Dining Room Holidays

A Pink and Green Easter Table

hr 644

Easter is tied with Christmas as Eleanor’s favorite holiday. She likes the traditions surrounding the day — dyeing eggs, waking up to see what the Easter bunny brought, and spending time with family — so she was pretty excited about putting up these decorations.

My focus was mainly in the dining room, but the entryway got a spring update with a new pink champagne scented candle along with some speckled eggs and a vintage robin.

I used more speckled eggs in the dining room, along with plenty of bunnies.

Moss Easter Bunny

The two standing moss bunnies came with raffia ribbon around their necks, but I removed it and added my own. I’ve also got a matching sitting moss bunny on the way that will get the same simple change.

A Pink and Green Easter Table

Those green napkins on the table have proven their versatility. I bought them for Christmas, and you saw them last month too. Here, they tie in with the mossy green bunnies and the leaf plates, and the green is bold enough to stand up to the pastel pink of the plates and glasses.

The pink pressed-glass goblets are new. I spotted them in the store and wondered if it would be overkill to add them to my table settings since I already decorate with so much pink. Nope! They are excellent. They come in blue too, if pink isn’t your thing, and I also liked these clear hobnail glass goblets. And any of the three would pair well with either pressed-glass or these hobnail glass tumblers.

Cabbage Leaf Plates

A jute runner was layered over a solid tablecloth, and the I set the table with our everyday dinner plates (of course ours are pink) and silverware. I alternated my leafy green plates that I’ve had for years with new cabbage leaf plates. I think those are going away soon, so if you’re as into them as I am, don’t wait.

Pink and Green Easter Dining Table

Since I set my table up already to take photos and share them here, I’m leaving everything up through Easter. The kids have been pretty excited because we get to eat “at the pretty table” and I have to admit, I like it too. Far better than the medley of toys that otherwise find their way over to the room!

Pier 1 has a new feature on their site showing how people have decorated with their finds once they get them home — a gallery of their favorite Instagram pictures tagged with #Pier1Love. I always like to see different takes on the same item or idea, so it’s been fun checking out how other people might use the same things but in different ways. Lots of bunnies are making appearances right now! Check it out for some new ideas, and tag your own photos for a chance to be featured.

    Those pink goblets are so so pretty! Several years ago I had the opportunity to receive a set of 14 pink vintage goblets from my grandmother and in a fit of minimalism, that I’m still kicking myself for, I PASSED ON THEM! I did receive a gorgeous 1960s dresser and a few other things, and the goblets went to a clearer thinking cousin, so it’s not a complete loss, BUT STILL! Pink goblets, kind of an essential piece for any dining room.

    So pretty! I love those moss bunnies, but I’m wondering if they’ll seem gigantic on my table. The sitting bunny seems more do-able, but he’s not available at my local store – or any, locally, it seems.
