Perfect Pumpkins

I love the change of seasons, but Fall is my very favorite time of the year, more than any other.

There’s something about the first “nip” in the air, the leaves changing to their glorious colors, and the smell of wood burning in the first fire of the season.

I love wearing sweaters, jeans, and boots, and yes…..I love football! 

I’m so excited about the arrival of pumpkins more than any other harbinger of a season.

What is it about those orbs of orange and white that make my heart skip a beat?

Maybe it is because fall has always been my favorite season, mixed in with the fact that you can do so much with pumpkins.

Countless DIYs and decor possibilities.

I know I am not alone in having a soft spot for pumpkins, so today a few bHome bloggers & I are getting together to share 5 of our favorite “perfect pumpkins”.

Before, I head off to the patch for another, let’s have a look…

Perfect Pumpkins for Fall

Jamie of So Much Better with Age ( I love that name on so many levels ) shares with us her favorite chalk paint pumpkin. Jamie made this lovely pumpkin using creamy white chalk paint & dark wax.

With Jamie’s chalky white pumpkin she, and you, can enjoy touches of fall that work beautifully in a neutral palette.

I love the soft tones & aged look ~ see, so much better with age! You can get the same look with Jamie’s help here.

Of course, you know that I love the texture of moss so I went wood-landy with my perfect pumpkins.

I love the natural elements and those darling stems. Love a good stem! Learn how to make moss pumpkins using plastic pumpkins & preserved moss here.

From woodsy to glamorous! Heather’s perfect pumpkin over at Setting for Four sparkles & shines. Her’s is a DIY crystal pumpkin.

Isn’t that fun! So pretty with mercury glass for even more dazzle. Get Heather’s glam pumpkin tutorial here.

White pumpkins, like the white tiger, are rarer than the orange variety, but that doesn’t stop Yvonne at Stone Gable. No need to hunt for a white one, just paint an orange one or two … or a few.

You could paint them any color of course, but I love the white with the black & white bows just as Yvonne has diy’ed hers. For the tutorial click here.

Kelly, from My Soulful Home, started with a perfect little trio of white pumpkins, but couldn’t stop there.

While the three looked darling grouped on her sideboard, she also added a bit of this, a pitcher or two, some texture, a book, dried roses…and tossed in some acorns until she had built a fall vignette.

Let Kelly take you step by step in creating a vignette, including perfect pumpkins! Click here for instructions & inspiration.
