Not only does April mean spring has finally sprung, it means we can start decorating for Easter! If there’s a holiday coming up, it’s only right to decorate for it. You can get into the spirit of things in your home with just a touch of Easter here or there. Check out some of these Easter decorating ideas below and see if any of these ideas will work for you!

For more subtle decorations, scatter pastel colors throughout your home. A couple of pillows here, a vase or two there, maybe a throw over the back of a chair and you’ve instantly got a springtime, Easter home.

Another way to subtle introduce Easter decorations into your room is by filling your space with flowers. Spring is all about new growth, and what better way to celebrate than filling your home and front porch with flowers?

On the other hand, you can completely embrace Easter and decorate with bunnies, eggs, and chicks. Fill up a vase with dyed eggs or display a bunny figurine on your mantel and you’ll be ready for Easter!

Hang an Easter-themed wreath on your front door. This egg wreath (or one you can DIY!) or a wreath filled with flowers would be perfect.
Concentrate all your Easter decorations into one space by creating a stunning centerpiece. Table centerpieces are easy to clean up, don’t make your home feel cluttered, and can be a big statement.

Hang an Easter banner somewhere in your home - maybe on your fireplace mantle? You can easily make your own.

Flower Pot Ideas
I didn’t realize how difficult it is to find flower pots that I liked until I was trying to put together our front porch. It’s difficult to find something that fit the space, looks good and adds character to what could otherwise be a bland front porch. If you’re in the same boat I was in and are trying to figure out different flower pot ideas, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve gathered together a variety of ideas to help get your flower pots all ready for spring.

Get multiple pots in a variety of sizes to keep things interesting on your porch. You can pick different colors and textures of pots or you can get all the same pots just in different sizes. These metal planters would be a unique way to display your flowers.

If you’ve searched and searched but still aren’t able to find a pot that fits your style, think about decorating your own! You can purchase a cheap, plain planter and make it into something beautiful. I’m in love with these painted pots and am seriously trying to figure out where they can go in my garden. For a whole list of DIY flower pot ideas, click here.

For yards or areas with limited space, look to the walls for space. There are lots of DIY ideas for creating wall hanging planters, but if you’re not crafty this metal wall planter would work perfectly.
via One Kings Lane
Don’t limit yourself to pots on the ground. A cart filled with smaller pots can create an impact without taking up too much room. Something like this, maybe?
via Decoarchi
Avoid thinking less is more - fill your area with pots of all sorts of shapes and sizes! It could be easy to go overboard, so make sure you take a step back to make sure you aren’t being overwhelmed by planters. Done correctly, though, this look makes a big statement.

Cheese Plate Ideas
When entertaining, there is nothing that creates a more festive atmosphere than a really well-stocked cheese plate. Cheese plates are delicious, light enough for appetizers or an after dinner snack, and are a great way to serve food while people mingle. If you’ve never put together a cheese plate, don’t let that stop you! Use this guide to set up the perfect cheese plate for your next party.
Cheese Plate Ideas
The Ingredients:
Obviously, you will need cheese. You can go as big as you want, but four kinds of cheese is a good place to start. You’ll want to pick a variety of cheeses, but if you aren’t sure where to begin pick two soft kinds of cheese like Brie, fontina, or blue, and two hard kinds of cheese like parmesan, cheddar, or Gouda. All these cheeses should be easy to find at your grocery store.]
Next, you need crackers or bread. A couple of different types of crackers or thinly sliced baguette is all you’ll need.
Something sweet to compliment the salty cheese and crackers is always welcome, so include either a small bowl of jam, grapes, honey, or sliced fruit.
You may also want to include something non-dairy like pickles, salami, olives, etc. Just to add variety.
The Presentation:
The presentation of your cheese plate is important. If you have a slate cheese board, perfect! If you don’t, a wooden cutting board like this or a flat plate will work just as well.
Make sure you arrange it carefully. If the cheeses are too close together you won’t have room to cut anything.
Crackers and bread should be placed in a separate basket or bowl.
Serve your cheese at room temperature so make sure you pull them out at least an hour before you’ll be presenting your cheese plate.
Try putting together a cheese plate and you’ll never want to host a party without one!

Garden Ideas
Coming up with different ideas of how to make your garden more unique doesn’t have to be difficult. Whether you’re planting flowers or vegetables, think outside the box and make your garden beautiful. Here are five ideas you may want to think about doing this summer!
Garden Ideas
via Fine Gardening
Think about including trees in your garden area. Obviously you’ll need the sun to grow your vegetables, but a fruit tree to the side will break up your garden and be delicious. In your flower garden, trees will add height and depth.
via Gardenista
Add gravel walkways through your garden. For a modern look stick with straight lines and sharp edges. If you’re hoping to create a more organic feel, curved paths are the way to go. It’s a budget-friendly way to stop weeds and create an inviting space.
via Mescouilles
Lights in your garden will make it shine at night. Think about adding bistro lights hung in trees or small solar lights scattered throughout.
via Country Living
If you have small children or grandchildren exploring your garden, include a small fairy garden for them to find. Nothing could be more magical!
Add interest with vertical planters in your garden. This DIY planter is beautiful and will help create different sections in your yard.

B-Ball Watching Party Ideas
As my husband would say, 'it's the most wonderful time of the year!' Happy March Madness season, folks!! How are your brackets doing? I'll be honest- I'm not typically a big sports person, but I love everything about March Madness! Especially when the underdogs come out on top! It's not too early to start making party plans for the championship! Here are a few great, yet simple ideas if you're thinking about hosting.....
Throw A Cereal Party
Is there anything better than binging on sugar cereal every once in a while? Have every guest bring a box or two of cereal, you provide the bowls and milk, and BAM- you've got yourself an awesome evening! The best part is that you can try a variety of cereals in one night! I dare you to stop at two or three bowls....

Host A Make Your Own Pizza Party
Give every guest their own chunk of pizza dough to roll out, and then have a bar filled with all of the pizza toppings you can think of under then sun. Easy set up, delicious eats, and everyone is happy!
via pinterest

Host A Fast Food Party
Sometimes greasy fast food is just what the doctor ordered (especially when you are watching sports)! Pick up burgers and fries from a handful of fast food restaurants, and make it a night of basketball watching and taste testing. Wouldn't it be fun to vote on who makes the best fry?

And as far as a great Television to watch the game on...... RC Willey has got you covered!

Spring Cleaning Tips
It’s finally spring and you know what that means - spring cleaning! I’ll admit that I don’t often have the drive to seriously clean my house, but there really is something about the change of seasons that makes me want to tackle all the grim that has built up all winter. Get your spring cleaning done before it gets so nice outside you won’t want to stay in your house! Throw open your windows and follow these spring cleaning tips.
Spring Cleaning Tips
- Make a list of everything you need to do. Think about the places you skip on your day to day cleanings, like baseboards and air vents. This Spring Cleaning Checklist I found from Sylvane can help you get started.
- Declutter as you go. This is your chance to load up your car with everything you want to donate and get rid of it! You’ll not only feel more organized, but you’ll also be able to keep your home cleaner longer as well.
- Work from the top down. Wiping off the blades of ceiling fans or brushing cobwebs from the corners of the room will make your floor dirty, so save yourself time and don’t redo jobs you’ve already done.
via 104homestead
- Wash your windows on a cloudy day to avoid streaks and clean your window screens. Take your screens out, squirt them with soap, and rinse them down with the hose outside. You’ll love looking out a clean window.
- Move furniture around so you can get hard to reach areas and the dust mites that hide there. You’ll be surprised, and a little grossed out, by all the dust sticking to your walls behind your furniture.
- When cleaning your kitchen, take this as a chance to get rid of any appliances or kitchen tools you don’t need. You’ll be able to open drawers and cupboards easier and keep things more organized.
- Wash all your bedding, including your down comforter. To keep your down comforter from balling up and getting ruined in the wash, throw a couple of tennis balls in your dryer to puff it up.
- If your shower curtain is covered in watermarks and stains, throw it in the wash with a few towels and hang it up to dry. It’ll feel brand new and make your whole bathroom fresher.
- Wipe down your patio furniture with warm water and dish soap so that you’re ready for the warm days ahead.
What are some of your tips for spring cleaning?

Apartment Decor
When it comes to decorating your apartment, it can be hard to find the motivation to actually make your apartment feel like home. If you’re planning on only being there a short time it can be tempting to just deal with what you have, but once you’ve decorated your apartment you’ll be able to see what a difference a few personal touches can make! With RC Willey’s Small Spaces Furniture, you’ll be able to fill your apartment with things you love and create a space you want to stay in.
via Livabl
Find furniture that makes a statement. Most apartments are pretty basic, so adding pops of color or style will immediately make your home stand out. Something like this turquoise sofa sleeper or this leather sectional would be perfect!
via RC Willey
Create a more layered look by adding rugs. Most likely your apartment has uninspired carpet or easy to clean laminate flooring. Rugs will make your room cozier and will help tie everything together. I love the looks of this charcoal rug, don’t you?
via Domino
Just because you’re in an apartment doesn’t mean you shouldn’t display art. In fact, displaying art is the best way to make a room feel finished and lived in! If you aren’t able to put holes in the wall to hang your art, propping it up against a fireplace mantel or on top of a dresser will work as well.
via RC Willey
Apartments often lack storage, so if you can find furniture that has storage options you’ll be able to have a much more organized and put together apartment. For a guest room or a kid’s room, this daybed with storage underneath would be a great way to save space.
via Emily Henderson
Window coverings can be dirty, old, or worn out so consider adding curtains to hide the eyesore. It’ll completely change the feel of the room!

Velvet
If you want to add a little sophisticated glam to your home, a great option is to incorporate a little velvet! A rich velvet sofa or chair can help create a soft, warm, inviting atmosphere with just a little hint of feminism. Go big, or go small; go bright or go neutral- whatever way you do, you can't go wrong. Check out the interiors below- I mean, what's not to love? I'm sold.

DIY Bathroom Ideas
Completely renovating a bathroom is not only inconvenient, but it can also be extremely expensive. After adding up the demo, all the new materials, and the labor involved, an average bathroom remodel costs around $10,000. Don’t worry though! You don’t have to live with that dated bathroom forever. While you may not be able to do serious remodeling yourself, there are some easy DIY bathroom ideas that will make a huge difference in the overall feel of the room.

Change the light fixtures. This may involve patching the wall and paint, but it’ll be worth the effort. Light fixtures completely change the feel of the room so pick something you love and make it happen!

Paint the vanity. Rather than ripping the entire thing out and buying a new one, think about what a difference a couple coats of paint will make.
If painting the vanity isn’t an option or your current vanity isn’t worth saving, think creatively about how to replace it. You can always purchase a new one, but it’s possible to repurpose another piece of furniture as well. We bought a used buffet table, drilled a hole for a sink and cut out the back to fit the plumbing. It was not only budget-friendly, it was completely unique!
via freshouz
Swap out the hardware to something that makes a statement. Knobs, handles, towel racks, and toilet paper holders don’t have to be an eyesore.
If nothing else, paint your walls a new color. You’ll love how fresh and clean your bathroom feels with a new coat of paint.
