It’s fall, y’all! To kick off the season, I wanted to do a fun tablescape for my coffee table. I love neutral colored pumpkins, but since they are not even selling any shade of real deal pumpkin yet down here in south Georgia, I decided to get creative and chalk paint some cheap pumpkins I got at Wal-Mart!
I love the Waverly collection of chalk paint. It does a great job and is a lot less expensive than some other brands. I used the colors: Ivory, Pool, Mineral, and Celery.
Here are the cheap plastic pumpkins before:
I painted them using a foam brush. I mixed the Pool with a little Ivory and Mineral to create a nice grayish-blue shade. I also mixed the Celery with Ivory and Mineral to create a neutral green. It did take more than one coat, but it went pretty fast!
When the paint was dry, I put the pumpkins in a pretty wicker basket along with some hydrangea stems and fall foliage that I purchased from Hobby Lobby and some pine cones, which I got for free from my backyard.
Here is the finished product. I love the way it turned out!
I hope this post inspires you to add some fall touches to your own lovely home! Thank you for dropping by and Happy Fall!
