Before I pass out, here is one more quickie, courtesy of the portfolio of interior designer Charles de Lisle. It is a few bits from one of his projects, that features a pretty funky light fixture in a dining room and one of the coolest coffee tables I've ever seen. (I seem to be crushing on Charles as I've blogged his work already here, here and here).
A reader wrote in wondering what to do for a coffee table and has a couple requirements - she doesn't want 2 smaller tables and her other half doesn't want glass. I've been in the same predicament for several months now, and can't seem to find anything suitable, although I will probably go for glass or acrylic since my room is so small. I think coffee tables are a perfect place to add a little bit of the unexpected - a bit of colour, a different style to the rest of the space, a bit of quirkiness....you can really do anything. Since our reader already has a blend of styles in her living room - a sofa (contemporary casual - Crate and Barrel-like), chairs (modern), side table (antique mahogany parlor table), and lamp (Tiffany-style), then why not spice things up? I am loving Moroccan tea tables at the moment as a great way to inject a little bit of ethnicity. Or perhaps something Asian flavoured? Below are a wide range of styles for some ideas.
Coffee tables seems to be a pretty popular topic these days. Jennifer Ramos sent us a link to her website featuring some of her unique coffee tables, like this one:
The guys at modern self emailed us about some great DIY projects such as this pendant light, this amazing paint finish and this coffee table as seen below:
Must also mention the FAB-U-LOUS coffee table recently purchased by Danielle of the style files.
