Hope you all enjoyed St. Paddy’s Day!

March is really flying by, isn’t it? Now that all the leprechaun fun is dying down, I’m looking forward to taking down the St. Patrick’s Day decorations from my mantel (click here, if you missed that post!), and decorating it for Easter over the next few days.

I’m not sure what I’ll come up with. I’ll definitely use some of my favorite Easter decorations, but I enjoy changing things up from year to year.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share some of my Easter decorating ideas over the past few years.

My favorite place to start is my mantel!

Over the past few years, I’ve created several Easter and Spring Mantels. The simple Easter mantel below, was from 2011. Since then, it’s been featured at both HGTV.com.and Better Homes & Gardens in round-ups of Easter mantel decorating ideas, and more recently at One King’s Lane. I liked how the muted color scheme was calming, and blended in with our decor. Most Easter decorations are really colorful – with pinks, yellows and greens – but that doesn’t mean you have to go that route if you prefer a simpler look.

This next mantel was not nearly as under-stated! Last spring, I decided to decorate around the song “Singing in the Rain” which my daughter sang in a local musical festival at the time. I created it in early Spring, and planned to keep it this way through Easter.

As much as I loved the pink and other happy colors, I grew tired of them, and decided to change it up again before Easter holidays! (Yes, I’m that much of a freak when it comes to seasonal decor ;-).) Because I was getting tired of decorating the mantel by then (ha!), I kept it much simpler with some candles, a green feather wreath with blue eggs, and a couple of mercury-glass looking decorative Easter eggs.
