Hey friends! Thanks for stopping by! Can you believe Easter is already this weekend?? Where did the time go?! I absolutely love this time of year...the fragrant flowers, warmer temps, and the beautiful pastel colors. I don't know about you, but I feel like I've come out of hibernation from winter when Spring hits. This lovely season puts an extra hop in my step!
To start off this season right, and to prepare for Easter weekend, I've chosen to share 3 thrifty tablescape ideas that will hopefully help inspire you to create a colorful tablescape you'll love! (If you'd like to see more detailed pics, there's a link at the bottom of this post that will take you directly to my blog, The Rustic Boxwood. :)

I didn’t really know how I was going to decorate our table. I needed inspiration. Of course, Pinterest is always one of the first places I visit, but sometimes just walking physically through a store — the smells, the colors, the textures — really helps to get my creative juices flowing. So, when I found this beautiful watercolor table runner while shopping in one of my fave home decor stores, I chose to make it my focal point for our tablescape! The soft pastels with the pretty painted flowers screamed Spring in a soft way to me.
First, I took my 4-pack flour sack dish towels and folded each one up to make 4 napkins. (Everyone needs to have at least one pack in their home!! You can do so much with them…but that’s a whole different blog post for another day.) 😉 Next, I chose to use gold flatware to pull out the yellow tones in the runner.
To add to the centerpiece, I inserted faux hydrangeas into thrifted milk glass vases.
Tablescape #2
Oh, and I felt there needed to be more pops of pink on the table, so I scoured the house for the perfect statement, and I finally found scraps of pink and white ticking fabric (that I bought at a yard sale). The funny thing is they were already cut into leaf-like patterns. How perfect was it that I could make them look like extensions of the peonies! I know it sounds crazy, but I really love it!
Doesn't this faux peony look ah-mazing??!!
Tablescape #3
I also added some fun, pink stripey straws from the dollar spot at Target, along with more hydrangeas and peonies in thrifted milk glass vases. :)
So, here are my ideas for thrifty Spring tablescapes…done 3 ways. Which tablescape is the winner? Is it the yellow-plate decor, the dainty china decor, or the white-plate decor? I’d love to hear your thoughts! You can comment below, or drop by my Instagram feed and let me know what you like best. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you’ve been inspired to create a colorful and thrifty Spring tablescape for your own home!
