Metallic Pumpkins

I partnered with Fusion Mineral Paint for this post.

You may have noticed my metallic pumpkins in our dining room from our home tour.

I’m seriously loving metallics right now. Are you?

If so, Fusion Mineral Paint has some brand new metallic paints created with my good friend Matthew Mead. They are gorgeous.

So I wanted to bring some shimmer and shake to faux pumpkins from Michaels. These pumpkins were pretty sad to say the least.

See what I mean?

All I did was apply two coats of Fusion’s metallic paint. I used pearl on this pumpkin:

Want to create this look in your home? Here’s how:

Metallic Pumpkins

Matthew Mead Studio’s Fusion Metallics in Bronze, Brushed Steel and Pearl
Fusion Tinting Kit in Copper
Faux or real pumpkins (I got mine at Michaels)
Paint brushes

Simply stir you’re paint and brush on. Let dry between coats. I did two coats on these. Some of the pumpkins I bought bleed (because they were super cheap).

I love how these metallics have added a hint of glamour to our dining room.

The copper pumpkin was created with the Fusion Mineral Tinting Kit in Copper, I had some down in the basement but the other colors are in the Matthew Mead Metallic line. These new metallic paints come in larger clear containers (250 mL), show no brush strokes and are at a better price point than the tinting kit.
