Setting the Stage

Creating the perfect backdrop to your Easter celebration just might involve flowers, pom poms, tassels and pillows. You know, all of the essentials! Let’s start with some flower power. This gorgeous pastel Easter table idea from Sugar & Cloth is filled with blush tones, but our favorite feature is the spread of color-blocked floral arrangements. Try grouping blooms by color to make a big impact on your Easter table:

Who says all of the Easter fun has to be confined to the tabletop? This DIY Bunny Pillow from Kailo Chic is easier to put together than you might think. And since faux fur is already one of today’s top trends, this decorative accent will be in style any time of the year!

Also from Kailo Chic is this DIY Pom Pom Tassel Easter Egg Wreath, featuring irresistible pom poms created with fine Omegacryl yarn. And we can’t forget the tassels in shades of orange and pink:

When it comes to the centerpiece of your Easter table, why not let the baskets and eggs have the spotlight? If you have little ones, the baskets will be on display anyway, right? Not to mention, basket and egg projects are crafting favorites. Ready for some fluffy style? It’s pom pom time! Using a simple natural Easter basket and (mostly) bulky gauge wool roving yarn, a subtle yet abundant look is created. Bring on the jumbo pom poms! You can check out this tutorial right here at Decoist:

For a retro-modern take on Easter egg style, why not give these Perler Bead Easter Eggs from A Subtle Revelry a try? The design possibilities are endless. Stuff them in Easter baskets, scatter them across the table, use them to create a garland, and more!

Add some texture to your Easter eggs by dyeing them with colored rice. Food coloring, tupperware and long-grain white rice are all you need to get the job done. And the hard-boiled eggs, of course! Get all the details at A Subtle Revelery:

For another creative idea that results in a textured look, use red cabbage to dye the eggs. Yes, they turn out blue! For details on achieving the various shades of blue and adding that gorgeous gold speckle, head on over to HonestlyYUM.

There’s nothing easier than taking craft paint and a paintbrush to your eggs and free-handing the design of your choice! Who’s up for a little bit of ’80s style?! Make it easy by using pre-painted wooden eggs as a base, or you can use hard-boiled eggs as well. Once again, you can find the DIY details right here at Decoist:

For one last Decoist tutorial with Easter flair, you won’t believe how easy it is to decorate plastic eggs with puffy stickers. Let your creativity take center stage (this project has an instant wow factor), and enjoy bringing these eggs out year after year.

Food and Beverages

While food and beverages aren’t your typical DIY territory, they certainly provide plenty of opportunities for creativity. Take this 24 Carrot Cocktail Recipe, which is as tasty as it is festive. The mini carrot garnish is what really gives this drink its signature look. Carrot juice and vodka are a couple of the star ingredients. Get the full recipe at Sugar & Cloth:

And speaking of carrots, they’re as colorful and lovely as they are delicious. Don’t hesitate to have fun arranging, preparing and garnishing them for an actual dish to serve guests. For more about how to cook with spring’s best ingredients, head on over to Camille Styles.

How adorable are these Easter Bunny Marshmallows from Oh Joy!? By pre-cutting and gluing the little bunny ears to toothpicks, you can easily have the kids help you dunk the marshmallows in melted white chocolate, dip them in sprinkles, then add the ears for an instantly precious (and tasty) treat:

We at Decoist love a good garland, so it’s no surprise that we’ve flipped for this DIY Felted Carrot Bunting. Its small size makes those felted carrots easy to create, and this colorful addition has the power to transform any cake into the perfect Easter centerpiece. Check out the tutorial at Kailo Chic:

We wish you and yours a colorful Easter, filled with delicious food and quality time with the people you care about!

  • Spring Road Residence

    This 7,000 sf house is nestled on a heavily wooded hilltop site in Ross, CA with breathtaking views of Mt. Tam and the San Francisco Bay over native California Oaks in one direction and the town of Ross through majestic old-growth redwoods in the other. The parti is a composition of simple volumes that maximizes a sense of openness to these views while maintaining privacy from neighbors and creating distinct zones within the property. Materials were carefully selected to strike a balance between a precise modernist language and the woodsy pastoral sensibility of this Northern California site. The volumes are clad in a terracotta rainscreen with rheinzink fascias. Custom aluminum doors and windows have extremely minimal sightlines. The landscape design was carefully considered to create different outdoor experiences to enhance the house. The floating master suite volume pushes out over the main living volume towards the canyon and views. The main dining kitchen area opens up to a lush lawn while the main living space steps down from a concrete plinth onto a wood floor that extends outdoors to a wood deck and anchored by a linear fire element. Guest rooms face the concrete terrace and look out over the mirror surface of an infinity edge lap pool hovering two inches above deck level. A fountain conceived as an 18″-high monolithic volume of water is visible from the entry and doubles as a spa. A home theater is located in the basement and a separate volume houses a gym area with a spa and an office for the owner’s business and his employees complete with its own private deck.

  • Creek House

    Set amidst a volcanic boulder field in a pine and fir forest, Creek House is a family retreat that inhabits an existing outcrop clearing at the edge of the spring fed Martis Creek. Near the base of Lookout Mountain at Northstar California Resort, the house is conceived in plan as three directional bars that slide between and alongside the boulders and trees. The largest contains the main living areas and sleeping quarters. A margin sized bar houses the entry and support spaces and connects the third bar that contains a tandem, drive-through garage to the house. A south facing, 140-foot long, insulated concrete wall demarks the spaces longitudinally and situates the house in the mountainous terrain.   A shift of the major bar to the west over the natural downslope of the site earns two requested rock gardens. The garden to the east is open to the sky and built into the void left by the displacement, with building height concrete walls retained to provide privacy for the master bedroom.  The gravel surface, set with site native basalt stones and framed with water, can be viewed only through a low, three-dimensional glass box that allows the garden to penetrate the room. A rectangular basin captures snow melt to create a protective and ephemeral pool of water around this most private area of the house. The second garden to the west lives under the cantilevered house that shields the lower level from the west sun and contains the largest boulders of the site. A glazed hallway floor above reveals a dramatic drop in the topography and car sized boulders. At the top of the slope, the one-story horizontal form presents a closed and secure face to the northwestern street exposure. Fire resistive steel rain screens and tempered glazing inhabit the territories earned by the concrete wall. The mass heavy house is designed as a long thin rectangle that faces the sun to maximize solar exposure during winter and minimize heat gain from the west and east in summer. The house is cooled by prevailing breezes that flow up and through the house from the west. Radiantly heated bluestone floors, solar assisted domestic hot water and LED electric light further reduce energy demands.
