My Favorite Spring Tablescape in Blue and White

Spring has definitely arrived here and Easter is just around the corner so today I am revisiting one of my favorite posts…my sunny spring tablescape. What is it about blue and white with pops of green that makes it so fresh? And I am betting you will recognize some of the photos because they have become my signature…

A Simple Spring Tablescape

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and Passover weekend! At my house it was a small, simple affair for Easter but, of course, I still had to do a little tablescape! ;-) I just pulled out some of my favorite spring-y accents to create a soft look with lots of white, pastels and basket-y texture!

Spring Tablescape in Blue and White

I am really excited this week to join some very talented bloggers in presenting The Scoop’s Spring Tablescape Tour! And my tablescape is one that has been cooking in my brain for quite  some time. If you know me, you know how I love blue and white and have amassed a little collection of double happiness and ginger jars over the years.

So you will understand that among my favorite pins is this lovely blue and white tablescape! My heart nearly stopped when I saw it for the first time and I knew, being the big fat copy-cat that I am, that I wanted to create my own version one day. I also knew that I could shop the house for almost everything, but I had one problem…I needed white tulips! So this spring, as soon as they appeared in Michaels (yes…mine are faux), I made sure to have a supply of them for all of my spring decorating! 

You may remember  that I used them to fill Dollar Tree vases wrapped in burlap for my Pottery Barn inspired Easter tablescape …

…and the galvanized sap buckets that I found at the Country Living Fair on my Farmhouse spring porch! White tulips are my new favorite flower for spring!

And now, finally, my favorite way to use my white tulips…filling one of my double happiness jars…

…and spilling over into a Chinese-style pitcher and an octagonal ginger jar! I love the way the blue and white make the green leaves pop!

Then I added some blue and white candlesticks with long, white tapers…

…and sprinkled in some vintage silverplate, like this roll-top butter dish, a Goodwill find from several years ago.

Then I finished it off with a place setting that echoed the colors…blue and white with more vintage silver.

At each place is a beaded plate from Dollar Tree (yes…you read that right), a lotus bowl from Pier 1, which echoes the tulip shape, and a blue and white porcelain dessert plate with a Chinese pattern and silver trim around the rim.  The bowls were another Goodwill find from four years ago (at seven for $4.54!) that I first showed you in my “saladscape” here. The set of six plates…on clearance for only $17…came from Bombay Company many years ago.

The silverware is my mom’s Silver Flutes from Towle, which adds just the right amount of simple elegance!

And finally, at each place is an Irish lead crystal tea glass paired with a wine glass from Goodwill. I find that mixing high end items with thrifting finds allows you to achieve an expensive look without having to spend a lot of money.

Not bad, huh? I think I have done a pretty good job of echoing the spirit of my inspiration tablescape…and without spending a dime on anything other than the tulips!

It’s not a perfect copy, but it has a sort of relaxed elegance (if there is such a thing) that I like.

I am loving the blue and white mixed with little sophisticated pops of silver and the sparkle of the glass! 

However, Miss Kitty, in usual feline fashion, is not impressed. Her suggestion…next time go for black and white! Hmmm…I wonder where she gets that idea! LOL

Pottery Barn Inspired Easter Tablescape

Easter is almost here and I have finally put the finishing touches on my holiday tablescape! This year I wanted soft colors and natural elements for lots of texture with a relatively simple look.

I was inspired by this tablescape from Pottery Barn, but I wanted a much less cluttered feel…and I needed it to be much less expensive, too!

I started playing with the idea back in early March and shared my hunt for elements that would allow me to get the Pottery Barn look for less. You can get all the details, including my sources and price comparisons, by clicking here.

And here is the look that I finally settled on…with just a few changes from the original.

I removed a few of the layers for a simpler look, substituting Pier 1 lace doily plates for the original aqua dessert plates. I think I like the clean look of more white with just pops of color.

You may remember that I was on the hunt for Pottery Barn copy-cat bunny egg cups and had managed to find only two at Walmart. I needed four and had searched every store within driving distance when it dawned on me…just get two in the other colors and spray paint them white! Well…of course! So I did!

You may have noticed that the Pottery Barn version has a cake plate with burlap-wrapped gifts on top and I liked that idea. Soooo…I pulled out my cake plate and added my little no-sew burlap bunny treat bags.

It makes a fun presentation for the little goodie bags that I created for my grandsons!

Each one is labeled with a paint chip Easter egg name tag and filled with their favorite treats. And best of all…no sewing was required! You can get all the details here.

Remember the Pottery Barn inspired burlap-wrapped vases that I created? I filled them with faux white tulips...on sale at Michaels...and placed them down the center of the table

And here it is…my Pottery Barn inspired Easter tablescape! I love the simple look of the aqua, white and burlap!

In fact, those are the elements that I have used for most of my projects this Easter.  And…I have had lots of fun making most of them no-sew as well! The cute bunny ear napkin rings, burlap bunny silverware pouches and egg cozies will go on the Easter breakfast table. Here are the links in case you would like to check them out…

As for my co-host, Miss Kitty seems more interested in checking out a flock of birds at the backyard feeder than the tablescape! It’s that time of year!

I think I am going to enjoy this simple tablescape and I hope my guests will, too!  

And…I am wishing a wonderful Easter to you, my dear readers! 

Enjoy this special time with your family!

And stay tuned next week because the gang at The Scoop will be hosting a tour of spring tablescapes to inspire you! I can't wait!
