Vintage Wooden Bowls

If you are like me you see all of the wooden salad bowls in the thrift stores. I mean they are there almost every time I pop in for a peek.  I LOVE wooden bowls, they are so warm and usually such a great colour! I usually always pick them up and use them for a lot of things in our home. Decor being the main use. I adore how plants look in them, all cozy and  important.

Most of the time I just clean the bowls up… this one in particular had seen better days. I cleaned it  with warm sudsy water and dried it very well, I then over stained it. Over staining is simply re-staining over the existing finish. This really brought it to life for me,  I then oiled it with my hemp oil that sealed it and brought out the grain, perfect.

This bowl required a bit of white paint on the outside… I love how it brightened it… I just poked a bottle with some spring flowers inside it and called this vignette done. You can see more of this Spring entryway here.

I’m pretty much a sucker for any wooden bowls actually, I am very fond of  the antique ones especially… they are perfect to gather some of my favourite things in a display.  Wooden bowls are wonderful on their own or with your curated goodies, don’t you think?

Wooden bowls also look amazing with bottles…

Since this bowl has a rounded bottom I used a flat disc, now the bottles will stand up straight and stay secure.

I also LOVE putting candles in my bowls… this is one of my very favourite projects. You can see exactly how I did this candle bowl here.

Another look, just because. 😉 Do you love bringing wooden bowls home too? What are some of the ways you use them in your home, I’d love to know?

Thank you so much for stopping in, I so appreciate you  being here! Please now, won’t you go see what all of my Cozy Living friends are up to for July.
