Better After reader Hope was happy with this play kitchen she found for next-to-nothing at a yard sale, but not so happy with the pastel pinks, yellows and blues. Moms have to live with these things too, you know. (My kids have a play kitchen, and I keep it in a closet!)
So she decided to make the palette a little more digestible by going with ‘stainless’ chic instead. Even the handles and faucet got upgraded to sleek silver! Too bad the grocery list didn’t stick around, it would have been hilarious to change it to things like ‘frommage‘ and ‘Evian‘ and … well, that’s about all the fancy stuff I can think of. But you get it.
Thanks for sharing this adorable stainless play kitchen makeover Hope!

January 17, 2012 at 6:19 PMOh this is hilarious. One of my friends just bought the “before” kitchen for her daughter for Christmas (brand new) and we all just raved over how adorable it is. And it actually is really cute in person, it matches her daughter’s room in light blues, pinks, and yellows. The after is amazing though too. To each his own right? 🙂

January 18, 2012 at 3:19 PMI need to know how you did this. I bought that exact kitchen set at a yard sale and my husband will not let me bring it to the house because it has pink on it. It is at my sister’s house right now waiting for the transformation to begin. I want to know what kind of paint and what colors you used.

March 20, 2018 at 3:47 PMOK — just scored this exact kitchen, too == Amazon sells it for $130 and I purchased an older one (6-8 years?, very clean, non-smoking, no pet home) for $40, with some extra play toys — including $5 for the daughter who sold it. I am going to show this makeover to our young parents, and see if they would like this or something else. But I LOVE THIS! Pinterest Friends came thru again.
