A couple of years ago, I received a box full of used dollhouse furniture from my grandmother. She no longer had any use for them, and some of the items in that box were broken and missing parts. I've been slowly working my way through the box repairing and rehabbing the pieces.
One of the items was this sad little stove. Although it was missing 2 legs and the square door was broken, it wasn't in bad shape. It was just so plain looking, and there was some funky glue globs on the front leg.
After I removed the legs and extra bits, I primed it with a coat of white chalk paint and patched some rough spots with wood filler. I even ordered some new legs from eBay.
I decided to paint the stove a light teal color and kept the trim on the doors white. Then, I sealed it with a coat of satin varnish.
I was getting some major country vibes from this stove, but it was definitely missing something, so I printed a few decals and added them to the doors and sealed it again.
And here it is! Once I attached the handles, this bad boy really came to life! I could see this sitting in a cute country-themed kitchen or shabby bakery. I just love it!
