With the changing seasons, now is the perfect time to bring a little greenery into your homes. And what better place to house a plant stem or two (faux or real) than in an eye-catching recycled glass vase? I love the subtle hint of blue and the beautiful organic shape. Place one on a wood dining table (this one is the current front-runner in my search for a table) with a neutral table runner for a simple yet stunning spring centerpiece.

Neutral-tone tablescapes make a big impact with a mix of textures such as jute or water hyacinth. I love the look of Pottery Barn's handmade woven water hyacinth placemats, which can be used year-round with just about any style decor. These placemats are currently on sale for $12.50 each, while Target has a similar look with these Threshold placemats for just $5.99. Both placemats are 15 inches in diameter. Whether you're enjoying a cup of tea at the table or setting a meal for family, these beautiful richly-textured placemats will add a touch of simple beauty and sophistication.
