I found this kids play kitchen set at a garage sale and decided to give it a makeover.
Here’s the before:
It was in pretty bad shape, with some damage to a few places and doors missing.
To get the diamond shapes, I first made an X on the surface, then spaced lines three inches apart from there. Look close to see…
The repeat going the other direction.
For the doors, I pushed them together and drew my lines as if they were one big surface, that way the pattern worked across the break…
I used Behr’s Gobi Desert for the diamonds. Then I glazed it using Ralph Lauren’s Smoke glaze.
For the glaze, I used a sponge brush and just brushed it on, and wiped it off.
Repeat or wipe off as much as you need to in order to get the look you’re going for:
In this picture, the door on the left is glazed but the one on the right is only painted:
After we painted the hardware and replaced all the doors and shelves, we have a brand new play kitchen:
Thanks for looking!
This set is for sale if you’re located in the Dallas area.
