Quick and Easy Thrifted Spring Centerpiece Idea

by 31 Comments

Spreading a bit of spring around the house during this cold, wet winter has been on my mind lately.

I’ve been trying to do that and keep a lid on unnecessary spending for the house. It’s been going well but I did have one slip-up a few weeks ago when I found these cool glass bottles, with glass lids, at a thrift store for only $10.  I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them but they came home with me anyway and have quickly become my fave thing to use for a quick and easy spring centerpiece.

Each one has some natural wear and tear but that just adds to their charm.

I’ve had them all over my kitchen and dining area since I brought them home. A few flowers in each and I have a simple but pretty spring centerpiece. This is something anyone can do and it’s so easy. You could even go the free route and clip a few flowers or greens from your yard. Pretty decor doesn’t have to be expensive, or complicated.

As far as my own decor, I tend to keep things simple so I either try to stay in the same color family or stick with one type of flower. To me, that makes more of a statement.

While I do love them in the center of the table and on the kitchen island, my favorite spot has been on the white buffet in the dining area. I sometimes struggle with this cabinet because it’s so big. I don’t like a lot of “stuff” around so this area can end up feeling a bit empty.

My 3 thrifted bottles and some beautiful red tulips make the perfect centerpiece, and just the right touch for Valentine’s Day. It’s definitely my favorite look so far.

The great thing about my bottle trio is that I can change them out every week and get a new look. Best 10 bucks I’ve spent in a long time.

  11. Kristi,

    In my email stream, your post had a photo of a wooden candle holder in front of a chalkboard with something on it. I couldn’t quite tell what it was, but I was interested in it. I loved the look. Can you expand on that item? I didn’t see it on this page, although the centerpieces you created were lovely!

  12. What a great find! I love all of your ideas and agree on the power of one flower choice. I sometimes struggle with the grocery store bouquets. They just look so unoriginal when I put them in a vase. I will look for all one kind next. Glad you picked these up! It is fun to have something new every once in a while.

    • Thanks so much Julie! I agree about the grocery store bouquets. They are pretty but I feel like one flower bouquets suit my style (one color palette as opposed to several different colors). Right now I’m into green hydrangeas and red tulips, obviously. 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend!

  13. good for you and your find! i love using old bottles in my home decor. the other day the kids and I found a really old glass medicine bottle in the back of the our property. it was so cool for them to be able to research the name of the company and when the bottle was made .

    • Thanks Maria! I love glass jars too but I have to watch what I bring home to our small space (with little storage). These were just too good to pass up though. 😉
