Book Page Pumpkin with a Door Knob Stem

September 16, 2016 By Meegan 15 Comments

I imagine you are finishing costumes, buying,candy, carving pumpkins, or preparing for a Halloween party to attend. The excitement is everywhere.  As for me, I am still in Fall decorating mode with my book page pumpkin with a door knob stem.

I really do have a fascination with book pages and all that you can do with them.  Why?  I have no idea, other than I like the look, feel, and aged look they bring into our home.  To me they are a piece of art themselves.  With worn, torn and aged pages, they tell more than a written story.
 I kept looking at my thrifted coffee table and my book page pumpkin with moss and a key.  And, then it hit me!

To add detail and even more personality to my book page pumpkin, I could add a door knob for a stem! It only made sense, right?

My love for vintage finds could be put together on my book page pumpkin.  Surrounded with pine cones, dried artichokes, magnolia seed pods, and a branch with with a hummingbird nest and feathers, she is looking pretty amazing!

Adding a door knob to this pumpkin was one of those small changes, with a big impact.  The pumpkin feels finished to me now. I have found gorgeous door knobs and drawer pulls at Hobby Lobby, Anthropologie and Habitat for Humanity. Sometimes they have them by the hundreds. They are various colors, styles and taste. You will have a blast looking for your next project.

It was almost like,”DUH, why haven’t I thought of that before?” NOW,  my book page pumpkin with a door knob stem is complete.

Thanks for stopping by today. I have enjoyed showing you what I have been up to lately.
