Farmhouse Style Spring Breakfast Nook

Spring is definitely in the air here in the Midwest and I’m celebrating the start of the season with a few of my favorite bloggers from both the U.S. and Canada! (You’ll see links to their inspirational spring decorating at the end of the post.) I was in the mood to create a spring tablescape in my breakfast nook but what I ended up with looks entirely different than what I envisioned in my mind. Does that ever happen to you? I was going to infuse aqua and pink into the space but as you’ll see … that didn’t quite happen.

Spring-Breakfast-Nook-5The spring color scheme for my breakfast nook ended up being green, aqua, and a few touches of red thrown in for fun! It all happened quite unexpectedly.

 

Farmhouse Style Spring Breakfast NookI was in Crate and Barrel and stumbled across these adorable farmhouse style kitchen towels with roosters and chickens. As I was getting ready to style my spring table setting in pink and aqua, it dawned on me to fold my new kitchen towels in thirds and place them end to end to create a makeshift table runner. I fell in love and there was no turning back!

Farmhouse Style Spring Breakfast NookFrom the beginning, I knew I’d use my pale aqua plates. To pull out the green in the table runner, I hauled out my green chargers that I used for my modern country table setting.  Pink was now definitely out of the question.

Instead, I opted for apples since my makeshift table runner had a few touches of red. The green coasters were also on sale at Crate and Barrel for just 37 cents each.

  1. Your tablescape is precious. I too have used tea towels for a table runner. I wanted a striped red grain sack/linen look for Christmas and found what I was looking for in a tea towel from Crate and Barrel. I sewed two together at the middle and voila, my table runner for my kitchen table (PS no side seams necessary either). I usually have a centerpiece, as you have, so the seam is not noticeable.

  2. I wholeheartedly agree about aqua and green for the win! This setting is so fun! This really speaks to the artful eye you have to put together pieces that most people wouldn’t think of, in such a beautiful way.

  3. Everything is so beautiful! I love the way you added the red accent it’s really cheery. I seriously heart those chicken towels too! hope you’re having a great week, Coco
