Pastel Tablescape on a Budget

Pastel Tablescape on a Budget

Spring Cleaning Cleared the Way for Easter Decorating

So, I have been in a serious Spring Cleaning mood. Pulling out winter clothes. Trying to minimize. It’s been exhausting. The work, however, has finally begun to pay off. This includes having my dining area clear and clean enough to decorate for Spring/Easter.

Using Items I Already Owned

The other benefit is that I have found a lot of goodies I already own. This Tablescape was made with previously owned items, except for the plastic eggs, as someone (I am looking at you, David) left last year's outside exposed in the garage and they are now forever “outdoors” eggs if you get me. Let’s just say the plastic eggs had some eggs of their own. Moving on…

Starting from the beginning…

In my cleaning, I came across this infinity scarf that was in a bright Spring shade of violet. = FREE

Using Upcycled Pieces Made it Almost Free 

Last year, I bought this sweets stand from the Target Spot for a party. Only $3 then, but upcycled here. = FREE

I then placed some vintage glassware out. Most were inherited; the remainder were thrifted. Approximate accrued cost $7, but upcycled here. = FREE

The Only Thing I Actually Bought New (Yes, Just $3)

Here’s the only new purchase. As I mentioned, last year’s plastic eggs gained a new life, so I started fresh. Bag of eggs $3

Tossed in a little bunny flair. This is literally the remains of a bunny garland that I am repurposing here. = FREE

The Finished Look: A Fresh Spring Upgrade for Nothing! (Well, Almost!)

And voila! The result. A very inexpensive spring upgrade.

ta-da!

 

Stay tuned as I spruce up the rest of the house for Easter.
