Come Springtime, I start gathering my white pitchers to use throughout our home.
Spring may still be several weeks away, but I am starting to get my mindset into Spring mode now. I have a smaller collection of white Farmhouse pitchers in assorted shapes and sizes. Some are vintage and some are straight from IKEA. I love that a white pitcher basically creates a backdrop for any kind of flower or planting, and they are beautiful within a grouping or as a stand alone decor item. Here are 10 Ways to Use White Farmhouse Pitchers.

Last Spring, I created a simple blue and white tablescape with a white pitcher as the centerpiece in this Farmhouse Kitchen Tablescape. I used white tulips and tall, white willowy flowers – simple but statement filled.
More white flowers filled another white pitcher on the kitchen island…
Farmhouse 5540 gathered an armful of apple blossoms and placed them inside a white pitcher for a stunning touch of Farmhouse in the Spring.
One of my absolute favorite Bloggers, Vibeke Design, uses two white pitchers filled with Springy blue and white florals to create this stunning vignette.
My sweet friend, Yvonne with Stone Gable, is fabulous at using white pitchers in her stunning vignettes. Here she gathers smaller vintage pitchers for holding silverware.
L’ Armoire de Camille gathers white Queen Anne’s lace into this vintage white bowl and pitcher set.
Another dear friend, Becca of Adventures in Decorating, gathered some fabulous French Farmhouse items into this charming little kitchen vignette, with the white pitcher as the star!
Vintage Rose Brocante gathered one of my fave flowers, Sweet Peas, in her white enamel pitcher.
Back to Farmhouse 5540 again, she proves that beautiful white hydrangeas in a simple white pitcher is all the decor you need to make a statement in any room – even in a bathroom.
What is your favorite way for using white pitchers? How many do you own? I am always on
the lookout for more…cause you can never have too many white pitchers in my book.
Here are a few I found online I am contemplating purchasing…
Classic Porcelain Pitcher || 64oz Messina Pitcher || Straight Sided Pitcher
Cordon Bleu White Pitcher || White Hydrangea Pitcher

i love your site, and the referrals to other blogs. i have a particular style, and i enjoy looking.
one thing that i am puzzled about, t appears that every surface is used for a display, there is barely any room to set something down. how do you keep all this clean, how do you work in this space, preparing meals, etc.
when the weather permits, our windows are open, i have three dogs, our hobbies are outdoor hobbies,
i don’t want to clean, i don’t want to nag people about sitting on the furniture. your home is lovely, how do you do it?
Susan you have to keep in mind that our blogs are much like magazines… we stage our homes to take pretty pictures for you to enjoy. I also like to remind my readers that an ongoing joke between us bloggers is much of it is smoke and mirrors. In my case, you would be appalled at my house right now outside of the camera view, with three cats and three messy grandchildren living with us. 😀 Trust me, this is a well-loved home. 😀
Barb, you are so sweet! I love how genuine you are! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing your blogs in my in box.
Sincerely Ann
Barb and All~
I applaud the consideration of a pretty picture vs. a well lived-in home. I grew up in a picture perfect setting. No fun. Living and loving are messy propositions! But there is a good lesson of self responsibility when we all clean up together . . . anyway, that’s the balance I aim for.
Great site. Thanks for all the everyday home ideas.

I love white dishes and especially white pitchers. As I read your post, kept repeating “I have that one, I have that one!!” Thanks for giving me more ideas.
Love white pitchers with the flowers…I like to group them on my dinning room table. Thanks for your blog…love getting you posts.

I believe the white pitcher is here to stay. I use them all year. especially Spring and Summer. The bring a little crispness to any decor.
love,love love the farmhouse look!!! thanks for the inspiration.
Love the French enamel pitcher! Thank you for the ideas. I look forward to your blog.
Thank you for all the ideas. Love blue and white. Tired of the white snow,though! We live in the snow belt in cny, it’s been a long winter.
I love, love, love white farmhouse pitchers!!!!! Every time I see one I have to purchase it. I agree that they can be place anywhere in your house and they add so much! Thanks for the article. Love them!
These white pitchers all look wonderful; thanks for showing so many of them! And that first amazon link is a great buy–just over $12 for a 64 oz. pitcher! You were kind to find some available for purchase. It’s easy to see things on blogs and wish you could easily find something similar to buy. You’re a smart cookie!
I have an Alfred Meken pitcher that was my mother’s that I like to use for flowers!!
Love all the pictures you have posted with white pitchers! So pretty and inspirational!
Love all of the great ideas for using white pitchers!! I’ve picked up several different sizes over the last few years at Goodwill and can’t wait to use these ideas in displaying them! Thanks for sharing….
Love the white pitchers! With simplicity, there is elegance.

Love all the white pitchers and how they are made to fill a space that I would never have thought would work.
These photos are so inspiring? I can’t wait to decorate for spring.
Barb – thanks again for getting me into the spring spirit. I put together some Mardi Gras vignettes and now ready for spring/easter. Again, thanks for your continuing inspiration!
I too love white pitchers and any pitchers actually. Wishing for daffodils to fill one with. Thanks for sharing this early spring inspiration!
What is it about a white pitcher that makes it soooo appealing? I have never found one I did not love and somehow they just end up in my cart and become another fun item to play with. They are even beautiful empty, but your inspirations here are the best! Thank you!
Hi Barb.
You’ve done an awesome job with the presentation! Would you come decorate my home now!?? Lol.
I love white pitchers filled with flowers anytime of year!
Oh I just LOVE !Farmhouse style!the best! I have a farm and farmhouse !! lOVE!LOVE your post !!
My son and daughter-in-law are building their first home. They are decorating in Modern Farmhouse style. I will definitely be showing them this blog on white pitcher decorating. Just beautiful, simple, and so homey! Thank you.
Barb, I just love white pitchers — and flowers — and your lovely posts!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings!
I use my white pitchers all the time – mostly for flowers but I decorate with them for every season. They really are one of the most versatile things I own! Love your examples!

It’s fun you pick other blogs that are my favorites also, especially Vibeke. Enjoyed this post as it is fresh and hopeful of spring, whenever it finally comes, Thanks, Sandi
I love using the white pitchers for all year round decor. I keep a few of them to vary with the seasons and while I do have some colored pitchers, I still can’t help reaching to my white ones when I am not sure how the others would work. Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures Barb!
Blessings,
Cindy
Oooh, I love that pitcher of flowers sitting on the stool! I have to find a corner in my home to do that in. So gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your ideas with us at Merry Monday this week!
I didn’t realize how much I loved the simplicity of a white pitcher until my Mother gave me one several years ago. I placed flowers in it and it came to life, and it takes on different lives depending on the new setting it is placed in! She is 86 now and we live it different states. To keep you n touch. Email her a picture of the day. I think it is time to send her a white pitcher picture!
Barb, beautiful pictures and pitchers! I have one farmhouse pitcher, and I use it more often as a vase that for direct purpose! I especially love the picture with vintage scales. Pinned it! 🙂
I really enjoyed the white pitchers. To be honest, I wouldn’t have thought of this and I live in the country! I read about your health scare. Being a breast cancer survivor, the poking and probing isn’t fun. But please continue to monitor. I hope your doctor has a recheck MRI scheduled in 6 months. For your current surgery, I’ve been there too. It’s not a bad surgery, you’ll do great! Enjoy the lake and the much needed rest! !!
Barb, this post has inspired me to go to all the craft stores this week and pick up some floral stems. I have two antique white pitchers to display. Thanks for the ideas & I’m praying for your speedy recovery after your surgery. Hang in there and don’t let your nerves get to you. You will be fine 😉
Thanks for sharing such a pleasant opinion, piece of writing
is pleasant, thats why i have read it entirely
Absolutely beautiful! You have such an eye for decorating! Love it!
Love the way you decorate, might have to steal ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking the time and actual effort to generate
a superb article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and
never manage to get anything done.
I must thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this blog. In truth, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my very own blog now 😉
I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this article together.
I love all the ways you are using a white pitcher! Everything looks so summery!
These white pitchers are so classic and so versatile. They add a nice touch to any area of your home. They look especially nice with greenery or flowers in them.
I have a lazy susan in the middle of my dining room table and I love to load it with three or four bouquets in white pitcherst and then rotate it throughout the day to constantly enjoy a new view.
Beautiful and refreshing look. This is my first visit to your site and I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Hi Colleen – so glad you found The Everyday Home. I hope you enjoyed your visit and come back often. 🙂 Thanks, Barb
I just found your blog and I love it!
