Easter Bunny Living Room Ideas | Cozy Spring Decor Ideas | DIY Easter Mantel | Spring florals 🌸

Hey there and welcome to my home for another decorating video. I am officially starting to decorate for Easter and I'm so happy to be sharing it here with you. My focus today is going to be my living room. So this morning I'm going to decorate a couple of vignettes and then I really am thinking about doing a DIY spring garland on my mantle so I'll probably have to run to Michaels and grab a few things. I'll definitely take you shopping with me so we'll do that in a bit as well but I just wanted to quickly tell you thank you so much for joining me here on YouTube today. If you are looking for spring decorating inspiration, Easter decor ideas, then you are in the right place. I have several faux floral arrangements that I'm doing today in my home and just some small, simple, but I think beautiful touches for Easter that I hope you really love and I hope they inspire you to decorate your home. Before we go shopping, I just came upstairs here quickly to freshen up my makeup and I thought this would be the perfect time to share today's video sponsor with you because it just so happens that today's sponsor is Citi Beauty and Citi Beauty happens to be the brand of my all-time favorite lip plumping lip gloss and I do not say that lightly because I have tried a lot of products, a lot of plumping lip glosses over the years. I have been a Citi Beauty customer, lover, a loyal Citi Beauty lip plump girl and I've never found anything that I like as much as this lip gloss. I've tried other things over the years, but I just always go back to my Citi Beauty and so now this is pretty much the only lip gloss I use. It is a plumping lip gloss, but I don't feel like it burns or stings or anything like that. It just feels like a really beautifully hydrating gloss on your skin. I use it on top of my lipstick. I'm actually layering two right now. I have on the Citi Lips Pink Nude, which is one of my go-to nudes, and then I have the Clear Gloss like right on top. I kind of like to layer them up. I think it's a really pretty combo. I like a natural lip and I'm terrified of needles, so I don't have any lip filler, but I still want my lips to feel full and hydrated and I don't want to see those little fine lines that we just inevitably get as we age. I have them and I especially notice them when my lips are not hydrated, when they're chapped. I also use their lip plumping oil at night too, so I'm hydrating my lips with that in the evenings also, and I think that's something that contributes to me feeling like I have overall hydrated lips all the time. It works instantly. You instantly feel like your lips are smoother, more hydrated, but it also has ingredients in it, skincare, that works over time. But I just really love their products and I'm just so grateful to be able to share them here with you and offer a little bit of a discount, a little bit of savings to you. They were kind enough to give us a code. It is BRITTANYBLAINE. If you use that on their site, when you check out, you'll get 20% off of your purchase. So I'll have a QR code right here on the screen. You can just scan that. It'll take you right to their site. Use my code and you'll get that discount. I'll also have it linked in the description box below. I'm going to go throw this in my handbag and we're going to go shopping. Let's do it. Okay, we are on our way to the store. I've got my little buddy back there to help me pick out some garland. It has been such an eventful morning off camera. This morning while I was decorating, camera guy actually took Hank to the vet and when he came back and I opened the garage door, he was standing there with the cutest dog from our neighborhood that we had never met before. I'll put a picture of him right here because I didn't get any video of it because with our five dogs, it was chaos, but his name is Diesel. He's our neighbor's dog and he is so sweet. The sweetest best boy. He came to visit for a little bit. He went home shortly after, but he did come over. Got some treats, played with some toys and ran around. He was such a sweet guy. So we met Diesel and that was fun and now we're, we're on our way to finish out the day, get some more decorating done. I think I'll do, we had more last time, but I'm going to go see what they have in the floral section and then we'll make our choice. This is really pretty too. This one. Do you like this one? Maybe that one. Let's go see. Let's go see what they have over here. Okay. So we're going to do two of these. We should probably get a basket. Camera guy, can you go get us a basket? Ready? He doesn't like it. He doesn't want to go in there. Okay. You can do it. I didn't go in. Okay. Let's put this here with you. Just like that. You don't know about filler flowers. Let's go this way. Don't be stressed. It's okay. Come on. Let's go get that other garland and then we can go. Yeah. You're a good boy. You're so good. Stay right there. Okay. You like that? Okay. Stay right there. Stay. Good boy. Let's see. Okay. Let's see. Maybe this. Let's see. We have purple at home. I love these. Purple. I love these. This sure is pretty. Wildflowers. I like that. How much is this? Forty. I have some yellow. So I'm thinking maybe these. Let's see how much. Ten dollars. Let's find one that looks better. Theo, what do you think? Get the expert opinion. You like them? Okay. So we'll do... Okay. Three of those. Let's do it. Let's see. One. Three. What do you think? Okay. Theo approved. What else? Is there anything you think would be pretty? Because I'm just going to build out a green base with some flowers in it and then some Easter eggs. That's the plan. What do you think? Camera guy? Any suggestions? Theo said, I don't like it. I want to go to the pet store. That's what Theo said. I think we're good. Let's get that and see. See what we can make with it, huh? Think we can do it? Yeah. Theo thinks we can do it. All right. I had my great big helper help us pick out some flowers. Sorry. I look a little crazy. Carrying a 20 pound dog. He's only 20 pounds. He's like 15. It was a workout. Holding him was a workout. He did not want to be in the cart for some reason, but he did good. He was a very good boy and he helped mom a lot. So now we're going to take those flowers home and I am going to build out the mantle with you and we're going to create a beautiful garland for Easter. Okay. I am back from the store. I'm really glad I had my expert helper, Theo, to help me pick out some florals. I'm going to start building out this mantle. You can see it's pretty bare. I already took down all of the St. Patrick's Day decor that I had here and we are just going to build out hopefully a really pretty Easter garland. I'm going to work with what I purchased at the store and then a few things I already have just in case you're curious as to how I create my own garland. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to show you step by step. Let's do it. The decorating inspectors are checking out the bags, making sure everything we got is good to go. What do you guys think? What do you think, Millie? What do you think, Bean? Hopefully it is also Millie and Bean approved. All of this is Theo approved, guys. If you're wondering how I secure my garland to my mantle, I just run a wire right at the base of my mantle from one end to the other and I zip tie all of my pieces to this wire. We are actually starting today with some garland that I already had in my collection. This is old. It is from Amazon originally, but I've had this for a very long time and I'm just going to start with this as my base. I have two pieces of this and I'm just going to lay them out together, hanging a little over the sides, not too much. I'm just meeting in the middle here. Now that we have our first layer, I already knew that this wasn't going to be enough greenery, enough base for my liking, so I did grab some more greenery, green garland from Michaels. That is what this is for. I got two pieces of this garland. Everything that I bought at Michaels today, if it is linkable, I will link it just in case you're interested, but this is the green and cream eucalyptus garland, six foot. Really simple, just getting the base layers up there and then we'll refine it. I think I like it so far. Okay, I have a couple of floral garlands that I want to add before I start adding individual flowers. This one that I just picked up at Michaels and this one is the cream peony garland. It was $24.99, six foot, I think it's really beautiful. I always like to anchor my florals with a neutral, a white. If I'm going with a lot of vibrant color, I think it's pretty to just add in a cream or a white if you can, or even a green as a neutral to ground it, just to add a little bit of depth. That's what I'm doing with this one. I cannot remember where I got this Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago, I've just had it in my floral bin, but I did get quite a few florals. I probably overdid it, that's okay because it's better to have more than less and if I don't use them here, I can use them in a different arrangement. I put out a lot of florals for spring, but I'm already loving how it looks so far, so I'm going to see what I want to use to finish this out. I also have some really great hydrangea I might put in here from Amazon. I'm going to go grab those. What do you think, Theo? Do you like it? Is it Theo approved? Is it good for Easter? I like it. I think it's pretty. The last space that I am decorating today is my entryway. I have a small round table that I keep up here and I'm just adding some faux florals, some of my favorite hydrangeas, and then a few coffee table books. I actually really love the way an entry table looks with some beautiful coffee table books on it. But this is just something that I love when I see in a home. And then of course, I'm going to add a couple of bunnies to finish it off. I didn't get as far as I wanted to get today, but that's okay. I will be back with more Easter decorating. We have a lot more to do around here, so I hope you will join me again for more decorating here on my channel and in my home. I appreciate you for hanging out with me today, watching today's video. I hope you enjoyed it. And like I said, we'll see you again really soon in the next one. Until we do, what do we say, Theo? Do you know what we say? Let's tell them. We say, take care and happy decorating.
