How to Style Artisanal Weathered White Swan Planters

June 8, 2025

It looks as though swan decor popularity is at an all-time high these days. And it's no secret that I'm a swan lover extraordinaire -- so that's good news for me! I recently added two chalkware-like swan planters to my collection and today I'm sharing how I styled them along with some helpful tips for future styling as well.

I've wanted swan planters like these for a long time, so I've basically been in heaven and having fun styling them for the first time.

It's that time of year again. Lilacs are in bloom, everywhere! I'm not familiar with
all the different types of lilacs that are out there but I can tell you that our lilac bushes
are in their glory right now.

Lilacs in Bloom

We had huge lilac bushes in the back yard when I was growing up.  I remember their strong fragrance and how I loved to cut the flowers and bring them inside. I even remember bringing them to school for my teachers.

We now have huge lilac bushes on our property today, and I still love their fragrance and delicate blooms from spring into early summer.

They seem to go well with one of my ironstone soup tureens. 

What do you think?

I played with some Picmonkey effects because my iPhone is not taking very good pictures since the iOS7 update.


Is there a flower that you associate with your childhood?



Lilac bushes are actually from the olive family, and they attract butterflies which I absolutely love about them.

Well, that's it for today, friends!
