They say good things come in small packages - and this adorable handmade toy kitchen is no exception. Not content with buying a mass-produced plastic contraption from off the shelf, Donna Dunne asked her carpenter brother-in-law, Barry Dunne, to make her a simple frame. She added a coat of paint, doorknobs, and made the hob using CDs and a black marker. To add the finishing touches, she sourced matching accessories in her local Smyth's toy shop, such as the red toy dishwasher and oven (€13.99 each) and washing machine (€18). The many nights spent grappling with a paint brush and screwdriver have finally paid off. Her two daughters, Ali and Milly, will have a wonderful surprise on Christmas morning - this fabulous red and white kitchen that doubles as an awesome shop. Way to go Donna - now when are you taking orders for next year?
