Kitchen Little Remodel - No Painting!

My playscale kitchen has been a pink and white color scheme for ages. When I decided to redecorate, I considered removing the Kitchen Little Deluxe Kitchen Center. But I couldn't find any playsets with drawers and cabinets. Check out what I did to remodel it without changing anything permanently, some steps might work for your other remodel projects.

Before: The Center with it's original look.

I didn't have any issues with the actual backsplash but I wanted a pattern to match other parts of the kitchen. I eventually found a thick metallic silver paper that kind of looked like tile. I cut it to fit, no tape necessary. It looks good, but I can't take flash photos because it's too reflective. I'll keep an eye out in case I come across a good replacement.

The countertop proved to be the most complicated part of the remodel. I found a stone look shelf liner for it, created a paper template to fit, and used it to cut out the new surface. To get it to fold and stay over the edges of the surface, I ended up glueing the shelfliner to a cardstock shell that fit over the top.

From pink to "granite" countertop.

Rather than paint parts of the Center, I cut heavy black texured cardstock to fit and used a hole punch to allow them to fit over the knobs. Trimmed to fit, I needed no adhesives.

I decided to cover the floral stickers between the upper cabinets with white and black scrapbooking paper to match the new look.

Next came the pink drawer and cabinet pulls. I tried wrapping them with foil, very unsatisfactory. Then I looked at a wire shelf unit in my house. It has these rubber caps on the exposed ends that are nearly the perfect size. Most hardware and home improvement stores carry them. I bought several, trimmed them to fit, and pushed them on over the pink pulls.

And here is my Kitchen Little Deluxe Kitchen Center's new look — no painting involved and easy to revert to the original look if I change my mind.
