How Would You . . .
This adorable Jeu de Quilles (Bowling) Set ($575), designed to look like toy soldiers, is from 1940s France. With only nine pins left, it's probably a bit difficult to play a genuine bowling game. So, I'd like you to think outside of the alley and tell me how you'd use the set in your home as décor or a furnishing.

Love It or Hate It? Kim Buck Hollowware Bowl
I'm intrigued by the whimsical novelty of this Hollowware Bowl, which I spotted on Design Crack. Echoing the design of a Mylar balloon, this inflatable bowl could hold fruit, but it's more likely to serve as conversation piece. I like the playfulness of it, but I'm having trouble shaking my perception of Mylar as tacky.
DIY: Rockin' Vinyl Record Bowl
I love crafts made from recycled records, like this blue-vinyl wall clock and ring-binder journal. It's a great way to re-purpose damaged or dorky vinyl, and the items have a lot retro charm. One of my favorite projects is this Rockin' Vinyl Record Bowl, which is a ridiculously easy DIY endeavor you can complete in less than half an hour.
Love It or Hate It? Thorsten van Elten Still-Life Bowl
The Thorsten van Elten Still-Life Bowl ($100) is a fruit bowl made from a glazed earthenware dish outfitted with an oak frame that can be set horizontally or vertically, so you can create your very own still life without even getting your paint brush wet. Yeah, you might prefer a van Gogh, but you can't have everything, can you?

Love It or Hate It? Neptune Bowl
The Neptune Bowl ($295) is a unique serving piece with an oceanic influence. Designed in nickel plate and stainless steel with decorative octopus legs by Michael Aram, this is a fanciful and fun object, though one that seems like it would be more at home in Jack Sparrow's floating casa than my landlubber one.

Casa Verde: Customized Wedding Ring Bowl
If you're looking for a way to enhance the unique feel of your wedding ceremony, consider adding one of Caroline Colom Vasquez's gorgeous ring bowls to the big day. Vasquez, an Austin, TX, artist and designer, runs the shop Paloma's Nest, where she designs ceramic bowls, tiles, and decorative pieces for the home. Many of the pieces in the Paloma’s Nest line are available with custom texts, which adds special meaning to the pieces.
Casa Quickie: Vases as Fish Bowls
To me, big ole electric fish tanks just scream bachelor pad, or worse, a divey Chinese restaurant. There's nothing pretty about a standard pet shop fish bowl, either. But having a little Nemo in your home can inspire a connection to the natural world, and there's something calming about watching them propel their little bodies through the water.
Roundup: Sublime Super Bowl Alternatives
Not a football fan, but live with someone who's obsessed with the Super Bowl? I can relate.
If you're feeling trapped by the Super Bowl this Sunday, you have a few options: you can get out of the house, or you can stick around home and make the best of it.
Crave Worthy: Lifesaver Bowls
While the name of these Lifesaver Bowls ($495) is derived from their candy-like colors, their dream-like designs could sweeten even my most sour of days. I just wish I could afford one of these hand-blown masterpieces, particularly in this economy. The bowls/vases were created by New York-based glass blowing artist John Pomp, whose work has been featured in a slew of esteemed publications, such as Vogue, Elle Décor, and the now-defunct House & Garden.
