super bowl

aw, c'mon. you didn't think i was really going to post about THE Super Bowl, did you?

(chuckle, chuckle.)

nah...i wouldn't do that to you!
i don't know about you, but i've had enough football-talk to last me for a looong while.

in the last few weeks, i finally unpacked most of the books in my house and have been filling the

bookcases in my "library". i have been looking at images to get inspired to style them in a way

that makes me happy...and one of the things i have been noticing is the use of bowls (among

other decorative objects) as accessories when styling not only bookcases, but in creating pretty,

memorable vignettes:


(via from the right bank)
don't you like the mix of objects in this bookcase? the footed bowls add so much to the styling here.

(via caitlin wilson)
can you spot the little bowl in the coffee table vignette? i really like the chic look of the objects in the tray.

(via caitlin creer)
here, caitlin creer has perched a patterned bowl atop a stack of books on a simple table. 

(via martha stewart)
love how this little bowl is holding some coral, and the footed bowls just above it are empty.
did you spot the little bowl on the top shelf as well? so simple, so pretty.

another patterned bowl atop books. pretty, pretty.

a close up of the above bowl.
aren't the colors and the pattern beautiful?

(via elements of style)
another bowl on top of books, but this time the bowl is a very textural element that
compliments the coral.

if you like this look, here are some bowls that you can purchase to add to your accessory arsenal:

i think the color and texture on this bowl would look great in any space.

the textures on this organic capiz shell and driftwood bowl are magical. this
bowl would look amazing in a vignette with a slightly coastal feel.

this blue willow bowl would look great with an orchid potted in it.

this footed trophy bowl  would make a statement one any shelf or on any table.

if you are looking to add a jolt of color to your vignette, consider one of these streak dye bowls.

i am in LOVE with this bowl. how incredible would it look with some succulents in it? VERY incredible indeed. very.
