A Simple Solution to Decorating Your Dough Bowl

Since moving to Florida, I have kept an oval dough bowl on my gathering room coffee table.  I really enjoy decorating it for the seasons.  Lately, I have been drawn to more simple decor.  A “less is more” type of thinking.  I am also finding myself drawn to more muted colors.  I recently replaced our blue slip covers with white ones made out of drop cloths.   With the lighter palette in the gathering room, I was looking for a simple seasonal arrangement for the dough bowl.

I believe that mine is a reproduction but there are still many antique ones available.  Dough bowls used to be used when making bread.  The bowl was a great place for the bread to rise, the wood helped retain the heat which in turn helped the dough rise.  They are also sometimes referred to as trenchers. Mine is 20 inches long and oval.  I also have a hand hewn one that is round.  The oval shape of this one seems to work better on the coffee table.

The Seasonal Inspiration

For an early Spring dough bowl arrangement, I made a hand tied arrangement of pink faux tulips.

I liked it so well, I thought maybe I could replicate it for late Spring with only a few small changes.  While watching a Zoom earlier this week on photo styling, I was reminded of some ribbon and white tulips that I had found when I went through all the boxes from my days of owning the flower shop.  The strip of webbing is actually excess “fabric” that I cut off of a piece of non skid rug pad!  I saved it thinking it might come in handy one day! This type of thinking is why my husband thinks I am a hoarder!

I simply cut off a piece of the muslin ribbon and tied it around the stems. Then I placed the bouquet in the dough bowl.

While this option would have worked, I wanted to add a little more texture and interest to the arrangement.  By winding the strip of webbing into a whimsical shape and placing it under the hand tied tulip bouquet, the arrangement is taken from ok to striking, don’t you agree?

The actual choice of what kind of faux flowers to use is up to you.  White roses, daisies, or even a bundle of green faux herbs would be equally as lovely.  Bright colors or what I call a hot summer mix of colors (red, hot pink, & orange) could also be used.  The technique is the same regardless of the color palette chosen!

I absolutely love this table!  I call it the “Glo Ann” table after the friend who gave it to me!  If you are interested in learning more about the table, you can find all the details here: Farmhouse Fireplace Decorated for Spring

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
