Nature Inspired Farmhouse Centerpiece

Hi there, Friends! The official first day of fall is just days away and I've been transitioning my decor in hopes that our weather will cooperate soon! Today I'm sharing a simple farmhouse centerpiece that includes a little bit of everything: neutrals with a hint of color, natural elements and upcycled bottles tucked inside a repurposed vintage vessel...

Let's talk about my vintage vessel choice first. Before the current popularity of vintage and reproduction tool caddies, I found this vintage shoe shine box at a yard sale a few years ago and was smitten. Even though the wood had an orangish tint, I grabbed it for $5, promptly gave it a makeover and filled it with pink roses for a repurposed Valentine's Day centerpiece. 

It's had a resting place near a stack of my vintage luggage, but I've been wanting to feature it as a fall centerpiece. 

You may remember the surplus of coffee drink bottles I've upcycled as bottle vases and also as craft storage. It just so happens that six bottles fit inside the shoe shine box perfectly. 

I decided to fill them with a combination of wheat and herbs. The fresh thyme adds a nice fragrance. {Find fresh organic thyme here!} I often use dried blue sage because I have a surplus of it and it looks so similar to lavender.  The wheat was originally from a grocery store bouquet I bought several years ago and have continued to reuse. I like the combination of the three together. 

I always find nature's color palette soothing. Equally soothing--I didn't spend a cent!

Nature is a constant source of inspiration for me so I am really loving this look! If you'd like to create a similar centerpiece, take a walk outdoors and see what you can bring inside. Maybe you already have a wooden caddy or tray that you can arrange. If not, I've provided some links below.
