Pumpkin Houses, Perfect for Halloween
Are there really pumpkins big enough to live in? Yes. And if you can't get your hands on a big enough pumpkin this Halloween season, you can always make your pumpkin house out of smaller pumpkins and other materials. Here are some perfect for a Halloween visit or photo op.
As I can't find the true source for this photo, I can't say whether this is a real house or not. But I do have to say that it would be amazing to spend a day in here. I imagine it has a rocker with a quilt, a wooden kitchen table, and handcrafted twig chairs. Certainly a hearth with a kettle. You'd have to roast pumpkin seeds and make pumpkin pies for sure. And perhaps a nutmeg scented candle may be delightful for ambiance. I don't know how you'd keep it from rotting. Any thoughts?

This Geodesic home, built in 1997 by Steve Miller in Vermont, is not made of a real
pumpkin. It is actually made of plywood and other various materials. He put his wife in it, and his daughter in it, and himself in it. They live very comfortably and keep very well.
Not sure what this pumpkin house is made of. But it would be a wonderful little tool shed turned Halloween Haunted House. No windows, so I wouldn't close the door while I was in there, but it certainly could be made into a nice and spooky pumpkin house filled with cobwebs and maybe even a Halloween witch.
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden gets quite creative with their use of pumpkins. This pumpkin house is covered in pumpkins and various squashes. A great idea if you ask me, and perfect for a family photo op. For more great Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden pumpkin photos, check out Pumpkin Patch in Photos.
