At Home with Robin: My Easter Table
Who’s ready to set their tables for Easter? With Easter just around the corner, I have already pulled out my spring decorations and set my tables in anticipation.
I love setting my tables for Easter! Even if it’s just for my family, I love changing out the flowers on my porch and in my home every season with fresh and faux flowers.
Spring is a perfect time for a lush table centerpiece. Now, more than ever, there is a greater focus on home entertaining, and having a centerpiece that fits your theme or the season is once again an important element.
Select an Easter Theme or a Spring Color Theme
This year, I am doing a yellow and white cottage theme using vintage plates from both grandmothers and my small collection of teapots and pitchers.
Because I’m going with a cottage theme this spring using vintage china, I am also using pitchers to hold the flowers in.
The Collected Table Setting
I bet you have collected vintage plates, teapots, and pitchers over the years that may have been handed down from family members or you shopped stores from over the years. Now is the perfect time to bring out your vintage collection and set your table!
These Tea plates belonged to my grandmother and are perfect for my collected table setting. Because I am serving sushi and rolls I placed the wooden soy sauce bowls from China in the little cup holder on the plate.
Spring Flowers Can Lift Your Mood
There’s something magical about flowers in our homes that lifts our spirits. Spring is about fresh beginnings and rebirth. Did you know blooming flowers like tulips and orchids can lift your mood? Read more about the positive effects of flowers on your well-being here.
I wrote about the benefits of having nature help you decompress as part of wellness design. You can read about my wellness room, which I designed for the Atlanta Home for the Holiday Designer Showhouse, here.
Using real plants, faux silk flowers, teapots, and lanterns to create a colorful display on my cottage ladder bookshelf.
Create a Lush Spring Centerpiece
Create a lush spring centerpiece to welcome your guests or to enjoy by yourself.
Tip: Use a variety of vases and pitchers for your flowers. You can make them easy to remove from the table if you need more space for food or want to look at each other across the table!
Because I used spring flowers like tulips in my pitchers, it created a perfect Easter centerpiece for my table. Mix up a variety of flowers to create a garden-like effect.
Tip: Adding a variety of heights to your flowers and candles also makes for a visually appealing centerpiece.
This table setting easily transitions to Easter by sprinkling eggs among the cottage ladder bookcase and on the table. You can read about my Easter table and menu here.
Our Easter menu stays the same year after year, and I will prepare it again this year. In this post, you can see my family celebrating Easter and Livie’s first birthday.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
Hugs xxooxx
Robin,
I do love everything about your spring table setting! It is so inviting and cheerful. I hope that it may get to be used as a setting for a very happy, healthy Easter. It’s beautiful for three. Just so we are all healthy!

Thank you Rosemary.
Yes, I’m going to set my table for Easter this week as I have done every year but it’s going to stay set until I can enjoy it with my family once again.
Happy Easter my friend!
Robin
Oh Robin, how beautiful and so cheerful! I agree that we should continue to do the things that bring us joy even if we are isolated in our homes. A little non social time is a good thing. I am enjoying it now that I have settled into it! Thanks for sharing!

Robin, Your table setting was spectacular! I loved how you chose a cottage theme. Easter dinner Is a wonderful time to celebrate with those we love. I also liked the tips you offer on creating centers. Interesting and unique center pieces make great conversations.

Nancy,
You are so sweet with your lovely comments!
My porch is used a lot in the spring and summer for entertaining and it’s got that farmhouse/cottage style that is so comforting to many us us right now.
I love fresh flowers in pitchers for spring and Easter. Homestyle decor will be huge this spring as we weather the coronavirus outbreak.
Hugs,
Robin

What an incredibly beautiful table. So perfect for Spring, full of color and abundance. Stunning and those plates are soooooo cool. I love enamelware.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
We need to be as normal as possible during this shutdown.
Flowers always make me happy!
I love my grandmother’s china and tea plates, especially now.
Hugs,
Robin
Some women have the ability to creatie a cosy scène with a few things in no time. I think you and my father s wife are those women. Not me. My father s wife makes every corner in the house stylish without being stuffed! So amazing.
Nancy,
You are so kind.
I love surrounding myself with flowers so tables are a perfect way to bring joy during this time of uncertainty.
Hugs,
Robin
