Have you ever been torn between 2 decorating styles?
You love a bright, happy, colorful look. . .
Yet, you also love a neutral, earthy look. . .
You don’t know what to do?
You are torn between 2 styles.
You can see a table covered in a white tablecloth
with bright orange placemats
and a big basket in the middle.
Yet, you can also see a rich wood table
with a linen runner
and wicker chargers.
You can see a cute bunny
set over in the big basket
with bright eggs.
Yet, you can also see a big twig branch nest
filled with green moss
and natural blue eggs.
You can see square white plates
topped with green and white napkins
(all reminiscent of a carrot)
topped with a tiny bucket
filled with chalkboard eggs.
Yet, you like the idea of the china
set on the wicker charger
with a tiny grapevine wreath for the napkin ring.
You know that the kids would love the bright table.
Yet, the adults would love the warmth of the earthy table.
Guess what?
I have found the perfect solution!
You find a friend. . .
who is looking for a decorator. . .
who has 2 tables that need to be set for Easter dinner.
Then, you decorate both of them. . .
In both styles.
Problem solved!
I still can’t believe that I get paid to decorate?!
Have I ever mentioned that I love my job?!
A big THANK YOU to Staci for allowing me to decorate her beautiful home and share these pictures!
Life to the full,

The tables look beautiful! Great job…..again!!!
that was a cute post and 2 awesome tables….thanks for sharing…I follow you via email
Both tables look very nice but I’d have to say I prefer the cheery one with the bunny etc. You only have Easter and Spring once a year. As an adult I’d sure appreciate the colors. Enjoyed both tables and the inspiration they gave me. Love that branch nest.
Happy Spring Melissa
Both tables look fabulous!
Great images, both settings turned out really beautifully.
The tables look beautiful – perfect for Spring and Easter! Love that big branch nest….how charming!
Lovin’ both styles and yes it is fun to be paid to decorate.
Blessings,
Linda
I need to find a friend or two and decorate the heck out of every square inch of their homes! Looks amazing!

Isn’t it great to have 2 tables so you can do both! Love that square orange place mat.

Both tables are wonderful, although I do love the “earthy” one best. I know you have some happy clients!!
The twig nest is such a fun and unique table center piece. I’ve never seen anything like it. Very cute!
I really like both of them. Can’t choose one over the other!
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Gorgeous table settings! Can you tell me the source for the table itself in the earthy table setting? Its just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!
Of course, the perfect solution!

I love these tables! You ARE lucky that you get to decorate for a living — how fun!
Where in the world did you find that twig nest centerpiece? I am in love with it!
I love both tables-but I really like the wooden table with the twig basket the best.
Both are fabulous. I love the easter baseket and the twig basket is fabulous also. Very pretty on both tables. Thanks for joining TTT and I hope you have a very Blessed Easter. Hugs, Marty
I’m always torn between styles which is why I just call my style eclectic. lol! They’re both so pretty and inspiring, Melissa! Happy Easter!
You know I love your sense of style! You have a knack for decorating for sure!
