Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Spring Entertaining with Shades of Pink

March 4, 2019 our home

Spring Entertaining with Shades of Pink 13

Happy Monday all! I couldn’t be more thrilled to start sharing a series of spring posts this next month as Spring/Summer are truly my favorite seasons to enjoy. I crave the sounds of chirping birds, bright sunshine and subtle warm breezes. And today is all about spring as I join Lory from Designthusiasm for her Styled + Set Entertaining Tours. Welcome to those of you who are visiting from Sheila at Maison de Cinq. Sheila is a sweetheart, with such a beautiful elegant home! For my table, I wanted to create a spread that was ready for entertaining during the spring with some pretty shades of pink!

I seem to be smitten with Easter eggs… I have to find a way to incorporate them into my spring decor some way and somehow… lol. So I did just that with these little pastel decor eggs. I put them into these little wooden candleholders I found at the craft store. They making the perfect holder and you could even glue them into place if you wanted them there permanently.

Next, I knew that I wanted some shades of pink to really add a splash of color for the season. I can pretty much guarantee that tulips will spend their entire blooming season here in our house too. They are such an easy flower plus they are so beautiful!

It is still pretty bare outside, but one of the best things about spring entertaining is that there is so much beauty to enjoy outdoors. As flowers spring forth and greenery takes over…

This was my first official time setting our round dining table for a tablescape and I had so much fun. I wanted the setting to be simple, but festive at the same time.

I envisioned a brunch time meal maybe with an egg dish of sorts and a crisp prosecco. Fruits and cheeses would be a fun addition (if you can have cheese, unlike us… haha!) A girl can dream right ;)?!

Linen napkins round the table and give that relaxed, elegant feel I just love so much about linen. Maybe that is why my whole house seems to be covered in linen these days. I just love having a relaxed, inviting environment when it comes to all things “home”. I seriously hope that is the feeling it evokes when friends/family gather here.

Here is a better view of the entire look pulled all together.

Like I was just saying about carefree decor, I really like my flower arrangements to be the same. They are right up my alley when they are droopy, a little misshaped, and free flowing! The black and white faux anemones help break up the pink a bit too (yes I incorporate faux into my real arrangements often). I think that they add a little whimsy to a pretty traditional arrangement as well.

I like entertaining most when things are kept simple….

Spring Entertaining with Shades of Pink

I do best when I can have as much prepared ahead of time as possible. I try to set the table the day before or morning of if I can. Same with the florals, I try to do something that we can enjoy a day or two before and then a couple days after. For food, I find it always works best to make something that can be baking as guests arrive. I have done meals where I am hovering over the stove and that just gets too stressful. It takes away from the event (for me personally, I am sure some people are really good at that though). I try to avoid doing everything the day of, so I can focus on the fun with the people we are having it with!

Anyhow, I hope that this little pink themed table setting and some of my entertaining tips are helpful as we approach spring! I love getting to share my ideas with you all and hope you will head back later this week for some more!

    Love your new round table, Annie! I showed my daughter your chairs because she wants the same style – only in black. Your flower arrangements are always imperfectly perfect. So pretty.

    It’s so gorgeous! And I am exactly the same I’m so many ways. I use faux greens and florals I’ve collected to save money, generally set the table up the day before, as well as do as much food prep as possible the day before or morning if so I can ideally just pop things in the oven and enjoy the company! Thanks for the spring table inspiration!

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
