That’s not a bad price at all!! The other benefit from making it on your own is it will be extra special to your little one, PLUS: It’s far FAR more cute then anything that is out in stores! So cute!
i came over from ohdeedoh and am in love with your play kitchen. i cannot believe you and your dad made this. can i adopt your dad for a bit so he can make one for my daughter?
it is just fantastic! congrats on such a wonderful project that oozes love and creativity.
I went to the ODEEDOH (sp?) site and looked at those kitchens! I seriously LIKE yours the best!!!
Magnetic paint on the fridge is GENIUS!
