Summer Centerpiece for the Coffee Table

 
I wanted to share with you the centerpiece I've had on my coffee table for awhile now. In keeping with the bit of "coastal vibe" I have going on, on my mantel, I created a similar look here.
 
I gathered up the items seen below which included:
 
two glass cylinder vases with inserts, a round basket, some shells, woven balls and faux grasses.
 
Starting with the glass vases, I placed faux grass balls inside the vases and sand, bits of greenery and tealights inside the inserts.
 
 
 
Placing the vases inside the basket, I laid the faux grasses in between them.
 
Taking the other items,
I gradually filled the spaces around the vases until I got a look I liked.


 
 
 
As seen below, you will notice I've used the same basic items of the basket and vases that I used in my winter coffee table centerpiece and...
 
...my Easter/Spring coffee table centerpiece.
 
I like using existing décor and just changing it up a bit for each season.  It saves money and time!
 
 
We might as well check out what's on my end tables as well...
