I found a black urn that I had forgotten about while trying to organize my garage recently! I used love urns. I had quite a few of them (they’re so versatile since you can fill them with just about anything). Now I only have this one and few small ones. I sold a lot of my urns in my last garage sale when I went through a “I’ve got to downsize and declutter – how many urns does and person need” phase and now, of course, I wish I hadn’t. But if I held onto everything all the time I would need a few empty rooms for storage!
I brought it upstairs into the dining room to see how it would look. I think I’m going to put a little Christmas tree in it, but for now I did a easy little fall arrangement of some hydrangea stems and a ceramic pumpkin that I didn’t know what to do with this year.

For some reason, I think urns really call attention to whatever is in them.
I’m glad I found my urn!
I agree, urns make anything placed in them stand out more and your pumpkin and hydrangea arrangement is no exception. Looks great! You have reminded me of an urn I have in the basement not being used – must get it up and plop a pumpkin in it!

Unearthing something you’d forgotten about and loving the end result once it’s in place is a joy! I love your black urn.
believe me, you do not want to hold onto everything…just in case. Those 2 rooms? They don’t stay empty long.
I like your little urn and pumpkin.
I’ve not done any fall decorating. But I see lots of cute little ideas. This is definitely one of them.

I could not agree more about urns. I want just the right one for a pillar in my dining room for that very reason. (And even though I thought I was finished with my fall decorating, I now want a big old white pumpkin to stick in a black some somewhere because I’m a copy cat. )
It looks perfect in your dining room! I’ve got an urn in the garage that would look much better with a coat of black paint. I’ll add that to my never ending to do list. 🙂
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!
The color of those hydrangea is wonderful!
The urn looks great, too. Don’t you hate regretting getting rid of certain things? Ugh.
It will look great with a Christmas tree in it!

Love it! Isn’t it nice to find a new use for an old friend:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
I love it, Manuela! The white pumpkin looks great in your black urn and I love how the bronze colored hydrangeas go so well with this Fall look. An easy decorating project that makes a nice statement.
Love it and you just gave me an idea! I have a mini urn and of course a mini pumpkin or 2:)
Have a great weekend sweet friend!
Very Pretty, and the prefect place for it next to the black and white curtains.
Enjoy your weekend.
I love that! It looks very elegant and I can see a little Christmas tree in it too.
Love that black urn and what you did with it.

Looks fabulously versatile to me! (I know what you mean…we can not keep it all! )
I have been on the lookout for urns for ages and never seem to run across any. I love them and love everything you do with them. I downsized a bunch of stuff a couple months ago and now regret it as I see new ideas for using the things I got rid of. Lol, ah well. Live and learn.
I don’t have an urn at them moment, but I am going to be on the hunt for one…I love how you filled yours!

What a neat way to use an urn. I’ve been upcycling some mugs for holiday candles and got real kick out of doing them but your urn is absolutely gorgeous painted black. Makes me want to go to a couple of flea markets.

This is just lovely. I am a huge fan of urns. I love the color of the hydrangeas against the black.

I bought a little ceramic green urn several years ago and did nothing with it until this summer. I put a bunch of lichen and then a moss covered sphere on top of that. It looked o.k. But oh how pretty it is this fall with a bunch of silk leaves some of which are green. It looks fresh and lovely for our not quite fall look down our way. Everything is either bare branched or green as can be, including the lawn. This suits. Now to repaint the other urn, the one I found at the trash dump…
Beautiful fall decorating!
