Pantry Cabinet Makeover

 Home Decor

I decided to upgrade my current faux pantry after finding a display cabinet at the thrift store.  Read on to see how I made it over:

Home Decor

Here is the cabinet that I had in place at the time; a simple bookshelf painted white with photo frame 'doors' to keep the dust out.



Home Decor

When I found this cabinet that was taller and had an actual working door, I knew I had to snap it up.  It was a great deal at a thrifted $20 😉



Home Decor

Look at what I did moving it into the house, I cracked one of the glass panels!  No problem though, I can fix that...



Home Decor

...First I sealed the crack with e6000 and let dry.



Home Decor

Next I placed an acrylic ruler on top of the broken section and took a picture.



Home Decor

I then uploaded that photo to Cricut's Design Space and stretched the image so that the measurements matched the grid on screen.  If you look closely, you can see the crack.



Home Decor

With the image of the crack in place, I designed a sticker on top knowing it would be the exact size and shape to cover it up!



Home Decor

I cut the vinyl and placed the sticker like this.   I decided to mirror the sticker and placed another on other side of cabinet as well.  This makes it look uniform and intentional.



Home Decor

I painted the cabinet white and put the glass panels back in place.  You can see the stickers on the bottom left and right sides.



Home Decor

I got everything filled in and loved how it looked...



Home Decor

...but I felt nervous about the thin glass shelves.  My husband cut stronger ones out of wood for me that I painted in white and put in instead.

Here is how it all looks now:

I'm happy to have five shelves now instead of four, and the working door is so convenient!

This post will take you through what's on each shelf.

You might have noticed the new tins that I added at the same time.  I found them at the thrift store for $2 each and cut stickers for them using this SVG bundle.

And here is the new cabinet all finished and in place.  Being able to open it up and fuss with my collection is such a treat!

Experimenting With Art Time Dough

Fake Bakes

I found a tub of Art Time Dough at the thrift store and decided to experiment, here is how it turned out:

Fake Bakes

I've used Sculpy and Crayola Model Magic several times, but I had never heard of "Art Time Dough".  Since it was a full, unopened tub and only $3, I figured I would try it out.

During the same shopping trip I also found this silicone non stick mat for $2.  I don't know what the intended use is, but I thought it looked like a waffle and would be fun to play with.

I rolled out the Art Time Dough and used a round cookie cutter to make my waffle shape.

Not too bad, but the edges are a little crumbly.

I cut some more waffles and a set of stars in graduating sizes.

When everything was dry I painted all of the cutouts in Classic Caramel.

I used white puffy paint to outline the stars and poured some brown acrylic over the waffles.

The waffles I tucked into my faux food breakfast cabinet.

The stars I stacked up like a tree and placed inside my cookie cabinet.

 Overall, I liked how the the Art Time Dough projects turned out.  The material is a little dryer than Crayola Model Magic, but definitely easier to work with than Sculpy.  If I were heading to the craft store to buy a modeling compound then Crayola Model Magic would be my first choice, but I would still pick up Art Time Dough if I found it while thrifting again.

And that's how my Art Time Dough experiment turned out!

My Collection of Vintage Food Toys

Toy Collector

Last week I shared an eBay haul post featuring a lot of vintage food toys that I won at auction.  While sharing the photos, I mentioned here and there if I already had an item belonging to a set.  This week I thought it might be fun to show you what I've already got in my collection, check it out:

Toy Collector

So first things first, what do I do with all of these collected toys?  Some of them I keep in my "bakery" (the storage closet where I house my off season fake bakes), some of them go into my playhouse shed (I'll give a tour in the future), and if they are very realistic looking, then I might tuck them in with my fake bake displays.

This photo shows my bakery storage closet with the set of drawers that holds food toys.



Toy Collector

For the photo tour I pulled everything out into the front hall so I could organize between what would stay in the bakery and what would go out into the playhouse shed.  If it's in a bin then I haven't shared it yet and you will see the photos here.  If it's in the stacked drawers, then it's from the eBay haul and going out into the playhouse shed.  You can see everything from that haul post here

Here is what's in those bins:

Camping

Most of this came from Amazon, the little worms from this fishing playset, the big fish here and the campfire and s'mores I can't find in my Amazon history - they might be a Walmart find, I'm not sure.  I loved the size and shape of the toy s'mores and used them to make silicone molds from.  I then used those molds to make some s'more fake bakes.


Toy Collector
Lunch & Dinner

My favorite here is the MTC lunchmeat sandwich.  I can still remember Christmas when I was in first grade and I received this set along with a bean butt Cabbage Patch preemie doll.  I was so happy!



Toy Collector
Fast Food

Some of this is Fisher Price and some miscellaneous.  I want to collect more of the Fisher Price McDonalds.


Toy Collector
Sushi & Chinese

I hate the idea of sushi in real life, but these are too cute not to keep!


Toy Collector
Breakfast

The waffle maker is still available at Dollar tree, the milk, eggs and blueberry muffin mix are fisher price.  The mini pancakes are from a game.  I don't know what the point of the game was, I just saw it at a garage sale and bought it for the pancakes and butter toys 😄


Toy Collector
Produce

These are always so bright and cheerful!


Toy Collector
Trays

The larger trays are from Dollar Tree toy sets, the smaller one is I think Step 2.



Toy Collector
Toy Collector
Box of Chocolates


I love this set because it looks like a Valentine box of chocolates, but it's actually a preschool matching game for shapes and colors!



Toy Collector
Sweet Treats

Some Fisher Price, MTC, Dollar Tree and miscellaneous here.



Toy Collector
Cakes

The Fisher Price Fun With Food cakes in chocolate and vanilla.



Toy Collector
Ice Cream

So many ice creams!  When I was in elementary school, one of my friends had the Fisher Price ice cream container and scoops.  I wanted that set soooo badly...achievement unlocked 😎



Toy Collector
Dishes

An entire drawer of dishes, utensils and other accessories.  My favorite here is the cookie cutter set with the fake dough that you can 'cut' shapes out of.  That was a Dollar Tree find.


**********


And that's my collection of vintage food toys so far...😉

I hope you enjoyed this toy collection post, thanks for stopping by!
