IN EACH ROOM â—½ HOME
I have lots of pumpkins. And buying pumpkins is relatively inexpensive, especially certain ones and sizes. But where do we put the pumpkins? They’re a great décor accessory for October and November…up through Thanksgiving…and placing them in lots of places gives a cozy feel to any home:
​
Fabric – Have you seen them? Little pumpkins made from fabric…and they are so cute! Maybe you could even make some, if you’re crafty. They look so cute on a shelf, next to a couple others things…like a trio!
​
Wicker – These are cute and can be found with battery operated candles or twinkle lights inside. They might be pretty on an entry table, or on a bottom shelf of a sofa table…just to add ambience and light to a room.
​
Glass – These are elegant, and just beautiful, if you like this style of décor. If you love glass décor, there are some beautiful ones for the fall season. Just add a few to your shelves, or your mantel…so pretty.
​
Candles – Pumpkin shaped candles or just ones that smell like pumpkin spice seem to be a favorite of lots of people…I know my family loves them. Be careful where you place these…in a trio of fall décor…but enjoy them safely.
Tiny ones – These are found at the craft stores, or even the dollar stores. Use them for place cards – writing your guests’ names on them with a pretty marker. Place several in a bowl and set on a table. Or use them as part of games with your family. Toss them in a corn hole board instead of the usual little bags! Or carry them on a large spoon for a relay!
​
Woven – I found these last year at Big Lots and they’re a fave. They’re not really woven straw, but rather sturdy material that can even sit outside. They’re just stunning when you get a variation of sizes.
​
Real Ones – Grab a load of pumpkins and arrange them on the steps of your porch in groups…just stunning! If you’ve got a wheelbarrow, fill it full as the family arrives to pick one to paint!
