If you have a similar "dumping ground" in your house for unsightly odds and ends, a pretty bowl might be the perfect solution. Here are some other options (all from Overstock) that you might like:

On another note, thanks to Dayka at Life & Style for showing off my latest Craigslist find. She has the before pictures of my bookcases on her blog. A litte more work, and I'll be ready to share the after pictures with you.
Ooh, love them. I have the bowl 4th one done. Pretty funny you found a wet diaper in yours but if it were my house that wouldn't surprise me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love the 2nd one, but of course I am a sucker for anything green. Have a great weekend! (I'm sure your husband will with the Wildcats playing tomorrow night!).
ReplyDeleteLove the second one--the green and gold. Very cool finds.
ReplyDeleteNew reader, but I love you already!
ReplyDeleteThere is just something about a bowl that always makes me happy! I don't always have a place or a purpose but I always find myself drawn to them... especially when they are on sale!!
the wet diaper is hilarious! i have one at the door for my keys and such, and i love it.
ReplyDeleteyour bookcases are fab. let me know if you find any other great pieces you'd like to share!
That is such a great idea! Something that can be a mess is now going to be so pretty. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteCute! And I can totally see my hubby using a bowl as a great excuse to leave all sorts of weird stuff in it (candy wrappers, old receipts...he's definitely a paper hoarder!). And I love that blue and white bowl....great pattern.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Emily!
Cute bowls! Too funny about the diaper....sounds like my house!
ReplyDeleteI would need a reallllllyyyyy big bowl to hold everything in my dumping ground. :)
ReplyDeleteI've used a bowl for a few years as a catch-all, and have gotten my husband to use a wooden one for his stuff. They're just so convienent!!
ReplyDeleteAnd that fish bowl is gorgeous!
Have a great weekend!
Oh, I'm sorry, was my husband over to your house? That's the only possible way you could have had a wet diaper in that bowl! Yup, totally possible at my house too.
ReplyDeleteI do love your bowl! Now, I'm looking for one for my home!
Have a great weekend...
I love those little fish inside. They look like they are swimming around.
ReplyDeleteThe fish bowl looks great. And I also like the white one with green plants. I've got a similar one, but in terracotta. A great big bowl to put all kinds of stuff in is very handy.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that a pretty bowl can make junk look so much better. We have pretty bowls all over the place since the "junk" piles up everywhere!
ReplyDeletehaha, had to laugh at the wet diaper in the bowl, thats too funny!
ReplyDeleteI definitely do this! It's so great to just throw random stuff that you don't want to misplace. I also use little plates that have raised edges (platters?).
