DECORATING WITH DOUGH BOWLS TO BRING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT

Fall decorations are in full gear here at Life on Summerhill. This year we are incorporating decorating with dough bowls. So we are bringing you some amazing dough bowl decorating ideas filled with harvest goodies.

Decorating With Dough Bowls

In the past, dough bowls were used to nestle your bread dough while it was rising. Now, these precious rustic bowls are used in centerpieces for decoration.

Many of our Instagram friends are decorating with dough bowls for a pleasing new piece in their home this fall.

If your dining table isn't the place you want your dough bowl to rest, in front of your fireplace on an old truck is a great idea just like Bethany's.

The different colored pumpkins are breathtaking!

If you added cotton in your decor after reading our Fantastic Cotton Decor post or if you painted pumpkins to match your home decor as we did in our Farmhouse Pumpkin Centerpiece post, see what you can use to fill your bowl with what you already have.

Buying pumpkins from a farm or the produce sections at your store and painting them white is a great way to save money and give your fall decor an excellent farmhouse look.
