We still have to figure out the oven knob. It's got a much shorter post on it, plus there is a metal liner inside the post. The burner knobs were plastic, and we figured out a way to use a screw and washer to make them turn freely. The oven knob is more of a challenge.
I was going to paint the back 'wall', but I realized a couple of things. For one, I didn't have any interior primer...so I would have to buy that. I didn't know how much wear and tear that particle board stuff would take, either...and I realized that I had enough of this plaid contact paper to do the job. So, here is the back wall. I know it looks like it's ick, but once it's in place, it works out the way it's supposed to.
So...this is how it looks by the sink and counter. How cute is that border! (yay, Goodwill!)
And this is the whole thing, so far.
We are not finished just yet! I can't wait to show you what else we're going to do! :)

OMW! TOO cute! I love it!
Wow! That is an amazing project! KIH is going to love it. My daughter would have loved it when she was Kitten's age. My "baby" is 16. I am making her some gifts, too, but nothing that elaborate. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see a pic of Kitten on Christmas day with her gifts.
Bountiful blessings,
