tv stand to play kitchen

From tv stand to play kitchen
I found this really sturdy tv stand and decided to make it into a play kitchen like i have seen done on pinterest.

looking at it I figured I could do that with a little imagination I could make it work so I started by making plans...
It took me a few different ideas before I seddled on this one I didn't want to make the whole middle area a oven because my kids were climbing in and out and I didn't want them thinking that climbing in the oven was fun so I added a divider with shelving.
I decided I could use all the wood from the unit (shelf inside) and needed a few scraps we had around the house for the oven door and divider.
Once I got the divider in I started painting.
I decided I wanted a Marble look on the top.
I made a post on marbling so you can check that out if you want to know how I did it.
next I began finishing touches painting in the oven, and the elements, making a tap and knobs and putting the doors on... it's a little more work than I had planned but it's looking good and I could never afford a nice little kitchen like this so it's worth it :)
I made the taps and knobs out of wood because I didn't know what else to use and I think it turned out well.


I think if I was to do this again I  will just paint the burners on instead of cutting wooden ones out.
I attached the knobs with a bolt and two nuts

 
The kids love it and have been enjoying playing with it.
