Easter Tablescape | A Colorful Twist On Tradition

April 5, 2019

Happy Friday friends! Today’s the day that I’m sharing my fun and colorful Easter tablescape with you. I had so much fun creating this table decor and this just might be one of my favorites of all times.

The inspiration for my table started when I was organizing my table linens. First I pulled out the table runner that Boho Luxe Home made for me for the 2017 Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour. You can see how I styled the runner for Christmas here. Then I pulled out a navy and white plaid tablecloth I got from HomeGoods. I put the two patterns together and that’s when the full vision of my table came to life.

Here’s my 2018 Easter tablescape…

Easter and spring tablescapes traditionally use pastels and soft colors, but my table puts a brighter and more colorful twist on Easter tradition.

For the place settings, I combined white plates, vintage Blue Willow plates and small blue & white bread plaid plates. I used woven placemats and bamboo silverware to add a more casual element to the table. The texture and darker tones are a nice contrast against to all the formal elements on the table.

p.s. this bamboo silverware is my absolute favorite and is such a great deal. You can snag a set or two of your own here.

I created a really fun and unusual centerpiece using this adorable resin rabbit I found at HomeGoods. When I saw him, I knew he needed to come home with me.

I sat the rabbit in the center of a pedestal bowl that I had and added flower stems to fill the bowl and the bunnies basket.

I added two blue & white ginger jars to the table along with a couple of small ceramic rabbits. And to make my tablescape even more “Eastery”, I filled tea cups with Easter grass and foil-wrapped chocolate eggs.

Instead of using a single color dinner napkin, I layered two colors together and added a brass napkin rings. You can check out the creative way I store my linen napkins here.

I just love the way my tablescape turned out. It’s so colorful and whimsical and of course has a little touch of chinoiserie which I love.

Now that my Easter table is done I’m going to start working on making Easter baskets. I’ll be sure to share them with you when I’m all done.

If you’re looking for creative Easter basket ideas I have two really fun and easy ideas for you. My DIY Easter Candy Jars perfect for kids of all ages and budget-friendly. And for the adults in your life, my Ice Bucket Easter Basket is fun to create.

Spring Entertaining: Tablescape Styling {plus tips}

March 20, 2018

One of my favorite color combinations is black and white with pops of bold color. It’s a classic statement with an edgy vibe and I love the energy that these colors create when used together. And it’s the perfect color statement for spring entertaining.

To celebrate the first day of spring, I pulled together a bold and bright spring entertaining tablescape to share with you. And I added a couple of Easter elements in too since Easter is just a few weeks away.

SPRING ENTERTAINING: BOLD & BRIGHT

Spring is the season when trees are blooming and flowers are budding so I created a beautiful flower arrangement as the centerpiece for my table. I used this gorgeous yellow chinoiserie planter that I scored at an estate sale and filled it with a mix flowers from Trader Joe’s.

Flower Arranging Tip: Use florist’s foam to keep flowers in place and constantly hydrated so they last longer. Soak the foam for 15 minutes before cutting it to fit the container. Water the foam every couple of days.

Tablescape Styling Tip: Creating contrast is a great way to give your tablescape dimension and depth. Combine colors that are opposite on the color wheel; mix matte and shiny finishes; use a variety of patterns for visual interest.

I know I’ve said it over and over, but one of the key elements of a beautiful table is the layering. I layered different plate styles to give the table a ‘collected’ but elegant look. And the black and white striped placemats add a modern and dramatic edge. Instead of using colorful glassware that would have competed with the flowers, I used clear crystal to add a touch of sparkle.

** I’ll let you in on a little secret. Those beautiful scalloped white dinner plates with the silver rim are actually plastic! Don’t they look amazing? Until you pick them up you have no idea they aren’t real china. If you want to pick up a set, I found them at Tuesday Morning.

I layered each pacesetting with my thrifted red salad plates and black and white accent pieces. The small rectangular black and white plates came from C. Wonder (I miss that store) and I got the black and white bowls through a trade resource. My red diy monogram dinner napkins add yet another pop of color.

Tablescape Styling Tip: don’t be afraid to mix different materials in creating your pacesetting. There are tons of beautiful melamine plates at HomeGoods and they can make a great layering element when combined with china.

Whenever I create a tablescape, I like to use candles as part of the centerpiece statement. The tall crystal candlesticks are from Tiffany’s and were a gift when I left Eddie Bauer to move to Atlanta. They add height and along with the stemware give that table some shine and shimmer.

I shared my newly upholstered round ottomans on IG and love the way they coordinate with the centerpiece on the table. The floral fabric is one of my all-time favorite budget fabric finds. You can purchase it here and you won’t believe the price.

To give the table a nod to Easter, I nestled two ceramic bunnies on each side of the centerpiece and tied a pink bow around their next. The bunnies were a Target dollar spot find from last year.

There you have it–lots of spring tablescape inspiration, and a few styling tips to help you pull your table together.

Cheers to spring and happy entertaining!

Furniture Fave: Acrylic Console Tables

March 27, 2017

Cheers to a new week! Did everyone have a great weekend? I started the weekend working with a client and then spent the rest of Saturday running errands and trying to get my desk organized. I spent a good part of Sunday working, doing laundry and getting ready for our road trip. We’ll be hitting the road on Thursday morning headed to Texas and the RoundTop Antique Market. I’m beyond excited to shop RoundTop again, spend time with friends and make our pilgrimage to the Silos in Waco. I’ll be sharing my adventures on Instagram so hop over and follow me if you don’t already.

The goal for the next few days is to see just how much time I can squeeze out of the day and get checked off my to-do list! Wish me luck.

Today I wanted to share a little about one of my favorite furniture pieces–acrylic console tables. I’ve been a fan of acrylic furniture for some time and love the clean, crisp look a piece of acrylic adds to a room. In the process of researching an acrylic console tables for a client, I’ve come across several style options and a range of prices. In general, acrylic can be expensive because the price of plastic has risen over the last few years. But, I’ve found the best deal at CB2, the sister company to Crate and Barrel.

The Peekaboo Console Table is available in two sizes–38″ which sells for $379 and the 56″ which retails for $699. In addition to the price, I love the thick molded acrylic and the waterfall design.

Acrylic console tables work perfectly in a large room with lots of furniture. The clear material adds dimension without creating additional visual clutter. And the waterfall design adds a modern touch.

For my clients project, we’re planning to nest a couple of upholstered stools underneath which will provide additional seating and visual interest.

Here are a few other ways you can decorate with acrylic tables…

Blue and White Spring Tablescape

March 23, 2016

Don’t you just love spring? The bright colors, beautiful flowers, birds chirping and all that sunshine. Spring is one of my favorite times of year and the season always pushes my creativity to new heights. Over the weekend as I was moving the accessories around, the creative bug hit and I decided to pull together a spring tablescape featuring blue and white.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared seasonal table decor with you so I’m excited to unveil my Blue & White Spring Tablescape!

Blue and white tablescapes have always caught my eye but until recently I never owned enough blue and white decor to create one of my own table setting. Over the last year or so I’ve collected a handful of blue and white porcelain pieces and together with some new items I picked up recently, my spring table was easy to pull together. Let’s take a look…

Setting a pretty table is one of my favorite things to do and Pinterest supplies me with an abundance of creative ideas and inspiration. I’m typically not one to decorate with pastels but this gorgeous table decor felt like the perfect Valentine’s Day table setting. It exudes elegance but it’s not fussy. And I just love the warmth the mix of pinks and gold creates. With all this beautiful inspiration, I thought I’d show you how easy it is to recreate this look for Valentine’s or whatever special occasion you might be celebrating…

Silk Flower Arrangement // Gold Charger Plate // Brass Taper Candle Holders // Glass Votive Holders—1/2/3

Luminous Coupe Dinnerware // Gold Flatware // Pink Linen Napkins

Metal and Glass Terrarium //Pink Wine Glasses

♥♥♥

Three Styling Tips for an Elegant Table:

♥ Gold and metallic finishes will make the entire table feel more expensive

♥ For a dramatic centerpiece, arrange flowers to fill the table side to side and top to bottom

♥ Create layers with candles using different size, shapes and styles of candle holders

What’s great about all of these items is that they can easily be mixed and matched with seasonal decor to create a table for Easter, a ladies luncheon or even a New Year’s Eve celebration.

If you were creating this Valentine’s Day table for two, how would you put your own spin on the decor?

Eclectic Spring Tablescape

April 19, 2014

Happy Saturday!

It’s kind of a lazy day around my parts. I’m still getting caught up on laundry from my trip and working on setting up new items in my Etsy shop. Yesterday I was going to share a simple and eclectic tablescape I pulled together to celebrate spring and Easter but the day was gloomy and getting a decent picture was not in the cards. The sky today is still dreary but I was able to capture a few shots of the table.

I love to style tabletops and during the spring and summer eclectic and colorful is my style of choice.

For this spring centerpiece I used a collection of vintage and new pieces I had around the house.

The tulips and round greenery sphere are placed in a vintage trophy urns and a two large mercury glass balls are displayed under a glass cloche I picked up at a sample sale.

For the place setting I used black and white striped placemats from Ikea and a mix of plates from Target and HomeGoods. I made the polka dot napkins.

To add a pop of color, I filled a twig birds nest with colorful felt balls. The brass bird-cage adds to the eclectic mix.

We’re not doing anything major for Easter brunch but I will be adding a special Easter touch to the table tomorrow. I’ll pop in tomorrow and share it with you.

Easy and Stylish Last Minute Easter Decor Ideas

April 17, 2014

Hello there! I’m back from my trip to DC and getting back in the swing of work and blogging. My trip was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to share the photos with you. While I’m sorting through photos and doing laundry, I thought I’d bring you a few quick and easy Easter décor ideas since the big day is this Sunday.

I don’t do much decorating for Easter but I do like to have a touch of the holiday on my dining table. Ideas like these are super easy and quick to pull together and will definitely welcome Easter morning in style.

Paint, stickers or a little decoupage work and you can create a fun assortment of designer Easter eggs. I love the idea of creating a mix that matches your décor and not a traditional mix of pastels.

Blue and White Eggs

If you’re hosting Easter breakfast or dinner, this is an easy way to decorate the table. Use your paper shredder to create a bundle of paper that can be formed into the shape of a nest and then add a letter sticker to the outside of a plastic Easter egg. Cute and simple.

Monogram Egg

Looking for an Easter centerpiece idea? How about combining glass candlesticks, paper flowers and plastic eggs to create these cute Easter egg flowers.

Tip: If you don’t already own clear glass candlesticks, head to Dollar General where you’ll find different styles and sizes.

Easter Egg Flowers

I started collecting mis-matched egg cups and thing this would be a really great way to put them to use. Use decorative craft scissors to scallop the edge of cupcake liners to get the look of flower petals.

Candy Filled Egg Cups

Flowers are a must for Easter and the simple addition of plastic eggs to line the vase or container will turn your stems into a pretty Easter arrangement. What’s also great about this is that come Monday all you have to do is remove the eggs and enjoy the flowers for the rest of the week.
