10 Painted Coastal Pumpkins

Tom and I really, really tried to carve a "coastal" pumpkin into something fantastic and artistic (it was supposed to be an octopus) so that I would have some kind of awesome photo for you. Needless to say, it was NOT a successful endeavor. (I have to confess...neither one of us is a great diy'er!) It started out a great idea, just did not work out - at least not great "blog-worthy" pics. Was definitely a Pinterest FAIL! We did have fun though, and Tom did let me take his picture....

But I digress.... Here's our 2017 round-up of fun fall pumpkin ideas for the coast, although these are all "non-carved"  options!
