Easter Decor 2023

There is nothing like the arrival of Easter and the clocks changing with Daylight Savings time to make it seem like warmer weather is right around the corner! The lighter color palettes are so cheery and bright. I love to make these additions around my home to brighten things up. I hope by viewing my decor, you get some ideas for your own home as well. 

                              

I began, of course, by changing the front door wreath. This wreath below is actually a garland I wired onto a grapevine wreath and added a bow to. For the backdoor, I simply used a cheap sign from Dollar Tree and spruced it up with a nice ribbon bow at the top.


In the kitchen, I simply added a few touches on the island. I truly wanted to do less in holiday decor this year while still having smaller touches throughout the house.


I tried to add these touches by changing out the floral arrangements to match the season and add small spring and Easter touches as well. For the arrangement above, I added a bouquet of spring flowers from MacKenzie Childs along with a Michael's pick of a bunny that I was drawn to because the bunny is made entirely of hydrangea petals. 

Below, I made full use of the packaging that Chanel sends their smaller products in by filling the box with carrots and florals of hydrangea and Lavendar also from Michael's


                                     

Adding in seasonal collections as well, even if a smaller collection adds to the cheerfulness for me. In the living room, I decided to display my collection of hand painted Orthodox eggs. 

                                     



Another small touch I make easily, from season to season is to change out my throw blankets and pillow covers. I get my pillow covers rather inexpensively on Shein in the home section.


It is also important to me to display items or have some touches that are truly me. I of course and Italian and so love touches that remind me of my heritage.  When I found this straw Easter gondola a few years ago, I knew I had to pick it up. This year I chose to use it as a centerpiece on the dining room table. 



Over by the TV I also incorporated in my love of yoga by adding this golden dog in Sukhasana pose.

"March"-ing Into Spring

 Oh, how spring is fast approaching! and I plan to enjoy and celebrate every minute of it! The days are getting longer and brighter. Daylight savings time comes to an end and the first official day of spring hits this month as well. 

I am already beginning to see the changes in nature. The sunrises almost seem more vibrant. Green shoots are sprouting up as daffodils, hyacinths, and crocus try to peak through the frosty ground. Signs of new life and new beginnings are all around. 

Nature is showing us that all things are reborn just as Persephone emerges from the underworld in Greek mythology, I too am trying to embrace my emergence into a new chapter.

My March "Bucket List" Items:

  • Begin planning my garden.
  • Begin transitioning my wardrobe.
  • Be outside as much as possible.
Comment below: How are you embracing the coming of spring this month?
