GOOD GOURD.

When you live in an apartment without a porch or patio, there’s really no good place to place your Halloween pumpkins. I’ve basically got two options – put one out in the hallway (where I don’t get to enjoy it) or keep it in the house where lighting it seems a little silly. So I’m thinking option number three might be called for this year…

Take a little inspiration from your own home and paint that pumpkin right on up to match!

It’s fresh, festive and fairly easy. Not to mention a little less messy. I think I may do a last minute attempt for tonight! Also – that bedroom? Definitely going on the inspiration board for my own place. Loving the layers of white!

    That’s fantastic! Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of jack-o-lanterns, so I’d much rather paint a pumpkin to coordinate with my house. Next year…

    These are fantastic!

    I made some similar.
    Painted for a client and papered for me. Come see some.

    Those pumpkins are so beautiful!! I love the idea of a little pumpkin bouquet. The white and black with some color mixed in. Who thought Halloween pumpkins could be beautiful.

    Also–love the nightstand in the bedroom pic. Looks like something that could be an incredible ikea hack!!
