I love Ikea and I love projects so when I saw this adorable DUKTIG play kitchen, I just had to get it.
My husband was a HUGE help and painted all of the piece, except I wanted to paint the counter top. I wanted it to look like granite, specifically like the one in our house in Alabama. I played a lot with colors and did tons of coats in different hues of black and gray, along with crinkling up paper to give it a more "granite" look.
After many coats and letting it dry completely, I bought some Klarlack (clear lacquer) for a top coat. It smelt horrible but gave it a nice shiny finish.
I bought some drawer knobs at the local euro store, Tedi (similar to a dollar store) and attached them above one of the drawer to make it look like a working stovetop and oven.
I am very excited about this Ikea Hack and can not wait to see Rand play with it on Christmas morning!
