Molly's Kitchen - A DIY Kitchen project for a three year old's birthday.

Okay, so we're going to start my artist blog with an oldie but a goodie.

Sam and I love to create something extraordinary for Molly's birthday. It's the one time every year our child gets spoiled to crap, and if you don't approve, well woop-de-fricking-do! We love to do it every year, it is as fun for us as it is for her, and we look forward to the challenge of doing these projects for the two kids now.

Back in ole 2012, we set our minds to making a kitchen for our little helper. We love to collaborate, and Sam is a visionary with the things that he can just throw down from his mind to a 3d object in a very short time. Seriously, he is amazing.

So I said "cool retro kitchen" and he styled up this little ditty, then we wanted a tile backsplash, so we cut those out, and then we wanted the burners to look hot, so I cut out some glitter vinyl and shellacked it to the little "burners" He cut out an M for the oven window and we made a plexiglass oven window. The painting and creating was really really fun. We added wee details like the sink made out of a bowl from the thrift store, and little faucets. Her birthday was 9.9.9 so we made the clock say 9:09 with a sticker, as well as naming it the Molly 3.0 to celebrate the turning of three, or rather the keeping our tiny human safe and alive for three whole years!

She was THRILLED, and to this day she uses it all the time. Now that she is five, she even cleans it, and makes sure things are put in their spot. Her kitchen is always a lot more organized than her mom's.
