Hello and welcome to day two of our spring tablescape blog hop! Today, I’m sharing our Farmhouse Easter Tablescape. It’s simple with some vintage charm and some bunny-inspired napkins. Let’s hop to it! (couldn’t help myself on that one 😉
Centerpiece
Rather than go with a traditional floral arrangement, I decided to bring spring indoors. I purchased a few new terra cotta pots from Lowe’s and gave them a quick makeover to give them an aged look. I don’t have a tutorial for this, but there are tons online. In fact, Joanna Gaines just posted a tutorial at Magnolia this week (aka The Mothership).
(Affiliate links included below for your convenience. You can full my full disclosure policy here.)
For these, I used some leftover, almost dried up chalk paint (kid gloves from Valspar). I dabbed the end of a paintbrush in the paint, blotted on a paper towel and then dry brushed around the pots. They only take about 10-minutes to dry and they are ready for planting!
In the larger pots, I used ornamental cabbage. In the smaller pots, I used these pretty little white flowers. No idea what they are called, but they reminded me of clovers and spring.
The great thing about using outdoor plants is that I am able to re-use these on our front porch. Except it’s so cold right now, they are all currently inside. Hoping that spring shows up very soon!
Place Setting
For the table runner, I used an outdoor blanket (similar one here), last seen in the fall on the back porch. At each place setting, white plates from Crate & Barrel are simple and practical. At the head places, some pretty copper wine glasses (currently on sale!) from World Market add another little pop of color.
On the plates, navy folded napkins (you can find them here) resemble bunny ears. I’ll share the super simple tutorial for these tomorrow. Basically, I attempted to make the Martha Stewart version, and after a few attempts, failed horribly (check out Shirley’s post at Intelligent Domestications if you want to see some of the real-deal bunny napkins!).
A few pieces of silver finish off the table. I’m really trying to use my silver on a more regular basis and not worry about the patina. It’s no use sitting in a closet never to be used!

I love the pops of color from the cabbage – and that outdoor blanket is perfect on the table!
Thank you, Meg! Happy spring!
That is a great idea to use outdoor plants for the centerpiece! I love being able to use things for multiple purposes too! Love the purple cabbages, the color pops! 🙂
Thank you, Kimberly! Here’s hoping the cabbage stays alive outside now!
I love the pots and the cabbage!! this makes for a cute easy centerpiece!
Thank you, Ann!
The ornamental cabbage is beautiful as your centerpiece and so clever to be able to use them on the porch soon too! Love the blue and white for spring colors! I appreciate the shout out on the napkins. Thank goodness for You Tube videos, right! I like your Bunny napkins too!
Thank you, Shirley!
Jenn this is so pretty! I am obsessed with ornamental cabbage, and love it on a spring table! Especially in your terra cotta pots!
Thank you Lisa!
Your potted plants make a perfect centerpiece. Love the finish you achieved on the pots. We too love blue and white! Your table is lovely!
Thank you, ladies! It’s funny – I used to think blue and white was too traditional for my taste, but now I can’t get enough!
Jen, This is gorgeous! I love the navy napkins with the purple flowers!
Thank you, Amanda!
Your spring table is gorgeous! The purple in the ornamental cabbage is so perfect with the aged terracotta pots. Everything looks so sweet. Thank you for the inspiration.

Thank you, Michelle! Happy spring!
I’ve been wanting to give an aged look to some of my terracotta pots and wow, I really want to do it now after seeing your gorgeous Easter tablescape. I love the ornamental cabbages. I usually have them outside, but I’ve never thought to bring them indoors. What a beautiful spring tablescape. Love it all!
Thank you, Alli! ALways love “hopping” with you!
Pretty table Jenn! I love the idea of using plants for the centerpiece – so versatile!
Thank you, Denise! Now, here’s hoping I can keep them alive outside 🙂
