Re-use of Entertainment centers as play kitchens

January 27, 2010 By: Home Category: How-To's/DIY, Kids 2 Comments →

Get a new flat screen TV lately?  Chances are, it’s mounted on the wall, or on a table or stand.  If you had a basic entertainment center before the high def upgrade, it no doubt held your old boxy low-def television, and its wiry mess of A/V equipment.  After the upgrade however, that 42 inch plus HD monster, either wouldn’t fit, or just didn’t look right, and if you haven’t tossed your old particle board based entertainment center, and if you have potential rugrat chefs in the making around, you may want to re-purpose this sturdy piece of furniture as a play kitchen, as these good folks did.
