denise of stiches and nails made this for her granddaughter out of a find in her friend's garage. are you not jealous of the little girl who gets to play with this on a regular basis? I AM. it's soooo much better than anything you can find at toys'r'us.  and to think, i left MY 1990s tv hutch next to the dumpster when i moved out of my first apartment. i have been eyeing those cute kitchen sets with the dishes and pots and pans (and the kitchen) over at ikea since before irie was born, wishing i was a kid again. i am now on a new mission to find an old entertainment center to convert for little miss iriebean... she's almost 16 months old now, it's time for her to learn her place in the kitchen.

TOTALLY kidding.

you can find a picture how-to here. goodwill, craigslist, garage sales! here i come!!
