Painted Pumpkins, Our Way

 Ready to add some more Fall color, ala Rehab?  Me too, let's do it!

You may have noticed my home is not built on neutrals, and therefore changing the whole color scheme to orange would clash like Kanye West and an etiquette class.
Like Paris Hilton and MENSA.
Like the Olson Twins and Weight Watchers.
You get the idea.

 One container of mini pumpkins from Joanns, 40% off, so they ran us $6.

 

 A little painter's tape on the stems. I'm okay with them staying a natural color.

 

 Place them in a box and get out the aqua spray paint. You heard me. Aqua. And why not?

 Who says your colors have to change with the seasons?

 Three coats please, and a little silver glitter sprinkled over the last coat whilst it's still wet.

What accent color in your living room would be fun like this?

 Remove the painter's tape with just a tug.

 Then place a Dollar Tree cylinder vase inside a larger one, add a candle... 

 ...and place your pumpkins in the space.

 Ladies and Gentleman, Seaside Fall.

 Light the candle and enjoy the shimmer.

How easy was this?

You want to do it, don't you?

Even my husband, who was very skeptical when he saw the sea of blue, thinks it's a cool little twist.
