I agree with Beachmom that fruits rock as a decorating item. And as the seasons change, different fruits are available, changing the colors and textures you display. I’m sad to see citrus go (I love tangerines) but now berries are getting inexpensive.

The best part is when the bowl/basket is empty, you know you’ve been eating healthy!

I love stuff like this! That bowl is beautiful, I need to find something like that. I always want a nice centerpiece like that, and can never find anything that I really like out of my stuff. I think a bowl like that has been what I have been looking for. Thanks for helping me realize it

Great Idea; I love the napkin rings! I agree that most anything, when grouped together, can create great visual interest. Rather than scatter my baskets or glass jars all over my home, I grouped them together, and it made a much bigger impact.

Took out all the silver colored monopoly pieces & showcased them on a bookcase with all the other silver colored pieces.

Displaying fruit in our home has lead to a whole revolution of EATING THE FRUIT that is brought into the house! I think the kids like the “hands off” aspect of displaying fruit, as though it is forbidden. The creative mommy side of me has started adding veggies to the displays and yup, you guessed it, they have started eating those as well!!
