I decided to set up an Easter table for fun last week! We’re hosting Easter, so I’m looking forward to that. Sometimes I set the table early so I can think through what we want to use. Do you ever do that? It helps me to prepare so I know what to wash, which linens and centerpieces I might use or what I need to add to the mix. Other times I just wing it at the last minute! That works, too.
It’s fun to mix and match dishes, patterns and colors. That’s one of the reasons I made sure we had glass cabinets and shelves and even little nooks and crannies in our renovation. We don’t have a large home or storage areas to keep a lot of stuff, but I do love to see and use pretty things I’ve collected!
This time I think we may squeeze three more around this table, so I will have to adjust my place settings! For future holidays I am going to have a second table that we can set up when we have more family here. This is another reason we wanted the banquette, so we’d have more floor space to add an extra table!
Last year we set up an Easter table with these same dishes in our construction zone, so I’ve been looking forward to having a real dining area this year. You just make the best of what you have, right? It was fun but of course I was dreaming about the completed space when I set the table in the saw dust. 🙂
Now we have our little dining area to gather in and it will be so special to make new holiday memories in this home!
Are you hosting Easter this year?
I’ll share more photos below, and you’ll find a full source list at the end of the post!
This book planter is so darling, I couldn’t pass it up. It has a drainage hole, too, if you want to plant in it. I thought it was a fun “non-traditional” springy addition to the table.
The ceramic egg is gorgeous, each section opens up so you can use it for gifts, snacks, treats or candy!
