Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. Fall finally showed its face down here in southeast Texas and we enjoyed some glorious temperatures on Saturday and especially Sunday. It was the first time since April that we turned the AC off and opened all of the windows. There’s nothing quite like that first fall breeze filling the house with fresh outside air. The grass had just been cut the day before and the lovely scent mixed with my fall candle was like heaven.
Today, I am so excited to share a fun little project in which I teamed up with The Home Depot. For this workshop we are building a Rustic Pumpkin Stand that you can use anywhere in the home. I chose to use mine as a stand to display my beautiful fall flowers.
The stand is made out of fence pickets and a 1×2. It is super inexpensive and simple to put together.
I decided to paint mine a distressed white so that my flowers would really pop. First, I stained the pickets so that the distressed part would really stand out. The fence pickets are so rough that I didn’t even have to sand the paint to achieve the distressed look. I just gently wiped with my paint brush making sure to leave some areas a little more exposed.
I love working with fence pickets. I’m pretty sure they’re my current favorite project material.

So pretty and I love it filled with flowers! Great DIY!! So fun to be on the tour with you 🙂 Pinning!
Thank you so much, Heather! It was a fun little project, wasn’t it? 🙂 I appreciate the pin!
Love this – very simple and love it with the plants in it. Saw this project elsewhere on another blog and she used small gourds in the box. Very cute!
Thank you so much, Carole! I love how versatile it is. Gourds would be absolutely adorable!
SOOOO want to make one of these! I think this is the cutest front porch addition for fall 🙂 Pinning too!
Thank you, Erin! It really is such a fun little fall decor piece!
I need one of these for my porch! Too cute, Sarah!
Thanks, Amy! It was super easy to make!
Such a fun project! And I’m intrigued with the fence pickets! Definitely going to need to try those out on something 😉
Thanks, Bre! You totally should try them out! They are perfectly rustic!
Mine is similar with the distressed white, gives it that rustic feel. I’ve never worked with fence posts before but it was a lot of fun. I love how you used it on a hay bale with some flowers. It is perfectly fall!
Aren’t they so fun to work with? And cheap too! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Beautiful – perfect for fall mums!
Thank you, Karen! I’m loving the fall flowers!
I love the rustic white look you went for Sarah! Super cute!
Thanks, Maryann!
Love how your pumpkin stand turned out, Sarah. The finish you used is really nice! Happy Fall!
Thank you so much, Alissa!
I really like the shape you choose to make your pumpkin. Looks great with your mums!
Thank you, Jamie! I was worried it would look too much like an apple, LOL.
