Easter Screened Porch Spring Tour With Shiplap Tree
If you are looking for porch decorating inspiration, you will see it on today’s Decorating the Screened Porch for Easter tour. It all began with the DIY Shiplap Tree. I can’t wait for you to see how cute everything looks.
We usually store the tree after Christmas, but we left it on the screened porch this year. When I pulled out the box of Easter bunnies, they all just hopped right onto the branches of the tree. Well, almost!! LOL
Decorating the Screened Porch for Easter
First, I have a good collection of small Easter bunnies!
Instead of spreading them all around the house, I decided to decorate the DIY Shiplap Tree with them.

My husband built this tree our first year we were living at The Ponds, and I’ve used it on the screened porch for Christmas ever since.
In this previous post, I shared all the details on How to Make a Shiplap Tree for yourself.
With no clear plan, I asked my husband to leave it up this year, and now I know why.
In addition to the bunnies, I used Easter eggs and faux stems to fill in the branches. The twinkle lights from Christmas, which were still strung on the tree.
The Coffee Table for Easter
The coffee table my dad built over 60 years ago is beside the shiplap tree.
It’s filled with more Spring & Easter Décor that I have used in different areas of the house in previous years.
Spring Pillow Update
Next, I updated the pillows on the porch for Spring.
I’m so excited to have the gorgeous Spring Pillows from Uniike Pillows. They have such great designs at reasonable prices.
Comfortable Seating
The screened porch is a favorite spot for relaxing at the end of the day, and comfortable seating is a must. The woven outdoor sofa and chairs are filled with comfy cushions, pillows, and throw blankets.
Screened Porch Dining Area For Easter
Y’all know I love styling a table for any season, but Easter is especially fun. I’m constantly changing my table setting during the season.
This year, I’m using items I’ve had for a couple of seasons and thrifted items. Nothing new here this year! Two vintage birdhouses rest on milk glass and a crystal cake plate. The bunny salt and pepper shakers are the only items not thrifted.
The DIY funnel light fixture is filled with faux spring blooms to brighten the table area. Cute thrifted bunny napkin rings hold hand-crocheted doilies repurposed as napkins, which rest on fun black-and-white bunny plates. The woven green place mats were another lucky thrifting find.
If you’d like to see more about my thrifting adventures, join me for THRIFTING WITH THE GALS. This group of vintage-loving friends also share a blog post once a month where we recap our month and share how to use your thrifted finds. See the latest post here.
Serving Areas for Spring
The baker’s rack is a beautiful serving area when I host brunch or dinner on the porch, but it is also fun to style for spring.
A combination of faux tulips, vintage soda bottles, and garland gives it the perfect Spring vibe.
In addition, the vintage ice box holds dinner plates and glassware. It makes a perfect beverage station for entertaining.
Screened Porch Life
This year, we covered our porch with vinyl panels, which has made it so enjoyable so far.
Ending the day with twinkle lights and a candle glow is so relaxing.

I love your porch and how you’ve styled it for Easter! What a great spot you have for relaxing and dining. You were so smart to leave your shiplap tree in place after Christmas. It’s perfect decorated with your bunnies and other spring things. I love how you “planted” the tree in an antique iron kettle. Every time I visit your blog, I leave with so many ideas for decorating with antique and vintage treasures. One of these days you need to come my way to go antiquing. There are some great places to shop in my neck of the woods.
Paula,
You are so sweet. I would love to do that. Let me know when it’s convenient. LOL
Rachel – Such a beautiful room. You must have a warehouse full of decorative creations. So fresh and light and appealing.
Even a sad person would light up and smile walking into your home, not a house, but a home.
Diana,
Thank you for these encouraging words. I appreciate you for following along.
Love the porch! Easter tree is just beautiful great job!!
Debbie,
Thanks so much. I appreciate you for stopping by.
Rachel, I absolutely love how you decorated your porch for spring. Can I tell you a little secret? I’ve always wanted a screened porch. My grandparents had one, and we spent so much time out there, spring, summer, and fall, and we celebrated so many wonderful milestones. I can only imagine that yours is a happy place too. I adore that shiplap tree and your spring pillows are delightful.
Shawna,
This is my first screened porch and it was on my bucket list of must haves in my forever home.
Oh my goodness, Rachel – that shiplap tree is absolutely amazing! And I love how you perfectly styled it this season! What a cozy porch you have!
Jennifer,
I really appreciate your comments. Thanks for stopping by.
Your screened-in porch is so gorgeous, Rachel. I love how you have it styled for spring. What a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee, the sunshine, and all of the pretty spring blooms. Pinned!
Jen,
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I love your porch!! It must be a wonderful spot for your morning coffee!
Jennifer,
We do love our porches. Thanks so much.
Very Beautiful. I love the birdhouses.
Rebecca,
Thanks so much.
Rachel you already know I LOVE your shiplap tree! It looks so pretty decorated for Spring and Easter. And guess what? I have the same bunny plates as yours except mine are green and white. Everything is so pretty. Thanks for joining the tour this week!
Oh Kelly,
Thanks so much for hosting this event. It’s so much fun.
Rachel your porch is just so pretty and cozy! I’d love to sit and have a glass of wine and chat the evening away there. I need a shiplap tree in my life! I loved it for Christmas and didn’t think I could love it as much for Easter but I do!
AnnMarie,
Thanks so much sweetie,
Rachel your porch looks gorgeous! And I really love how you decorated your shiplap tree for spring! what a cute idea! xoxo
Stacy,
You are so sweet and thanks so much.
What a great porch and it is definitely ready for spring! We have always wanted to add one at our house. I love the way you styled your shiplap tree for Easter! Enjoy following you and all your pretty home decor and vintage finds!
Kim,
Thank you so much for your sweet comments. The screened porch was a bucket list for me. This is our forever home and my last chance to have one. I hope you get one at some point. We certainly love ours.
Hello from Southern Oregon! We have a covered porch that we’d love to screen and I’m wondering if you could tell me how you did the vinyl panels on your porch? Originally I’m from Ontario, Canada right on Lake Erie and screened porches are quite the necessity back home due to all the bugs that proliferate around the lakes…so, your porch reminded me of home! Thanks for the inspiration!
Kimberly,
We love our screened porch and by adding the vinyl covering, we can enjoy it year round. We have terrible pollen in the Spring and the panels will keep most of that outside. The panels will come down as soon as the pollen season is over. Thank you so much for stopping by.
What a beautiful place to be, anytime of day! Think I’d have a hard time getting anything done, enjoying your view! Such a creative idea to put your bunnies on the tree! And love how you hung the flowers from the funnel light. That old icebox is so cool! So fun to see your home decorated for Spring!
Lora,
You are so sweet and I really appreciate your sweet compliments.
How fun is that shiplap tree, I love it!! Your screened porch is absolutely lovely all decorated for spring. I love the little bunnies tucked in everywhere!
Leen,
I really appreciate your comments and thanks so much for stopping by.
I would love having a screened porch to decorate! So beautiful Rachel.
Kim,
It was a bucket list when we were building.
Everything looks so beautiful and festive for Spring! Pinned!
Ana,
I really appreciate this.
Every space is so refreshing and cozy! I especially love the view from your screened-in porch!
Thanks for sharing your home. I truly enjoyed seeing your take on spring!
Robyn
I really appreciate this.
That shiplap tree is sooooo adorable, Rachel! I wish I had that collection of bunnies. Loved seeing all your spring touches.
Crissy,
Thanks so much. I appreciate you for stopping by.
I finally got around to seeing the tours and yours is amazing. I didn’t realize you’d keep the tree around all year round but why not?! That is such a fantastic idea! I really really really want one of those trees but have no where to keep it. Thanks for all of the inspo. Happy Easter!
Cindy,
I really appreciate your comments.
Loving all the vintage goodness on your porch!! That tree has stolen my heart! Keeping it up was such a great idea! Pinning and enjoying your post over here in Delaware!
Cindy,
Thanks so much for stopping by. Your comments are so appreciated.
This porch is just stunning I love how you can fit so many things in there. How big is it actually? Do you have a door that goes out to the backyard? Thanks and keep up the great work. You are quite a stylist.
Kathy,
I really appreciate this. There is a door to the front porch and one to the inside of the house. The porch is 14×20
Super cute! I love decorating for Spring. Hugs to you, my friend.
Renae,
I’m so glad you stopped by.

Wow. Unique tree. Wow
Gail,
Thanks for stopping by today.
Thanks for sharing.
Just saw Paula’s comment in the thread, she was such a ray of sunshine…miss her.
Jennifer,
I know! Thanks for sharing.
Loved seeing this again today. It reminded me of wanting to not only make a shiplap tree and decorate it for all seasons but also that just because it’s not cold outside doesn’t mean I should stop using my candles. Love everything about this tour. Happy Spring Rachel!
Cindy,
I appreciate this so much.
I always love seeing posts about your shiplap tree…it’s absolutely magical!
Dori,
I’m so glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by.
Everything is so cute. I love that tree. Where did you purchase vinyl for porch?
Nancy,
We had the panels made by Mosquitonet.com. A company out of Atlanta, GA
Hey, Rachel! You mention the green thrifted “caned” chargers. I just wondered if you’d ever investigated searching out “pre-woven” caned sheets and doing any creating with them (I.e., wrapping around a brass macrame ring to create a charger? My own idea, I was just brainstorming…), or decoupaging? Have you ever done anything like this??? What were your results??? Was it worth the cost of the caned sheets???
My MIL used to actually “re-cane” (I mean, she bought, soaked, and hand-wove… it’s an art… Sadly, she passed away before I could learn that skill from her…) and I’ve seen “caning” sold in sheets so I was just curious… I can imagine natural caned “chargers” being stunning at MANY annual celebrations.
I forwarded your “Tree” to my DH; we have pallets to spare around here. That tree is about to happen, I kid you not! I already made room in the front window!!! lol I cannot wait to have something seasonal to decorate around, other than my foyer (we’re under construction of a 1906 Craftsman, so our design elements are limited! lol).
You do a remarkable job! There’s always something new that inspires something new. If nothing else, it gets the creative energy flowing again!!! Blessings! ~Chrissie
Chrissie,
Thank you for your sweet comments. I’ve never made anything with caned sheets so I’m not sure if they are budget friendly. I can imagine the placemats would look amazing. You can probably get the cane sheets on Amazaon to get a price. Thanks for sharing.
