From shelving unit to my first kitchen

As a child, I loved turning shelving units to my own nefarious purposes, creating all manner of inpromptu dollshouses and puppet theatres out of them whenever the whim so took me.

Unfortunately for my parents, these were usually items of furniture that were needed for important purposes around the house (even if my dolls felt differently), so if you've got young kids, why not pre-empt them and turn a redundant set of shelves into something they can play with? This 'first kitchen' idea is simply adorable, and would be easy to create using some spare wallpaper, toys and DIY tools. Check out how it was done over at Ikea Hacker.
