White Pumpkins

Remember this from BHG?
Here’s My version…..
With all the Fall talk in blogland….well, I inspired myself with my recent white pumpkin post, so decided to get a fake pumpkin (from Hobby Lobby), paint it white (with white spray paint primer I had on hand) and do a stencil. And it turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself!
Had all of these things lying around the house, so it was out with the shells (well, most of them anyway) and in with the pinecones and acorns. I love using natural materials so much these days and that really got started with me last year at Christmas. All the pinecones and acorns from the yard and neighborhood really come in handy for decorating naturally.
Those are the 2 candlesticks I found at the yardsale last week. That urn that the big pumpkin is sitting in was actually a brass thing that I’ve had for years and bronzed a long time ago. It gets recycled and used from time to time. Baby pumpkins are also fake (from Hobby Lobby) and they got the white treatment too.
My iron birds are just perpetual welcomers in the front door, all 4 seasons. This heavy iron urn is a yardsale fave from many years ago (for $5) and it has been outside and now inside. Filled with pinecones, acorns and a touch of white starfish, I love it’s ruffly edge.
It all says Welcome to our house for Fall!
That really TALL candlestick, I snagged at Tuesday AM one time on clearance for $5. The top was broken, but I glued it back. It’s made out of wood too.
Come on in….
Another yardsale find from last year, this metal leaf and acorn plate is really fun to work with and fits perfectly in the bamboo easel. In fact, almost everything on this table came from yardsales. I have a lot of fun changing out my foyer table with the seasons. I’ve done a little something Fallish for the frontdoor too that I’ll share with you later!


Happy Fall to y’all!

    So BEAUTIFUL…it’s gonna be a shame to dismantle that wonderful vignette when the fall season is over. I love how it’s not the traditional fall colors…but still looks very fallish! You’re and inspiration as usual!

    Looks great! I love the white pumpkins and you did a fab job on that stencil! You have inspired me to decorate with the pinecones and acorns this year instead of grumble about them falling into our yard from our neighbors trees! *smiles*

    Hi Rhoda,
    Haven’t been around look enough to comment lately. Your fall welcome looks lovely. I love the way your white pumpkins turned out, great job you crafty gal. Wish I was more patient and craft oriented but I can easily get carried away so I don’t even go there.

    Love everything you have been doing lately!

    Hugs,
    Sue

    Looks like you’re ready for fall. I love the urn with the ruffled edge. Last year on our Georgia visit I picked up sweet gum balls, acorns, and hickory nuts to decorate with. There is something special about using the real thing. Love the pumkin treatment, too.

    Oh, my, I love your acorns-I don’t think I have ever seen them like that before. I, too, love using nature’s findings in my decor. And that lampshade is fabulous!!

    The white pumpkins are so cute! I have admired those little stenciled guys on a few different blogs…was it hard to stencil since the pumpkin was an uneven surface? I’d like to try but didn’t want to mess it up!

    Rhoda, Love the black and white idea. Your pumpkin turned out great. I am not an orange girl so fall is hard for me except I love the crisp air. I also use the white pumpkins and blk and white is my favorite combination. You have me thinking now. Thankyou for the inspiration. You are now on my favs list. I will visit often. Thanks Kathysue[RMS girl]

    It’s for sure, Rhoda. You do a fabulous job! I’m in agreement with the use of natural items in decorating and also really like your faux-white-pumpkin-stencil-job. Nice work!

    Rhoda, May I ask you a question I asked readers of my blog? You’re the one that started me thinking about it so you just gotta share with me. 🙂 First I want to say I LOVE your decorating style and your things are SO PRETTY! I just wish I had HALF your talent to decorate my own house! Anyway my question is, where do you store all your decorating items that aren’t in use right now? I really need some ideas because my house is VERY small and I’d like to keep things to decorate with but just don’t have an extra room to store it in.
