This Halloween decorating idea uses a monochrome black-and-white theme with mercury glass pumpkins, painted ceramics, and a silver platter with mother-of-pearl inlay. Add a homemade monogram and burlap for texture. Perfect for an elegant, spooky tablescape.

Directions

  1. Use mercury glass pumpkins (like those from Wisteria or Pottery Barn) as the focal point.
  2. Give a ceramic pumpkin a chalky, aged white finish by blending Chalk Paint with flat white paint.
  3. Design a monogram on a computer, print it onto paper, then seal the paper and attach it to a pumpkin.
  4. Refresh a small foam black pumpkin with Fusion black flat paint or Patio Paints flat black for even coverage.
  5. Display the collection by placing the pumpkins on a silver serving tray that features mother-of-pearl inlay, set atop a black marble table.
  6. Incorporate burlap into the arrangement to create texture against the marble, white elements, and mercury glass.
