Bon Appetit!

As promised, I've put some pictures up of the finished play kitchen, and I think it's pretty cute if I do say so myself! It actually didn't take that long to paint (about 3 coats of semi-gloss acrylic paint) and once the paint had dried we really had fun putting the finishing touches on it. For now I've put the break-able crockery up on the higher shelf away from Ollie the destructo-toddler, but he's figured out how to climb up on the little chairs and reach up there... so I think we might need to find a safer spot for them!
The kids have had a great time playing with it, it's just perfect now the weather's getting so chilly we can have picnics and cook-ups in the warmth of the house!
And just in case anyone is wondering:
- the colourful crockery is from Ikea
- the red polka dot tea set was bought from Seed (available from most toyshops these days)
- the budget tin was a flea market buy
- the mini-bunting made by moi, and will be available in the shop if people are interested
- the large handles on the cupboard and oven are from Ikea
- the round stove dials are cupboard handles from Bunnings Warehouse
- wool felt play food made from the wool felt we picked up on our recent trip to Warburton
And the rest are various bits and pieces picked up from op-shops or markets.
Bon Appetit!










Oh and speaking of kitchens, have I shown you this cute apron, oven mitts and bag (with cookie shape cutters and rolling pin) that I made for my neice's 3rd birthday?
