Pumpkin Decorating Ideas for Your Porch

Kate's Glazed and Decorated Pumpkins

We found some pumpkin decorating ideas on Kate's blog, Centsational Girl.

If you are in the mood for an autumn craft and you love decorating pumpkins (or want to learn how), then this is for you.

Kate is decorating pumpkins for her front porch for the autumn. These are no ordinary pumpkins!

I never dreamed you could do so much with pumpkins. Her ideas are so fun and beautiful, easy and affordable, too.

Makes me want to go fill the car with pumpkins this weekend.

Kate found an awesome bargain on beautiful Cinderellas at her local Whole Foods - dirt cheap like 6 bucks a piece.

She also picked up a few other pumpkin varieties at her nearby pumpkin patch.

She got out her bronze metallic glaze and adorned the Cinderella pumpkins.

To glaze the pumpkins, Kate dipped her paint brush in the metallic glaze, wiping most of it off until the brush was about dry.

Then she glazed the edges of the pumpkins with her dry brush. Beautiful! She said it just took a few minutes!

She completely glazed the beautiful orange Cinderella pumpkin. That's sensational.

That white pumpkin is really neat, wow! Kate says she is going to turn it into soup in November.

Kate stacked the pumpkins on top of each other and placed them in an empty urn. See added some gorgeous copper ribbon for grace and sparkle.

If we ever need more pumpkin decorating ideas, we know who to ask!

She arranged other assorted pumpkins on the benches of her porch.

Have you ever seen decorated pumpkins like these? Kate really dressed them up beautifully. Can we live at your house?

Look at that cute little baby pumpkin sitting on the mama pumpkin.

Instead of using a bale of hay or straw, Kate used some classy plum-toned grasses to nestle her pumpkins in.

What a cute little guy we see here.

To complete her autumn porch decorating, Kate found this patterned rug at Pier One. It does add a lot of zing to her porch-scape. It reflects the autumn-y pumpkin patterns, don't you think?

Kate added a pretty leaf garland to last year's autumn wreath to give it fresh appeal.

That's a great idea!

Various shades of purple and plums. Very attractive we say.

Kate planted seasonal mums, kale and purple basil in pots. Isn't that basil really unique?

Kate says it's called "dark opal basil". What a bounty! Gorgeous for the garden and delicious on your plate.

A basket filled with a wonderful combination of squash and corn.

Kate found this strawberry corn. Hmmm. Very pretty and interesting, too. She said it even pops! I wonder if it's pink when it pops!

And now you can see how Kate pulled it all together. Could we be neighbors? It's just wonderful, Kate. Thank you so much for sharing your autumn decorated front porch and fabulous pumpkin decorating ideas with us here.
