I had that same container in my cart along with another one - loved it, but chose the other one because of the plants I intended to put in it.
I too, like the idea of some ivy, perhaps a variegated vinca and a smaller container (like maybe a clay pot) set semi-permanently in the middle for seasonal bulbs. When there's no bulbs in it, the draping plants could be arranged to cover the inner container too, or a kalanchoe or other small-sized blooming plant could be set inside it. Lots of potential versatility that way.
