Top 10 Decorative Pumpkin Ideas

I will come right out and say it, fall is my absolute favorite time of year! The crisp air, morning fog, changing leaves and BOOTS, oh I am SO excited to bring those back out! However, it feels like we JUST started our summer here in Seattle and I just can’t get myself to start decorating for fall while it’s 85 degrees out, not to mention I only started wearing my summer clothes a few weeks ago.

BUT, that doesn’t mean I’m not getting inspired by all of the other fall decor going on around the rest of the country. So today, I’m sharing with you my Top 10 Decorative Pumpkin Ideas. These are all DIY projects and I’m getting inspired…

1. Check out these sparkly spray painted pumpkins from Tatertots and Jello, who knew pumpkins could be so chic?

2. One glittered pumpkin just isn’t enough, love these glittered pumpkins made from 2X4’s by Diamond in the Stuff

3. Jute wrapped pumpkins from That’s My Letter

4. I am in love with this argyle painted pumpkin from Lolly Jane Boutqiue

5. Monogrammed pumpkin from All In A Day (not to mention the ‘W’ would look very nice in my home too!)

6. Can you believe these pumpkins are made from TP rolls?! Love what Leanne did with these from Organize and Decorate Everything

7. Madigan Made put together these gold thumbtack pumpkins… simply amazing

8. I honestly can’t get over these hand painted pumpkins from Alisa Burke, I’m honestly speechless. Yes, please!

9. Love this twine pumpkin from Mamie Jane’s so simple yet so cute!

10. And for all of you scrapbookers out there, check out these paper pumpkins from Scrapbook.com

Give me one, maybe two more weeks and I’ll start getting my house ready for fall. But for now, I’m going to savor the little bit of summer we have left in the NW!

    Oh my gosh, I love pumpkins! I think they’re great for Halloween and through Thanksgiving :) Have you ever seen glass pumpkins? I’m hoping you put up some of your own hand-painted pumpkins in a few weeks! Or at least hand-crafted :) Love these ideas for pumpkins to add to my mix, thanks for posting them!

    Thanks so much for the pumpkin ideas.Several of them are new and I’m going to try out some of the new ones !! I love the ones with the paint drizzled down the top of the pumpkin.I have everything I need to make a new wreath for fall and it’s going to be autumn leaves with glitter on them and gold and silver pumpkins.

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
