Love this site! My grandaughters were coming to stay and I was in the process of making a playroom/bedroom for them. I stumbled across this site just in time. I made the kitchen using the stove and sink plans from grace's kitchen except I combined them into one. So instead of having two seperate units, I just combined them together using one side panel for both, (making 3 20" long panels instead of 4) and placed one long countertop and backsplash. I used a candlestick holder (painted red) for the faucet, glued in a 1/2" in. threaded plastic nipple I had from the outdoor sprinkler system, and screwed on a hose for an icemaker for the refrigerator, (found at lowes in the plumbing department (cost 3.99)(I'm a widget girl!!) I love to look for things that could be used for something else. Then walaa, a faucet!!
Estimated Cost
20.00- I had wood leftover from the farmhouse daybed with trundle for the playroom (will upload later)
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
220 grit all/ valspar white primer/ then 220 grit again/ 2 or 3 coats Behr paint in semigloss-swiss coffee/ side panels, trim faucet and oven door, Rustoleum 2x coverage in red. (LOve this spray paint because it goes right where you spray it and covers beautifully!) Had a rough time with the hardware, use eurohinges and save yourself some grief!! I also would (please for the love of all mankind, heed my advice on this one) Cut the sinkhole first before painting and before placing the countertop. I waited until it was all finished and placed in the room before I cut the hole, thinking it would be so simple, made a huge mess and had to reputty with woodfiller and paint over mistakes AGHHH! Used a new dogbowl for sink.
