What would you put in this bowl???
I bought this bowl on Overstock and absolutely love it! But I can't figure out what to put in it. I dont really like potpourri, so was looking for some interesting suggestions. The bowl part itself is only about 1 1/2 inches deep, but it looks bare without anything in it.
ETA: its a decorative bowl that will sit on our cocktail table

I probably wouldn't put anything in it.
DH would probably put: keys, $, phone, garbage, snack foods, etc!

Maybe a tall candle from Pier 1 that has similar colors to the bowl?
You wouldn't have to light the candle, you could just have it for decoration.

Maybe some clear stones/crystals. DW got some for a flower vase. I'd hate to see most of the bowl hidden, but I think clear stones would still allow most of the pattern to show through.

I agree! I have two similar pieces on my coffee table and I don't have anything in them.

So, that means you plan on it being empty most of the time, right?

Probably nothing. It's so pretty by itself.

Thanks for the great suggestions! I'm going to play around with them and see what looks best, or maybe just leave it empty.

Re: What would you put in this bowl???
I would either do nothing or clear stones for vases. You don't want to lose the look of the bowl itself.
