Pumpkin Bling
I can’t believe how quickly October has snuck up on me.
Before I know it Halloween will be here so I better start my outdoor decorating!
Last year my favorite project was adding a little bling to my pumpkins!
Faux pearls were my classic look last year:
This year I think I’m going to do the same project again and perhaps paint the pumpkins black first and then use the faux pearl or go for a natural pumpkin shade and add black beads instead.
We shall see..

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Soooo pretty! I'm also loving that white etagere in the background (more pictures, please!). I will definitely be blinging out my pumpkin this year!
Check out my blog post about push pin pumpkins! It is similar to your pearl idea but a little more rustic:

That is SO pretty & eye catching. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love it!!!
Haaaa. I love this! This is way more my stile than carving.
what a chic pumpkin!:)
love it 🙂
but, i can't believe october is already here! wow. time sure does fly!
Cute, cute. I'm liking it a lot!
This is brilliant! I must try this. Love Fall and Halloween decorating in general but I must admit I'm not a fan of the "digging out the pumpkin" part.
These are a great way to get into the Halloween spirit without being too cliche… love it!

Love it! I have been trying to decide what I am going to do with mine this year…what if you did something with nailhead trim? Fitting since we are designers!
I was In Savannah a few years ago and I saw someone with white pumpkins and they had painted the letters for "happy Halloween" on the pumpkins and arranged then going down their front steps. It was so cute
Love that! I actually bought a craft pumpkin the other day and spray-painted it chrome and it looks super cool 🙂
Oooh painting it black is a really good idea!
ohh will love to see how you put a spin on it this year! and thanks again for your FAB guest post last year 🙂
I think black pumpkins sounds adorable! Check out my pumpkin project 🙂

Super fun idea! Thanks for sharing. ~ Sarah
Pumpkins make great canvases for creativity. I love this time of year!
I don't have a lot to tell you because I don't do a lot, a few pumpkins, autumn hued candles, rotate artwork…I do love what you have done!!
