Easter Kitchen Tour

Are you all dressed up for Easter?

Here at Purple Chocolat Home, 

we have started our Easter decor.  

Today I am going to take you to see

some of the Easter that fills the kitchen -

the heart of our home.

This is the center of my large baking cabinet, 

and it is probably my favorite place to decorate

in the kitchen besides the center of the island.

There is always something here that represents

the season, or holiday, or just my love of baking

and dishes.

My MacKenzie Childs canisters were my first

MacKenzie Childs purchase, and they usually

reside right here.

I found these darling MacKenzie Childs egg shaped

candles this year and they fit perfectly into my little 

egg cups.

They just might stay up after Easter comes down,

they look so cute here with the canisters.

Years ago my neighbor and friend found these

vintage chocolate molds at an ice cream 

shop and bought them for me, knowing 

my love for making chocolates.  

She decided she would like some too and 

went back to the store to buy some more

and they said they were no longer for sale.

I was tickled I got these.  They always come

out for Easter.

These imitation chocolate bunnies always

come out too.  I will be making some chocolate

bunnies closer to Easter, but these never melt

or go bad.  Of course little ones always want

to try and take a bite.

A couple of moss covered bunnies are also

placed here.  I love how soft and furry, yet

organic they look.

I love that we installed lighting in this

area.  It accents whatever is on display so well.

Next we go to the center of the kitchen

island.  There is always a fun display here

too.  

The centerpiece here is my chippy white three-tiered

tray that I use for everything.  It is filled with 

eggs that I decoupaged, glass eggs, and pink

crystal eggs.

Right next to it is my giant Edelweiss Chocolate Bunny

that my friend hand carried home for me from Los Angeles.

Hubby keeps bugging me to let him eat it.  Maybe next

year, but only if he will replace it.  I think chocolate 

bunnies were always my favorite on Easter morning.

The Valentine's tree quickly transforms to

an Easter tree to grace the kitchen.

This Easter wreath that I purchased at the

Holy Cow Boutique used to be on my

front door, but since it is almost all paper

crafting, I moved it inside and it is the

center point of the tree.

The boutique has their spring and Easter show

this week.  I hope to find some more of this 

woman's work.  

I looked last year, but didn't find anything.

I am going first thing when it opens, just

in case I was too late last year.

It is just a treasure trove of beautifully

crafted pieces.

Mama and daughter Kitchenaids 

fill one corner of the counter

and a little Easter bowl accents them.

There isn't a whole lot new in the kitchen

this year, but I still enjoy arranging everything

in new ways.  This little guy is new though,

and he quite charms me!

Thanks for coming to visit to see my Easter kitchen.

I hope you are having fun decorating too.
