I am a bad tablescaper.
I have had my head down and nose to the grindstone as of late. It wasn’t until The Partner asked me what I was going to do for this year’s Easter table that I even realized that the holiday was around the corner. I leisurely went to the calendar to see what my time-table was and BOOM – the cold hard bitch slap of reality hit. Easter is early this year – like by 3 weeks.
CRAP.
I panicked and ran around the house for a good 2 minutes babbling. Then I stopped and said my mantra “Sh*t Happens. Let It Go..” and that is what I did. I didn’t want to slap something together for the sake of having an Easter post. I would rather opt not to do a tablescape than do a bad one. Unfortunately that means that there won’t be an Easter tablescape this year but I have a great Spring tablescape I am working on that I plan on debuting soon for y’all.
However, until then, I thought it may be nice to take a stroll down memory line and look at the table I created last year…..
I think this one is my favorite tablescape I did – its bold, colorful and full of pattern. I adore it. Hopefully it gives you some inspiration to go out and do your own for this weekend……
I am off to sketch some stuff for a client! Have a great one…..
Quick note about the Joyus competition – You can vote for my room multiple times and each time you vote, you are entered to win a $1500 shopping spree from Joyus, so it pays to click especially in light that none of us won the mega lotto…..
I didn’t know you this time last year, so I’m glad you have resurrected this beautiful table setting, Courtney! The centerpiece is amazing, and I love those paper flowers!!! I had to go back and look at it several times. Very cool! Love the way you pulled the blue in the linen out with the plates. I know a lot of people would have gone with the more obvious pink and totally assassinated the table. I hope you and The Partner have a good Easter weekend and that actually have a chance to take a bit of a breather. Take care!
I was so looking forward to seeing what you came up with this year! Last year’s Easter table was a fave for me, too. I whipped mine out today…whatchuthink?? You’re still the master.
I’m putting on a big Easter dinner tomorrow and am hoping to create an awesome tablescape. I went crazy buy fresh flowers this morning…and oh, they smell so good! Anyhow, thanks for posting Easter tablescape pics! I will be using them for reference and inspiration!
