Hi friends!
I love the look of copper. I don’t see it very often in decorating which kind of surprised me. Copper has such a wonderful warm tone to it. Normally as soon as Fall comes around I bring out different copper pieces to decorate my home.
I have several pieces of Coppercraft Guild.
Coppercraft Guild was a home party in the 1950’s & 1960’s. The Tupperware of Copper items.
I recently found this Coppercraft Guild compote bowl. It has some serious issues on the inside. But, since it was only .99 cents (after 50% off ), I decided it was perfect for what I had in mind for it.
As you can see, pretty bad condition on the inside of the bowl. I knew this could not be cleaned or polished off. However, I didn’t plan for the inside to be showing when I use it.
One of my brothers, for Christmas, said he just went into Homegoods Store, found a large wicker basket he thought I would like and started filling it with different things. He told me that this is the ONLY time he would go into that store and just for me. LOL
One of the items that was tucked into the basket was this beautiful potpourri. So, when I saw the copper compote dish, I knew it would be the perfect thing to hold and display this pretty potpourri.
And I was right. It smells heavenly!
The colors look lovely in the copper dish.
An easy, inexpensive way to add a new metal to your home décor, a copper dish filled simply with a beautiful potpourri.
I’m joining:
Diann that potpourri is perfect in that bowl! I love that your brother shopped HG for you!

If those spots are not through the finish, Barkeepers Friend would probably clean that bowl up really, really fast. I use it for all my brass, aluminum cookware, and copper - not to mention sinks and chrome. About the only thing I don't use it on is silver. Fabulous product. Most Walmarts carry it.
ReplyDeleteThat looks very nice! A great idea, especially since copper looks lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
I use to collect copper and use it all over the house. I counted one days and found that I had 285 pieces!! Over the years I have slowly gave them away, but, I still have some beautiful pieces.
ReplyDeleteI find copper really warms up a space.

Very nice, Diann. It looks great! Susan
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, I don't know why we don't see more copper. Maybe because the big trend is in painting everything white or cream with lots of blues and grays as accent colors -- really, copper wouldn't look very good with any of that! Copper would look just fine in my home, where dark furniture and plenty of rich colors still abound. I think the copper compote looks perfect with the potpourri, Diann, and how sweet that your brother bought that for you.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so nice. Love the cute copper piece, a pretty accent piece. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Karie
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of that bowl - great find. And copper is coming back in style! :)
ReplyDeleteI love copper! Yours is beautifully displayed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find, Diann! laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely piece, Diann! It is perfect for holding your potpourri. My parents had a lot of copper pieces. Not sure if they still have them all, but I know my Mom has a copper tea kettle that she always had out for display.
