Hello friends!  I hope you’re all having a good week so far!  And that you enjoyed Easter weekend.  I can’t believe it’s already Thursday.. where did this week go?  I feel a little silly saying it has felt busy but it kind of has.. just a different kind of busy!  I feel like we are really getting into a rhythm and routine with this whole stay at home gig.  This is a sad and hard time in general, but there are definitely aspects of it that I will miss when it’s all behind us.  I’m trying to focus on the positive which is getting to spend more time with my family.  This was our Easter dinner table this year.  Cozy and simple with just the five of us. :)

I’ve had a lot of questions about sources after sharing my table on IG and most of the exact items I used have sold out, but I found almost identical options and linked them all above!  Aren’t these similar pink scalloped plates cute!?  I love them paired with gingham plates for Spring and Summer dining.  We had such a nice day together as a family.  I’ve always dreamed about church in pj’s and finally got my wish. ;)

Now my table is back to normal and ready for Spring!  I thought I’d share a quick design tip with you because it’s something I find myself repeating all the time!  Especially in my kitchen.  It’s a simple combo of pairing a vase with flowers next to a wooden bowl (often with fruit!).  Nothing revolutionary but I repeat this ALL the time and it always looks good!  I love a pretty vase next to a wooden bowl and fruit is easy, inexpensive (and practical!) decor.

You can see I did this again in this corner of my counter.  A white vase with faux peonies next to a wooden bowl full of lemons.  So happy for Spring!

This is my cute new Target vase!  Loving it in my kitchen right now next to.. wait for it.. a wooden bowl full of fruit! :)  These hydrangeas are real (white hydrangeas are my favorite flower so I snatch them up at the grocery store when they have pretty options!) but I also have these faux hydrangeas in my bedroom and they are a great option if you don’t want to have to keep replacing them.

No fruit this time but I’ve done basically the same thing here in my family room.  Vase, flowers, wooden tray.  Beads are a great option in bowls/trays in the living and family room!  These are some of my favorite decor beads..

I love pairing this small dough bowl with tall clear vases.  And fruit!  Green apples are so fun for this time of year and my kids love them. :)

More clear vases paired with a wooden tray.  Ok.. you get the picture!  I do this combo all the time.  Easy decorating that always works.  A happy little design tip to cheer up our kitchens while we are all hanging out in them so much!

Speaking of happy things in the kitchen.. I just got this beautiful marble tray and love it with a little plant and salt & pepper shakers!

I ordered it in January and totally forgot I had ordered it.. ha!  Not sure why it was delayed so long but as soon as I saw it in person I got on-line and ordered the large size too (on sale!).  SO beautiful.  I love it in my kitchen but think it would also be beautiful in a bathroom.  Now I’m going to try to forget I ordered it because that was so fun getting happy unexpected mail. ;)

I’ll be back soon with some fun organizing progress going on around here!  In the meantime.. stay safe,  stay healthy, wear your mask and buy some fruit.

We’ve got this.

:)
