Good Morning Lacquered Lifers! It’s that time of year again, time to start planning my Easter table. I was talking to someone the other day, and when I told them that Easter was my favorite holiday to host they looked a bit confused, and then I explained that Easter is the best because there is less stress and pressure associated with it than with other holidays. There is no specific set menu like Thanksgiving, and there isn’t the pressure of opening gifts like at Christmas. Easter is just a fun daytime meal with family and friends filled with pretty colors and the feeling of excitement that only the arrival of spring can bring. 
I had so much fun putting together my Easter table last year, and while I definitely plan on using elements of that table – I’m always on the lookout for new things to incorporate. On my radar right now? Some of my go to sources for table decoration. Up first? Linens.
I just discovered these wonderful Garden Gate napkins from Pomegranate Inc. Inspired by the garden club of Lexington, KY they will be perfect on your Easter table or at your next garden party!
Over the years, my go to source for linens has been Roberta Roller Rabbit, and I really love this new pattern, Bronte.
For a simple and rustic look for your Easter table, look no further than this Eyelet Tablecloth from Terrain. Allow your brightly colored Easter china to stand out!
And another goody from Roberta Roller Rabbit is the Larissa tablecloth – one of RRR’s less busy looks, I really like the different flowers and their colors. Looks like spring!
Good Morning Lacquered Lifers! Today I share a very cool piece of architecture with really wonderful interiors. Designed by Aaron Hojman, Casa Zinc, located in Uruguay is a guest house clad with corrugated zinc, which the designer salvaged from abandoned barns throughout Uruguay. Every piece of this house has been salvaged from elsewhere, giving the interior of this otherwise brand new home the historic feel of one that has been there for a long time. There are pieces throughout the house from hotels, pharmacies, railway stations, warehouses, which have been given new life by their incorporation into Casa Zinc. While this project is not on a whole a preservation project, the preservation and rescue of all these architectural elements certainly warrants the appreciation of preservationists! If not for Hojman and his quest to salvage all these parts and build Casa Zinc, many of these decorative architectural elements would have been lost.
