The best topiary pumpkins hands down!!

[@countryfrau8328]

I really really like what you did with those pheasants! Wow!

[@Leannmg14]

Girl, you crack me up! You painted those pumpkins twenty-five times. They look great! I love them. I wish I could paint like you.

[@thepaintedsouth]

😆🎃 Twenty-five is probably accurate. Lol. You can 100% paint like me because I don't do anything special at all. The key is layering, using the cheap chip brushes and creating texture with the thick/gritty paint mixtures. Oh, and letting the layers dry in between coats so they don't mix, unless you want that blended look. 😬 Xoxoxo

[@debragull7307]

Yes, that's why we love her channel 😅. Painting goals ❤

[@charlotted6247]

I was working on pumpkins the other day. I should have weighed the before and after. I ended up with 7 layers on this 1 little pumpkin 😂😂😂😂. As long as you end up happy, layer it on!!!! I discovered that covering the whole pumpkin with a dark wax, then dry brushing on my final color, it was beautiful. Normally I finish up with the wax. I love experimenting with paint and texture.

[@deborahjones2945]

I love love the topiaries!🧡🧡🧡

[@FrankieKins112]

I loved almost every stage that the pumpkins went through and thought you could have stopped at any place with them.

[@marydray6171]

THOSE STACKED PUMPKINS-WHAT A MASTERPIECE! JUST LOVE IT!!💕💕💕

[@marypoole4724]

OMG girl those pumpkins are the best I’ve ever seen. You are the most talented painter and makeover ever. Have you ever thought about selling them on line? You would make a killing selling them. Trust me you sell out every time you posted them. I for one would buy them. Everything you touch comes out amazing. Can’t wait to see how you decorate your home. You are so inspiring. Your family must be so proud of your talent. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish I could paint like you. Have a great week. Hugs

[@lindadunn6813]

Absolutely love the orange pumpkins. Much better than concrete ones !! 🎃🧡

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! The orange just warms the soul during Autumn. 😊🧡🍁🍂

[@joancaruso170]

I like the cement on the pumpkins but when I saw them in the end yes, yes, and more yes, They are beautiful!

[@reneegardner5142]

Love love love how they turned out❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@eleanorrkuntzi6422]

Fall is the best - the colors are fabulous!

[@georgiapines7906]

I love all of your projects, Deborah!!! Thank you so much for showing us all of the components that you use to achieve the gorgeous finishes. I loved the gray, concrete look on the pumpkins and I confess that I didn't understand why you were messing with perfection.🤔😊 Then, they were orange and even more gorgeous!💞 The birds, the containers, the pumpkins are all stunning! I'm loving the look of your living room, too! Thank you so much for the inspiration, Deborah!⚘ Oh! I have a helpful hint for those of us who use paint in the plastic jars with screw-on lids. Put a thin layer of Vaseline around the outer part of the jar where the screw-on ridges are. Afterwards the paint shouldn't collect there and harden to the point where you are banging and prying on the lids to remove them when you need to use the paint. If at some point in time it begins to become too gunky, I've wiped mine off and reapplied the Vaseline. Thanks again, Deborah!🍁🎃🍂

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you so much! And oh my goodness, THANK YOU for that tip! The struggle is real with the lids, isn't it??? Lol! I will definitely give it a try. Have a wondeful week! Xo

[@georgiapines7906]

@@thepaintedsouth Thanks, Deborah, and you as well!

[@barimusgrove9147]

We have some pumpkins in we’ve had for several years, maybe 10, that we have been wanting to make into topiary’s but didn’t know how. While as usual, your entire video was beautiful and informative, i really appreciated you showing how you made your topiary’s! Thanks for that.

I loved the final colors…the layering with the textures made my heart happy 🍂🍁🌾🐿🧡🤎

[@normamendoza1959]

Absolutely beautiful !!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I am definitely team orange in the fall. But I like a burnt orange with merlots and rusts. Add some copper and brass and some candles and I am set til after Thanksgiving! Can't wait to see the living room decorated. Loving the entertainment unit on the back wall. Now, let me get in the garage to see what I can paint!!!

[@homedecor6915]

Loved your stacked pumpkins....what a great idea on making them instead of purchasing expensive premade ones! I tend to stick with the traditional Autumn colors of orange, brown and copper in decorating for this season. ~ Blessings

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! I love those colors, too. 🧡🍁🍂🌾 I think I want to make some bigger, taller ones for my front porch. The really big pumpkins are expensive so I need to get creative and make my own from scratch. Should be interesting. 😆🎃🎃🎃🎃 Happy Fall Decorating! Xoxoxo

[@Kimella777]

Wow I’m glad you kept painting because the pumpkins turned out gorgeous ❤😊

[@christinestraub1994]

[@rfranksensey]

I loved the pumpkins in a bunch of colors but I can’t remember which ones! Ha! I loved when you added the mustard gold color!

[@avelinasanchez441]

[@kathypenner3478]

These pumpkins are 300.00 dollar pumpkins. They are so beautiful. Love your work and great ideas. Can’t wait to see the finished look.❤️💕

[@karenammons4669]

Truly an inspirational video. Everything turned out beautifully. I Love false and orange /pumpkin everything too. I had to laugh when you said you were a "maximalist" and not a fan of blue....we may be related. I could live in your house,it's so soothing to me. Please never change your background music style, it's another pleasing dimension of your videos. Blessings, fall sister, Karen

[@angl667]

Love, love, love the pumpkins in the orange. Everything turned out so pretty.

[@evelyncintron7801]

❤😊 Fall is about the warmmer earthy tones and you nailed it in the end.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Yes! Love those Autumnal colors. They just warm the spirit. 🍁🍂🧡🎃🌾🤎

[@pameladorsch8111]

I'm a fall girl as well and loved that you painted them orange!

[@mollyj409]

You are so creative and talented!🧡

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you so much!

[@sharonhenry343]

I second this, I love your work!

[@gregrichards3071]

I third this

[@madeira5150]

I failed to mention that I thought both of the ways you did the pumpkins looked amazing...they would have been perfect in the right decor style either way. I also liked it that you showed the different moss looks to give your viewers ideas...this is honestly one of the best fall diy video's that I have seen this year.

[@gracefulgrowing144]

I agree, one of the best

[@sharonsnook7113]

Yes, I agree. Love the results. I learn so much from your projects. ♥️♥️♥️

[@djterry1218]

You are awesomely skilled!

[@Laura-co9ss]

I loved all the stages of the painted pumpkins the end result was the best! Love what you do! Thank you for your videos.

[@brandyoctober5923]

I love the tree i was thinking about getting mine out too. Putting Halloween decor then fall decor on it

[@melissasmith8955]

Such inspiration!!!! These videos where “The Painted South” paints, creates textures, and paints again and again, are my most favorites. Well done my friend!

[@madeira5150]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video...your work is stunning! Thank you for showing us how you made over those pieces...Can't wait to see your fall decorating video...:)

[@fayecraghead6820]

Wow I love the painting techniques you did to the pumpkins! You are major talented and you come up with things I’d never think of! I could watch you paint forever! Can’t wait to see what you do with all of it! Awesome!🥵🥰😅

[@valeriekane615]

Look great now ! Love the process!

[@mitzialamo9352]

Hi Deborah. I love when you post a video...I truly get inspired. Great job on everything but I really love love love the orange pumpkins 😊. I'm still decorating my house for the autumn season too. I have sooo much stuff 😂! I'm enjoying redoing my house but it takes many days to get it done. Sometimes I wish I wasn't that person that changes everything according to what season it is. But living in NJ with its 4 seasons warrants change...at least in my mind 😊. I'm finishing my kitchen, dining room, living room and guest bathroom. Next is the family room, front porch and lawn...and a little in my bedroom. Geez 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️! Bonus, every year I add more which means buying more large bins for storage. I have so much stuff I forget what's in those bins! Shear madness 😂!!! My daughter says "mom, I'm sure somewhere there is a shoppers anonymous group you can join." Hey, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't gamble and as I am terrified of heights, I don't fly unless absolutely necessary. So, I decorate! Cheers!! Blessings to you sweet lady! God bless!!! ❤❤

[@denisejordan8648]

You created the best pumpkins ever. The concrete pumpkins would look so pretty outside on the porch. But I love orange for fall so those pumpkins are gorgeous. You need to open your own shop. You are so creative. Can’t wait to see it all together. Also, I love your music. Be safe.

[@crystlehernandez2872]

Love the final look. I loved them all. Each time you changed them I loved it, but I do li e the orange

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! I had a mental battle with myself there for a minute. Lol! I do love the orange, but I love pumpkins in general so any color would have looked pretty, I think. Ooooo, maybe I'll do more colors... hee hee

[@barbarakozlowski2642]

My favorite season is fall! Everything you painted turned out Gorgeous. I wish I could paint like you. Gosh I just LOVE EVERYTHING. You did a great job making the pumpkins look like cement and I lived them but when you did the orange OMG, Stunning!! I made the pumpkin topiary about 5 years ago. I'd love to do what you have done to yours, Im just afraid I'd mess them up.

[@josephinegiuffrida2802]

I was watching you paint the pumpkins every time I thought you were done you kept painting the end results are beautiful you are so talented

[@lorelynleisure4048]

I wish I had the ability to paint like you, my attempts look like mud LOL! I was thinking a realistic little mouse would be cute coming out of the large gap between the pumpkins! 🤣Thank you for sharing your gifts of decorating and DIY's. I love the orange, my living room is a Tuscan Orange mix, the only thing I ever painted well in layers. I am tempted to try some pumpkin topiaries.

[@rebeccakidder1397]

Love the end result of everything. Can’t wait to see your decorations for fall.

[@SueHawkins6816]

It is so satisfying to watch you work.i am fascinated to see the different items ( joint compound,etc. ) that you add to create texture. I can see how the Lazy Susan has enhanced the process. I am impressed by all of the transformations. My favorites are the pheasants and owl.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you so much! I can't believe it has taken me this many years to buy a lazy Susan... 😆 Why? Idk. I am still experimenting with products. I want to try so many new ones out there, but they get pretty expensive. When I'm painting, I'm in my happy place. 🙂🎨 So glad you liked the owl and pheasants. I liked the concrete look on those, for sure! Have a wonderful week! Xoxoxo 🧡

[@Stephanie-sh4ms]

I love the orange pumpkins. You make me laugh beacuse I do the same thing. Keep going with projects until they have the "IT" factor. Enjoy your videos. Cannot wait to see what you do with the living room. Great inspiration!

[@WJW1024]

You did a fabulous job on everything, especially all the Pumpkins! I mixed Baking Powder with my Paint Colors for Texture!😊

[@MsJet1]

Oooh! I like the pumpkin topiaries with the orange, yellow and brown!

[@robintranchina6588]

Bravo! I’m with you; I love the greens, yellow, gold colors. Great job!

[@laurieberry3920]

Fabulous video! I could watch you paint for hours. And hours. I learn so much from you everytime you paint. Can’t wait till you decorate your living room. Fall off my favorite too!

[@thepaintedsouth]

Yay! Thank you! You're so sweet! Even though those projects took a while because of my indecisiveness, I did love the end results. The cement/concrete look is going on some of my planter pots, for sure! Xoxoxo

Love love your painting technique. Maybe the pumpkins could have had just a whisper of green on them or in the grooves or around the stem areas? You do such talented work. Thank you!
