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.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
