The first day of spring is just two days away. I am so ready for it! I already started transitioning from winter decor. This post covers A Spring Tablescape for the Breakfast Nook inspired by A Pinterest Challenge hosted by my sweet friend Cindy of County Road 407.
If you are coming over fromOur Southern Home may I say “Welcome!”. Christy always creates lovely tablescapes.

A Spring Tablescape for the Breakfast Nook
This time it’s an Easter-themed centerpiece project inspired by a truly charming tablescape which features:
- A cute bunny centerpiece.
- Bunny plates.
- Natural jute placemats.
- Glass La Rochere bee goblets.
- Black ticking napkins

In the inspiration photo above, I believe that the star of the show is the centerpiece.
I have a similar rabbit that I purchased years ago in Germany. He was the centerpiece of my Easter tablescape last year. Not wanting a repeat, there needed to be a different waskely wabbit.
No Dough
I have long longed for a dough bowl. A reproduction has never found me and the antique specimens have been out of my price range. So, how about a wooden box? You can see how I made the arrangement HERE.
The smaller scale suits our table size.
I know that neutrals are SO big in creating a farmhouse look, but this gal loves color. Particularly in the spring.
So no all grey hares for me.
The colorfully cute plate is nestled on a cream colored charger topped over a seagrass placemat.
I love surrounding myself with objects that tell a story. These napkins were a gift from my dear friend Kelly. They belonged to her stylish Grandma Sword. I moved my great grandmother’s spoons over so you can see the sweet basket detail.
So while the napkins aren’t black ticking my chair cushions are.
I actually also have some La Rochere glasses. Mine feature the Fleur de Lys instead of the bee emblem. I’ve shared them here a million times. But since the centerpiece is green, the plants in the background are green, I decided to use my vintage spring green goblets. #groupsofthree
That is the beauty of this type of challenge. You create what inspires you. Use what you love!

Laura, this is such a cute table. Where did you get your rabbits? They are precious. I love your goblets. They are such a gorgeous color.
Amber Ferguson says
Oh Laura is is so pretty! I love all the color in your centerpiece and tablescape, and your curtains are lovely too. Those green goblets are always eye candy!
I see that my thrifted bunny must be a cousin to your bunnies! I love that you have two different ones in your wooden box. So fun!
Happy spring my friend!

Benita says
Laura, those bunnies are just too cute. I love your centerpiece…your entire table is so pretty! Hugs!
Paula says
Beautiful, Laura! Your centerpiece is lovely and it’s funny that you bunnies look so much like the one Amber recently thrifted. I love your placemats, white chargers, and pretty bunny plates. My heart swooned when I saw your grandmother’s silver, such a pretty pattern. The entire table is gorgeous and I hope that once Easter comes, you’ll be able to enjoy it with your family.
Jenna says
So sweet Laura! I love the bunnies frolicking in the box! Alas, I don’t have a dough bowl either…but you have done a fabulous recreation and with color! The green glasses are wonderful!
Lora Bloomquist says
So cute, Laura! I love your freshly colored table with your pretty curtains in the background. Makes me fondly think of Laura Ashley catalogs from years ago; loved those! Always enjoy hopping with you and seeing your sentimental creations! You are indeed a storyteller decorator like me:)
Susan says
This is really darling, Laura!

Love your bunnies and the tablescape you’ve created here, Laura! Love how bright and sunny your breakfast nook is. This is a fun Pinterest Challenge with so many great ideas and after reading several comments above, I agree. You are a perfect story teller with words and pictures.
Hoppy spring to you,
Barb 🙂
Terrie says
Laura, what a great idea to use a wooden box for the base of your centerpiece. I love your little rabbits. They are adorable. Your centerpiece is so cute. Love your spin on the inspiration. Have a great day!
ellen b. says
Love this sweet table and the box centerpiece you created. Very nice and inspiring!
Christy @ Our Southern Home says
Laura,
It is all so lovely! I agree on the dough bowl. I have a divided one that I bought years before they were the big thing and didn’t pay much. I’d love to have one large one, but they are so expensive now. I adore you alternative!
cindy@countyroad407 says
This is so stinkin’ cute! Love how your box turned out. I too would love an antique dough bowl but it ain’t gonna happen unless I find a long lost rich king in my past who wants to gift me one just because. 😉 And if I do, we can share it.
I just might pop over one day and sit at your beautifully spring table. I’ll bring cake! Thanks for joining us today.

Love your setting and centerpiece, Laura. It’s so whimsical and reminds me of Peter Rabbit. I’m with you and on the dough bowl… some day… some day! 😉 Pinned!
Rachel says
I love everything about your table setting. Especially the adorable plates and vintage napkins.
jeanie says
I am a tad anti-neutral so your colorful table really gets my happy juices going! I love the bunny plates — they are the cutest ever, really make me smile! And I’d seen your centerpiece before and love it as much now! I’ve got my decorating started (and even blogged it!) but the Eastery things and bunnies (well, most of them!) are still to come! I am inspired!
Tara @ Stilettos and Shiplap says
This turned out so cute. I love the wooden box you made for the base. I made one just like it a while ago and use it a lot. Girl! Those chargers! They’re everything! I’m obsessed. This challenge was a lot of fun. Hope to do another with you sometime soon.
Carol Cook says
I know the focus is the centerpiece, but I am in awe of those beautiful napkins.
LESLEA @ A HEART FILLED HOME says
I just love those sweet bunnies! You did a great job putting this together – great “meeting” you! 🙂
