00:00:05,890 --> 00:00:09,770
Hello and welcome back to home 
and hosting with me Louis Burke.

2
00:00:09,970 --> 00:00:14,050
Today we are talking all things 
Easter and Easter is one of 

3
00:00:14,050 --> 00:00:17,010
those holidays that can be a 
little bit confusing from a 

4
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:20,290
decorating point of view. 
It sits in the same category as 

5
00:00:20,290 --> 00:00:22,800
Halloween for me. 
There's a version of it that can

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,680
be really chic, really 
considered and very charming. 

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,200
And then there is the version 
that feels like a seasonal aisle

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,520
explosion and you do not know 
where to look. 

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,640
I think in Australia it can be 
even trickier because so much of

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,200
what we see online is coming 
from the northern hemisphere. 

11
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:45,080
So you get all the spring 
visuals like the pastels, the 

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,480
baby animals, the blossoms and 
the sugary colours. 

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,600
And meanwhile we're here in the 
start of autumn. 

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,840
So you end up with this very 
strange middle ground where 

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,560
you're asking yourself, do I 
follow the aesthetic or do I 

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,760
follow the season? 
And my answer always is the 

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,760
season. 
Because if you get Easter wrong,

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,680
it can look a little bit 
horrifying. 

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,760
So in this episode, I want to 
talk through how I tackle Easter

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,760
decorating, why I think it can 
be difficult, and how to make it

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,640
feel seasonal and stylish. 
And how to keep feeling Easter 

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,680
without tipping into anything 
overly themed, overly childish, 

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,760
or just plain kitsch. 
Because Easter can be incredibly

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,040
chic if you do it properly. 
Easter is difficult because 

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,400
unlike Christmas, it doesn't 
really have one clear visual 

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,280
identity like Christmas has. 
Red, green, gold lights, 

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,320
candles, a tree, and we're done.
Easter is bunnies, eggs, 

28
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,680
florals, ribbons, pastels, maybe
carrots, maybe chicks, maybe 

29
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,960
chocolate. 
And it can all start to feel a 

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,600
bit random unless you give it 
some direction. 

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,120
And I think the biggest mistake 
people make is copying what they

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,760
see without adapting it to where
they live. 

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,840
We're not in spring. 
The light is different, the air 

34
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,160
is cooler, the colours outside 
are turning a little bit deeper 

35
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,720
and the mood is different. 
Even in Australia it can also 

36
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,000
feel like it's summer still. 
So instead of forcing Easter 

37
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,240
into this pastel spring language
that feels disconnected from 

38
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,520
what's actually happening around
us, I really think you need to 

39
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,000
just reinterpret it. 
Also, this is where my joke 

40
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,880
comes in, because you simply 
can't just swap Halloween and 

41
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Easter seasons. 
You can't just throw pumpkins 

42
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,320
down for an Easter table and do 
pastel for Halloween. 

43
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,160
Although honestly the pastel 
Halloween might just be 

44
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,920
terrifying because the Bunny 
heads like the ceramic cut off 

45
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:56,680
Bunny heads, the pastel 
colourways and all the synthetic

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600
bits and pieces. 
Sometimes it does read a little 

47
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,080
bit haunted children's party and
that's not the brief. 

48
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,120
There is also someone who says 
I'll just do what works for the 

49
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,360
kids. 
It's just for the kids. 

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,800
And to be honest, I do think 
that's a bit of a cop out. 

51
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,560
They seem to be doing that with 
every holiday. 

52
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Does not take more effort to 
make something beautiful than it

53
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360
does just to go out and buy a 
bunch of junk from a big box 

54
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,160
store. 
Like sure, it might take a 

55
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,440
little bit more time and problem
solving to figure out how you're

56
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,840
going to go about it. 
What's interesting is the people

57
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,680
who want to go to the big box 
store and buy stuff off the 

58
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920
shelf are the same people that 
say they don't have the budget. 

59
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,000
But then to me, if you don't 
have the budget, wouldn't you be

60
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,800
more conscious of what you're 
spending your money on? 

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,400
So in turn, the random junk with
no thought and no intention is 

62
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,400
actually worse off than having 
thinking about how you want to 

63
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,760
approach a holiday and do it in 
a way that best reflects you and

64
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,280
what you want to celebrate. 
I just think you either do it 

65
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,320
with style or you don't do it at
all. 

66
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Because if the argument is you 
don't have time or the money, 

67
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,560
don't participate. 
It's pretty simple. 

68
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,720
It feels the most logical and 
the most practical. 

69
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,560
But I'm not interested in 
excuses. 

70
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,560
I'm interested in making it 
work, making it beautiful, 

71
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,880
making it feel special and 
functional at the same time. 

72
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,680
And if you're listening to this,
I feel like you're probably the 

73
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,240
same and you are my people. 
So for me, everything changed 

74
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,560
when I stopped treating Easter 
like a theme and started 

75
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,240
treating it like a feeling. 
The feeling for me and Easter is

76
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,240
abundance. 
It's a celebration, a harvest. 

77
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,800
So juice, freshness and a table 
that feels gathered rather than 

78
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,880
style is what came to mind. 
So instead of asking myself what

79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,040
decorations do I need, I asked 
what would the Easter Bunny 

80
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,240
actually eat? 
And that's when everything 

81
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,440
started to click. 
Think carrots, leafy greens, 

82
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,200
cabbages, herbs, loose florals, 
things from the market, things 

83
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,080
that feel alive, things that 
feel seasonal, things that feel 

84
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,280
like they belong in a home 
anyway. 

85
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:04,880
And what I love about that 
approach is that it works for 

86
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680
both hemispheres. 
It works in the north because it

87
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,320
still feels fresh and garden 
driven, but it also works here 

88
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,880
because it's grounded, relaxed 
and connected to the season that

89
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,280
we're actually in. 
It feels relaxed yet refined, 

90
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,400
and that's what makes it feel 
incredibly chic. 

91
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,320
A couple of years ago I used 
Dutch carrots in vases and then 

92
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,520
cabbages as well. 
Both of those ideas have now 

93
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,800
really filtered into the market 
and gone a bit viral in their 

94
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,120
own way, which I absolutely 
love. 

95
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,640
It means I'm doing my job right.
This year I stripped it back to 

96
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,120
something more achievable with 
Bok Choy candle holders. 

97
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,320
It's very simple. 
More cost effective, very cute, 

98
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,720
but not in a kitch way, in a 
chic way, in a way that anyone 

99
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400
could do it. 
And that is really my whole 

100
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:02,480
Easter lens, how to do Easter in
season and in style. 

101
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,520
So the table that I've set this 
year is exactly the same 

102
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,080
approach brought to life. 
It's built around green, but not

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,200
in a loud way. 
It's layered, tonal and a little

104
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,800
bit moodier, which makes it feel
more aligned with autumn than 

105
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
spring. 
The tablecloth sets the tone in 

106
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,880
the right way. 
It is a block print pattern from

107
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,280
India that I found on Etsy and I
love that because sometimes the 

108
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,960
market simply does not give you 
what you want. 

109
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,240
So then you have to go niche. 
Go Etsy, eBay, small makers, 

110
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,640
even DIY if you have to. 
That is where the interesting 

111
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,280
pieces are, and to be honest, 
it's a part of my job. 

112
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,640
I find the thing, I use the 
thing, I show it, the audience 

113
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,760
responds, other creators copy 
it, brands noticed the data, and

114
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,160
then six years later it appears 
in the wider market and suddenly

115
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,480
everyone thinks it was always 
there. 

116
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,240
That's the flow. 
So yes, I'm more than happy to 

117
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,120
start the trend and effectively 
tell buyers this is what we 

118
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,040
want, this is Easter. 
That's a part of my role. 

119
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,920
It's not just styling for 
styling's sake. 

120
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,480
It is a taste, timing, instinct 
and understanding of what people

121
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,120
are going to respond to before 
the market and other creators 

122
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,160
catch up. 
And yes, before anyone says it, 

123
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,640
this is me using colour and 
pattern, which I usually do use 

124
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,040
colour and pattern throughout 
all of my work, but I do it with

125
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,840
intention, skill and style and 
that's the difference between 

126
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,680
amateurs and pros. 
The Internet is just very loud 

127
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,600
with colour at the moment. 
But so often it's just wrong or 

128
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,320
it's not something that everyone
can do. 

129
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,400
It's the things competing 
instead of complementing like 

130
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,760
not everyone can do colour 
drenching. 

131
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Most people live in rentals in 
Australia. 

132
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,400
They're all they bought their 
first home and they can't afford

133
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,360
to renovate and if they do it's 
usually a bathroom, not painting

134
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,360
the walls and buying furniture 
to match that colour. 

135
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,920
It's unrealistic for people to 
do all of that at once. 

136
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Why would I create content 
that's hyper niche to a small 

137
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,000
demographic that ultimately just
wouldn't land with enough people

138
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,600
in a country that doesn't even 
have a huge popular relation to 

139
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,520
begin with? 
For me it's about working within

140
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,960
the same tonal story but on a 
smaller scale. 

141
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,000
Nothing feels random, it's 
layered, considered, and that is

142
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,320
why it still feels calm even 
though there's a fair bit going 

143
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,720
on. 
I combined a few dinner sets in 

144
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880
different shades of green and 
white to create a really 

145
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:46,880
layered, beautiful effect. 
And the most gorgeous little egg

146
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,480
cups from Mason Balzac. 
It looks stunning and you can 

147
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760
still pick them up too, which I 
love. 

148
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Do feel like a lot of brands are
moving through their product and

149
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,480
changing way too quickly. 
It's really hard for people to 

150
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,280
catch up to what people are 
using because they cycle through

151
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,920
their product way too fast. 
Nice to have brands like Mason 

152
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,800
Balzac who comes out and sticks 
with certain product so my 

153
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,360
followers can adopt the same 
style. 

154
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,360
Let's talk about flowers because
that's where the table can 

155
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,240
really soften. 
I use dahlias and Queen Anne's 

156
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,480
Lace and I love them together 
because they feel similar yet 

157
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,000
they're contrasting. 
They both have this slight wild 

158
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,960
quality, like they're growing 
towards the light, but the 

159
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,240
dahlia is more geometric, more 
structured, while the Queen 

160
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Anne's lace is more delicate, 
rounded and airy. 

161
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,120
So together they create this 
balance that feels relaxed but 

162
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,520
still intentional. 
They're also in season for me 

163
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,440
here in Australia and that is 
really important. 

164
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,520
Use what is in season where you 
live. 

165
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,840
That is what's going to look the
most natural. 

166
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,840
I will mention that the dahlias 
in the Queen Anne's Lace are 

167
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,320
more on the short life scale 
when it comes to flowers. 

168
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,840
They will last your long 
weekend, but don't expect them 

169
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,840
to last your usual 7 to 10 days.
The water is prone to going 

170
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,680
quite brown, so be sure to 
change it out often and instead 

171
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,040
of using vinegar because it can 
affect the dahlia's lifespan a 

172
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,440
lot. 
I do recommend just changing the

173
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,480
water. 
I also kept the stems long and 

174
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,080
let them relax in the vase. 
I don't want them to look too 

175
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,600
tight or too arranged. 
I want them to feel easy, like a

176
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,920
wildflower garden that you might
find the Easter Bunny in. 

177
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,680
But then for the produce aspect,
like I mentioned before, I went 

178
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,720
with bok choy because I think 
it's a bit more of an 

179
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,680
affordable, easy little moment 
versus the Dutch carrots or the 

180
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,400
cabbages. 
Now I know the bok choy candle 

181
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,760
holders might sound a little bit
ridiculous when you say it out 

182
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,720
loud, but visually they work. 
They are sculptural, organic, 

183
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,080
and a little bit whimsy, which 
is what I think Easter is. 

184
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,800
It's whimsy and fun, but not 
kitsch. 

185
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,200
And there's a difference between
the two. 

186
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,240
It speaks to the Easter Bunny 
produce story without being who 

187
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,320
literal. 
Even the hot cross bands become 

188
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,960
part of the styling. 
They're not just food on the 

189
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,960
table, they contribute to the 
overall look and feeling. 

190
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:25,960
Now when it comes to chocolate, 
I think the lint bunnies are 

191
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,200
iconic. 
The gold foil, the coloured 

192
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,000
collars, the little bells, 
They're instantly recognisable. 

193
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160
They're chic, they're not too 
expensive and they fit the 

194
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,680
Easter brief. 
So no friend or follower is 

195
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:42,600
going to look at the table and 
say this just doesn't feel 

196
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,840
Easter. 
And that matters because even 

197
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,120
when you're doing a more 
elevated version, you still need

198
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,680
enough of a nod that people who 
just don't get it will 

199
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:57,080
understand and comprehend it at 
some level. 

200
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,720
Meet people with where they're 
at with nods to Easter, but 

201
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,440
still keep it in a way that you 
want to do it. 

202
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,640
I've also used brown honeycomb 
bunnies as well which I love. 

203
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,640
They are a great switch out for 
those Bunny statues and the 

204
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,040
ceramic Bunny heads. 
I love the brown tone because it

205
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,320
speaks to chocolate. 
They fold down easily, they're 

206
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,360
easy to store away, and they 
don't feel overly decorative. 

207
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,560
They're subtle. 
They have a nod to Easter, but 

208
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,560
they don't take over to across 
my whole series that I'm doing 

209
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,840
on TikTok and Instagram this 
year. 

210
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Whether it's the table, the 
console, the bunnies, the 

211
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,400
produce or the flowers. 
The point is not just one final 

212
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,440
image. 
The point is showing you an 

213
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,800
approach how to to Easter in a 
way that feels cohesive across 

214
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,880
the home. 
It feels elevated, seasonal, 

215
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,720
recognisable but not overdone. 
Because you don't need more 

216
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,400
things, you just need a better 
point of view and a sense of 

217
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280
direction that leads you down a 
path where you can have a 

218
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,640
seasonal in style Easter. 
So if you're wondering how to 

219
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,920
actually tackle Easter at home, 
here is how I would break it 

220
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,280
down. 
Start off with your palette. 

221
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,840
Work with colours that make 
sense in your home already. 

222
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,160
Greens, warm neutrals, creams, 
maybe touches the brown, maybe 

223
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,240
one pattern if it's anchored 
properly. 

224
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,920
I've seen a lot of soft powder 
Blues, but I'm reserving the 

225
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,680
blue for Mother's Day, which is 
in another month's time because 

226
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:35,320
I think leaning pink for 
Mother's Day can be a bit too 

227
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760
kitsch. 
So doing blue with a hint of 

228
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,320
pink just feels right. 
I think the green angle works 

229
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,400
better because it complements 
brown and chocolate at Easter. 

230
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:50,920
And then we're leaving the blue 
and the pink accents for 

231
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,000
Mother's Day. 
So next we look at materials, 

232
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,280
Linen, ceramics, glass, woven 
textures, things with the 

233
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,840
natural finish that are always 
going to make seasonal styling 

234
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,720
feel more elevated, and things 
that you can use year after 

235
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,520
year. 
Yeah, I'm not interested in you 

236
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,040
buying new things every year. 
I'm interested in you having a 

237
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,840
solid collection that you can 
add little bits and pieces to 

238
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,280
each and every year, just like 
Christmas. 

239
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,560
What about mask consumption or 
buying what's cheap on the 

240
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,400
shelf? 
It's about finding things that 

241
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,160
speak to you, your style, and 
the holiday seasons. 

242
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,640
We need to source like a 
stylist, not a panic buyer. 

243
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,760
Go to the fruit and bed shop 
before the homeware store. 

244
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,160
Look at the produce, the herbs, 
the branches, the flowers. 

245
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,440
Pick two or three hero elements 
and then stop there at one or 

246
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,680
two Easter cues, not ten. 
Maybe that's the lint Bunny. 

247
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,400
Maybe it's the honeycomb 
bunnies. 

248
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,240
Maybe it's the napkin folded 
into Bunny ears. 

249
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,040
Enough to signal the holiday, 
but not enough to turn the house

250
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,240
into a theme park and think 
everything that you buy you have

251
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,160
to store away. 
Be sure to edit. 

252
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,880
The difference between chic and 
kitsch is almost always 

253
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,680
restraint. 
I think people assume beautiful 

254
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,000
homes happen because people buy 
more, but really they happen 

255
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,000
because people choose better. 
So the goal with Easter for me 

256
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,240
is that it should feel like you 
have decorated for Easter. 

257
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,720
It should feel like your home is
simply ready for Easter. 

258
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,360
Like if you went to the market, 
bought beautiful things, brought

259
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,200
them home and placed them with 
care. 

260
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,440
That is what feels effortless. 
That is when it feels lived in. 

261
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,360
That's when it feels special. 
So if you want the visual 

262
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,360
version of everything I've 
spoken about in this episode, go

263
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,440
over and have a look at my 
Easter content series across 

264
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,120
Instagram and TikTok because 
I've been sharing the whole 

265
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,480
series there, from table styling
to the produce details to the 

266
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,000
different Bunny moments. 
Now, if you enjoyed this 

267
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,680
episode, I would really love it 
if you'd left a podcast review, 

268
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,880
shared it with a friend, or sent
it to someone who's currently 

269
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,840
standing in a seasonal aisle 
wondering how on earth to make 

270
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,080
Easter look chic. 
Thank you so much for listening 

271
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,880
to Home and Hosting, and I will 
see you all again next week.
