Mandy of We Three Mothers writes, “About a month ago, Cooper was having a lot of fun playing restaurant and grocery store owner in the play room with our Melissa and Doug food items and Kiwi Crate grocery apron. I’ve been wanting a little kitchen for Lily and Cooper for a while, but am not a fan of the plastic ones they sell, and the wooden ones everywhere are pretty pricey. Alas! Cooper and I decided to turn this little table into an oven!”
“This kids workbench is built on one of those old ugly end tables that probably everyone had in the 90′s. I originally used it for a base of a train table for my boys but it turned out that they preferred building their tracks on the floor,” explains Heidi at Honeybear Lane.
Jessica blogs at Mom 4 Real, and she’s been busy working on her daugther’s “big girl room”. She caught a lucky break when it came to furnishing the room by finding this dresser and vanity set along the side of the road.
If you have a table that’s just for the kids, then you have a pretty good idea of what those tables can look like after years of use: scratched, dented, and topped with lots of happy scribbles! That was about the shape this table was in when it was given to Karen of Redoux Interiors.
Crystal from Fussy Monkey Business says, “I bought this table for $2 from my friend’s grandfather. I didn’t know what I would do with it because of it’s odd shape, so it sat in the garage for A LONG TIME.”
Sally from Frills and Fun found a kid’s armchair on the side of the road. It was ripped and worn, but Sally thought it had potential.
Katie, who blogs at DIY Del Ray, found an old table by the side of the road and loved the color. She
thought the table would make a great desk for her son who had been asking for a home office in his closet.
