Painted fall pumpkins are all the rage at my house, well actually they’re pretty popular every where!
Today The Decor Enthusiast Style Team was challenged to use faux pumpkins in our fall decor. You will find the links to all the fall ideas at the end of this post. Look how gorgeous…
Here’s what I did, white painted pumpkins:
These painted pumpkins are perfect for creating a more neutral decor. I was really torn with my color choice. You know how much I love blue, turquoise, aqua, navy…
Recently I painted the >> mirror and lamps, everything looks so light and bright in the foyer now. I had the paint left over from that project, the pumpkins are from the last couple of years. This was a very budget friendly makeover.
Materials Needed:
- Craft or Chalk Based paint
- Paint brush
Bottoms up – I started at the bottom half first, I painted them with 2 coats of paint. That’s it 😉
Muted colors of nature, seed pods, acorns and feathers finish the buffet arrangement. I love these big sprays of florals. It’s two large floral picks, all my favorite fall ingredients are included. Love the hints of gold on a few of the leaves and on the acorns. All I had to do was fluff it up and add a few corn husk sprigs. I placed the large cream colored berry picks in the back for filler.
Now that I’ve painted my fall pumpkin stash, I wonder what color they will be next year! That’s one thing I love about faux pumpkins, they last forever. I’m thinking aqua for their next transformation!

Awesome post! 🙂 Where is that gorgeous wreath from!?
I use my orange craft pumpkins outside in my garden for the fall season.
They have faded over the years. I will try craft and /or the chalk based paint to
refresh them. I hope the paint will last for several more years.
My pumpkins are hollow and light weight. I drill a small hole in the top and
one on the bottom. I use short thin metal post to hold them in the ground.
No lost pumpkins yet!
These turned out so pretty! I wouldn’t of thought of painting them white. Nice change from the typical orange pumpkins.
Lovely idea, so pretty and different than the same ole orange pumpkin, love this idea!
I can’t wait to get some pumpkins—Yes I’m paintiung them white!!!!
Guess what I’ve been doing for two day? Yup, painting pumpkins and more pumpkins. I think I might be on pumpkin overload…lol. I enjoyed your arrangement with all the white pumpkins!
I love all the fall ideas
Nice fresh touch! thanks…
Love the white pumpkins! I’ve painted pumpkins for years long before it became popular and not in just one color or this kind of paint. Thanks for sharing.
I love white pumpkins.
Love the ideas…. Great DIY ideas and easy on the budget.
I love your white pumpkins! Your arrangement is so pretty, I hope I can somehow copy it. I’m ready to get all mine out and start painting!
Beautiful. Fall is my favorite time of year for decorating. I typically decorate for fall instead of decorating for Halloween. This way it stays nice till it is time to decorate for Christmas. I love all the ideas.
your pumpkins look so pretty how you have everything arranged. You know I have never painted a pumpkin. I probably have a few in my stash that could use a good touch up.
I love the great ideas that you have shared!! Those pumpkins are gorgeous!!
I absolutely adore the white pumpkins. Your styling iis perfect on the console. Can’t wait to get the paints out.
Beautiful! I can’t believe it is already time to consider Fall decor. What wonderful inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the look of the painted white pumpkins but I’m always partial to a traditional orange pumpkin. Great post!
I never thought of painting pumpkins white. My next stop will be the Dollar store to grab up some pumpkins and goards.
Such clever ideas to change simple orange pumpkins that never go with the decor but now just say fall
Love the white pumpkins! I also am crazy with the fake pumpkins- what great things you can do with them.
I have some pumpkin painting on my list soon. 🙂 Sheila
