One of my favorite things to do is to change the decor on my dining table each season and holiday. The dining table is usually the focal point of any dining room. After the holiday season, I just leave it very simple until spring. But now, it’s spring, and time to get my spring decor on. I am going with a fresh and soft look mixed with greenery. Simple and pretty, just like spring. The days are getting longer and life seems to take a slower pace after the holiday season. I am looking forward to planting flowers, vegetables, and enjoying walks in the evening. But, back to the decor.
I think an easy way to create a custom designer look without the designer price tag is with personalized pieces. Everything I used was pieces I already had in my collection, reuse and repurpose. I always start with a personalized table runner from Initial Outfitters. I have these in many different embroidery colors, and a table runner is a great way to tie the look together. I went with my white one this spring, many times I use a sage green, but wanted a change this year.
Starting with a white tray from the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection in the middle and adding a lantern from Pier 1 is the centerpiece. Hydrangeas are my very favorite flower and these tall vases look perfect on either side of my centerpiece. These vases get so much use, and I move them around all year. Like I said, reuse and repurpose. It just gives a fresh look to a room repurposing and moving pieces around. My husband always asks if I bought something new. No, just moved it around.
I love the little grass squares, and there are so many uses for these. The green breaks up the long table runner. Birds are a sure sign of spring, and these little topiaries look perfect on the green grass pieces. A couple of bunnies, moss balls, and architectural pieces finish the center. I added personalized placemats, napkins, and napkin rings all from Initial Outfitters to finish the look.
I think the look is perfect for spring. Not too busy and cluttered, just bright and fresh. The next part, this whole look cost me only a little time. I had all of the pieces, and I just pulled them all together to create a brand new look. I hope you enjoy it.
Happy Spring,
Carrie
