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.

Easter Bunny Lane 2022

 Back at the holidays I visited Kraynak's across the PA line from me in Hermitage, PA. There was a whole post in December on their elaborate display. However, the greenhouse and gift shop also goes all out in the spring as well with their Easter Bunny Lane display. Below are some scenes from the display and a full walkthrough can be viewed as well on my YouTube Channel

If you live anywhere near this gem, it is definitely worth a visit in person. The displays are animated as well and there is themed music playing throughout. 

The display begins at the county fair complete with booths, games, rides, and prize-winning animals....




As you continue on the scene changes to a backyard BBQ hosted by Mr. Cottontail....



There is also an elaborate boxing match display...



Before leading into a Noah's ark exhibit, a solute to our soldiers, and a Passion scene...






Again, as mentioned, these are only a few scenes from the display... a full walkthrough can be viewed on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. Please hit subscribe to receive alerts of future posts. Comment below if you have been to Kraynak's or have something similar near you.

Easter Decor 2022

Just like the sight of the first robin for the year, putting up the Easter decor around my home signifies the arrival of spring to me. The bright colors and cheery additions instantly brighten my mood. 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. 


Inside the door, I changed my usual display to add more lighter colors by filling a glass urn with bright faux Easter eggs and small bunny knickknacks found in the Target dollar spot this year. 


To the other side, I decided to pull my whimsical Easter village out of storage. I hadn't used these pieces in years! I collected these several years ago from JoAnn's, I don't believe they still make a village.  displayed the pieces at varying heights to be able to fit them all into a small space. 


To further brighten the living room, I added an Easter throw and covered the pillows with covers from Hobby Lobby.  I am also always amazed how Dante somehow knows to change his toys out with the seasons as well. He pulled this bunny toy out on his own!




The jackalope pillow cover on the chair inspired me to change by usual dough bowl out for a gold horn adorned catch all bowl as well on the ottoman. 


In the dining room, I changed the usual chicken fruit bowl on the buffet for this adorable straw figurine of a bunny couple in a gondola. 


I also opted to update the display on the fireplace to showcase my hand painted Orthodox Easter egg collection.
