Boo's play kitchen has been a slow burner. It started out as a 'top of the wardrobe cupboard' which we brought to Canada from the UK, only to find it redundant due to the 'closet thing' they have here. I made some cork hob rings for it. Last Summer Grandad fitted a door and a removable shelf to make an oven, as well as some turnable dials (recycled parts from a clock!). Then, last weekend, Dadda Boo created a sink, using a metal mixing bowl I picked up at 'Loonie Plus' and a 'reuse' tap fitting from one of our bathrooms after one of the taps broke. It's such a 'waste not' project, I love it, and a whole lot less cash was required than to buy a wooden play kitchen, which don't come cheap.
This project ain't finished yet. Unfortunately there is no second door for the other side (we think we burnt it!?!), so I'm thinking of putting a little curtain across. We are also in need of some little hooks for all the little utensils/kitchen towel etc. But it can definitely be called a kitchen now, and for that I am most pleased.
