Jane from Out of the Crayon Box has a vision for everything. 
SHUT UP!
Seriously, this is one of the most incredible ideas I have ever seen. Every mama of every small child will be clamoring every thrift store and searching street curbs for old cabinets to convert. Why oh why didn't I think of this? My son LOVED his little kitchen........Yes, that's right........my son, a boy played with a kitchen.......There was a little boy in our neighborhood who wasn't allowed to play with "girl" toys. I always find that interesting.........anyway his "girl toy" was one of those ugly plastic ones from Toys R Us........Of course Target came out with all their cute kitchen stuff after he was past the kitchen stage. I would have loved one of those.......but maybe not had I thought of converting a cabinet. Brilliant! 
and made the most adorable little monkey doll.
Don't hate her because her kitchen is hideous.........the poor dear and her husband just moved to LA last year and are renting........not a lot of options when you're renting. Did she let the less desirable apt decor get in her way........NO WAY! She took those lemons and made herself a tall glass of lemonade. This is her kitchen BEFORE.
AFTER: Isn't this a great idea? Another MisTreatment I'm sure The Nester had something to do with. 
Old fridge got you down? Why not wrap it? 
How about these baby hats? Cute? She made them from old shorts and sweat pants. Darling and what a great way to use old clothing.
Most people would pass this old wicker purse by...........but not Jane.....she saw past it's blemishes.
She had some fabric scraps to revive the ole girl. 
No saving here..........I just thought it was really cute. She made it.
I hope you all have your blogs posted on our new widget......I hope you all have the cute widget posted on your blog. Let me know.......I'll come look at it!
Off to soccer......

Thanks for featuring me!! The funny thing about the kitchen was that the boys at the b-day party *mobbed* the kitchen set. They literally pushed the birthday girl away to play with it first!
Wow! What a cool fridge! That play kitchen looks like something from the PB kids catalog! Wow.
Oh how adorable! This is creativity at its best.
Your sons future wife thanks you for letting him know his way around a kitchen. :)
Please stop by and enter my giveaway.

I alway say those boys could grow up to be the next great chef. And own his own restaurant.
Okay...I didn't say "shutup" but when I saw that pink kitchen...I thought "come ON"...amazing!

So I hate my self for not coming up with that kitchen idea a long time ago. I have been trying to find a smoking deal on a kitchen for my daughter I sware before the little dear was born. I mean honestly it couldn't have been simpler. As soon as I saw that all I could say was Shut UP!!! even with out reading that it was exactly what you said. I ramble I'm sorry I just really love it! Thank you for sharing.
TOO CUTE....I LOVE the kitchen!
Wow! She is unbelievably resourceful. I will have to check out her blog. Love that little kitchen. My boys have one and absolutely love it. They use it all the time, and I even managed to find them little blue dishes. They are gonna be great cooks for their future wives with all the practice they get!

SOOOOOOOOOO inspired. Too bad I'm at work! My next "search and beautify" mission will have to wait! Wish I still had little chickies to make a play kitchen for...teenagers not feeling it!
OK, LOVE the kitchen! What an incredible idea. We are planning to build a playhouse for our 4 granddaughters this summer and this idea will find its way into that plan. A W E S O M E! I am putting her on my favorites.
Wow, that kitchen IS pretty nifty. I really need to get my mind into a recycling mode. :D
That was one great post!
OHMYGOSH! I was just lamenting that my kids don't have the same sort of homecrafted kitchen cabinets to play with as my I did. To see that ADORABLE kitchen idea is to be INSPIRED!

Brilliant! I long for that wonderful inspiration. And, I'm all about reusing and repurposing! Thanks for sharing.
That kitchen is adorable! I had wanted to buy or make a wooden kitchen for my children, but Santa surprised us with a bright orange Dora kitchen. Santa has since been put on notice about buying large plastic neon furniture. Anyway, the featured blog looks great!
What a wonderful idea with making a kitchen.
My little boy loves kitchen things and I never once thought to do this.
