A Spring Green Tablescape

*

*
Hello my friends...I'm so happy that you stopped by today!

*

It has been a busy week at my place...besides the normal daily schedule,
 I have been trying to get a some spring cleaning done so that I could do a
 little spring decorating!

*

I started the spring fluffing in my dining room. As many of you know,
 I have a red French Country style dining room. I love my red walls, however
 it is sometimes a challenge to "lighten" things up for the spring and summer season.
 This year I decided to use as much white as possible and add a little "Spring Green"
 into the mix...you know, that pretty yellow-green color! It's so light and fresh...
just what I want!
*

I wanted to do a spring tablescape to go with the new spring decor...my very
 first spring tablescape of the season!
*
A Spring Green Tablescape...
*

*
 I have incorporated the same white and green color scheme from the dining
 room decor into my tablescape. Ahhh...a light and fresh table!

*

*

No table coverings today...going for that light and fresh ambiance...all I
 am using is a white lacy table runner...that's it! Fresh and simple!
*

As you can see, I am using several white pieces along with a few
 items of that spring green color.

*

*

The Place Setting...

*

White and spring green dishes! I am using a dinner plate, fruit
 bowl, bread and butter plate, and a cup and saucer from my set of green
 transferware ironstone. This pretty pattern is called Kensington Staffordshire
 Balmoral 1801. I just love this set of dishes...I found a 32 piece set on Ebay
 for just $10 (plus shipping)! Quite a bargain!!! I am also using a salad
 plate from my set of white ironstone dishes along with a lacy
 metal charger plate.

*

The white cotton dinner napkin is trimmed with the prettiest crocheted
 lace. Just perfect for the light and fresh look that I was going for!
*

*

I love, love, LOVE this floral pattern! Ohhh...and
 those beautiful scalloped edges!
*

*

I large glass goblet for water or iced tea.

*

I love how the green apples look through the glass!


*

I recently found this pretty white pedestal plate at TJ Maxx for just
 $5.99. I love the reticulated edge...I wove two pretty ribbons around the
 plate...one white ribbon and one spring green ribbon!

*

I added four green apples to the plate...love that pretty "splash"
 of yellow-green!!!
*
The tea/coffee pot is white ironstone by JG Meakins...another thrifty
 buy for just $10!
*

*
Ohhh look...two little spring birds have decided to join us!
*
 It just wouldn't be a spring table without a couple of sweet songbirds!

*

*

I love, love, LOVE white pitchers! This is one of my collection...I
 think the embossed grapes and leaves are sooo pretty! I believe that this is
 the first time that I've used this pitcher in a tablescape.
*

*

I wanted to show you a couple of photos of my newly decorated for
 spring...buffet. All white with a few splashes of that pretty yellow-green!
*

Long stems of white lilacs along with a few hydrangea blooms in a large
 white pitcher sit center stage on the 6 ft. long buffet. Four silver candleholders
 with white candles...and four cut glass candleholders sporting their pretty
 yellow-green color candles...join in with the mix.
*

and...as you may have noticed...there are bunnies...lots of bunnies!
*

*

On the left there is a happy little bunny sitting with his chubby little legs
 up in the air...on a yellow-green bed of moss. A larger bunny is resting under
 the shade of the lilacs. Hehe!

*

On the right side...more bunnies! One of the little guys is sleeping on a bed
 of the same moss under the glass cloche. Ahhhh! On the very end is one of my
 prized thrift store finds...a bunny covered casserole dish or tureen. I only paid $8
 for this fabulous piece! If you would like to see more of the spring Green
 decor in my dining room...you can click HERE.
*

I really like the look of the red walls behind the white flowers
 and bunnies and the glass!

*

*

And...there you have it! A "Spring Green" tablescape! I hope you enjoyed!
