My poor hubby walked out this morning and saw his prized planter destroyed, and I’ve never seen him so heartbroken over a plant 🤣

They left it alone all summer, but last night? Total devastation.
Fingers crossed they don’t make a salad bar out of the rest of our garden 🙃

One of the highlights? A full-blown date day in downtown Asheville 🏙️ We kicked things off with brunch at @theblackbirdrestaurant, wandered through cute shops like @mastgeneralstore + @anthropologie 🛍️, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at @ukiahrestaurant (10/10 recommend) 🍜

And of course… we couldn’t leave without chocolate from @asheville.chocolate 🍫 because dessert is a must, always.

Already missing my staycation life, but what a way to close it out! 🥹🫶

Easy Fall Decor Refresh

How many of you have old tubs full of decor that you don’t use anymore?! I know I do, and I was trying to come up with a way to repurpose it. That’s when I decided to do this easy fall decor refresh.

All you need is some old fall decor that you don’t use anymore and a little paint! So super easy and simple! And it totally transforms the look of the decor pieces.

Before Photo
Here is what the old plates and pumpkins looked like before I went to work!

Materials Needed:

  • Old fall decor pieces (such as old pumpkins or old plates like I am using above!)
  • Spray Paint (I recommend Rust-Oleum!)
  • Other Paint (to paint decor a different color if desired. I used Fusion Mineral Paint)
  • Drop-cloth
  • Paintbrushes
Getting Ready for Fall Decor Refresh
You can easily pop the stems off of the faux pumpkins, that way it makes it easier to paint!

Getting Your Old Fall Decor Prepped

The first thing you need to do is gather all your old fall decor pieces that you want to give new life to! I chose to use those two leaf plates above and some old pumpkins that no longer matched my current fall color scheme.

These leaf plates were actually from our wedding (since we had an October wedding) and I’ve kept them ever since.

I just didn’t like the color to them anymore since they didn’t match anything else I was using in the house.

I’m glad I kept them all these years because it’s sentimental and now I can actually use them in my fall home decor too!

Before painting them, I just washed them really well in warm, soapy water to remove any dirt/debris. Then I dried them and brought them outside to get ready to spray paint.

As far as getting the pumpkins prepped, all I did was remove the stem. Which you can see pictured above. That way I didn’t get any spray paint on the stem.

They easily go back into the pumpkin after your done painting them, or you could always use a dab of hot glue as well to secure it even more.

Spray Painting Pumpkins
I was definitely trying to go for a more neutral fall vibe this year and didn’t want so many bright fall colors in my decor.

Painting The Old Fall Decor

Now here is the fun part to any project- paint! Painting is such a great way to refresh old fall decor. Instead of throwing things out, it’s a cheaper option to just refresh it with a little paint.

The spray paint I used for the leaf plates is Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Spray Paint in white. The one I got is both a paint and a primer so it was perfect for this project.

I only had to spray one full coat on each side of the leaf plates and the coverage on the spray paint was amazing!

After applying one full coat, I just had to go back and touch up a few areas with the paint. It’s always best to apply spray paint in one continuous stroke to avoid dripping.

And also be sure to share it up vigorously before using too!

COTTAGES & BUNGALOW FLAT 30% OFF ON DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTION

This was my very first time actually using this spray paint and I am very pleased. I will definitely use it again for other projects.

It was also the only cost in this little fall decor refresh project I had too. Since I already had everything else, this was the only thing I was lacking.

Refreshing Fall Leaf Plates
Here is what the plates look liked after apply the spray paint to them.

Painting The Old Pumpkins

For the pumpkins, I did the same thing as above for the plates. I applied one coat of the spray paint to basically just prime it.

I knew I wanted to paint my pumpkins a different color rather than just leaving them white. But you could totally just spray paint them and be done with it if you would prefer!

Spray Painted Pumpkin
Here is what the pumpkins looked like after applying a coat of spray paint first.

After I spray painted them and they dried, I applied Fusion Mineral Paint to them as well. I used the colors Bayberry and Lichen.

I had to apply a few coats of paint to each pumpkin. Then after they dried completely, I dry brushed the opposite color on them as well to give it a little more dimension.

I talked about this more in depth in my other post about DIY Painted Pumpkins so if you want to know more, go check that one out.

Painting Old Pumpkins

Using The Refreshed Fall Decor

I decided to use my spray painted leaf plates on my tablescape this year. Since I had two, it was perfect because I just placed one on each end of the runner.

Also, my tablescape is pretty neutral so since they were painted white, it fit right in!

Refreshed Fall Plates
Here is just a sneak peek of my fall tablescape this year. I will be sharing more about it soon so stay tuned!

For my painted pumpkins, I decided to use them in my cloche I got from Antique Farmhouse. I have it sitting on my entryway table as well.

I love how the pumpkins are more neutral now and they go perfectly with the color scheme of my entryway fall decor.

Refreshed Fall Decor
Here are all the completed pieces together!

I used a lot of pumpkins with blue/gray/green hues here so they look great with the other pumpkins I have already.

Much better than that clashing gold and orange color that the were before! I’m telling y’all, the power of a little paint is so amazing!

Here is my fall entryway table decor.

Here’s a close up of the finished pumpkins.

Conclusion

Well friends, I hope you liked this easy fall decor refresh project as much as I did. It gives me so much joy to be able to refresh and repurpose old items rather than throwing them out!

Plus, it saves me money from having to go out and buy new fall decor too! So it is definitely a win win! Have you ever done anything similar to this with your old decor pieces too? Let me know below!

    This is pretty. You always have great color choices. I try to use old stuff in the house to do DIY out of them.

    This is a great way to make those orange and red fall decorations *actually* match everything. Haha. I’ve been going through all my old fall and Halloween decorations and I’m seeing that a lot of them need a face lift. Thanks for this post! Seems like something easy I can do

    This is so cute! I love how the outcome turned out. I love refreshing my old decor pieces. When I started redecorating my room and making an old room into my little office space, spray paint became my best friend! I revamped this jewelry holder that’s in the shape of a woman with this ugly hot pink cheetah dress on, took off the dress, and spray painted it rose gold. It looks so cute now!

    This is such a great idea! I never would have thought of using paint to refresh old decorations, but it’s a wonderful way to use what you have without spending much money. At the same time, it can be customized to your decor, as you have done beautifully! I also realized that I could pick up some decorative items at the thrift store for very little money and paint them to match a theme. Perfect money saving project!

      Yes! Going to thrift stores to find something to restore is a perfect idea too! It’s amazing what a little paint can do for sure!

My poor hubby walked out this morning and saw his prized planter destroyed, and I’ve never seen him so heartbroken over a plant 🤣

They left it alone all summer, but last night? Total devastation.
Fingers crossed they don’t make a salad bar out of the rest of our garden 🙃

Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a little staycation last week and it was everything I needed- relaxing, fun, and filled with so much good food! 😋

One of the highlights? A full-blown date day in downtown Asheville 🏙️ We kicked things off with brunch at @theblackbirdrestaurant, wandered through cute shops like @mastgeneralstore + @anthropologie 🛍️, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at @ukiahrestaurant (10/10 recommend) 🍜

And of course… we couldn’t leave without chocolate from @asheville.chocolate 🍫 because dessert is a must, always.

Already missing my staycation life, but what a way to close it out! 🥹🫶
