Earlier this fall, I stopped by a local pumpkin stand to pick up a few “ugly” pumpkins for our front porch and stumbled upon an amazing selection of dried gourds. Impulsively, I picked up a couple thinking they’d be perfect for fall decor. While I originally intended on displaying them as-is, I later to try a little experiment with them to create a look that’s more “me” … I love the appearance of aged, primitive vases and bowls, but they can be quite expensive. So with a little inspiration from Pinterest, I decided to try my hand at transforming these gourds into my very own primitive-inspired vessels. Let’s take a look!
