Good morning friends! I’m excited for you to see today’s post. It’s another Pinterest Challenge called Spring is in the air! If you didn’t see the last Pinterest Challenge, you can see it here. More importantly, when you get to the bottom, you’ll want to look at the posts from the other bloggers and see how different each one can look.

They are all unique!

If you are new here, a Pinterest Challenge is several bloggers all using the same photo showing how it can be adapted to your own style to fit with the way you decorate your own home.

Lisa @ASimplyStyledNest is our chosen inspiration this month. Her photo is below and she is definitely one to follow on Instagram! BTW, you can follow me too by clicking here!

A Spring Centerpiece Pinterest Challenge

I love the soft colors, the flowers and all her natural looking elements but, as beautiful as it is, a container that large would overwhelm my table. So, my challenge will be to find something more suitable for my table, my style and my pocket book.

Step 1 is to find your base container. I don’t have a wooden rectangular bowl but I do have trays. After trying the trays, I realized they actually weren’t big enough. Searching the house some more, I decided to use the old wooden piece I had sitting on the mantel. It’s the perfect size for our slim table and keeping it simple is my kind of decorating. Plus, it’s free!

You might be thinking girl, that doesn’t look anything like the inspiration photo. But think about it. I still have a base container (even though mine doesn’t have walls), there are eggs, a type of greenery and a bunny in the middle! All the same elements as Lisa’s photo but a little more in keeping with my own style. 🙂

Step 2 is deciding on your color palette. What works best for my surroundings and decor? This year it’s all about the blues so I found these speckled eggs at Hobby Lobby.

Step 3 is the tall centerpiece. I found the metal bunny at Dollar General for $3.50 but it was a bright pink. All it needed was a little of my favorite Rustoleum Chalked paint and voila, it’s perfect. You can still see the embossing and I can always add a bow around the neck if I want a little more color or added oomph. 😉

Lisa’s inspiration photo was full of flowers and greenery which brings us to Step 4 – the filler. Instead of spending the money on more greenery or flowers, I grabbed the moss out of the trees in Navasota. My soul we could fill a trailer full and not be rid of it all. And how cute is it sitting inside those vintage jello molds? So cute I tell ya! Hobby Lobby sells moss just like this or if you’d like to come pull some out of our trees, come on by! I’ll help and we can get enough to make some nests too! Made some last year and they turned out great. Check the DIY here.

That’s it – A Pinterest Challenge made easy with only a few simple steps.

I’m loving the simplicity of this centerpiece but most of all, I love that it’s in my style and was inexpensive.

Next is Amber at Follow the Yellow Brick Home and I know you’ll enjoy her centerpiece. Finally, don’t forget to check out the other fun ideas!
