Happy fall y'all! It makes me so happy that the weather is getting cooler and the leaves are starting to change color! I love fall! I especially love fall home decor!
This year, I have been trying not to focus too much on seasonal decor because I feel like I should devote the time to finishing our normal every day decor before I splurge on things that are displayed only temporarily. I've been using seasonal decor I already own or that I can make quickly and cheaply.
Today, I'm sharing one of those super easy, affordable, quick decorations! Painted faux pumpkins! I bought some fake pumpkins and gourds at Michaels and added some color to match our living room. Seriously, it couldn't get any easier. I don't even have a tutorial for you because all I did was paint them. That's it. No secrets, no tricks, just paint.
Our home is full of neutral colors and cooler tones. Don't get me wrong, I love warm colors! They just don't really go with my interior decor. So, I wanted to tone these bright orange pumpkins down a bit and help them blend in with the living room. I chose paint colors that match some of those neutral tones and added a little pop of color by matching our throw pillows!
I put them in this cute little basket I bought at Homegoods a long time ago. It normally holds our remotes and game controllers, but I convinced my hubby that those could be put away for the sake of the cute pumpkins ;)
I think its the perfect touch of fall for our living room!
Have you done any super easy fall projects this year?
Be sure to come back on October 8th for an exciting blog hop with tons of super cute fall projects!
Thanks for linking up to Pin Worthy Wednesday, I have pinned your post to the Pin Worthy Wednesday Pinterest Board. I painted some too but love that aqua colour these would be perfect in my living room :)
My Dollar Store has some very ugly colored ones that I must go grab now. These are so cute, they blend in well enough that they aren't "in your face" holiday decor, but stand out because of the pretty colors. :) -Kristina @ myownhomeblog.com
Thanks so much! I love that they blend in with my home decor. I might make some more for other rooms in the house next year! Go get those dollar store ones and give them a facelift! ;)
