What I'm Looking At Today: Coffee Tables


Everybody has at least one.....sometimes more and they can be very difficult to find...at least the right ones. 

The coffee table. 
It sits in the middle of your seating group, sometimes piled high with books, flowers and candles, sometimes bare, but there's more to them than a plank and some legs. I often like to use interesting art tables and here's a nice variety of them to choose from. I'm especially taken by the Jacques Adnet table made from horns and mahogany slats.....who wouldn't love that?!

What I don't like...glass.......



Brushed aluminum.

More a side table, but very chic in concrete.
