I am sharing with you how to transition your tabletop for spring!
Spring?! I don’t know the meaning of the word. Well, okay. I think it’s the season that supposed to be here soon. Allegedly. Honestly, we got a few inches of snow last night, and I’m not holding my breath that spring is going to show up anytime soon.
But we won’t tell my dining room that. She thinks it’s spring, and we’ll just let her go on and believing that.
Simple Spring Tabletop
I recently rearranged my tabletop and added some new fun visually appealing pieces for spring. It was pretty easy to do, so I thought I’d share with you how I did it. Here is what it looked like before. It was ready for Valentine’s Day with some pink roses, red cupcakes, and little succulent Valentines at each place setting.
First I “de-Valentined” the table, which required removing the roses, cupcakes. and Valentine succulents.
I was kind of just making it up as I went, and I thought I might reuse some of the statement pieces. I ended up taking the Metal Frame Vase off of the table and scooting the glass pedestal cloche base to the center. I added our DIY Photo Place Cards (that I used on our holiday table) back onto the table for spring. I am using the very same napkins, plates, and chargers that I’ve had on the table since Christmas time. (Affiliate links used.)
Next, I added some pots of grass (grass from IKEA) to the table. I had these wire and terra-cotta planters on hand, and I just kind of rearranged the planters of grass until everything looked polished and just right.
I wanted to add just a little bit of something whimsical and fun to the table, so I used these battery-operated string of Ediston bulbs (I found them at Marshall’s) to give my early springtime table the final touch. 😉
This spring tabletop is just what we need to remind us that spring is coming!
Our six-year old daughter loves turning the lights on at night and watching our table glow while we eat. (We never eat at this table, we always eat at our kitchen island, but we can still look at our table glowing…ha!)
So, just by rearranging a few things and adding some springy grass to the table, I was able to pretty easily and quickly transition our tabletop from winter to spring. I plan on creating a few more fresh spring looks for this table, but I’m enjoying this one while the snow still falls outside. 😉
I’m not the only one sharing how I transition a space from winter to spring!

Thank you so much, Jennifer! Yes, she’s a funny one! 😉 Thank YOU for inviting me to join! xo
How wonderful your spring garden looks on the table!! I love the little pots of greenery!!
I love how you called it a spring garden! It does kind of look like a little garden! Thanks so much, Lory! xo
I love all that greenery and those little lights are adorable! I can only imagine how lovely it all looks at night too. Here’s to a speedy spring!
Thank you so much, Amanda! Yes! A speedy spring!!! xo
april, i love the idea of using potted plants scattered on the table…and of course the lights.
Thank you so much, Laura! 🙂
So pretty, April! I love ALL your potted plants and it definitely feels and looks like you brought the beautiful spring outdoors inside 🙂
Thank you sweet, Norma! 🙂
April, I agree your dining room doesn’t need to know it is snowing outside! There is nothing like adding plants inside to give your home a feeling of spring. Love it!
Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙂
Very cute! Glad I found your blog… we both have a love of turquoise and share this awful Indiana weather. The other day it snowed, sleeted, rained and then snowed again… then the next day it was sunshine and melted snow. I think I’m just jumping full force into spring/summer. No looking back, it’s driving me crazy! Lol
Yes! The weather has been crazy! We had a complete white-out blizzard in the middle of the afternoon last week…10 minutes later, it was fine! We’ll get through these last few weeks of winter! I’m so glad you found me too! 🙂
LOVE the greenery, that’s just brilliant actually, I’d never know that mother nature is still being a little difficult outside, this is the best Spring table I’ve seen this season! xo
Well, thank you so much for your very kind words, Laurie! xo
