Kari and Kijsa are hosting a "Trash to Treasure" party today.So without further ado, the curbside nightstand I rescued and transformed into a play kitchen.
Thanks so much to all of you who offered color advice last week. I really like the black and think I have made a pretty, yet gender neutral play kitchen that could be in a living room without embarrassment.
The best part, I am going to turn this trash to real treasure when I sell it. The proceeds will go to my church's homeless feeding program. The program is seriously strapped because of the economy. This is the first time I have ever sold anything. Wish me luck!
Updated: Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement! I have added notes to my flickr pictures if you are interested in making one yourself.

How wonderful! This is just the cutest thing - what amazing talent - we are sure this will bring in lots of money for your church!! All the best,
Karla & Karrie
Very creative...I pray that you makes tons of money for your church! Blessings!
Now that is amazing - how creative! So much better than those store-bought things - even at PBarn! Linda
Oh, this is amazing! How smart you are to do this. Good luck on selling this treasure...some little one is going to have so much fun with it....
It turned out great!!!
That is awesome!
Jane, you absolutely outdid yourself! It's absolutely FAB and I know it will be snapped up fast! I love how you did the stone paint on the front--until I read that it was paint, I actually thought you'd had a tiny piece of granite countertop cut! LOL Really, It's amazing!
You really outdid yourself with this one Jane! I love it better than Elise's PB kitchen, and think the black base makes it fit into a living room or kitchen that's not so white.
Darling! I am going to be making a play kitchen one of these days as well :-)
This is absolutely wonderful! I've seen so many great kitchen ideas lately, but I think this one is my favorite. You took something destined for the dump and turned it into something beautiful and useful. I hope your ministry gets a great boost from your hard work.
(Just imagine what the original owners would think about it now!)
Wow! What a great transformation. I would have never thought to do something like this. I guess I don't think outside the box very well. I'm sure you will have no trouble selling it.
Such a cute idea!!! Good job!
How adorable!
Perfect size and everything!!!
Love how you added the chalk board ;-)
Thanks for sharing!

Oh--so cute, and such a fabulous idea!
Toooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! I had a ton of fun doing this!
Holy Cow! I can't believe how fabulous that turned out! I absolutely love it!
That's definitely one of the coolest transformations I've ever seen!

WOW - you are way creative! I know it will sell and you'll be so proud!
Great, great job. I love that makeover, almost makes me wish I had a child young enough to play with a play kitchen!
Wow, you really have a creative eye! I don't think I would have ever seen a play kitchen in that, but it's fabulous. Some little person is going to be very lucky, as is your church. Great job!

Again did a bang up job on that piece of 'trash'! It should fetch a pretty price for your program you are donating the funds too! Great job!
Hello Miz Jane,
Wow, what a transformation! That play kitchen is off the hook! You have some serious craftiness going on that you could envision it from it's humble beginnings *smiles* I'm sure it would sell and raise a lot of money. I know I would have bought it for my own son years ago if I'd had seen it. Love it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment! Have a blessed week!
What an AWESOME piece you have designed!! Love it!
Hugs,
