Finely

Funny thing, someone who shall remain nameless, texted me "finely" when I said I finished my kids kitchen.  I was going to name it Finally, but I think Finely is so much more appropriate.  It took me this long to do it because I wanted it to be perfect.  I had to play around with a few colors to decide what was right for our house.  This is what I came up with.  My kids absolutely adore it and while it is 'finally' done, we all think it fits in here "Finely" :-).  I wanted to take pictures of it stocked so you could see one in action.  You get to see them all clean and empty, but I thought it would be fun for you to see what they look like/how they function once they have all the kids stuff in them.

My son chose a wood handle instead of our typical stamped spoon.  I was surprised! 

Lots of work space on the sink top 

Cherry On Top

We rearranged our space and set up over at ReRuns 4 Wee Ones in Valparaiso, so go check it out!  We have decided to take an approach in which we rotate our pieces of furniture after a few weeks and leave fewer in there.  Stop in and let us know what you think.  This new arrangement brings us to Cherry On Top.  These are the first two pieces we made specifically to put in Sarah's shop.  And since that was the case, we felt their photo shoot ought to happen there.  The name, as always, came to us for a number of reasons.  The fabric, to us, looks like piles of ice cream with cherries on top and this sweet little set really is the cherry on top.  It is a 2 piece set, but ideal for someone who has limited space. They are just slightly larger than one of our typical pieces when set side by side.  So your kids can enjoy the versatility of 2 pieces (ie. not fighting over the kitchen space) yet they won't take up too much room in your house.

New table!

cutting board work space along side the cooking space

metal pan for magnets

We left the hinges on the side of the door so it can be an oven, a fridge, a microwave, whatever your little love wants it to be!

 Aren't they cute?

Bon Appetit

We were contacted by a sweet mama looking for a set of kitchens for her daughter who was about to turn 1.  We were thrilled to do another 2 piece set.  Most people don't have room for 2 pieces in their homes, so they are not that common, but boy do we love working on them!  We got a little carried away with the accessories on this set, but golly, aren't they cute!! We waited until the big reveal at the birthday party to post any pictures to the blog or Facebook. 

She has the most adorable nursery and we were given the opportunity to work with her nursery fabrics. 

I think the phone is becoming a hot ticket item!!

Aren't this fork and spoon adorbz??!!  

Playing with chalkboard shapes - fun!

Standard magnet tins

We left her a fair amount of work space for cutting, prepping and cleaning her dishes ;-)

We really do love doing a separate stove oven.  It always looks so real!

Tickled Pink

What can we say about Tickled Pink??  She is a GLAMOUR girl.  Complete with a glitter top coat, crystals hanging from her sconce and a fabric that sings class.  Check her out!

Reid was into her glitter and crystals - he knows what the ladies like

Magnetic tins 

Have we mentioned how handy we are with a jig saw?  Check out this hand crafted chalkboard 

She even warranted one of out G spoons 

Her crystals are the crown jewel of this piece - haha 

even her knobs have a touch of pink on top
