I decided that I needed a little more going on at the bottom of the door after I got my new wreath up the other day. See how the bottom just looks a little lonely.
I figured I would get some pansies or a couple mums. That was until I saw these adorable pumpkin topiaries that Hollie @ Every day is Hollie-day! did.

I got the foam pumpkins 50% off at Hobby Lobby! I used two of the spray paints from the wreath to give the pumpkins a little gleam.
I also sprayed a couple of paper leaves gold and used them as a base to sit the pumpkins on top of in the planters. Stuck in a couple dried grass stalks too - just cause!
So there you go - now the whole thing is a little more sparkly and a lot more festive! I think they are the perfect little touch to our front door!
So what about you? Anyone else do any fall decorating this weekend? I also put a couple fall touches throughout the house that I will share with you guys later in the week!

I love your pumpkin topiaries!!! The frosted paint is wonderful on the pumpkins and the leaves...makes me want to "frost" a pumpkin or two around here!!! Have a great week!!!
Beautiful! I love the color of the pumpkins and of course the way you have them in the topiaries. I am enjoying fall and the decorating that goes along with it.
Have a blessed week!
Your pumpkin topiaries are super cute and a wonderful finishing touch to your entry.

I love how they turned out! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, so I could check yours out! My last name starts with S too! :)
I love it! This would look good at my house, gotta get going on that project!!
What a pretty and inviting porch you created for fall!! I have a blogging friend coming to my house for the first time Friday and I don't have a stitch of fall up yet!! I better get going- geez if I get my house cleaned up no less decorated, it will be a miracle!
You are so sweet to share my pumpkins on your facebook page!! Thanks!

Such a wonderful and festive front door! I love the color scheme you're using! :) mercedes
Wonderful addition, love the color on the pumpkins. Just perfect for your porch, found you at Donna's.
Love it! looks great!!! :)
Beautiful! I bought some pumpkins 50% off at HL too :)
LOVE what you've done with your porch! They look soooo good. I noticed some paint them with a sponge brush (messy)but you sprayed yours right? I will be looking for the paint:)
I really like the glam metallic pumpkins. Nice job.
these actually look GREAT!
do link it up on our blog here: http://www.finecraftguild.com/diy-tutorial-linky-party-15/ so our readers can find you too!
they'd love this!
This turned out darling...and so elegant. I still need to decorate my porch...I wish I had a spot for urns like that. It just sets your wreath off! Beautiful job.
So pretty and that red door is gorgeous too!!
FUN!! Love how the metallic grabs the light. They look so pretty. :)
Donna
Love the metalliac look of the pumpkins. Great job. I really must get into the fall mood. I must be in denial thinking summer will be back in just a day or two.

Shimmery yet subtle at the same time - LOVE IT! It's like a little bling for your porch.
I love the two metallic colors, very beautiful and sophisticated and all because of a little paint! Great work!
That's adorable! I love the shimmer you added. Looks great.
The pumpkin topiaries are so pretty! I never get around to decorating for the seasons (except christmas sometimes), but those look so good, it's making me think I should stop being lazy!
So pretty. AND so funny, I just did linked something simular. But I love how yours turned out!!
Visiting from All thingz related.
Amazing how paint can change the look of ordinary pumpkins. What a beautiful entry... so welcoming!
Love the topiaries..they look great!
Looks great...what fun, and a new look!
I love how the metallics complement the brick. Did I mention that before? Well, it's worth saying again, if I did.
You know, I've been a floral designer for, well, a very, very long time. I can't believe I never, ever made one pumpkin topiary.
Yours are darling!
OOH so pretty! Who could resist shimmer! Great job!
I love these topiaries. They really make the difference on the porch. The silver is such a great spin, you go it going girl.
Monday I posted my first ever post on MM. Please drop for a visit. Any suggestions for improvements will be greatly appreciated. Ginger
Oh, it's me again. Tell me how you put that sweet message by the "post a comment" and how do you put words on your pics? Thanks. Ginger
I love those! I've been looking for real cinderella pumpkins and have the perfect urn for them but haven't been able to find any. I'm now thinking I will go for fake. I plan on using them for my fall address marker :)
Love the new shimmer at the front door-can't go wrong with any kind of topiary! I'm a new follower! come visit me at www.rosegirls3.blogspot.com
This is so elegant and I love the wreath with the initial-lovely entry!
Very nice! Thanks for stopping by and linking to Anything Related!

These are gorgeous. I really love them. I hope you'll come link them up to my Halloween party this weekend! They'd make a great addition!

Gorgeous! I absolutely love these, and the wreath. Shared them both on facebook. :)
Love it! Great idea. :)
What a great idea to spice up your entry way! Thank you for sharing the idea!
I really like these. They are very pretty with your door color. I love Hobby Lobby.
