The most-played imaginary game in our house is ‘cafes’. A good game of cafes ticks all the boxes – there’s imaginary cooking, eating, customer service and of course the best bit, having mum or dad sit down to a freshly brewed coffee!
I think I’ll have to start scavenging for cardboard because when I saw the amazing cardboard coffee shop created for a little girl, Emilia, I was truly blown away.
Like my kids, Emilia likes playing cafes and coffee shops. Unlike my kids, Emilia’s mum built her an astonishing cardboard cafe of her own, known as ‘Millz Coffee‘.
Emilia’s mum is the incredibly talented Traci of 45Wall Design. Traci claims the Millz Coffee project started with the acquisition of a toy wooden coffee pot and the throwaway line, “maybe I’ll build her a coffee shop to go with it.”
And she did. In fact, I think Traci has set a precedent. Look at the amazing details – a Millz Coffee logo, felt food, an espresso machine, a cash register and even bags of coffee beans!
Millz Coffee is a lovely reminder of what can be created for kids with a little imagination (and a little talent!).

This is fantastic!!! What a great Mummy. I came across a blog recently where a Mum & Dad made a kitchen for their little girl from an old kitchen cupboard & there was also a segment on making a kitchen/fridge etc out of boxes on Better Homes & Gardens. I will be attempting both these projects over the coming weeks.
Wow that’s amazing. It looks so pretty! Very professional & detailed. I hope I can make something like that one day!
Millz mum is amazing,love one.
