Can you believe we are in the final days of July? Summer is melting away! It is hard to believe we are sharing a new monthly Pinterest Challenge already! The weeks are flying by! So when Cindy from County Road 407 chose a fun lemon themed arrangement for this month’s Pinterest Challenge I was all in for this one.
If you are stopping by from Katie’s blog, Let’s Add Sprinkles.Welcome to Everyday Edits.
This time of year I have a basket full of lemons (and limes) to sweeten my tea and bubbly water. Cindy found our inspiration with this arrangement from Mary and on her blog, Home Is Where the Boat Is.
Lemon Centerpiece for the Kitchen
The best part of this month’s Pinterest Challenge was my kitchen smelled like fresh lemons. I am usually in such a rush to toss a lemon wedge in my water, I never stop long enough to smell … the lemons. #wink
Elements for a Lemon Centerpiece
I pulled a few elements from Mary’s inspirational photo to create my lemon centerpiece for the kitchen table.
- lemons
- water
- flowers (real or faux)
- glass vases ( milk jar + mason jars)
The anchor to my lemon centerpiece was the new tiered tray I purchased here. It was the perfect anchor for this monthly challenge.
I used a combination of fresh lemons, artificial lemon branches and glass jars for my lemon centerpiece.
What I love about a tiered tray for a kitchen centerpiece are the layers. I started with a stash of lemon branches.
My challenge (no pun intended) was to find a smaller vase to insert into my mason jar. I did not have “nesting vases” so I had to wing it with a small glass milk jar (from a garage sale) and a mason jar. The mason jar was a little too big for my tiered tray so I could not add fresh flowers to the center of the two vases.
But that was okay because the fresh lemons and water was both pretty and made the kitchen smell lemony fresh.
And, for a fun add-on to my centerpiece, I added this Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy wood block. I may have added a leftover gingham cardboard box from this project.
This was such a fun Pinterest Challenge. I loved the challenge of the mason jars and fresh lemons.

Such a cute tiered tray grouping. I love the lemon themed block. Happy summer served on a tray!
I love it. Your vase looks like a fresh glass of lemonade. Your tiered tray is adorable too. I love the little sign.
I love the look of all of this! The blue, white, and yellow is a great color combo too!
Each element on your tray is fun and they come together beautifully. Now I want to go make a glass of lemon water.
Such a pretty, lemony tiered tray, Laura! Lemon is a lovely fragrance, isn’t it?
You can’t go wrong with lemon themed decor for summer! I really like your new tiered tray!
I love decorating tiered trays. Your tray is so cute dressed in lemons. Brings a bit of sunshine in the room.
Your crown of lemons is a great way to use our inspiration on your tiered tray. The sign is adorable as well!
Such a great idea to use a glass and tiered tray Laura! I love how it turned out. Thanks so much for joining us. Enjoy that lemony kitchen scent! Pinned
Thank you Cindy! You are a great hostess for this monthly challenge. I have so enjoyed getting to know these women.
Hi Laura! I love that you used your new tiered tray for your centerpiece. That’s what I really like about these Pinterest Challenges ~ you just make it your own and use what works for you. <3 It's very pretty and I love the "easy peasy." (I borrowed it from Cindy, 407). The greenery and lemons plus the cute blue/white checks are really pretty together…
Enjoy your centerpiece and yes, I cannot believe in just a few days it is August…
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
Laura, I love how you used the tiered tray. The lemons in water floating was a lovely idea. I bet your kitchen does smell wonderful.
Hi Carol, This tiered tray is my new favorite accessory.
Your styled tiered tray with lemon decor is so adorable for summer! I love lemon water and yours looks so refreshing and I know it smelled so good! The cute gingham box adds a fun pop of summer blue too.
So fun hopping with you! Enjoy the rest of summer!
Thank you Amber!
