đ¸ The Story Behind My Seasonal Bar Decor
If you follow me on Facebook, you already know me as the momma who changes out her bar for every single holiday.
And somehow⌠every single year⌠it gets bigger.
I donât really plan for that to happen. It just does.
Sometimes even I admit itâs a little over the top. But it brings me so much joy â and honestly, thatâs reason enough.
How It All Started
A few years ago, I stumbled across a woman who was moving and selling everything in her home. It was shortly after my dad had passed away.
She had this beautiful seasonal bar setup and told me how she decorated it for every holiday. Something about it just stuck with me.
We brought the pieces home, and I started putting the decor out.
And I canât even explain it â but decorating that bar became the highlight of my month for a while.
When grief feels heavy and unpredictable, you donât always get to choose what helps. But for me, something as simple as switching out seasonal decor made the pain just a little more manageable.
The Part That Makes Me Laugh
Now hereâs the funny part.
My dad would have hated it, yâall. đ
He would have absolutely said it was a waste of space.
And honestly? I think thatâs part of why I go bigger every year.
Thereâs something about doing something joyful â even if someone else thinks itâs silly â that feels freeing.
Why I Keep Doing It
At the end of the day, this little seasonal bar reminds me of a few important things:
Grief and joy can exist at the same time.
Itâs okay to have traditions that are just for you.
âOver the topâ to someone else might be therapy to you.
You donât need permission to create joy in your home.
So if youâve ever hesitated to do something because it seemed silly or excessiveâŚ
This is your sign to do it anyway.
đˇ My Current Easter Bar
Hereâs my current Easter setup!
Some pieces are still from the sweet lady I mentioned.
Some are from Hobby Lobby.
And a few are from Amazon (Iâve linked those below for you!).
It may be a little extraâŚ
But itâs my little corner of happiness.
And thatâs enough.
