Kitchen Table Spring Centerpiece {On A Galvanized Steel Tray}

| | |

I have put together a fresh kitchen table spring centerpiece that will really make you feel that spring has arrived!

Oh my friends!  I am doing a happy dance right now!  Gone is the snow and the never-ending dreary gray winter days.  The sun and the warmer temperatures have finally arrived – let’s just hope it’s here to stay!

 

Spring Kitchen Centerpiece In A Galvanized Steel Tray on the table.Pin

 

I’m starting the spring celebration with a spring centerpiece on my kitchen table arranged in my new Smith & Hawkins galvanized steel tray that I picked up at Target.  The tray fits my table perfectly – nice and long without being too wide or with sides that are too high.

To put my gorgeous centerpiece together, I raided my stash closet and kitchen cabinets for dishes, linens and silverware.  I didn’t really have a plan in mind – I just started gathering things that reminded me of spring and combined some of them together.  Foremost in my mind was using lots of texture in my spring centerpiece.  Any home decor without texture will fall flat every time.  Secondly, I made sure to include objects of varying heights.  The highs and lows help to draw your eye and keep it moving all around the centerpiece.  If everything was one level, your eye would tend to just skim over it.

Besides the tray, the only thing that is new are the glorious tulips that I found at At Home (formerly Garden Ridge).  I couldn’t believe how realistic they looked for the price.  My container has a very wide opening, so I added four bunches of tulips in it.

My chippy white bird is perfect nestled on a bed of linens on top of a stack of white dishes.  Every time I see that little bird, I’m reminded of how the movers just knew that I wanted to “throw that old thing away” when they were packing for our move to the new house.  I told them they were crazy and then they looked at me like I was crazy.  Ha!

My kitchen table is one of the first things that I see when I come in from the garage and this spring scene makes me happy, happy, happy.

Update: I finally completed the makeover of our breakfast area after I wrote this post.  In case you’re new here or if you missed it, you can take a look at the completed area HERE.

  1. Suzy, I’m with you – turning my back on winter for good! It’s amazing what a weekend of nice temps and sunshine can do for the soul (and the decorating spirit!). Your centerpiece looks really nice and springy. That would make me happy to see first thing when entering the house too. Enjoy!

  2. Oh Suzy, your vignette just says “welcome spring”! I am glad the winter yuck is gone too. I just wish this warmer weather would be accompanied by just a little less rain!

    Have a great day.

    GF this is just gorgeous!! For a minute I thought Pookie spent a fortune on fresh tulips for you! LOL

  4. Spring fever is here big time and your home makes me smile right along with you. The tulips are just what I am looking for and such a pretty BIG bunch of them, too. Great color combo to play with. LOVE LOVE LOVE

  5. Love the vignette! The blue and green bowls are my faves!

  7. Hi Suzy- that’s my kind of fun! Love the galvanized tray. I will have to go check that out at Target. I love to stare at a collection like this and enjoy each piece. So the movers wanted to help dispose of the little chippy bird!! LOL….sounds like something my husband would want to do! I do love those tulips. I found some at a PB outlet that are pretty darn real looking too but I don’t think they are as full as yours.

    1. Hi Liz. Yes, they wanted to get rid of my chippy bird. Crazy movers. Ha! You are so fortunate to live near a PB outlet. I have to travel 2 1/2 hours to get to one.

  8. This is beautiful and I thought the tulips were real! Great inspiration!

  9. Love your tray vignette! So pretty and springy! You’ve added just the right colours, textures and heights to make it all so interesting and fun to look at it. Love all the dishes with the scalloped edges. I had to read it twice that those tulips weren’t real!

    1. Hi Lori. It’s amazing how far silk flowers have come! I’m so glad that you like my vignette.

  10. Just gorgeous – I can’t believe how real they look ( the tulips ) we’ve come such a long way with faux flowers and plants – I can remember when they were very obviously fake from a distance lol !
    Love your centerpiece -!

    1. I remember that too, Suzan. It’s hard to believe that each bunch of these tulips was just a little over $3!

  11. I love this!! The tray is perfect…did you mention where you found it? I was so busy laughing about your “stash closet”. I have several! 🙂

    Love your blog. I’m so glad I found it at Martina’s party!

  16. Suzy, it all looks so lovely and very inspiring for spring. I’m pleased for you that you have waved good bye to dreary winter. Here in Australia we are enjoying the last days of summer. Thanks for linking up at Shabbilicious Friday.
