Reader, please hold your applause until the end of the post. So you've been inspired by all the a-maz-ing DIY play kitchens readers have shown off here, but you just don't have the space for one, right? Neither did Kathy so she dreamed up this super-smart, space-saving solution. Click through for a better look at what she calls "the stove we can put our feet up on."

What a clever idea and one that you can customize to any piece of child-height furniture you have around. You could even make it reversible and devise another playscape for your child on the other side.

Brava, Kathy! [unleash applause].
