Oooh, I can feel the air getting just a bit cooler every day! OK, maybe it’s wishful thinking, but my wreath is on the door, and mums on the porch. Several pumpkins purchased, but it is still a little warm here to put them outside. Have I mentioned… I LOVE PUMPKINS?! Orange ones, white ones… even those weird green-colored ones!
So… in keeping with all this anticipation, I want to share 11 great ideas focusing on pumpkins!
Who doesn’t adore this look from Pottery Barn for an entry or a wedding? Wouldn’t you just love to see beyond?? This scene certainly draws you in!
And, speaking of entries, here’s another that is so attractive. Janis at All Things Beautiful created a wonderful play of lights at her front door, including the lighted pumpkin topiaries!

Yet another idea pairing pumpkins with lights. This one doesn’t involve carving in any way!

Here are some great ideas for once you get inside the house:

And this one for a buffet! Look at the creative way they elevated the food atop the pumpkins and varied the heights! Isn’t this just gorgeous?

And, of course, a couple of craft ideas are fun! Check out the bling on these gourds:

The ones on the left look like they have jewel appliques affixed to them, and the pic on the right shows pumpkins decorated with upholstery tacks!
Here’s a fun (and thrifty) craft project I did recently… How to Make a Burlap Pumpkin:

And this idea is just pain FUN! Dip into your button collection and glue or pin them on! (I think these are actually black, but they sure look navy in this photo.)

I love all of the ideas! I especially like the pumpkins with the Christmas lights around them! 🙂
This was my first round-up! It was lots of fun looking through everyone’s stuff… and hard to choose just a few to make a readable post! Thanks for reading!!
Oh Sondra Lyn, what a fabulous roundup of Fall and pumpkins! I love all the decorative pumpkin ideas. How fun is the pumpkin chalkboard (may have to copy that). The tablescape is gorgeous too with the white pumpkins. I love me some fall, and we finally got a few degrees cooler today…yea! Thanks too for including my porch and topiaries! xoxo
Thanks bunches, Janis! The first time I saw your front door and entry, it took my breath away!! We got a bit cooler today, too… I am SO ready.
Hope you’ll visit again soon!
What a great round-up! So many great ideas – I need to run to the store for more pumpkins now!!
Ha! And it seems like they get more expensive every year. Maybe one day I’ll grow my own {don’t I wish}! Thanks for reading!!!
I’m ready for fall now. Beautiful decorations and yummy food…….just need a few trick or treaters to complete everything.
Thanks for reading, Teresa!! So glad you enjoyed it. And, yes… those goblins will be here soon, won’t they?!
Wow what a collection of incredibly fantastic ideas for decorating with pumpkins. Wish now I could find all my Fall decos so I could try some of these ideas. Loving it all so much.
I’ve subscribed to your blog due to all I’ve seen already. Need to look into your previous posts, will have to come back since it’s after one a.m. where I live.
My fall decos box is incognito in our shed, think maybe somebody might have done that on purpose, yup. I’ve just been making new things to decorate with. Happy week
Glad you liked the round-up, JaneEllen!! Wow, and thanks so much for subscribing! I’m still tying to grow my blog, and your support means more than you know.
Have a great Monday!
