play kitchen inspiration

Over the weekend I bought a funny little nightstand on Craigslist to start on a project that has been at the top of my list for months:  a play kitchen for Oscar.  Can I just say ... people of Santa Barbara, you overprice your Craigslist items!  Also, you apply the word "vintage" to your furniture posts far too liberally.

After weeks of diligent searching, I found a workable nightstand, which is now living in the in-laws garage next to their precious power tools.   The nightstand has kind of a odd shape, but the price was right (only $5).   My plan turn it into something beautiful like this:

(I love this one so much!)

I also dig this larger version using an old entertainment center.  If I had the space in my apartment, it would be on.

Lots of inspiration has turned up in the Play Kitchen Group on Flickr.  Have you seen a nightstand-turned-play kitchen that I should know about?  If so, please share!
