Checkered pumpkins

I like the checkered pumpkins. I thought I would try touches of them in the kitchen for fall. Just experimenting a little.

I like the pumpkins; they fit right in and look great in your kitchen.

@ladycos I love those pumpkins, and they look great in your kitchen. I wish I could fine some of those, but all I can find are solid black, solid white, or cloth ones that are in fall colors.

Black and white are the same colors I have in my kitchen. If I was daring, I would rip up the tile floor and put down a black and white checkered tile, but am afraid that it would scare some away when I put the house on the market.

I am so tempted by the MacKenzie Childs pumpkins, but in order to buy 3, it's well over $250. Would you share where you found those checkered ones?

Thank you @Cacablegurl
Mine are cloth and I found them at hobby lobby and some at Joann’s. I hope you find what you are looking for. I love this look.

@ladycos

Just reading the title of your thread, my thought before clicking in was "oh boy, I'm not going to like those".

But boy was I wrong. I love what you are doing with black and white! Your kitchen looks so inviting, and even more so, it's homey and warm, which isn't something I usually associate with black and white decor (it usually says 'formal and sophisticated' to me, and not in a bad way at all).

Just beautiful!

@Mominohio

Thank you, I'm glad that's the feel you get because that was what I was going for. Sometimes with the stainless appliances and white cabinets things look a little cold. I thought if I mixed the black and white pumpkins etc in with a little farmhouse it might work. Thanks to other poster mentioning checked pumpkins in a post.

It's amazing the ideas I get by reading the post. I have really enjoyed all the pictures and ideas. It has been very helpful. I feel like I found my people, haha.

Oh no . . . I love those! Darn you, @Hooty!

@loriqvc, thank you, I love them too! Walmart was just putting out their fall items and they had some really cute things, there were only two of these left, and I just had to have them, LOL!

@Hooty - I was just trying to see if they were available on the WM website; do you have any details about a brand name or whether they were called "gingham" or "checkered" pumpkins or something similar? I couldn't find them online. I can see that the pumpkins in your photo have tags but can't read them...

Oooohhh, I did find a stacked version of the checkered pumpkins—what a deal!

Your pumpkins look great! I especially like that you have varied the size of the checks.

I like looking at it, I wouldn't do it. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to my pumpkins ad Fall decor. Last year at the Farmer's Market, I did see some Heirloom pumpkins that were a soft blue/white. They had large ones and mini ones and thought about doing an arrangement but I chickened out.
