Hello Fall

Hi Friends,
Outside the leaves are changing, light frost in the mornings, and a crisp coolness in the air.

My home decor is changing to FALL decor!



This year I'm adding orange pumpkins, bittersweet sprigs and of course the black and white check accents are everywhere. 


In a corner of my fireplace mantel I display a diy farmhouse FALL sign, a pumpkin picture from my granddaughter, a ceramic pumpkin from Dollar Tree that I painted and added fall color leaves, and a diy buffalo checked pumpkin piece using a sign from Dollar Tree.


More pumpkins in this little vignette, FALL garland and another diy hand painted buffalo checked pumpkin.


A tray on the coffee table full of FALL leaves little orange  and green pumpkins, dried corn cobs, acorns, sprigs of bitter sweet, and vine bowl fillers.


Another vignette with a hand painted buffalo checked pumpkin made from a Dollar Tree pumpkin form, stacked little orange and green pumpkins. Sprigs of bitter sweet and dried corn cobs tucked into a cigar box.

Thank you for stopping by to check out a few of my FALL vignettes, I'm sure there will be a few more diys to share.

Rustic-Farmhouse Upcycle Ceramic Pumpkin DIY


 Hi Friends,

Today I' upcycling little pumpkins I picked up from Dollar Tree....

I really like the shape of these pumpkins but, they aren't quite the right color for me I like the traditional orange.


Love the metal vine and leaf on each pumpkin.



 I had in my paint stash - pure orange by Folk Art Enamel, that I added to Waverly white chalk paint.




Then using Waverly antique wax to age up the pumpkin to my liking. Very easy paint it on and wipe it off and the color lays in the cracks 


On some of the little pumpkins I added a leaf or two, a curly rope vine.


This was and easy and quick project to upcycle these little pumpkins for a rustic, country farm house décor.  Which I absolutely love.

Thank you for sticking around!  So until next time.....
May God Bless You and Your Family!
