Early Spring Garden Style Tabletop Vignette

Ready to add some garden style accents to your home? Here is how to quickly style an early spring garden style tabletop vignette!

While the snow may be blowing outside, you can add a touch of spring to your home with an  Early Spring Garden Style tablescape!

To be completely transparent, this is a tabletop vignette that I designed two years ago when I was spending time at the farmhouse.  I have been a little under the weather this year and haven’t added any early spring touches to the Florida house.  I haven’t even finished putting away all the Christmas decor yet!  Yikes!

Let’s “Spring” into Action!

Let’s get started with our Early Spring Garden Style tablescape.

The first step would be to choose the location where you want to place your vignette.  It could be a coffee table, a side table, a mantel or any flat surface.  This primitive scrub top table is one of my favorite pieces!  It is a little tall to act as a coffee table since I had my handyman add the wheels, but I still use it as one anyway!

Do you ever name your furniture?  I call this table “my Glo Ann” table.  I think I explained how it got its name in this post Farmhouse Fireplace Staged for Late Spring

This is Glo Ann!  She was the first person to swim in our new pool!  She was an immense help to me when I was working on cleaning out and getting the farmhouse ready to sell!  If I didn’t have her for a friend, I would probably still be spinning around the farmhouse trying to decide where to start!  And I wouldn’t have that awesome primitive table either!

Back to the vignette…

After you choose your spot to design your vignette, you will want to start gathering items.  I like to use a runner or table cloth to add texture to the vignette.  For this vignette, I used this natural-colored muslin runner with a navy blue stripe.  I also used it as part of the How to Make A Blue & White Summer European Dish Garden project pictured below.

Now you are ready to start building the display.  I used a combination of silk flowers, candle sticks, a mirrored tray, heart shaped boxes and a few rusty things.  Rusty things are one of my very favorite things!  More about my obsession with rust covered items can be found here: Old Tool Carriers, Wooden Boxes & Cool Rusty Things!

This tin wall pocket or planter box is embossed with the words “Spring Flower Garden Blooms”.  For the Early Spring season, I placed a bundle of faux herbs and one hydrangea stem in it.  Next to the tin wall pocket, I placed a vintage planter.  The dainty flower design on the planter mimics the design embossed on the tin wall pocket.  I honestly don’t remember where I got the planter.  It may have been in a box of things someone brought me when I had the flower shop.  That happened a lot!

The mirrored tray looks like mercury glass.  It is quite heavy and works really well in the vignette.  The heart boxes are made of metal.  They can be used as a set and stacked on each other, or they could be used separately.

The skeleton key was one of several that I found when cleaning out the farmhouse.  I kept three.  The front door of the farmhouse still has the original lock that uses a skeleton key.  Well, at least it did when I sold it last May.

If you are interested in learning more about the history of and the process of downsizing the farmhouse, I wrote a series of posts called Thyme to Let Go.  They start here: Thyme to Let Go & How I Downsized the Family Homestead Part 1

and end here: Thyme to Let Go & How I Downsized My Family Homestead Part 7

In the picture below, I used a bundle of faux pansies and assorted greenery and flipped how I had the items displayed on the tabletop.

The tin wall pocket can be used for other seasons just by strategically placing a bundle of silk flowers in the container.  To see how I repurposed this container for Autumn, please check out this post: How To Repurpose Your Spring Containers for Fall

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you gained some inspiration on how to bring early spring touches to your home!
