Wooden Bowl Decor Ideas
I thought it would be good to share some wooden bowl decor ideas with you guys because this is an item I see all the time in thrift stores and garage sales. You know the old wooden salad bowl or wooden serving dishes shaped like fruit and vegetables? I LOVE these old wooden bowls and there are lots of ways you can use them in your decor besides serving a leafy green salad! I hope these ideas give you some fresh eyes for the wooden bowls you probably have in your kitchen cabinets right now! 
Today is even more fun though because I am bringing along a whole set of friends!
