Decorating Ideas for a Festive Easter
Time for the pastel fairies to torture us all. Pinks and purples, robin egg blue and bright yellow….
BUT how happy it makes everyone – the darkness is going and the warmth is coming!
The center of our universe, the kitchen table…I mentioned when decorating for Christmas that I don’t usually do much with this area. But apparently I have done it for Easter before because I found this runner in my arsenal. The Easter egg tree was purchased at a discount craft store years ago. I love it because I can push and pull the branches out to make it look however I want.
I changed the middle candle to a light blue to match the runner. It is another small change to make a big difference with little effort.
The entryway table, or my new decorating area, got a little makeover. I found this runner at a craft store and thought, it could stay all Spring, not just Easter. The tall Easter egg branches were too tall to put in my normal vase, so I used the more sturdy one from the mantle. I replaced the green clover bunches with the tulips from Valentines Day decor…since tulips are in bloom right now!!
The littlest munchkin saw these branches and said “oh Mom, we HAVE to have these!” It was 50% off all floral items, so we scored these for $4 a piece. I think they look darn good in that vase too!
As usual, front door gets a wreath or sign to let the neighbors know…we are festive! This might be one of my favorite door hangers. I bought it years ago and have taken such good care of it because I’ve never seen another one like it. I just hope the birds don’t get confused and lay their eggs in there. One year, a bird made her nest in our newspaper box under the mailbox. When the eggs hatched, we got dive-bombed every time we went to get the mail.
I love tulips and apparently my kids do too. So I will plant these bulbs somewhere when they are done blooming. I should investigate how to do this…..
Have fun with your festive decorating, it can make you feel like you’ve accomplished something, without overwhelming you and the kids like to know what is coming next!
Happy decorating,
