Faux Pantry Wall Display

Recently I shared a post where I showed you the before and after of my thrifted laundry room cabinets. The two sets with closed doors hold real food pantry back-stock, but the glass door cabinets I use for my faux food pantry display. Read on to see more:

Now on to those cabinets!

Left Cabinet

All of the faux fruits produce and the containers that they are displayed in were found at thrift stores or garage sales. I have an upcoming post that will show the before and after of the kitchen canisters. The roasting pan and colander I spray painted in gold and the potted herbs I made like this. The container of cherries is just a plastic tub that I painted in brown, then covered with a bit of Saran Wrap. You can find a similar Farm Fresh Produce printable here and a similar herb printable here.

Here are close-up photos of the left cabinet:

Right Cabinet

Similar to the left side, all of the produce and containers here are thrifted with some things painted in gold. The candy apples I made by simply gluing a wooden dowel into a faux apple and the plants are either thrifted or made by me.

The "cook books" are a joke from The Sims 3. In the game characters can learn to cook by reading books with these titles. I made my own with real hardback books that I picked up from Dollar Tree. Using Mod Podge I applied it to the outside of the pages and the insides of the covers so that the books can no longer open. I then painted the covers in green and made new titles out of vinyl that I cut with my Cricut.

The Home Grown Strawberries printable is available here and a similar Locally Grown Produce printable here.

Here are close-up photos of the right cabinet:

And that's what I have in my faux pantry wall display!

Easter Decor

Happy almost Easter, my friends! Come in for a tour of my Easter decor:

**********

My dining room shelves contain Easter photos of my kids throughout the years as well as my collection of colorful eggs.

These are small foam eggs, the kind that you get on sticks at Dollar Tree. I just remove the sticks and then put them in old candle jars.

The rest of my eggs (on these shelves) are the plastic kind that you fill with treats for Easter egg hunts. I like to group them by color/ type and then fill up my cake domes.

These large eggs were a thrift sore find, $1.99 each. I removed the ribbon hangers and tucked them in around the fire place.

I found this little house as is at the thrift store (again, $1.99) and thought is was perfect for spring. A few mini bunnies out front and it's perfect on my desk.

In the front hall are my large chocolate bunny and eggs, faux carrot plants and a couple of printables.

You can read how to make the bunny and eggs here and the faux carrot plants here.

The Fresh Carrots printable is available here and the Bunny Bites Farm printable here.

In the kitchen are a couple of jars of treat themed plastic eggs. These are exactly the same as the ones shown in my Easter fake bake post from the breakfast room. You can see that collection of fake bakes here.

At the hearth in the family room are a couple more collections of eggs and printables. You can find the Thrill of the Hunt printable here, the Egg Hunt Champion printable here and the Easter Egg Farm printable here.

And that's my Easter decor!

Last week when I shared my collection of Easter fake bakes, I mentioned that these bunny figurines were created with spray paint. Read on to see the before and after:

Here are the statues as I found them, $1.99 each from the thrift store.

I spray painted them in brown.

And tucked them into my fake bake chocolate Easter collection.

I love how they turned out!

Easter Fake Bake Decor

Hello my friends! Come in and see my Easter themed fake bakes:

**********

My breakfast room cabinet hosts a collection of chocolate bunnies and eggs.

The tiny bunny figurines are spray painted and will be featured in next week's post (the largest statues were created in the same way).

There are three sizes of plastic chocolate bunnies that you would find for Easter basket gifts (in the pics they are sitting on the yellow and green cake stands). The largest I found on eBay some years back, but the smallest are available from Wal Mart for less than a dollar!

The slice of cake is a triangle cut piece of foam that I painted in brown and then topped in orange tinted spackle.

The egg shaped truffles are plaster that was poured into an egg shaped silicone mold and painted in acrylic. I then used puffy paint to create the swirl topping.

The white and dark chocolate bunnies in the jar are foam and were made like this. The two jars of bunny shaped candies are again plaster with acrylic and puffy paint. One jar of chocolate eggs are plastic and the other are foam, both that I painted in brown.

The cupcakes were made like this and topped with bunnies that I made by putting clay in a candy mold.

The carrot soup printable is no longer available, but the chocolate egg print can be found here and the chocolate bunny print here.

Hanging from the window is a Wilton bunny cake pan that I spray

painted and then detailed with puffy paint.

Over on the left side of the dresser is a collection of carrot cake desserts.

The carrot/nut topped cupcakes are from Dezicakes, you can order a similar set of cupcakes here and the cake here.

The strawberries-as-carrots cupcakes I made myself. Just paint a faux strawberry in orange and then add a little orange puffy paint on top to look like icing.

The small yellow cake is foam covered in spackle and topped with faux carrots. The same faux carrots are also in the jar at the back of the cake stand.

The carrot cake printable can be found here.

On the right side of the dresser is my family of Peeps. All of the Peeps were made like this, and then I put some in jars, some on cupcakes and others in a bowl.

On the left side of my buffet are my cookies/ mini cupcakes, cupcake styled eggs and jelly beans.

All of the cookies are salt dough or clay and painted in acrylic. Some are embellished with puffy paint while others feature cinnamon.

The plastic eggs were a grocery store find a few years ago. They were pre-filled with candy for Easter egg hunts, but I bought them just because they looked like cupcakes 😉

The jelly beans are tiny bits of clay painted in acrylic.

On the right side of the buffet are my pastel ceramic eggs and Easter candies. I think I found the ceramic eggs at the thrift store, but I can't remember 😕

The box of chocolates are all plaster bunnies made like this.

The larger candies are also plaster, painted in acrylic and detailed with puffy paint.

The cupcakes are drizzled with acrylic paint and the egg embellishments are made from clay.

And that's my collection of Easter themed fake bakes!
