Donna on Aug 28, 2014Hey Hannah, not a bad idea. I'd have to use artificial succulents. Don't want to take on succulents - I think they are hard to grow & I have poor lighting through out my house. Do you happen to have a pic of a succulent jar?Helpful Reply

Katrina Warren on Aug 28, 2014@Donna It would be awesome at Halloween to display skulls on, or jack-o-lanterns! What can I say I <3 Halloween! Any other time I think would depend on what room you decide to put it in... Then display something that coordinates with the décor there. <3 it, I want one now! :)1 marked as helpful Reply

Carrie on Aug 28, 2014I have this same piece. It sits on my screen porch with jar candles in the summer and fall, and if it gets too cold for the screen porch at Christmas, then I'll bring it in and put it on the table surrounded by a wreath and use as a center piece. I decorate it with Santa's, or tree ornaments, or something of the sort.Helpful Reply

Sharon H on Aug 28, 2014It would be cute on a porch decorated seasonally. Winter would have to be a tiny tree and a snowman and maybe some lights and greenery around the base. I guess it would be cute doing that indoors too.Helpful Reply

Dawn Hendrick on Aug 28, 2014I suggest, that you do a decor of you liking, mine would be the ocean, so top plate would have a hurricane glass with about 1/2 the way with a candle neseled in the middle with starfish/ sand dollar or just shells, second plate a piece of drift wood, and more shells & sea glass , third plate a cute ocean themed basket, $ stores have so many clever things, you could in the middle of the bottom plate inside plant a philadendron vining plant, the unkillable plant and train it to go all up and around the wroght iron p.s aways use doilies so yor treasures wnt slip, curious to see ehat you do please post an shoe us what ever you fecide it is nice!Helpful Reply

Pam W on Aug 28, 2014I think it would be beautiful as a center piece for a dining table, with nice artificial fruits sitting on the plates, with grapes hanging off. I’m not talking about plastic fruit, but gold metallic grapes, or glass grapes and fruits that look like jewels.Helpful Reply

Donna Williamson on Aug 28, 2014I also like the idea of using it as a seasonal showpiece with a candle in the center of each plate surrounded by decorations for the season. At other times, candles of your choice and ivy, etc. would give you a beautiful change. Please don't paint it and ruin it's integrity.Helpful Reply

169756 on Aug 29, 2014This site showed small globes that were covered with glass stones and illuminated. I would probably put small globes with lit candles in them. I'll show the larger one I did to illustrate it. Small ones, with or without lighting they would be very pretty. There are beautiful colors out there, much more vivid than mine.Helpful Reply

Deb Byers on Aug 29, 2014I bought one quite a few years ago and just had candles on it. The plates in mine were terra cotta and I loved them. Unfortunately when I was trying to put it on display on one of those high walls I lost my balance and the plates all broke. So now I'm trying to find some kind of replacements to put in the stand.Helpful Reply

Tamara on Aug 30, 2014I wouldn't mess with it at all. Repurposing or changing it in any way will completely ruin it and candles will stain the stone. Keep it exactly as it is and simply place a few small, yet important trinkets, mementos, or special found objects on the stone plates. Beach glass from a special vacation, a little brooch or a few beads which may have been a gift, a small collection of air plants (plants which require no soil and only occasional watering), or tiny pots with tiny plants, but nothing over powering because you don't want to detract from the piece as that is what you fell in love with and want it to be the focus.Helpful Reply

Cindy Haskell on Sep 09, 2014I agree with Theresa Powell...if you have the room, fold up some face cloths or small hand towels and put it in your spare bathroom....or if not, put something that Birmingham AL is famous for, like sea Shells?? If you need some, I have a ton of them living on Cape Cod!!Helpful Reply

Mary Jo-Bragg on Sep 09, 2014I love it. Yes, I would have bought it also. I see a plant stand for my Sun Room. Also a food service stand to display and serve cupcakes or candy, cookies at gatherings. You could even put nick nacks displayed for seasonal decor . Add a little bling with ivy or anything to make it stand outHelpful Reply

Rosalie chow on Feb 05, 2015Are the plates heavy enough for placing potted plants? Valentine is almost here, put clear glass bowls One for kisses chocolates, one is heart candies, one is for peppermint candies or chocolates. The candies have to be colorful to brighten you home. Great job in finding this iron rod. Love it. Good luck.Helpful Reply
