If you have been thinking about making a DIY play kitchen of your very own, I will be doing a series over the next couple weeks breaking down each step for you.

  3. I was just reading all your steps and I really appreciate your advice. I found an entertainment center on the side of the road and knew it was time to take the leap into making my daughter a kitchen set. This is all new to me, so I will be referring to your site a lot. Thanks again for sharing!
