TBH if you are going to use pumpkins, i would rather see real ones.

Not yet it is still summer;)

I‘d continue to use them in the autumn. Not year round.

I like them for autumn. I'd rearrange them a bit (I think the taller one on the right needs to go on the left, and then a few shorter ones brought to the right, for balance with what you already have). I like their earth tones which say "fall" to me.

And I used to be one of those who'd ignore autumn as long as possible because it meant letting go of summer. But before I knew it, it would be Thanksgiving and my denial kept me from truly enjoying the autumn season. So bring on the pumpkin spice, I say. Let's enjoy it before the gingerbread man smacks us into winter reality.

Thank you everyone. Yes I would only do them in the fall and it's kind of that here. And yes I would definitely prefer real ones but they have stained my furniture before. I guess I think these ceramic ones look kind of tacky.

Maybe you have too many of them. I like the gray one best, but it doesn't seem to go that well with the others.

I love all of the ones on the left. Not crazy about the big squash on the right with them, I’d put it somewhere else. I love pumpkins, and these are very pretty.

Rather than grouping together I'd incorporate them into Fall atrangements/tablescapes with other Fall items (leaves, pinecones, candles, etc...). Depending upon what I used them with I might consider spray- painting them white/cream.

The orchids say summer and the pumpkins say fall….your decor is sending mixed messages, lol. I like them but would replace the orchid temporarily with a big real pumpkin, and vary the heights of the ceramic ones with wooden display stands, decorative boxes or stacked books.

I remembered why I don't use the pumpkins, I forgot about my gourds stored in the basement!

Hmm, I get the pumpkin orchid disparity but my orchids are blooming right now so it's going to happen. They do best in this bowl and I don't have anywhere else to put my gourds!

Oh well nobody cares but me LOL

Can you put the pumpkins/orchids on your table?

Or get chinoiserie pumpkins LOL! ( i actually have them from Etsy).

As I am sure everyone here knows by now, I am not fond of Fall colors (orange, red, yellow). Blues and greens make me happy. I mostly do pumpkins, etc. outside, but I will occasionally put a few of the heirloom pumpkins out in the dining room. Love the blue, green and white ones! I'll even add in one of those pale orange ones sometimes!! ha!

I have seen decoupaged chinoiserie pumpkins done by instagrammers/bloggers. Pretty! I always mean to buy a few good fake ones that I could chalk paint. I've seen some done in the heirloom colors and they look quite nice (the chalk paint keeps them from looking shiny).

PS Bumble, always wash your real pumpkins to get rid of bacteria. That will help them last longer. Then use a light rub of WD40 on them. It really does work. I do that to my outside ones. I have some preserved gourds I mix in - I love them!

I'll do my pumpkins, cornstalks, etc. around the first of October. I've not even seen real pumpkins here yet. We had some cooler days this week, but back to the 90s this next week.

You might be happier with a lighter color of pumpkins. Three of the white, or creamy white pumpkins of varying sizes would look pretty next to your lovely orchids. I know how you feel when about no one else caring. My son and DIL live with me and they couldn't care less how I decorate.

Oh I have been looking at white pumpkins, I would love to have some!! Not this year anyway, I've got a sick rescue dog I'm taking care of and white pumpkins aren't necessary at the moment.

TinaMarie this you to too can do pumpkins and gourds--blue ones seem to be a thing! I see them all over. Now that it is officially fall as well as fall in the air/leaves falling/gardens shutting themselves down I say the OPs pumpkins are PERFECT as displayed! I am hoping for a loooonger than usual fall we had a horrid summer and deserve some fresh clean air!

Bumblebeez, I hear you. I've had to put things on hold, too. Really wanted to get some things done this year, but I don't have the time, or the money.
