For me, that means it’s time to start thinking about my Easter tablescape. And one of the first places I always look for inspiration is…<i>you guessed it!</i>…Pottery Barn! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga_uciukQ_ost1ibYHFkWttKTpkXf2njlUtwmc8I7j5Ygz7vjKyDagZ2BvVbLtWHuU57qAm0x2XKQRaJKzKkxSmEJtN9G_qNBTPTCrWX0OdN-B4EvNhx4yJOSZzDUcAmbMl-BIaEZ91f5I/s1600-h/PotteryBarn16.jpg"><img alt="Pottery Barn" border="0" height="499" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7B35tJzPmKPzB0galI7fvrGeerOduocpT6E0nfHBL34CK3PVK-2HIBJuyu-5gQ3QS2odGsSO34jlvE-umahIYVKKQIN2_NSNhghNU8eA6oXJYODDr27tF_F9g0f0IlCCylcHq8ac9u-m/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Pottery Barn" width="552" /></a>And when I saw this photo in the <i><a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/shop/dinnerware-entertaining/easter-tabletop/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pottery Barn catalog</a>,</i> I knew that I had found what I was looking for! I love the color and the texture…so springy and fun!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHKjHSE0lUTK23yOl52ymzYh2_p7G60I-ulpOgyqTk3PQMp_czZMwgjKDjXhA_T9Lzps7oeUAZ-mFzruX-yyJOLTEeSM0BCor-KQ8zklwMIwBYF_sao4EKrFOpuBzIvn6t0iJddunQeX07/s1600-h/PotteryBarn28.jpg"><img alt="Pottery Barn 2" border="0" height="499" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgak7Ha2a4ZWSoSLnTJ0bMOgAXTPpWuPAenKfynXCSEISHYJ1Gn0-hQmlcM6ILdGeE97iAqyvCUSfZopjkaprD6z8Cp2052sD23Krp4WL-e0v38bbIImYMXsnyJJaiigj80_n6kyZA4A02/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Pottery Barn 2" width="559" /></a> And I just fell in love with this place setting…so festive and colorful…and decided to use it as a springboard for my tablescape this year!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikiexfrOxRXnd4h9exalfkxh7GN_W4nRHxHUIn-PMymWRLrtDrRbfNxl8Cz9fs0MNWbyfGthP5-zsn8mzQgwhzrQA4m1lkWlEL_rJT0GEkgix_pka5p2xq-P6Bh13HT6J8yVLtPq0M1ipn/s1600-h/CONFESSIONSOFAPLATEADDICTGettingtheP%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" border="0" height="610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlQ7ZtqwpmvmdBICao0hN_qevb02tbk4eA8v-8SuCCErJMTQe7ZGASh4pH0QSG2eLLml2fecMgidrNtZxVCybKr_wlo2KHxhpInVqjeZv9uHxMMfzwDl-KhQMJ6W-jB4ybuSE0rB1ZKAj/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" width="609" /></a><i>Sooo</i>…here is my version! I like to start out by playing with the place setting at first, then add in all the other details later. I think I am going to choose just the pretty pale aqua with white as my color scheme since my tablescape will be for a small group and I want a simple look this year. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5yDA9i2HvOzQ1RiGyZym3AmcprsbQD64olzPkKNc1acCVcDzEXTaTS_ObYU_NbZ6IgPhQCVWLJMjLBHOG7tRIfjxvsApMqnsHgP_xXVOqdllw9TO4B65IKIq9925CBTWOSKUMzXi1fg_n/s1600-h/CONFESSIONSOFAPLATEADDICTGettingtheP%25255B15%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhId4bIV0X6xTdaZ_XfCM9jKnYbGUknIRClYyn2jpXYfQYiHPGN_tFK7LjHDztW_l7gzF4mo5hsraXc9aU8prdUvCIrACN5S7i_8lU3iGDDdR7-CNSPpdt7A_DqjIGXE5EVk5vq9s0GtZ1-/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" width="644" /></a>But if you know me, then you know that I am not only a big fat copy cat, but I am also <strike>cheap</strike> thrifty! So, with a little shopping around, I have come up with a budget-friendly way to recreate the Pottery Barn look.<br /><br />1. Wicker charger from Walmart…$4.00                           Pottery Barn…$19.50<br />2. Beaded trim dinner plate from Dollar Tree…$1.00        Pottery Barn…$12.00<br />3. Aqua salad plate from Pier 1…$7.00                             Pottery Barn…$12.00<br />4. Ramekin from World Market…$2.00                             Pottery Barn…$10.50<br />5. Small hobnail bowl from Pier 1…$2.00                         Pottery Barn…$5.00<br />I had to cheat a little on #4 and use a plain white ramekin since I couldn’t find a pretty patterned salad plate like the one on the Pottery Barn site. I will have to give that one to Pottery Barn! <br /><br /><b>Note: </b>I have been told that the charger is not available at many Walmarts. I did see a chunky version, more like the Pottery Barn charger but lighter in color, at my Walmart for only <b>$3.00</b>. They were located with the placemats. The bunny egg cups are also hard to find, since I think each store (in my area, at least) seems to have been issued only eight with only two of them being white. I keep checking and so far no more have arrived. However, I have found white bunny egg cups at World Market<i><a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/product/white+bunny+single+egg+cup.do?&from=fn" target="_blank"> here.</a></i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2K3SUqhqeSrYilnOpusnLMgZH3EpeIblpjcffM4BefCBr3xu1PiVW1v8_gn8-b-X2dMhJ2N_SpCKV6zjYopoJPQcd2S5Xe10J4-glO-9MKHUlAh-mLm_hwlGWSTK3A3apdkUcj8_blZnM/s1600-h/CONFESSIONSOFAPLATEADDICTGettingtheP%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" border="0" height="771" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaLJ-cFcUrbkxAAAHQk3Grkv5Hq8isw5bwMXrk5upDJvuDX1lHLNSWxpUjkjeuS-eBCR-Ow3sOsrDOfdItbHC2dE24oqtcTDyUFg-oMQP6mWub_A0C0FtiRvSN1ffxNUbqTtsMuQsWta2j/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" width="579" /></a>Also on the Pottery Barn table…pretty matching napkins and cute white bunny egg cups! And…here are my versions. I couldn’t find any ready-made napkins that matched my dinnerware, so I opted to make my own, using fabric that I found at JoAnn. It was on sale, but you could always use a coupon. The savings continue!<br /><br />Handmade napkin…$1.00                             Pottery Barn…$7.00<br />Bunny egg cup from Walmart…$3.00           Pottery Barn…$8.50<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjEMG5jX4VEpusyvGBt1iCY-q5gaX5ZcrbNDqUqnqwU_mY1ZHBT-u8NVl6FDRlRSCdUUffPUEhxlhDBnXkZ37lhoB9K0GGpDuMw_YC3wEIgtsU8okwtIkIE7u7sDItZjlo2s2EZ59XF4be/s1600-h/CONFESSIONSOFAPLATEADDICTGettingtheP%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYy6XTftFa-2AYgI5q7UqPQjJilYiqcVQT64HhvRkAH3VEBPrybe_fDqvPMpCtMWyPJHUGAgRuR2V0ukTtA2XM1PUOmHPxfOL7i1nNHocs4DfdODuV2_2l9CtGh8aBMfhFsm3AkcsUv_bo/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less" width="644" /></a> Also on the table…my Pottery Barn inspired <i><a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2014/02/pottery-barn-inspired-burlap-wrapped.html" target="_blank">burlap-wrapped vases</a></i>…easy and inexpensive to make from Dollar Tree vases!
