Star Spangled Tablesetting

Who doesn’t love The 4th of July? Picnics, parties and fireworks. Forget the paper plates and plastic forks. Be kind to the environment and easy on your wallet and set a patriotic table with found objects. Decorating with red, white and blue is easy. Since I'm into indigo this year, I started with denim placemats (a bargain at Goodwill for … [Read more...]

Easter Table Setting in Blue and Orange

March 30, 2015 By Merri Cvetan Leave a Comment

This year I decided to do something totally different with my Easter table setting. Forget the traditional spring colors of pink and green, I chose the unexpected combination of blue and orange. It all started with my love affair with shades of indigo and the lovely eggs I dyed with red cabbage. (See how I did it.) I haven't use my pretty … [Read more...]

All Natural Easter Egg Dye

I have been crushing over the color Indigo all winter. None of the paint companies have proclaimed it as an "official" color of the year, but it's showing up everywhere. It's the color between blue and violet on the color wheel, but I compare it to a well-washed chambray shirt. So I was inspired to dye Easter eggs in shades of blue using natural … [Read more...]

“Dressing” Easter Eggs

April 3, 2014 By Merri Cvetan Leave a Comment

“Dressing” Easter Eggs

Have fun dressing Easter eggs with your kids this year. I'm not sure why, but fake mustaches are very popular. Personalize your eggs with markers, hats, rhinestones and mustaches! Ombré paint style is also very popular in interior design and fashion. I’ve even seen the look on fabric, wedding cakes, even fingernails. It’s a gradual change in … [Read more...]
