Sigh. They were sold out online {which is probably a good thing}. My decorating budget is slim pickings this year with one in college, but I simply cannot get on board with the warm and toasty pumpkin orange this year.
So I decided to take a few
The three little guys were in my fall decor stash from God-knows-when, but I picked up the larger one at Walmart for $4.99 because of it's scale and something special I have in mind for it.
I have shiny finish metallic silver and gold spray paint, but I wanted something a little more subtle. This caramel latte color just spoke to me. :)
I taped off the stem of the large one because I actually like the texture and color as a low contrast to the new metallic finish. The little guys didn't have much stem to speak of, so I just went for it.
Love this silvery look! The top of the stem of the small pumpkins retained just a bit of orange from me picking them up to spray the bottoms. I love how the nubby texture of the littlest really shows up now.
And here's where two of them ended up!
If you missed my entire fall mantle you can see it HERE.
Wait'll you see what happened to the large pumpkin -- a cool and classy fall touch {coming soon}.
How about you? Feel like swapping pumpkin orange for another color this fall?
