Easter is right around the corner and at my house I try my hardest to make it look somewhat festive. I think last year was the first time I purchased some Easter/spring decorations I bought on clearance after Easter. So this year I knew I wanted to keep that tradition up but add some subtle Easter decor throughout the house. I'm not a huge fan of decorating the ENTIRE house for the holidays and spending hours doing it. That's a lot of pressure and takes up a lot of time. One of my favorite stores is Cost Plus World Market because they have such a fun and eclectic decor, ethnic foods, stylish house ware items. You can spend hours there. When I decorate for the holidays I like to keep it simple, and my rule of thumb is keep the holiday decorations to only 2-3 areas in the home. Like the front porch, my entry way to the living room, and fireplace mantel in the family room.
One of my favorite things is to bring the outdoors in. We love plants in our family and anyway I can add a bit of greenery in our house, I'm all for it. That's why I thought it would be really fun to create a seasonal terrarium where I add things to it during each holiday to make it festive.
