If you saw my fall home tour a couple weeks ago, you may have noticed there wasn’t a pumpkin in sight.
I like to ease into fall.
Or maybe I hadn’t figured out where I stored the fall stuff last year…
Either way, Lindsay from The White Buffalo Styling Co. is hosting the Fall Edition of the Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours this week and asked me to join in, so I thought sure!
You’re actually forcing me to find those pumpkins, aren’t you?
If you are popping over from Caitlin at Desert Domicile, welcome! No kidding, I drool over everything that woman makes. If you don’t know her, you should. In fact, you should have known her yesterday. She’s that good.
Ok. I’m going to tell you my big secret for fall decorating.
Are you ready?
Seriously. Its top secret.
Affiliate links may be contained in this post.
Pull out all those special treasures you’ve been storing away and decorate with them.
Like the blanket that was your dad and uncle’s when they were kids and your grandfather’s hat and your grannie’s guitar.
And then….
…litter Dollar Tree pumpkins all around.
That’s the big secret.
Because they look good with anything…even an Elvis bust and lip watercolor print in front of an abstract circle wall.
Really. Could you ask for pumpkins to be anymore versatile?
You see, Dollar Tree pumpkins are only $1.
White Bust (similar) / Brass Unicorn (similar) / Sconce
And they look really cute painted with glittered stems.
So if you can’t find all your fall decorating items from last year, you can just spend $10 on Dollar Tree pumpkins.
DIY Ampersand Pumpkin / Gold Sphere
Not that that happened to me or anything.
I just may or may not be too lazy to haul all that stuff out.
If we’re being honest and all.
So instead, we are making it rain with mini-painted pumpkins.
That’s how we roll…
Up next on the tour is The Chronicles of Home. You are going to love Jennifer’s home!
*Also, this post is in no way in partnership with the Dollar Tree – I just really like their pumpkins.

Caitlin @ Desert Domicile says
I’m glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t find her fall decorations! 😉 I love how you transformed all of those dollar store pumpkins, especially that cute ribbon one! I thought for sure that was paint and was convinced you were a mad, straight/curved line painting scientist haha
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Bahahahaha!!! As if I could paint a straight line all the way around a pumpkin, Caitlin! I wish! Thanks, girl!
Karen says

Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thanks! That brass unicorn was an awesome find – $3!!
Judy H. says
Great Idea! I have put one “fall” item into my home yet. I haven’t felt like going through my stuff from last year; deciding what to keep, recycle or toss. I also have not felt like heading in Hobby Lobby, Michaels or JoAnn only to be bombarded with Fall and Christmas decot floor to ceiling. I can make a trip to Dollar Tree and coming away with two or three bags full of small pumpkins, decorating them a riot and letting them fall where they may.
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Girl, preach on about the bombardment of Fall and Christmas decor at craft stores – especially Hobby Lobby! It KILLS me! They were literally putting out Christmas stuff at our Hobby Lobby in July. JULY!
Aniko@PlaceOfMyTaste says
You killed it with the green! Love it, Friend! Xo
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thanks, Aniko!
Shonee Smith says
Jenna, you nailed it! It just goes to show you don’t have to go into debt trying to decorate your home for each new season! I’m loving the green pumpkins and the navy pumpkin. A wonderful twist on the regular orange ones! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Shonee
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Girl, ain’t nobody got time to go in debt for each season! haha! Thank you!
Summer says
Love your tour Jenna, especially all of the fun artwork!!! Gorgeous!
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thanks, Summer!

Kyla @ House Of Hipsters says

Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thank you, Kyla! I can’t get enough green!

Thank you, Bethany!

“the bombardment of Fall and Christmas decor at craft stores – especially Hobby Lobby! It KILLS me!” Don’t even get me started on Hobby Lobby ~ I went in one year to buy decor for Thanksgiving…3 or 4 weeks before TG. Nothing. N.O.T.H.I.N.G. And when I asked, they acted like I’d just landed from another planet. Need I mention how often I don’t shop at Hobby Lobby?
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Honey, I am NOT a fan of Hobby Lobby either!! I swear they get Thanksgiving stuff in AFTER Christmas stuff and then clearance it all out long before Thanksgiving. Hate it!
Lindsey says
Love the modern/classic fall decor you have going on. The ampersand on the pumpkin is very trendy. I saw you and your kitchen in a Better Homes & Garden(?) magazine the other week and got excited because I have been following your blog for several years now! A late congrats to you. 🙂
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thanks, Lindsey! I love that little ampersand pumpkin and it was so easy to make!! Thanks for the congrats on BHG – I was so flattered!
Amanda says
You know, there are some really talented bloggers out there but, girl, you’ve got STYLE. I would never think of painting a pumpkin green and decorating with an Elvis bust and red-hot lips. I look at your photos and I’m like, “Yep…everything in my imagination is accounted for but she makes it look awesome and not like a fever dream.”
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thank you, Amanda! I’ll tell you a secret though – I have no idea what I’m doing. Seriously, I just throw random stuff I love together and sometimes it looks like crap and I have to start all over and sometimes I manage to surprise myself and it totally works. Trial and error all the way!
mary jo says
does anyone really need pumpkins ?? im pretty sure its over !!
