Valentine Vessel

Valentine Vessel; bowl with antique pink ornaments, modern art, dining room; Nora's Nest

After six years of marriage and a little one in tow, I think my husband may have figured me out a little bit ;). While wandering around an antique shop this past weekend, my husband called out to me (without showing me his secret find), "Hey sweetie? I'm just going to go ahead and put this at the register. I know you're going to want this thing."

"This thing" was just about the most fabulous concrete bowl I have ever seen, and when we brought it home, I knew it had to hold my collection of pink antique ornaments from years past. Voila, a sophisticated Valentine Vessel was born. Thanks to my Valentine!

From the softest hue to the hottest fuchsia, this bowl runneth over with pink ornaments.

The pop of color is a perfect juxtaposition to the rough cement bowl and neutral backdrop.

The ornaments are crackled, distressed, and paint-chipped. Each is unique and lovely.

Along with this fabulous bowl, I've been redoing our dining room and can't wait to show you the results soon. Stay tuned!
