We've seen your marvelous play kitchens made from pretty much everything under the sun (Ikea components, cabinets and cardboard boxes) so we'd love to show you this pretty one made from an outdated entertainment center.
Ta da! Brenda of HeyDay Living bought this entertainment center for $30 on Craigslist which is a good place to look. You might also try the Salvation Army, Goodwill and garage sales. Decor-wise behemoth entertainment centers are increasingly less popular, but, as you can see, they are really well suited to becoming play kitchens.
Of course it's the little touches that make these play kitchens so sweet and Brenda's is no exception. She kitted hers out with inexpensive finds mostly from the craft store and dollar store to add realistic touches. Head over to her blog HeyDay Living for more photos and details about the different accessories and components. Her daughter Reese received the play kitchen for Christmas and Brenda reports that she happily plays with it every day.
Thanks Brenda!

This is adorable! What a great idea.
I saw four of these entertainment centers (exactly) on CL the other day. One was free! If only I had room...
That is absolutely amazing! Now I want to try something like this! What a fantastic idea. http://livingcheapandhappy.blogspot.com
Adorable!
What a great upcycle!
I don't even have kids and I want to do a entertainment to play kitchen transformation.
Although, I can image the puzzled look people will give me when they see I have a play kitchen.
Great idea!
i don't have kids either, applebomb, but my parents have an entertainment center just like this that they aren't using anymore, and i'm about to call them and ask them to hold on to for a few more years until my husband and i are ready!
So beautiful. Whether It was made for kids. I like to cooking using this kitchen stoves. I also like to make something interesting.
This is fabulous, a great project to make together with your children be they budding chefs or happy housewives most can not resist a play kitchen.

I don't even have kids and I want one! This is genius!
