One of my goals for the new year was to find a new centerpiece for the kitchen table. I don’t know about you, but coming up with centerpieces & staging table tops does NOT come easy to me! (Remember, it took me an ENTIRE Saturday to style my mantel?) So, I searched every inch of my favorite blogs, shelter magazines, & internet sources for inspiration. I decided I loved the look of the ball/globular vases I kept seeing as centerpieces & tabletop styling. Here are a few of the images that got me loving them… (Reminder: If you would like to “Pin” these images, please click on the original link & pin from there. Thanks!)
Below, Emily used one as a centerpiece for her kitchen table, but I think I've spied this vase in a few other areas in her home too!
Obviously, I totally copied this look from John & Sherry, although I'm pretty sure those leaves might be real!
Here, an assortment of vases was used to style an entry table.
So, now that I new what I wanted to use as my centerpiece, I needed to find one. How hard could it be, right? Finding a vase took me almost an entire day, but I finally found something similar at Old Time Pottery. Here it is:
{Excuse the poor photo quality!}
This vase is 12 inches tall & cost around $25. They had another one I liked better. It was a little bigger, more round, & slightly tinted a bluish-green color. It was also more expensive, around $40. Since I didn’t want to spend that much money, I opted for this one. The faux banana leaf is from Hobby Lobby.
If you are interested in getting this look, here are a couple of sources.
This vase, from the Couronne Company, is smaller, around 7". (It's out of stock until April, so I have no idea how much it costs.)
