GOOD GOURD.

When you live in an apartment without a porch or patio, there's really no good place to place your Halloween pumpkins. I've basically got two options - put one out in the hallway (where I don't get to enjoy it) or keep it in the house where lighting it seems a little silly. So I'm thinking option number three might be called for this year...

Take a little inspiration from your own home and paint that pumpkin right on up to match!

It's fresh, festive and fairly easy. Not to mention a little less messy. I think I may do a last minute attempt for tonight! Also - that bedroom? Definitely going on the inspiration board for my own place. Loving the layers of white!

    Aww I love the idea of painting the pumpkins instead of carving. They will last so much longer as well.

    That's fantastic! Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of jack-o-lanterns, so I'd much rather paint a pumpkin to coordinate with my house. Next year...

    Those pumpkins are so beautiful!! I love the idea of a little pumpkin bouquet. The white and black with some color mixed in. Who thought Halloween pumpkins could be beautiful.

    Also--love the nightstand in the bedroom pic. Looks like something that could be an incredible ikea hack!!
