I found this great Thrift store in the East Valley area. It’s called 360 Thrift. I really needed a little play table for baby girl. It would be perfect therapy for her to stand and play at a table to help strengthen her legs. Not only did I find one for only $1.99 I also found this gem…
Supplies:
Nightstand (Or whatever else you can modify)
Drill
scrap wood
paint
Stove knobs
Oven drawer pull
Cameo
Saw
Ruler
First step was to paint this awesome piece I found. I almost went with a teal for a retro kind of feel, but this yellow makes me happy. I used Deco Art American Chalk Paint in Delicate.
I got it at Hobby Lobby. Next I measured what size I wanted my oven door. The bottom area of the night stand has a lip. It made the hinge part kind of tricky. I decided to get hinge that closed into itself, not just your basic hinge. I also needed to install a magnet to help hold it closed. There was another hinge option that would have helped the oven open fully but I wasn’t sure my 1 year old would be strong enough to open that one. I had to add a piece of wood to help the hinge lay flat. I also didn’t use the screws that came with the hinge. I used smaller ones for the door. And larger ones to secure it to the base of the night stand.
You can see here my hinge and magnet placement. Add you drawer pull to your oven door. I had to drill holes in first before I was able to get my screws in the wood.
Lastly I added some adorable knobs from Hobby Lobby. The pink knobs are too cute. And I am thinking I want to make some pink/yellow dish towels for her new kitchen. I might even add some hooks on the side. I just LOVE how it turned out….
