Has it been decided yet that the whole chic styled coffee table phenomena originated from bloggers wanting to have as pretty a home as those girls featured on the likes of The Everygirl and Glitter Guide but only have the extra hours to make one surface of their dwelling pretty at a time? I like to think yes. So I dub these photos my coffee table tour. It’s about the only place in my new apartment that’s fully unpacked, though I won’t say it’s at 100% because I haven’t yet found the perfect area rug to go underneath. Now, a brief how to for the perfect coffee table…
First, the essentials. We all know our feet will be propped on it anyway, might as well make a pedicure out of it.
Second, cold brew–always.
A little crystal collection mixed in with found rocks from coastal trips.
Ranunculus, a la Trader Joes, and a succulent arrangement or two.
Add in a DIY element, like my DIY map book covers.
Current reads and a magazine, no need for more than that.
Leave a bit of room for the clutter of coffee mugs and dinner dishes, miscellaneous writing utensils and if possible, more candles and more flowers.
