Dollar Pumpkins & Paint | Shades of Blue Pumpkins

pumpkins & paint

Remember when pumpkins were orange?  My son will look back and think orange  pumpkins were because of the Denver Broncos. Last year I painted a few pumpkins white and I loved the look.  At the time,  I thought I was stepping out of my definition of the classic pumpkin.

This season I decided to take my pumpkin décor up a notch with blue pumpkins.  I didn’t want to practice on large pumpkins in case the project was an epic fail. I grabbed a few dollar pumpkins at Target. I had plenty of blue  paint samples from last year when I was figuring out an accent color for our kitchen island.

I loved the look immediately. You know when you just know you are going to love the finished look of a project.  Well I fell in love with the shades of blue pumpkins.  It was a great look and it was nice to clear out paint samples.

I like it… the shades of blue are a more subtle look in the kitchen and the main level spaces where orange is just a little too glaring with our new paint colors.

I’m not going crazy with shades of colors.  I am not going for a box of Crayola color pumpkins, but I like the subtle shades of blue next to white (real and fake) pumpkins.

I love the look and it passed the college grad daughter living with us test. She approved.  Oh and I found my pumpkins at Target in the dollar section and Michaels.
