Fruit - Nature's Art

Besides being tasty and good for you, fruit can also serve as a beautiful display in your kitchen. Cheaper than a dozen roses, a dozen lemons in a clear glass container make a bold display. Artichokes in a wooden bowl make for a graphic one. For something a little more romantic, drape grapes over the edge of a bowl. Here is my current vignette on top of my microwave. It changes based on what looks good when we hit the produce aisle.



I suggest using bowls of varying height to create visual interest in your display. I am head over heels for chunky, vintage wooden bowls. Look for pedestal bowls as well shorter ones. Don't be afraid to incorporate different shapes. Milk glass, clear glass and enamel bowls all work well.

The easy part? Buy some delicious fruit! Pineapples, citrus fruits, apples and bananas all pack visual punch, especially when used en mass. Just remember to remove all those little stickers before displaying.

Here are a few bowls that would make great display vessels!
