DIY Rustic Pumpkin Stand #HomeForFall
Last month I saw this adorable Rustic Pumpkin Stand project in my news feed on Facebook. Home Depot was hosting a monthly "Do-It-Herself" demonstration and it was on a night I was free, so I decided to go. I have never been to one of those DIH nights so I didn't know what to expect. There wasn't much information online so I just registered and showed up at my local Home Depot. When I got there, the lumber aisle was packed with 50 women standing around plywood tables and ready to work!
We were given four fence posts cut in a general "pumpkiny" shape. The group was so large that we were a bit short on tools, so I simply used a drill to screw the braces in place.
he poor guy cutting the pieces was not quite prepared for the mass of women descending upon him. :) He cut as fast as he could, but several of us ended up with some unevenly cut pieces. I lined my box up as well as I could and then drilled it together. It wasn't pretty finish work, but hey, it's supposed to be rustic, right?
I mixed orange and yellow and then brushed it on unevenly on purpose. I wanted to keep up the rustic theme and the fence posts don't paint smoothly anyway. Then I brushed on some brown and creme along the edges to give it a little depth and shape. The black paint on the front of the box is chalkboard paint.
To see a detailed look at how I styled the box as well as the measurements for each piece, please visit my blog! :)
