Style Splurge and Save: Statement Bowl

I saw these two statement bowls, both in person, within a day of each other and I love them both.  One of them was too stunning to ignore, so I bought it, but I’ll leave that a secret until you see it in an upcoming styled post. Which one would you splurge or save on?

SPLURGE starburst centerpiece bowl $149 from Crate and Barrel, SAVE wire bowl by Threshhold for Target $24 (not available yet online, but check you local store).

 

Have a perfect Wednesday!

 

P.S.  Want more House of Earnest? I’m over on Coco + Kelley today sharing a precious date night idea (for which you don’t have to be ‘at sea’ to enjoy)

    I might have to splurge! We already have the candleholder and starburst mirror in the same vein as the bowl and I have to say I’ve been crushing on that one from Crate and Barrel for several years. It’s so pretty!

    As much as I love the splurge bowl, there is no way I could get away with spending that much on a decorative bowl. This time, I’d say save. They’re both gorgeous.

    These bowls are just gorgeous, perfect for holding all of the apples that I plan on picking in the months ahead:)

      Alison, That’s such a good point! I’ll have to go apple picking this weekend just to fill my bowl!

    I’m with Mandy on this – I’d have to say save this time! They are both gorgeous though!!!!

    I think it depends on what you’re using it for. For pure decorative purpose, the C&B version is much more intricate and exciting. To hold apples in the kitchen, the Target one would be perfect. They’re both gorgeous – dying to know which you chose!

    We received the splurge bowl as a wedding gift! I actually hung it on the wall… kind of a starburst-ish look :) Love it!

      Brianna – That is such a good idea! I actually contemplated making the one I bought into a domed ceiling light! We’ll see if that turns out :)

    OMG, I love these bowls! I always aim to save though, so I think Target wins on this one! xoxo
