How many cups of coffee do you require each morning to get you going?

That was a rhetorical question. I get it! Life is tough. Drink more coffee! (I know what you’re thinking right now…how many cups have you drunk Laura.) Answer: 3. And I needed every cup.

Nevermind. Perhaps we should be buying more pumpkin luminaries from the Desert Steel Coffee Series to pump us up instead?

Yep. I’m going with the latter. Let’s get spiced up this season and purchase a few coffee-flavored pumpkins to rev up our fall decorating. What could be more thrilling?

Oh. I know. Winning a set of two pumpkins from the Desert Steel Coffee Series. ARV $120!

And please. Please. I beg you….tell me which Coffee Series Pumpkin is your favorite, the orange spice, the expresso, or the mocha?

HOW TO ENTER TO WIN!!

Pumpkin variety with Desert Steel

Desert Steel never disappoints. As in never.

Color, size, weight, details, quality, it’s all there. Joy in those details. True craftsmanship.

But it’s their variety that gets my creative juices flowing. Desert Steel could never launch a boring product.

Think about it: if you’re going to do a namby-pamby job decorating (yes…that’s a real phrase, google it!) then why bother decorating at all?

If your house is white, go for that dark expresso pumpkin for some eye-popping contrast. Brick house? How about the mocha for some light and dark difference?

If you are new to the pumpkin scene, you will LOVE the orange pumpkin spice. It’s a high-gloss orange and it positively glows even when not lit up.

Confession time: the orange spice is my favorite out of all the Desert Steel pumpkins. There. I said it and I can’t go back! It is the exact shade of orange that you will swoon over.

I could display 15 orange spice pumpkins in my front landscaping and be happy.

But then again, I also love the silly stoutness of the mocha and all those white flecks. Yet the expresso is incredibly unique. Try two expresso pumpkins to make any white or lighter-colored house explode with thrills.

Have black shutters? Then you know exactly what I mean. Expresso pumpkins will be the two titans guarding your front porch.

Illuminating thoughts…

So we have a big decision to face here, folks.

Real lit candle or a flameless one?

Regardless of your ultimate choice, I will tell you this. The bottom is amply suited for either. Big enough for a good-sized candle to fit inside.

If you are wary of using a “real” candle, then get a battery-operated flickering flameless candle on a timer.

This way, your pumpkins will be glowing when you come home from work (it gets dark so early these days!)

Don’t hesitate to use real candles either, especially if you choose to display your metal pumpkin luminaries inside.

Nothing gives the ambiance of a real candle lit up! Perhaps you will use one of these pumpkins on your dining room table for a Halloween or Thanksgiving display.

Or prop three pumpkins on a floating shelf for some real pizazz? Why not use a real flame? Neither the kids nor the cat can reach up there.

Either way, you can’t go wrong. These pumpkins are stunning even when not glowing. Beautiful just the way they are! Just like you, dear readers!

Orange Metal Outdoor Pumpkin

Picture perfect Desert Steel Pumpkins

Isn’t it amazing that when you see someone’s social media picture and compare it to the “real, live” person, you are a little…..gulp, underwhelmed?

Sometimes, it seems as if there’s no resemblance whatsoever—ditto for the silly emoji pics. Everyone is seriously 20 years younger.

But with Desert Steel the opposite holds true. Sure, you’ll see a picture online and think to yourself “those are probably really nice luminaries.”

But when you actually see the products in person using those five senses including touch and sight, you are going to be super impressed.

Desert Steel pumpkins seem even bigger, more detailed, and more beautiful than their pictures represent.

And that my friends, is a tall order.

From the second you rip open the box, you are going to be satisfied. Decor for now and down the road.

Pumpkin decor from the beginning of September all the way through November. Three months to show off your style with Desert Steel.

So the magic formula is this: get one of each. A pumpkin spice, expresso, and mocha for the ultimate decorating recipe. Display at different heights for more fall flare!

Gifting with Desert Steel Coffee Series Pumpkins

Gifts are real. Gifts are serious, too! Christmas, birthdays, mothers day, fathers day, housewarming, teacher appreciation day, and nurses’ day, just to name a few.

You want to give “the” gift. The one that gets their heart to glow. So why not give a gift that will make their heart flutter AND light up their front porch?

One can have their cake and eat it with Desert Steel. Quality for many years to come.

Choose a gift that is as beautiful as it is durable. These luminaries can be used both inside and outside. I do both, and I have never hesitated to display them in our outdoor landscape.

Even with our unpredictable New York weather, I confidently display Desert Steel pieces to show off my home pride out of doors.

Yes….all metal will rust over time. You know this! But honestly, I think it just ages these pumpkins with the right patina making them look even more lifelike.

Give mom a Desert Steel orange spice pumpkin for her birthday and when she raves about it, give her the expresso one for Christmas!

P.S. It’s okay to buy a few for yourself. No judgment here!

But I digress, I hope YOU win a set-of-two Desert Steel Pumpkins in the coffee series. You CHOOSE which two you would like pumpkin spice, espresso, or mocha. The joy of decorating with Desert Steel!

    Pumpkin Spice and Espresso look like fun pumpkins. Recently, the annual Pumpkin Roll in Chagrin Falls happened. Real pumpkins are rolled down a very steep hill and smashed, then the high schoolers slide down on sleds. On the eastside, we couldn’t put our pumpkins out too soon or they’d be “borrowed” for the Pumpkin Roll.
