COCOCOZY: Pumpkin Makeover

October 26, 2018
  • Share

Just in time for Halloween, I bought a few pumpkins the other day in a plan to decorate for fall. But as I brought them home, I noticed they clashed with the other colors. The orange didn’t really match my house so I decided to just changed the color of the pumpkins!

I decided on a hunter green, mist green and a powdery blue for my little pumpkins. And it worked out. This little pumpkin makeover perfectly matched my decor.

Check out how I did it below! If you’re looking for a jack-o-lantern how to…I took a much simpler route to making these pumpkins my own!

Mini Pumpkin Makeover

I started off with six mini orange pumpkins and laid them out evenly spaced apart to get a better visual.

I made sure to place a drop cloth and then sheet of paper (or even cardboard would work) below the pumpkins when painting so as to not get any in my courtyard table. I think this is the perfect size for pumpkin decorations.

Next, I chose these three colors – shades of blue and green –  because they would tie in great with my outdoor decoration in my courtyard and the trim on the house.  They also blend well with my indoor decor too.  Didn’t have a clue on where I might use them!

I love this deep hunter green color for pumpkins. I used a high gloss paint for this one.
Make sure to space the pumpkins out far enough apart so that the colors don’t overlap.

Here is my final color scheme – blues and greens. I love how the three shades play against one another!  I used a mixture of high gloss, semi-gloss and matte finish paints to vary the look of each.

By placing them on top of some leaves, I used them as part of a centerpiece for my outdoor table. Even with a little bit of overcast, these bright mini pumpkins lit up my courtyard.

Another great way to add a quick fall decoration to your home is through white mini pumpkins. These are already a neutral color great for adding the autumn spirit to your home.

Been such a lovely treat to see my little pumpkin fall decor every day.  I wonder how long before I have to throw the pumpkins away?

Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
