If you are anything like me, you are really particular about colors when decorating for the holidays or seasons. I think once I have kids I might be a little bit less OCD about this, but for now I really like decorating with neutral colors for the holidays. I have seen a lot of rustic fall decor on pinterest and some of the home decor accounts I follow on Instagram, but a lot of the decor is so expensive. So, I decided to do a quick and easy DIY project with my favorite color chalk paint. The kind I used is Americana Decor Chalk Paint in Primitive. It's an off-white color, almost a little taupe and gray. In my opinion it is the perfect color! I have almost white walls so it is just the slightest bit darker than those. I used plastic pumpkins I picked up in the dollar section at Target for $3 each so that I can reuse them for many years, but you could also just do this with real pumpkins. I didn't use any sort of a primer or anything and used a sponge-type brush to paint it on. You can do more coats if you like, but I just did one because I like the distressed look. I included a few other things I painted with this chalk paint too! It's seriously the best color! I had a dark brown metal mirror that I was sick of and some really cool giant candle holders I picked up from Goodwill that I used as wedding decorations. Enjoy!
