Picture this:
It’s April.
I am walking out of the Goodwill carrying two huge shopping bags.
The bags are full of fake orange pumpkins.

Now, picture this:
It’s September.
I pull those bags of pumpkins out of the attic.
I give them a quick coat of Rustoleum Heirloom White spray paint.
I grab a couple dowel rods for less than $2,
And I stack them up to create a topiary!

Then I grab a couple mums from Home Depot.

And some planters from around the house.

Funny craft fail story:
I actually started with 3 pumpkins on each side….

But every time I looked at them I could only think of Frosty the Snowman.
So I had to change them up a bit.

That’s my fall front porch… for now!
Best part is that it was all done for about $20 including the mums.
I will definitely add some Halloween touches once we get a little closer!

Love it all!!!
Thanks Amelia! I LOVE fall!
Frosty the Snowman, huh? That's too funny!
I love that you scored fake pumpkins in April. The topiaries look great on your front porch!
Happy Fall!

Ha! Yes, the three white pumpkins screamed snowman! 😉 sometimes the way I picture things in my head don't always work out! Thanks for stopping in!
Great job! I love the ribbon around the bottom of the pumpkins. I may need to do that to jazz up my white pumpkin, he looks kinda sad right now.
So glad you found some inspiration, I felt the same way about these pumpkins and thought it added a nice touch! Thanks for stopping in!
Super cute idea Heather! Love the white with the checked ribbon!
Happy day!

Thanks Karianne! They didn't quite look right and I thought the checked ribbon gave them a little somethin' special! 🙂
So cute! You've inspired me to try something similar!
Yay! So glad you found some inspiration! I have definitely found some from you along the way! 🙂
Super cute! Guess who's going to make some pumpkin topiaries…this girl!! Thanks for linking up with us!
Yay! So glad you found some inspiration with my pumpkins! Happy fall!
I actually just sucked coffee up my nose laughing at your snowman comment! Ha! I love how you modified it, I think it looks awesome with just the two. Thanks for the laugh and for sharing at our fall link up! 🙂 Kim @ Exquisitely Unremarkable
Ha, glad you got a good laugh. I guess I can always use them in December for a snowman too! 🙂 Thanks for hosting!
These look beautiful! I found your link up next to mine at the Thrifty Decor Chick's party.
Thanks so much for stopping in! I am off to check out your post now!
The ribbon adds such a nice touch! And I love the contrast of the white pumpkins and those bright n bold flowers. Fab-tastic!
Thanks Lauren! I think you are fab-tastic too! 🙂
How smart are you to have bought pumpkins in the spring at GW? They turned out beautiful! Love the entire porch!
Thanks Kristi! I was quite a sight walking out with two big bags of pumpkins. But I had a vision! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping in!
