For today’s edition of free-association fun, let’s talk pumpkins and living rooms.
I’ve never really been into those weird, bumpy, twisty-looking pumpkins – they always look creepy and diseased to me; I’ll go for classic round-and-orange, thanks. But these sage-and-rose gourds that I spotted at the pumpkin patch last weekend (more on this tomorrow, because if you haven’t been yet this weekend is your last chance) were so pretty that I was tempted to pick up the whole lot for my front porch.
I didn’t, because weird and twisty pumpkins are also weirdly and twistily expensive, but I kept thinking about those colors, and how much I love the pairing in the home. If you add in dark wood and gold accents, what you end up with is kind of a 1970s Palm Springs resort mixed with a glitzy ski lodge kind of look…
And that’s a look I like.
Want to see?!
There. If a pumpkin were a living room, that is what it would look like.
Sort of.
Happy Wednesday!
