Do you own any wooden bowls?\u00a0 If you do, then I consider you very fortunate.\u00a0 I have a thing for wooden bowls and wooden dough bowls.\u00a0 Put simply, I have never seen one I didn’t like.\u00a0 Although I’m not at the hoarder level –\u00a0 yet – I do own my share of them.\u00a0 There are lots of uses for antique wooden bowls today, and if you own one (or more), then you might just like some ideas on how to use them.<\/h3>\n

\"Wooden<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I have several old round wooden bowls, and a few new ones.\u00a0 There is always one in the kitchen, and\u00a0 it holds our fresh fruit and veggies.\u00a0 Sometimes it is on the counter, and sometimes it is a centerpiece for the kitchen table.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Bowls<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This small one holding lemons made an appearance when I was photographing this project<\/a> for a blog post.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lamps<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Another of my round bowls holds wooden apples in the winter, and pumpkins and gourds in the fall.\u00a0 The more rustic the bowls are, the better I like them, and they are great for holding seasonal items and adding some character to a room.<\/h3>\n

Another good use for wooden bowls is holding Japanese fishing floats in the summer months like Joan’s at For the Love of a House.<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

One of the dough bowls that I own was an impulse buy a few years ago when I stopped in at a local antique shop.\u00a0 I didn’t realize until later that it is really the size of a small row boat!!!\u00a0 Just kidding, but it is huge.\u00a0 It spends a lot of time resting against the wall in the kitchen.\u00a0 You can see it there in the background.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Merry<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I stuffed it full of faux greenery for a Christmas centerpiece, and it played its role very well.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Wooden<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I was lucky enough to find a hand-crafted wooden bowl on our recent trip to Africa<\/a>.\u00a0 When buying a souvenir while traveling, I always make sure whatever I purchase will fit into our home’s decor and not end up in a closet or a drawer just taking up space.\u00a0 This bowl is a good size for the great room table, but I have a feeling it will get moved around a lot, just like the others.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jordan has two cute wooden bowls.\u00a0 One even came from Amazon, and here’s the link:\u00a0 (wooden bowls<\/a>.)\u00a0 It is holding some painted seeds that she purchased in Africa.\u00a0 Don’t those seeds look like painted wooden balls?\u00a0 They are the size of croquet balls.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This dough bowl came from Ballard Design.\u00a0 Jordan was patient and waited a long time before finding an old one.\u00a0 We were together shopping at a Ballard’s outlet one day, and there it was on sale for 50 per cent off.\u00a0 She keeps it mostly on her dining room table with seasonal items in it.<\/h3>\n

Kim, <\/a>at Savvy Southern Style has a great wooden bowl that she is using to hold some of her French linens.\u00a0 She decorates in the farmhouse style, and the bowl fits right in with her decor.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Dough<\/p>\n

Here is Jordan’s bowl from Amazon again.\u00a0 She used it for lemons in her last house, and I bet those lemons will make an appearance at this house, too.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0\"Uses<\/h3>\n

If you check Pinterest, you can find lots of styles and uses for wooden bowls.\u00a0 Do you have any, and if so, how do you use them?<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
