Build your own American Girl doll kitchen! Free plans by Ana-White.com

 

We love how cute and simple this fridge is!  I spray painted random hardware gold and used up scrap wood, so was able to make the entire kitchen for free!  Don't ever throw good hardware out.

The plans for the fridge follow (if this is the homepage you'll need to click READ MORE below) and you can also find plans for everything else too!

Enjoy the plans, and if you do build, please take a second to brag, we'd love to see how your projects turn out too!

Have a great day!

Ana

 

PS - The paint on the doll fridge is Rustoleum Chalked in Country Gray

Cut List

Tools
Tape Measure
Speed Square
Safety Glasses
Hearing Protection
Circular Saw
Miter Saw
Brad Nailer

Instructions

Step 1

Attach the top and bottom pieces to the side pieces. I nailed mine together with 1-1/4" brad nails using my 18 gauge nailer. Attach back with 3/4" brad nails and wood glue.

Step 2

Attach shelves to sides with 1-1/4" brad nails and glue. Also attach back to shelves.

Step 3

Hinge door on to side. You may also need a clasp or hasp to keep the door shut. I also took my circular saw, set the blade to 1/4" depth, and made a false cut in the door face to make the fridge door look like two doors instead of just one big door. I don't recommend two smaller doors because of the amount of hinges you would need, and the upper door size would be wider than tall (not good for door hinging).

I just love the little kitchen! <3 Can't believe I haven't seen it yet, but I'm thinking that the girl I now babysit needs a doll house. She's currently dollhouse deprived. What a sad, sad life :-p

Love it!!
