Fall Centerpiece Basket with Pumpkins

I knew I wanted to try something different on the farm table this early Fall for a centerpiece. I usually have my big wooden vintage ice cream bucket filled with faux florals, and I love it... just wanted something a bit different. When I find something that works well in a space I sometimes get a little lazy and do the minimum. But after my vintage shopping trip a while back I had some new inspiration and ideas to try.





There were a lot of baskets and urns filled with pumpkins at the shops, so I thought I'd give this old gray washed vintage laundry basket a try. I filled it up with real and faux pumpkins, leaves and florals. I love this lighter early Fall palette with neutrals and light golds.





You can see the wooden bucket on the small desk filled with faux hydrangeas and preserved leaf stems. It's perfect for seasonal florals and stems.





The china cupboard in the background is filled with my mismatched Brown Transferware that isn't currently being used in the Holiday Cupboard. I used burlap stenciled sacks sewn together for a French country look table runner.






I usually save my small Amazon cardboard boxes to use as risers for baskets and wagons. I stack some up and then cover them with either moss or burlap, or in this case some grain sacks.





The large white Cinderella pumpkin is real and fits perfectly as the focal point. I then added some faux chalk painted gourds and small pumpkins to balance out.





I've only had my pumpkins out on the front porch for a couple of weeks but already I've had a couple of naughty squirrels attack them for dinner. Clear spray paint as a sealer just didn't work with these hard-core rascals. So I'm glad that I brought this handsome guy inside early on.




With the high ceilings out here in the Garden Room and the larger farm table, there needs to be something sizeable for a centerpiece and table decor. Small items, unless corralled in a tray or crate, can be easily lost.





I hope you all are having a good week. We're heading into a cooler and rainy pattern after way too warm temps this month. I'm ready for those typical fall days that bring on some beautiful leaf color.
