Shabby Chic - Fall Colors

We are just shy of being three months away from Christmas and I can hardly contain myself. Although I am happy we are now into fall ( in the desert country it doesn't make much difference in temperature) it is hard to concentrate. I don't do much for Halloween, just enough to keep the kiddies happy. Thanksgiving is really all about my table because the day after is the beginning of my Christmas and I don't want to be bothered with cleaning up a lot of fall or Thanksgiving decorations because that would cut into my Christmas decorating time. 

My fall color picks for this year are:
white, bronze (metallic brown) and pale pink.

I have spray painted many faux pumpkins white, cream and just a couple in pale pink. This year I am adding some decorations that I have painted in a gorgeous metallic bronze. Thank goodness the newest fad in pumpkins over the last few years has been white but they definitely cost more.






Love that you can buy white pumpkins...



Every year I go out in search of fall decorations to add to my holiday repertoire. Just remember anything can be painted.

Here are a few fall decorating ideas:

    I love your ideas for fall colors. This year I did the same thing with faux pumpkins. I tried to get the guilded affect with silver, gold and brown hammered spray paints.
