coffee table celebration

It was a big day in our apartment yesterday. Our coffee table arrived. This may not seem like a big deal to most, but if you knew what we went through to get said piece of furniture, you would feel the need for a celebration, as well. Lo and behold, 5 months later, our coffee table has arrived, and a beautiful one at that. I’m thrilled with how it turned out. With that being said, I’ve been in a ‘coffee table mindset’ the past many hours. We have a few accessories on the table, but I’m not sure if I love the arrangement just yet. I’ve been trying to figure out what would look just right on this prominent piece of furniture in our apartment. I’ve found some images that are helping inspire me.

    So pretty! I love the way you “decorated” it. Trust me, I know your pain with ordering furniture–it’s such a hassle! But it’s that much better when it actually shows you–now you can put up your feet and relax!

    Cofee table books get my vote! Flowers and candles, both low are always good, too. Forget the orchids – they never last!!!…Deanna
