Hello,

If the tradition fall color's do not fit into color scheme
for decorating here are some great ideas for cottage decorating in muted colors.

The first is this awesome simple to do burlap fall banner. 

This could be customized to any color theme.

The tutorial and more can be found at Fabulous K.

Next are these beautiful muted white pumpkins made from recycled sweaters.

I love the way they look like vintage lace or linens.

These would like great in any country, shabby or chic cottage decor.

These can be found at Mary's Meanderings.

Take a look at this fresh green centerpiece's made with assorted green veggies.

The white pillar candles are accented by the natural colors of the florals and greens.

This arrangement is made using various shades of whites and includes

white pillar candles, gourds, pears and wheat stalks.

This simple arrangement of assorted nuts in various compotes makes a simple yet beautiful statement for fall.

These are actually for Thanksgiving but would be great with pumpkin or two added for fall.

All of these lovely ideas above and more can be found at Decor Village.

What a way to dress up a pumpkin!! 

To think these pumpkins went from the ground to almost royalty in

these gorgeous crystal candle holders.

Almost a Cinderella story!

You could easily use white pumpkins instead of orange.

You can find these and directions for the candles along

with many other great ideas and fall recipes from Eternal Flame on Squidoo.

Paris Pink Cinderella Pumpkin With Tutorial

Hello,
If fall colors don't really appeal to you or fit into your decorating style well here is an alternative to the normal orange colors.
These would also look great in a girl's cinderella theme room.
These are so simple to make and here is how to do it...

Materials needed:
Mini plastic pumpkins ( I got a box of 8 at Walmart)

White spray paint (I used Dollar General Brand)

Pink craft paint ( I used Apple Barrel Fushsia)

White craft paint ( I used Apple Barrel Bright White)

Green craft paint ( I used Apple Barrel Sage), Clear Glitter

Misc. supplies:
Newspaper

Brushes

Aluminum tart pan (or similar to mix paint)

Non Stick Aluminum foil for drying

Instructions:

First I spray painted the pumpkins white. Once they dried I mixed the fushsia pink paint with some white in an aluminum tart pan until it was a lighter shade. I painted the whole pumpkin with the lighter pink except for the stem and let dry. Next I painted lines with the fushsia color in the grooves of the pumpkin. After that was dried I painted the stem with the sage green. When all the paint was completely dried I brushed white glue over the whole pumpkin and sprinkled it generously with crystal clear glitter.

I do not consider myself a great painter by any means but I think these turned out really pretty. I had thought about decorating them with feathers, roses, ribbon and lace but once the glitter was applied I thought they looked good just the way they are.

Hopefully this will be an inspiration for your next crafting project!

God Bless,

Beverly
