• TROFAST wall storage unit
• TROFAST frame, white
• TROFAST containers and lids
• Hob and tap from the kitchen DUKTIG
• BYGEL rail
• RIMFORSA hooks
• GUBBARP handles x 2 two
• GUBBARP buttons x 4
• DUKTIG toys

Other materials:

• Wood boards (I used fir) for the sides and top
• A sheet of chipboard for the back
• Stainless steel dog bowl for the sink
• Patterned cement tiles stickers
• Stain (gray)
• Black paint
• Hinges x 4
• Magnets x 2

Tools:

• Jigsaw
• Cordless drill
• Drill bits
• A little elbow grease and imagination

How to turn TROFAST units into a kids kitchen

After deciding on the design and making a rough sketch of it, I outlined my drawings on to the fir boards for the sides and top. Then I cut them and stained them.

I did the same for the doors of the oven and microwave. For contrast, I decided to color the doors in black paint.

Then I made holes in the TROFAST frame to fit the sink, faucet and cooktop. To do this, I first used a drill to make a few holes along the cut line. Then I inserted the blade of my jigsaw into the holes and cut it out.

With the holes and cut lines sanded down, I installed the sink, faucet and cooktop in their place.

Next, for some hanging storage, I set the BYGEL rail under the TROFAST wall unit.

After that, I fixed the doors with hinges and magnets.

The last thing was to put the whole thing together. I assembled it with a little help.

Once assembled, I measured the size for the back panel and cut a piece of chipboard accordingly. I painted it white and then stuck the colorful patterned cement tile stickers on it.

When that is done, I set the panel at the back of the units.

And now, my kids kitchen for my daughter is done and she’s delighted!
