A turf runner for Easter.
Turf on the table for real, does it look like grass?
Martha thinks so, she sells it in the Grand in Road catalog for $59 plus shipping for a 18″w x 72″l piece.
(You can see it here, I couldn’t get the picture to copy.)
I paid $11 for a 3′ x 12′ piece. Enough to cover my entire table two times over.
Simply cut to size and glue the edges under for a finished look.
Turf on the mantle too, why not?
Here you can see the edge glued under:
Definitely looking like grass now:
All the animals have a soft place to graze:

I want to try something similar with astroturf. I found these place mats (http://www.butterflycraze.com/grass_mat2.php) which I think would be a cute idea to use for decorating my twin daughters' room, but I know I can do it cheaper with standard astroturf.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in my decorating ideas. 🙂

Terrific idea and yours looks just as good as Martha's for much cheaper! Love your little egg plates with the nests. And how I'd love some of those little lambs on your table too! I think a lamb is more of a symbol of Easter than bunnies and chicks and I'm hoping to get some this year.

I love those little lambs too. Where'd you get them? Seems like I've seen them before, but can't remember where.
Bethany says
Just popped over from Between u and Me. This is super adorable!!! I never thought of using turf before for grass…
I have the same mantle as you (seriously–identical)…this would look good there 🙂
Barbara says
So delightful! I am ready for spring! Everything is so fresh and pretty.
