After Easter decor

151949 — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 13:17:49 GMT

I wonder what you all put out after you take down the Easter decorations. Next holiday isn't until Memorial Day - quite a ways away.

I got a few beach decor items I am going to put out as our weather is turning to summer here in Fl. - hopefully!

After Easter I go back to my regular decor which is actually my favorite decor. Things stay that way (although I tend to move things around a bit) untill September when the fall stuff comes out.

I do not decorate for the summer patriotic holidays. Not my thing.

Spring door wreaths and hanging baskets (Bethlehem lights - lights only worked for 2 weeks, flowers however still look great after four years). Shortly now planting annual flowers around the patio.

I clear the mantle of all Easter and put up springish things and change the door decoration to something more spring like in color....

I just wish our weather would warm up a tad....40 degrees and windy here and I want sunshine.

I do fall or harvest decor and Christmas, otherwise, I don't give much of a nod to other holidays or seasons. I might change up pillows, throws and other accessories to lighten things up a bit for spring or summer, but that's more or less it.

My Easter decor is really just spring/summer decor with a few bunnies added, so I remove the bunnies and I'm good to go forward. My house is in seasonal identity crisis right now. Only one bedroom, the kitchen and the breakfast room have been changed over to their warm weather wardrobe. The other bedrooms and living rooms are still sporting their after-Christmas winter colors.

I have very little Easter decor, just on my kitchen counter area, and fill a couple of lanters. When I put that small box of things away, my kitchen counter will get a few summer themed things till the tiny box of Americana comes out close to Labor Day. I will be on 'standard decor time' until late August or right after Labor Day, when my fall things come out.

This is the time of year where my home is free of excess decor. No wreaths on the doors, fewer things on all surfaces, fewer pillows and throws being displayed. In general a more open, light and clean look. I love it as much as I do when it's time to get out the fall things. I like the various changes in my decor throughout the year. Sometimes I feel like nesting and getting things out (fall and holiday/winter) other times I like it more clean and open. Change is good!

I don't decorate for Easter pers se. I decorate for Spring and I do it for Easter because I usually have friends and family for Easter dinner. I do put a big Easter basket full of Easter candy on the sideboard. I go with my summer theme around Memorial Day.

Spring wreaths (not Easter specific) on the doors carry my decorating through June/July, when succulent wreaths replace spring decor. Indoors, spring bunnies and eggs are replaced with fresh flowers when in bloom during the summer months.
Fall is my favorite season and that's when autumnal colors and pumpkins decorate inside and outside.
Halloween time is quite elaborate with spooky but tasteful decor. At Thanksgiving I turn around my "Give Thanks" pumpkins to show their message of gratitude. Yuletide is overlapped with Thanksgiving with decorated trees, lights, wreaths and seasonal decor.
I have outdoor seasonal hanging signs (on arrow bracket) that get changed out as well. Which reminds me, now that the snow has melted, time to hang up spring flowers sign.

Right now my home is totally bare of ANY decor due to it having been "staged" for sale. Well, that is over , so after the housekeeper comes Wed. AM to clean , I'm going to be very happy to put my family photos and decor back out, so we are back to feeling cozy & comfortable in our home.

Forgot to mention that I use a lot of fresh flowers in the spring and summer. Last Sunday we had a big party here (a shower actually) and I had twenty dozen tulips all over the house.

I buy fresh flowers throughout the spring and summer.

@151949 ~ I decorate with a lot of natural looking things ~ bird's nests, moss mushrooms, bunches of faux flowers such as forsythia things like that. I just leave all of that out until it's time to decorate for Fall.

I definitely have a lot of Easter out now. I'm thinking about leaving some of the sisal bunnies (from Pier 1) that don't scream Spring out after the holiday. I bought Valerie's two bunnies on the bikes and thought those would be okay to leave out, too. Not sure yet...

Once the little bit of Easter decor gets put away, I don't do anything else til fall.

I only decorate for Christmas and even that is minimal. Rest of the year, just the normal stuff is out.

Just my regular things. I leave one rabbit out. We have real rabbits all year long. They live under our shed and are so cute. This year I am getting rid of anything that collects dust. Want easy clean things. Well not everything.

After Easter its mostly floral decor and a couple of Jim Shore pieces......

In my living room on top of my bookcase I use luminara candles on Valerie Parr Hill pedestals with the floral candle rings. On an end table a photo in an antique frame. I will put a floral arrangement on my dinning room table. And a Valerie Parr Hill flower arrangement on my coffee table....and my Jim Shore spring birds......On another bookcase I have a floral arrangement with a Jim Shore angel and thats where I have a real Slatkin candle...........

Unless you operate a nursery school or kindergarten, why is it necessary to always have some cutesy decor in your house, especially if the occupants are adults? Give it a rest.

Re: After Easter decor

151949 — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 21:09:26 GMT

@Kachina624 Because it makes a home cozy & warm and personal vs bare & cold. It doesn't have to be "cutsey" for children - it can be very adult and sophisticated.

Because you do it in a sophisticated way so that it is neither "cutesy" nor "kindergarten."
