Let’s start with the kitchen. It is amazing! The fridge, oven, microwave, and sink/dishwasher are each four separate pieces. They were made out of a recycled entertainment center, bifold doors, and other recycled materials.
Oops blurry picture! The playhouse is in a nice shady area so there wasn’t a ton of light. I have to show the inside of the appliances, though! The dishwasher has buttons to push on the outside and baskets to pull out on the inside. They also have a real sink and lots of storage underneath, behind the old entertainment center doors that were cut down.
The oven opens as well and there is already a mess of pans inside. Both the oven and dishwasher have straps to stop them from opening all the way because my 2-year-old was crawling on top of them right from the start!
This is genius! The burners are from the bottoms of cans! There are also some salvaged knobs for them to twist and turn.
The refrigerator is great! The frame is made from recycled pieces of an old entertain,net center and the doors are from old bifold doors.
I love the water dispenser! It is made from an old baby wipe container! How smart! It also has lever for the water and it can be pushed in…
…or it can stay out.
Let’s move on to the little workshop. My 2-year-old might end up a master craftsman like his grandpa if he starts out this early!
He has plenty of cabinet, drawer, and hanging space for tools.
He even has his own drill press! He can spin the piece on the side and move the red button on the front.
He has a clamp…
…that can go in and out.
Aren’t these just the luckiest kids ever!?!
I wish I would have grabbed a shot after we added some more of the toys – we hung an apron in the kitchen and another in the workshop and added a couple more touches. My husband did the floor and still needs to add an orange base. Grandpa is building a miter saw, and a table with storage to place under this window.
I’m so excited for how it has turned out and can’t wait to see the finished product! You’ll probably find me at these fantastic parties!
Amazing! That’s nicer than my real kitchen.. haha!
Haha! Nicer than mine too! 🙂
Wow that’s really cool. I love it, your kids are lucky 🙂

Oh my word! Your kids are lucky. What good grandparents. It’s really the coolest kitchen I’ve seen. I can’t believe they did all that. Amazing! Jodi @ http://www.meaningfulmama.com
Thank you! My parents are pretty amazing – I’ll probably feature plenty of my day’s projects, but this is the most fun!
This is awesome. Your kids are so lucky! I think even *I* would like to play in this little kitchen. We’ll be featuring this at Someday Crafts tomorrow, so stop by if you have a minute 🙂
Thanks so much!!! I’ll definitely check it out – of course I check your blog daily anyway. I love it!
This is AWESOME!! You are so blessed to have parents that will put that much time into making something for your kids!
They are pretty fantastic! And talented!

This is the best kitchen and workshop I have ever seen! Your parents are so talented & skilled! You are lucky!
That is an amazing handmade play kitchen and work bench. Love it! Pinned.
Holy cow, this is amazing! I’ve been obsessed with play kitchens lately, and I LOVE this one. Truly awesome!
That workbench is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever!!! And I love that kitchen! Great job!
I especially love the water dispenser in the fridge door. How did you make it with the working lever that pushes in and out? I would love to do something like that, but not sure how to make it work. Cute kitchen and workbench.
Would you be willing
To post some instructions on how to do the ice maker water dispenser on the fridge. I am starting to make a kitchen for my girls and really want the ice dispenser as they are facinated w the real thing. I have already made play ice cubes 😀
absolutely, Angela! That’s a great idea! I will call my Dad now and get some info for you! Maybe it’s time to re-do this post after so many years too. Thanks!!
That is awesome . I’m currently in the middle of finishing a play kitchen setup for my 3 year old niece and 1 year old nephew . Would you mind explaining the fridge and how you did the water dispense please ? Thanks -amanda from San Jose, ca
Hi Amanda,
Thant is great! I’m sure they will be so thrilled! Our water dispenser is made from the bottom of a pack of diaper wipes. 😀 My dad hand-crafted the handle and just placed a closure for cabinet doors – the kind with a magnet and spring. Y’know the ones where you push on the door to release it? Even just adding a spring behind the lever would give the same effect.
Best of luck with your project! If possible, please share a photo with me when it’s finished!!
