Garden Room Sitting Area and Easter on a Tray

Hello Friends and Welcome to the Easter On A Tray Blog Tour, hosted by our sweet friend, Katherine, from Katherine's Corner. Are you ready for some fun and inspiration on how to do a quick nod to any holiday or season? You'll see some wonderful ideas on how to decorate a small space or add a beautiful compact decor vignette with just a few items. 

If you're coming from Debbie Styles Life I'm extending a special "Hello"; I'm so glad you've come by to visit and are continuing with the Tour. Last Fall Katherine thought sharing ideas for seasons and holidays by decorating a "tray" would be fun and inspirational. And guess what?... there are so many ways and areas around the house that a tray works to brighten up a small space with some holiday magic.

Today I'm here in the Garden Room, our large sunroom at the back of the house. It faces Southeast so it always has great light and has become a bit of a "studio" for me. Since lighting is always an issue with photos, I can count on this spot to be the perfect place to grab a quick photo or style a larger vignette. On one end we have our casual eating area with a farmtable and china cupboard and on the opposite end, a small sitting area with my Holiday Cupboard, wicker settee and chair and a baker's rack. I love old quilts, blankets and pillows so this spot gets a seasonal and holiday refresh frequently.

My Easter tray is here in the sitting area on a coffeetable/bench my dad made for me back in the 90's. This is a little scalloped wooden tray that I use throughout the year. I love to decorate a tray for a coffee table display or use it on the kitchen island as a handy spot for a little holiday decor. 

My Easter tray has a vintage garden theme this year with a vintage cutout rabbit, old garden tools, vintage wooden berry baskets, and some springtime ivy teacups. Using a tray keeps stray smalls (which I love to use) from getting lost in the vignette. The vintage glass bunny is nestled in some green raffia "grass". He pops up for a cameo each Easter.

This little berry basket holds some seed packets, old mini clay pots, 

fabric carrots from HL and a couple of fuzzy little chicks.

A vintage ironstone tureen is a bit larger anchor piece. It's not too big as many tureens are, but more of a covered veggie size. A small potted faux paperwhite, and a vintage sacred postcard round out the fun vintage items.

The large Homer Laughlin vintage ironstone pitcher 

is filled with live forsythia branches from our yard.

The Holiday Cupboard here in the sitting area, is filled with fun Easter pieces, springtime ivy dishes and green transferware. You can see the Holiday Cupboard dressed up for Easter HERE

During Spring and the Easter season I love to use lighter colors and pastels, like this vintage Tumbling Blocks quilt and floral pillows. The Buffalo Check pillow covers can be found on Amazon in a bunch of different colors.

With the doors of the cupboard closed, a bright springtime wreath

 is a pretty accessory with faux forsythia, lilacs and tulips.
