The final Reveal

About one year ago I came across this blog. This amazing woman repurposes old furniture into play kitchens. You can visit her 6 week detailed instructions here and donates them to charity. She does under a seriously small budget and re-uses already existing materials, very eco-friendly.

So after I came across her website I could NOT STOP thinking about starting my own! I looked at several pieces of furniture in thrift stores, craigslist, KSL, garage sales, etc but could not settle on the perfect piece of furniture until I saw it. A baby changing table. But not just any changing table. It had to have the side closet. After calling and missing, by minutes, several pieces that were under $10 I gave up for a while. Until I was on an anniversary trip with my hubby and my Jana, my SIL spotted one for me in her local listings. It had been up for months and very could have been sold already. So I texted the gal and waited for a response. It was still for sale and she lived, literally, down the street from where we were. So Jana and I drove over and bought it, and the couple kindly helped (struggled) us get it into our car. Tyler flipped out when he was how much room it took up. Luckily, Cecily was the only child with us otherwise the other two would have had to sit on the roof. It was more then I wanted to spend but it took so long to find it that I took it. It was $25.

$75 later I have this!

See my other blog for pictures and details about how I made it. Caution: it's really long. But that is to help others if they want to build their own!
