thank god!). I'm sure, boys and girls alike will love to play in it.

You're right Tina. I am so used to play kitchens being girlie I guess I considered gender neutral as more masculine. Thank you so much for your nice comment!
