EASTER TABLESCAPE WITH A VINTAGE TWIST
This Easter tablescape is a mix of new decor and vintage pieces that blend together for a bright, elegant setting. See how it all comes together…
You probably know by now that I have a thing for vintage milk glass (have you seen my post on Decorating With Milk Glass?). This year, I’ve used it as part of my Easter tablescape to give my decorations a vintage twist.
I love the mix of patterns and textures on these mini vases and the creamy white color allows me to add whichever colors I chose without having to coordinate to match the vases. This year, I focused on shades of teal blue, but also added bits of green and pink since all three blend nicely for a spring vignette. Here’s the breakdown:
THE CENTERPIECE
To start with, I purchased this sheer white table runner and doubled it over, loosely draping it across the length of my farmhouse table. At the center of my table are two vine and moss bunnies from World Market.
Bird nests atop mini tobacco baskets flank the sides and are surrounded by mix-and-matched milk glass vases. I love the variety of patterns and heights of the vases. I kept with the teal theme by filling each with these dried button flowers.
THE TABLE SETTINGS
Each table setting in my Easter tablescape consists of a galvanized metal charger and white porcelain dinnerware. I like how the plates and saucers have beaded rims which mimic the hobnail milk glass!
I am NOT a seamstress, but after enough frustration over not being able to find teal napkins with white pom pom trim, I finally broke down and gave DIY a shot. They aren’t perfect, but they get the job done and I’m able to learn a lot about my sewing machine with projects like this!
Last but not least are these speckled foam eggs in ceramic white hobnail egg cups. If you look closely, you’ll see that the eggs are a bit lumpy and indented.
Yes, those are bite marks.
Thank you, my two-year-old son, for biting each egg before I could take pictures! We’re working on no-touch zones in the house, but for now, I’ll live with indented Easter eggs and hope I can help him break the habit soon (he doesn’t try to eat them – it’s more for the pressure).
Anyway – Happy Spring and Happy Easter, folks!
