Tall orange pumpkin luminary

It’s my favorite time of year. Fall decorating. Can you guess why?!?

It’s because I just don’t feel the same pressure as I do with Christmas decorating. The stress is real.

There’s no competition with the neighbors like there is at Christmas. You can deny it all you want, but Christmas bling is competitive.

With Fall decorating, I just get to wholeheartedly enjoy myself.

Besides, it feels like it has been forever since I changed up the scenery in my house. Call it getting a bad case of “summer” slacking.

But now is the time to enhance your indoor and outdoor spaces with the delightful Desert Steel!

So I am thrilled for the two winner’s today who each get a set-of-two steel pumpkins from Desert Steel including the Tall orange and white squatty pumpkins.

How to enter to WIN a magnificent set-of-two pumpkins!

Simply fill out the SweepWidget form at the end of the post.

White squatty luminary

Perfectly proportioned pumpkins!

How’s that for alliteration? Sorry…I couldn’t resist.

But I’m getting off-topic. There’s a time and a place for “real” pumpkins, like when you want to roast the pumpkin seeds.

However, I like symmetrical pumpkins, I’m not sure if it’s the perfectionist in me or what, but it’s the truth.

Pumpkins with zero flaws that shine bright day or night, inside or out of doors. Desert Steel pumpkins, always sure to stun!

The slits in the sides of these beauties are ideal. Using a flameless candle on a timer is your best bet. Of course, you can use real candles too, but you have to be extra careful with live flame.

With young-ish kids, I’m avoiding the live flames at this time!

Now let’s talk about size. Not too big and not too small pumpkins that please. They are big enough that they’ll grab the attention of anyone walking or driving past your house, but not too big that they overwhelm any space.

So using one of these glamorous pumpkin luminaries as a centerpiece on your dining room table or console sounds amazing!

Color me happy with Desert Steel Pumpkins…

Getting the color right is always a priority in life. Ever try to choose a shade of yellow to paint the kitchen? Then you know exactly what I mean.

Desert Steel always seems to understand the power of color and gets the hue exactly right each time.

The Tall Orange pumpkin will easily blend with your other “real’ pumpkins from the patch as the shade is spot-on.

Ditto for the White squatty pumpkin. White pumpkins are becoming quite the thing these days, aren’t they?

But mixing orange and white pumpkins is the way to go. You will cherish the “warm” white of the squatty pumpkin very much!

Throw in a few mums and if you get adventurous, a Scare Crow and a few corn stalks and you are living the dream.

And don’t hesitant to display a few of these wonderful pumpkins on a hay bale and then compost the bale in your garden when you are done!

But seriously, if you want your house to stand out on the block, quality steel pumpkins from Desert Steel are the way to go!

Desert Steel Pumpkins tips & tricks

So minor assembly is required for these lovely luminaries. Pretty much if you can pass 2nd grade math, you can put the two halves together and insert the stem.

I like the new design because it’s super easy to disassemble them in the off-season when December rolls around. This makes storage a breeze!

Both flameless candles on a timer or real candles can make these luminaries look incredible! I guess it depends on if you have small inquisitive children or grandchildren at home…or not.

Mixing “real” fall decor with art created by Eric right in Wichita, Kansas can be a real pleasure! Who needs that pumpkin spice coffee anyhow when you have Desert Steel to light up your life?

Keep in mind, that like most Desert Steel products, the pumpkins will slightly age over time giving them an even more realistic and rustic appearance.

Last, pumpkins are truly orange and white so you can’t go wrong with whatever color you decide.

The biggest decision is whether to go tall or squatty and with that, I simply can’t help! Are more of a “fat” pumpkin or “tall” pumpkin type of person? So tough!

Fall in love with Desert Steel Pumpkins!!!

So if you’ve never purchased anything from Desert Steel before their pumpkins are a great first choice.

But I will warn you. Desert Steel Pumpkins are addicting. Once you try one, you will want at least one of each!

By all means, start with a traditional orange pumpkin but make sure you then add a white. Then explore the whole Coffee Series for some serious pumpkin glamour.

Throw in some gourds and you are all set for fall decorating from September all the way until the end of November.

Sure, carving pumpkins with the kids can be fun. When you have lots of patience, time and a willing heart to clean up all those pumpkin guts.

But other years, I just want to pull these beautiful steel pumpkins out of the attic and have my fall decorating done in literally minutes.

And the ambiance Desert Steel brings to your front porch is stellar. If you’re mindful, use a real candle, if you’re like me, use a flameless candle on a timer to enjoy these luminaries for many years to come!

Desert Steel boasts 12 options of pumpkins/gourds to choose from. How can you go wrong?
