Unique Centerpieces

It can be a challenge to keep your décor fresh and exciting. I can easily find myself falling into a rut with decorating, especially when it comes to decorating a tablescape. One way I have found to challenge myself and keep my skills sharp is to repurpose unconventional items as unique centerpieces for my table. 

Cream pitchers and sugar bowls are pieces that I always have around. If I’m not serving coffee, then I will use the cream pitcher and sugar bowl from the pattern of dishes that I set the table with as centerpieces. The cream pitcher below has simple roses in it, while the sugar bowl centerpiece came together in less than a minute with greenery that I picked from my yard.

One of my absolute favorite items I have used as a centerpiece is this shoe. High heels and red are two of my signature items. Using the heel as a centerpiece is attention-grabbing without taking up too much space.

Using unorthodox items for centerpieces is a wonderful way to use items that may be gathering dust in your cabinets. Estate sales and antique shops are places that you can search for unique centerpieces as well. No matter how you end up decorating your table, let your creativity and style shine through. That will make anything beautiful.
