Take a found, bordering-on-ugly candle holder. Add old, thrifted wooden bowl. Next add, paint and some elbow grease. And you have a pretty stylish, chicly shabby pedestal bowl to hold jewelry, hairclips or other little girls' treasures.

And that's not all. Pop over to see Kristi's beautiful Valentine Pedestal Bowl before and after shots at The Speckled Dog. If you fancy yourself one of these Pedestal Bowls but would rather buy one than make one, you could try popping over to her Etsy site to see what she has on her shelves.
