Ikea DUKTIG play kitchen hack (and our favourite accessories)

As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I went out and bought the Ikea Duktig Play Kitchen. It's a perfect little size for any room, and offers a great canvas for a DIY. Plus, it only costs $99.
I finished this project in a day, with no freak outs- which is saying a lot when assembling Ikea furniture. I put Liam in his ball pit and put the entire kitchen together. Then during his nap, I added my personal touches to make it my own.

Materials:

• Ikea Duktig Play Kitchen
• Osternas Leather Handles
• Peel & Stick Tiles (there should be 4 sheets included in each pack). I did a marble subway tile, but there are many different options you can choose from. 
• Foam Board for the tiles to stick to. Make sure to get a piece that is big enough to fit the gap of the kitchen
• scissors or xacto knife/box cutter
• 4 nails to nail in foam board to the kitchen 
• Hammer
• AA Batteries for the stove to light up

Accessories I used to style the kitchen:

• Duktig 5-piece toy kitchen utensil set
• Duktig 5-piece toy cookware set
• Fejka artificial plant
• Papaja White Pot Plant
• Duktig 9-piece fruit basket 
• Duktig 14-piece vegetables
• Grimms Rainbow Stacker
• Play Refrigerator Food

Instructions:
* You can paint the kitchen if you want to. I chose to keep it the original colour, but if you are choosing to paint, I suggest you do this before assembling the kitchen

1. Assemble the Duktig Play Kitchen with the Ikea instructions 
2. To make the backsplash, cut your foam board to the size of the backsplash area on the kitchen. Use the peel & Stick tiles on the board. Line them up and cut the excess off the board. 
3. Use four nails, to hold the board in place on the back of the kitchen 

Ta Da! A beautiful piece of furniture to add a tons of fun for years to come!
