I turned this...
This is how I did it.
I found an old entertainment center on Craigslist and went to work.
I took the Doors off and the backing off.
I started by putting on a light coat of paint. (I would wait till the end to do this next time)
Then using a jig saw I cut the hole for the sink. After that Jason used it to cut a hold in the "oven" door so Brooke can see the food she is cooking.
I then found some material and modge podged the fabric on to make a counter. I put several coats and then sanded between each coat to make it smooth. It really doesn't feel like fabric any more. I then sealed it off with clear coat. I also taped off and sprayed the Stove top. As well as adding a picture to make a window. The "picture" is really a puzzle that my roommate and I did back in college.
After That I installed the faucet that I got at the habitat for humanity restore and the sink which is a square cake pan.
I used cabinet foam liner to make the burners and ready to eat liquid formula lids sprayed painted black as the knobs. Then I sewed together matching curtains and installed them along with the pot rack. The "glass" on the oven door is Plexiglass from a picture frame.
Over all I think the project was a big success.

Are the knobs able to turn? If so, what kind are they? I am doing a kitchen for my daughter and I unable to find knobs.
