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!

Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Rhoda,
You have inspired me to go searching & shopping at Goodwill. Today I found several items that I'm going to repurpose for fall decorating. The coolest part of the purchase was today was "senior citizen day" (I'll turn 56 next month),my 6 items cost less then $5.00! What a hoot!

Your pumpkin turned out perfect.
And I love using acorns, pinecones, and leaves, too. Everything’s so pretty. 🙂
What a beautiful, original vignette! All of your items are gorgeous, my favorite is the iron urn! very welcoming; thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
Aren't you clever painting and stenciling pumpkins! Love the yard sale finds, too!
Thanks for sharing,
Karla & Karrie
I just adore white pumpkins! I would love to get a few more. I really like how you dressed yours up.. Very pretty Miss Rhoda! Im still dreaming about the day you and I can go yardselling…. one day Ahhhh!
Looks awesome Rhoda! Love that white starfish on the acorns too! Great contrast!
Thanks Rhoda for the advice!! I will be trying the rub-ons, they seem a little less accident-prone than stenciling, especially with a two year old pulling on my while I try to do it. 🙂 I appreciate you directing me to Manuela!

What a great idea–white pumpkins!
I love your little fall vignette. I need to get out to the yard sales again. You’ve got some wonderful finds there.
Take care,
Robyn
This looks great! You did a fine job with the pumpkins and stenciling, and the layout is dazzling. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!
Yours is even better than BHG’s! I love the whole display. You always have wonderful displays in your entry. That ruffly urn is gorgeous! Now I’m inspired to paint some pumpkins!
G’day Rhoda
love what you’ve done, you have some lovely chunky candlesticks there and what a find with the urn for that price! i would like to find one of those, I guess I will one day, love the starfish with all the rustic natural bits, you’ve given me some inspiration…
good work on the white pumpkin, I wouldn’t of thought of doing that, funny how I paint so much stuff but some things it never crosses my mind to paint

This is a GORGEOUS vignette! The pumpkin turned out fantastic and I love the metal leaf! 🙂 ~Rhonda
That’s gorgeous!
Stunning!
What fun pumpkins, it never occured to me to paint them white, clever!
Wonderful, Rhoda! I love every little detail–right down the little “welcome” stone. I love that! Your stenciled pumpking turned out wonderfully. I, too, have been painting a lot of pumpkins lately (7 to be exact)! I guess it’s that time of year, isn’t it?
Hey girl..this turned out great and I love the acorns & pinecones! I am still loving my black mantel and the family is amazed at how beautiful it turned out and the difference it has made in the feel of the room…it just accents my stuff and the way I decorate so much more than the white ever did…thanks again for the inspiration girl! have a great week!
Oh My Goodness! I cannot wait to go spray paint and stencil some of my pumpkins. You did a great job with yours and have inspired me to do some. Thanks. Laurie (bargainhunr)
I’m lovin’ your fall decor. White pumpkins are quickly becoming my favorite and I just adore black accents too. I have been drawn to decorating with nature lately as well. Everything looks fabulous!
