Without hosting any company for such a long stretch, my dining room table décor from Easter never got updated…what for? A lot of home updates did get attended to during isolation – caulking, cleaning, filing, etc., but some of the seasonal décor definitely got neglected!
In an attempt to cheer myself up, I decided to get rid of the decorated Easter eggs and add something a little more appropriate to the season to my dining room table. What better way to brighten spirits than a trip to Terrain?! I figured if I just bought a couple little indoor ferns, I could create something nice and low cost for my dining room table.
Walking around Terrain’s nursery definitely helped pick up my mood – as it always does! And, because I only needed some small ferns, I was able to leave without much of an investment.
My plan was to use some of my Ben Wolff white clay pots to make a simple fern display. Ben Wolff is a potter that does some amazing work. I was never a fan of the traditional color clay pot, (click here and/or here to see two ways I have painted them!) and since I am about all things white, his white clay pots are perfect for my aesthetic! (His gray pots are also beautiful! I am lucky that Ben’s studio is right here in Connecticut – close enough to visit and purchase my pots directly from the studio!
I simply planted the ferns in the white pots and arranged them down the middle of the table with some moss. Easy and so beautifully satisfying! The components are anchored in a 3-foot-long trough I purchased at Terrain many years ago. I use it all the time and it is perfect to protect the table from seasonal arrangements. (I don’t think the exact one I have is still available for purchase, but if you search ‘trough’ on the Terrain website, you should find some great alternatives!)
(To make my arrangement complete – I just need to find the pretty little terrarium rocks I have to cover the top of the dirt in the pots. If I can’t find where I put them, I will use some little shells or sea glass.)
I hope I have inspired you to add some new seasonal décor to your home – company or no company!
Thanks for stopping by!
