Switching subjects, this is going to show that my obsession with oddly colored, vintage kitchens goes back to my childhood. I don't know where it came from as everyone in my family had white 80's appliances with wood colored cabinets. This was the sink I picked out to use in my Barbie house.
It is for Penny Brite who is a bit shorter than Barbie but I guess it must have blended enough for my 10 year old self. Unfortunately I don't have the rest of the set so Barbie's fridge and stove were the 80's model, which is pink, so I guess it works. I do remember being bothered by the odd upper cabinet. I never knew what was supposed to be there and without the internet, there was no easy way of knowing! When I came across this in my Barbie stash, recently unearthed from my parents basement, I was excited to find what was missing. It turns out it is a set of doors which were supposed to look like patterned glass. hmm. I can recreate that!
I had this contact paper which was here when we moved in? I don't know where it came from.
and a plastic box from a Christmas Present.
A little measuring, cutting and this is the final result.
It's not quite to scale as nicely as the original but I can't beat free plus 10 minutes of my time.
How neat to finally have it as it should have been!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! And why do I keep thinking that divider with the circles in it could be a wine rack?
