So since the last post about the kitchen I still haven't done anything... Christmas is just a few days away and I have changed my last minute plans to this...
-a baking rack in the oven
-still have a curtain
-I'll make the apron and mitten for her birthday that comes in a few months
-and labels in those little metal things below each cubby hole... dishes, oven, food, and pots & pans
and there is also part of the kitchen I have not taken a picture of yet... I have the cute wooden mock shutters that open up to a chalk board and pin board that will hang above the kitchen:) It is a cream color and distressed too! Super cute! I'll show you a picture when it is all set up in her room after Christmas!
Because as a mom of two, almost three, I really need time for myself and what better way to spend it than to create with my own two hands. My crafts/projects will range from modge podge, vinyl decor or shirts, sewing and tutorials(my personal favorite), and painting small items to very large items. I am not afraid to try anything but I do have a limited work space and area to decorate until we are able to get a home of our own.

Toddler Kitchen...sneak peak
So I kind of got ahead of myself on this one, I didn't take pictures of every step like I had planned but it still isn't QUITE finished. I need to make the curtain, put an oven shelf in, make an apron and a mitten, and repaint the muffin tins, then I'M DONE!
Here are just a few pictures:
Here are the steps kind of anyway:
-cut out holes for sink and faucet
I spent quite a bit of time getting those holes cut out because I really didn't have the right tools to use, a dremmel tool isn't best but a table saw isn't great either for making a hole but the two together, I eventually got them done, like 2-3 hours later.
-cut a door for the oven from scrap wood
-wiped everything down
-did like 4 coats of primer(wish I was using primer in a spray can instead of with a roller, would have been much easier but I had to do this project indoors since I live in winter wonderland and don't have a garage)
-then I did like 4 coats of pink paint
-sanded a bit
-antiqued a bit
-put the sink in and the faucet in
-put hinges on the door and a handle
-have tension rod ready for the curtain
- put some vinyl cutouts in the sink and on the oven door(my daughter requested not only a pink kitchen but a pink sink too for Christmas, I have warned her that I don't know if Santa can do both)
-cut out brown vinyl circles for stove top-may change that a bit, still not sure.
NEXT I'll sew the apron, mitten, and curtain
-repaint the muffin tins too.
