want a really easy way to decorate for fall?
one that makes use of things you already have?
choose one color, and gather up everything you have in that hue.
then arrange items from light to dark - or mix 'em all up.

and if what you have is a mish-mash of colors,
you can always paint things a new color! that's what i did.

continue reading for some simple transformation ideas...

of course, my color this year is yellow!
i pulled together two new elements:
the yellow Sweet Sweater Pumpkins that i made this summer,
plus a 'pumpkin' take on my 'yarn + twine pineapple'.

then i painted some of the ceramic and foam pumpkins in my stash
using acrylic craft paints and enamel spray paints, in various yellow shades and finishes...
some are flat, some are gloss, some are eggshell satin.

other details:
i tucked some painted wine corks into tiny ceramic salt & pepper shaker pumpkins, as 'stems'.

i squished a skein of yarn into a round shape,
then pushed a small spool of yellow twine into the top as a 'stem'.

then i cut some yellow leaves out of vintage yellow ribbon and glued them to some twigs
to use as an accent.

this arrangement offers a wide range of textures, finishes, colors, and sizes
that expresses 'fall' in a fresh way.
the white setting (my faux fireplace mantel) makes it stand out even more...
adding white or black (or both!) to any color palette creates a crisp contemporary mood.

btw, none of these are expensive pumpkins,
so combining them all is a great way to make cheap stuff look good!

other ways this theme can be applied:

• a table centerpiece (long like this, or in the round)

• a wreath for the door
 
• in a large platter/tray or tiered tray on a countertop or sideboard

• on a mantel or wall shelf

have you ever decorated with a single color palette?
does this make you want to try it?!
