Renovation Rescue- Belfast edition: the IKEA play kitchen hack

Hello there! So you’ve heard about the IKEA play kitchen hack, awesome! For the sake of sharing my learnings, here is how I DIY’ed this renovation for my little love. A girlfriend had made one before me, so I knew how time intensive and laborious this was going to be... so it sat in the box for almost a year. I mentally prepared to do nothing but this in every nap time and bed time (my house was quite embarrassing during this 2.5 week project!). Alas, at last, here is a mini kitchen to match my big kitchen. I used the same paints that were used on my house and the same copper tones which we have as a theme throughout our home. My daughter absolutely loves her new play kitchen. If you’re about to take this journey on, good luck!  Step 1.  Sanding- make sure you have a firm grip ready before turning the power on.

Step 2: 

Cover the cook top with blue tape (I’ve left the plastic cover on the cook top and put tape around it). Spray the bits and bobs with plastic primer (2 coats- 24 hours between coats). Use the box which the kitchen comes in to prop up the handles etc. I used a screw driver to make the holes. Don’t forget to use a dust sheet underneath everything. I think the trick is to spray lightly, as I sprayed it on heavily and it didn’t adhere well. 

Step 3.

Primer coat of paint. I think I did 3 coats but I wish I’d done 2 to save time. 24 hours between coats. Then repeat with the topcoat paint. Other people paint everything first and then do the assembly once finished. As you can see I’ve done it the other way around to save space as I was in a shed not a garage.

Step 4.

Sand the kitchen top. For safety I always wore a dust mask, dusk goggles & latex gloves while working. 

Step 5.

Wood stain the kitchen top. I think I did four coats with 24 hours between layers. IKEA wood doesn’t absorb the stain like other wood does so do lots of sanding and really rub in the stain (using a sponge like this one).

Step 6.

More sanding and more spray painting onto plastic. My spray paint kept flaking off. It was very annoying! But I was determined to fix it so I kept redoing it. Once I had put the whole kitchen together, some spray paint flaked off one of the handles. I sprayed a little onto a nail polish brush to touch it up and it seems to have done the trick.  The door looks like it is made of cardboard not wood, which would be handy to know in case anyone reading this had planned on wood staining it. 

Step 7.

Blue tape and instead of sanding with a power tool, I’ve used a small sanding block. The point here is to just take the shine off so the primer can get a good grab. Primer x 2, top coat x 2 (I was getting impatient hence the 2 not 3 coats). 24 hours between coats.

Step 8. More sanding and more spraying... 

Step 9.

Assemble bottom half of kitchen. Drill 3 holes to make way for cute knobs which I purchased from Homebase. Everything else I had purchased from B&Q.

Step 10.

Woo! New knobs to function the oven. The tricky part was making sure they measured well before making holes. My father in law brought his drill over and made the holes. To make sure the knobs are in the right spot, turn them around and put the centre screw over your pencil marking. Try opening and closing the oven door to be sure they fit. 

Step 11. 

I was so over spray painting in the middle of the night by this point!

Step 12. 

Primer coats and top coats. Because both sides had to be painted, I painted both sides with the primer and leant the wood into the wall resting on blue tape. This was to save time. When it came time to do the top coats, I left 12 hours between coats and did one side at a time. I’ve propped the wood up on some of the cardboard packing materials which came with the kitchen. 

Step 13.

After attempting to use a hand saw to cut the ply wood for my back splash, I swiftly jumped into the car en route to B&Q. Jim (pictured) used a panel saw for free and cut it to size. They are open late which is awesome for mums and dads who find it a pain to run errands with their little ones. 

Step 14.

Back splash I’ve used a sponge to smoosh the wall paper onto my plywood (smooth side only- it will not adhere to the bumpy side). I found the sponge unnecessary, for a house yes get one, but for a play kitchen I think your hand or a tea towel is enough. I recommend finding an adhesive paper that sticks directly onto your backsplash (that’s what I though I had- doh). 

Step 15.

After my drill bit broke in half, I decided to use nails to install the back splash. 

Step 16.

I used the small IKEA nails.

Step 17.

I put three nails on the top and on both sides. If you were a professional you’d likely put a groove for the bottom of the ply wood to rest in place- not me :) 

Once the last nail was in, I think every muscle in my body took a sigh of relief. My wide grin wasn’t as flattering so I’m posting this pic instead :)  

Finished! Now my beautiful kitchen had to stay hidden for 5 days (some say 7 days is recommended). The reason is something to do with the paints settling in. 

Accessories I love the Melissa & Doug brand- my daughter loves to use them, I think because they are wooden and “real”. The food groups, crates and also the cleaning station is by Melissa & Doug. The tea set is also wooden and called the “Hape tea set for two”. The pasta supplies are wooden and felt- they were a gift so I’m not sure where they were from.  The kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and vegetables are IKEA. 

Notice the little foodie themed artworks on the left. One pictures an onion and the other a strawberry. 

One very happy and entertained little imagination learner! 

Beep! I should have put a button on the microwave. My daughter presses an imaginary button every time she uses it.

“ahh, wow, wow, wow, wow” - mission accomplished <3

How to create your own Plate Display

I love hanging plates on walls. Precious plates are meant to be on display so you can feel happy inside every time they are caught by your eye, & curated plate wall collections are always such a beautiful feature in a home or shop, especially if they’re mixed in with other wall hanging treasures.

Top Tips for Wowser Walls

Here are my leading pointers on how to develop your own wowsers display with your plate collection:

Step the area of the wall that you're intending on covering with plates, then define the exact same space on the flooring

Beginning at the centre with your preferred and crucial plate, add a rhythmic mix of the numerous sizes of plates working away from the centre. I tend to have a gap of about 3 to 4 inches in between the plates. This step will assist you quickly attempt different designs

When you're happy with your layout, take a birds eye view image on a phone or camera of the plates whilst balancing precariously on a chair over your display screen. Key at this moment to not drop your cam or yourself, both of which (as I have done) triggers a couple of tears. Avoid red wine before starting as that assists neither issue happen.

Next mark the centre of the display screen on your wall area, & begin by hanging your main plate. Start to work outwards, describing your photo to ensure you stick to your design.

When you are ended up, you can switch the same sized plates around to make your last changes 

... And voila! you have an incredibly smashing feature wall.

What’s in a Wall (Colour)….

I love the way the classic Fine Bone China blends with white walls, but black and white plate design’s have the unique ability to look great on any tone or colour as they really pop.

Dark painted walls behind plate walls can look incredibly dramatic! Farrow and Ball’s ‘Hague Blue’ is my absolute favourite as it makes the gold sparkle that bit more too.

All my plate designs & brass plate hangers are available now in sizes coaster, small, medium, large (& some designs even supersize) so you can get started on a wall of your own easy peasy.

Welcome to The Ink House, an artist’s mysterious mansion, built on a magical pool of ink that inspires creativity in anyone who lives there. When the artist goes adventuring, animals great and small arrive for the Annual Ink House Extravaganza. The party is about to begin…

Featuring a cast of loveable characters and discoveries on every page, this exquisitely inked picture book by acclaimed artist Rory Dobner will surprise and delight readers of all ages.

How did I get the book? Received from Publisher in exchange for an honest review

Genre: Picture Book

Review: The Ink House is a visually stunning picture book. Predominately in black and white each page has beautifully illustrations of the house guests that visit. There is also a little extra treat at the end where you can re-visit the story to find the smallest visitors, but I don’t want to give too much away. 🙂

My critique for this book would be that it really is all about the art. The story isn’t that detailed. With the owner is gone, a menagerie of visitors descends.

The enjoyment of The Ink House is derived from the illustrations and they deliver plentiful.

I love mixed decor and in his home in London, artist Rory gets it right. 

Rory loves animals and most of his work features them, but his son is unfortunately allergic. They’ve managed to have a lot of pets ... stuffed. “It is always better than nothing!” said Rory.

The bluish tones of the armchairs, together with the dark wood, give warmth to a room.

Rory's custom silk velvet upholstered sofa and armchairs are paired with a squiggle orange carpet.

Pink Flamingo Tapestry and a children's table made by Rory.

Love the low table (with a ceramic candle holder by Rory) and the boxes that decorate the interior of the fireplace, from a flea market. Above the fireplace, one of Rory's most iconic framed designs.

The kitchen is equipped with very original base units: They are actually old cabinets from a science laboratory. The oven is a vintage design from AGA. On the countertop, a golden ceramic cage, by Kuhn Keramik, and mugs and tiles with Rory designs.

In one corner, the walls are decorated with a luminous neon message, made by Rory himself, and with dishes from him and some other vintage ones.

Annexed to the kitchen, an office with a high table and high stools (made by Rory).

The work area revolves around an old school table and the Ghost chair. On the wall, old prints, insects, Rory designs ... and in the corner a gilt antique mirror.

One of the corners of the study with a sofa and armchairs made by Rory.

At the end of the staircase there is an old recovered armchair. On the wall, Rory's Portrait L, drawing on brushed steel.

In his son’s room, one of the walls was covered with Birch wallpaper.  The bed is reupholstered with a striped fabric, and is covered with a patchwork quilt made by Claire, Rory's wife.

In the bathroom, in front of the surprising Victorian fireplace, a bathtub & toilet are reproductions.

In the master bedroom the furniture is recovered and the lamp is from an antique dealer.
