After getting to a point where I accepted I wouldn’t decorate for this Easter I got sick. I laid on the couch for a day and a half and when I finally got up to do something I gravitated towards my Easter bins. I believe it was the fact I had to do nothing for a day, that I let go of my to-do list and simply allowed myself to go through those bins. It was all very soothing {as it should be—decorating should not be a chore, at least in my case}.
I only picked a few items that I loved. Trying to put it all out was too overwhelming. I wanted simple. And thoughtful. For so long I just put out stuff. And it was cute stuff. And properly placed. But I like having just a few things and letting them have the spotlight.
I do always love Spring though. The colors mesh well with my already existing décor. And something I am learning with the other holidays…to find holiday items that work well with what I already have.
Each item makes me smile. And the idea that they will be out for only a few weeks is very appealing. I know, who have I become? I think I am still in organizing/simplifying stage. So the idea of just a few things out keeps me from feeling like I am adding clutter to the house.
I am finding that it is fun to really love a few things instead of really liking a whole bunch of things. The less I have the more I enjoy. Story of my life right now I guess.
What is inspiring you this Spring?
