What Can I Put On This? (UPDATED)

[ Edited ]

This is a metal stand that I have.  I used to have an urn with a silk plant on it.  I'm tired of silk plants and would like to do something else.  I really like the stand and don't want to give it up.  I can't come up with anything to put on it.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm sorry it's not a better picture.

 

Edited to say:  This is in my living room.  It's a casual living room.  It's actually in the space between my living room and dining table area.

You could get something different to put in the urn.  Home Goods or Pier One should have something.

Thanks for the suggestion @GCR18.  That's a good idea.  What would I get though?  I'm really tired of silk plants.  I do have some white/ivory silk tulips in a vase on one side of my mantel.  I have ivory Staffordshire dogs in the middle and a silk topiary in an ivory pot on the other side.  I actually love my mantel but feel that's enough silk flowers in the room.

How about a live plant? Something that drapes down.

Is that a vase on top of the book?   That might be an item to try on your stand  till you find something special.  I'm also tired of my silk plants and plan on moving them out.

I like your lizard!    I'd put a frog or owl.......or some other piece of "nature" on the stand.................

I would put a reproduction of a retro radio on it....I play the radio often during the day!

I agree with @hoosieroriginal, but wonder if the register in the floor might be bad for a live plant.

@hoosieroriginal  Thanks for the suggestion.  I had a plant on it at one time.  It was a low light plant, but it died.  That space really doesn't get much light at all.  It did look good though, while it lasted.

I think it depends on what room the stand is located in. Is it in a den, bedroom, etc?
