So here's what I'm starting with ... a blank canvas for the most part. This pub-height table typically looks like this (maybe with a little stack of mail taking over a corner, ha!).
I started out by getting some plastic eggs. I picked up this pastel-colored pack from the Dollar Tree ($1) and I also had a pack of white eggs from Hobby Lobby ($0.50).
Add to the mix -- four somewhat creepy-looking bunnies ($4 total) from Dollar Tree.
I wanted to incorporate these precious egg cups from Homegoods ($5) into the mix.
And I knew one of my favorite vases (a wedding gift from sweet Misty) would make a pretty centerpiece.
Only issue at this point? As cute as the pastels are, I just didn't think that those colors would jive with the rest of our home decor.
Enter a new friend: Krylon's 18kt. Gold Plate metallic spray paint. I picked this up from Hobby Lobby using my 40% off coupon on their iPhone app.
One warm-ish evening after my walk with Drake, I got to spray paintin'. Thank goodness for Ian's access to these big medical cloths ... they are perfect for projects like this.
I put the gold bunnies on top of green napkins, and the golden eggs went into the egg cups and into the large vase in the center of the table. I added glasses and plates that I already had. Lastly, dried sprigs from Old Time Pottery ($1.99) went into the center vase.
It was also time to add a little greenery to our corner, so I got a new houseplant for us. It just needs to be raised a little bit so it takes up a little more visual room.
Here's a little before and after to show the changes to the table.
I love how this little table turned out, and I'll be sad when Easter is over!
Do you decorate for Easter?
