Let's talk about coffee tables....

Since you were all such good sports about my occassional little outbursts about the Bush family, let's have a nice pallette cleanser and talk about coffee tables.

I have surely had more coffee tables than the average person. I've had big coffee tables, little coffee tables, cheap coffee tables, expensive coffee tables, rectangular coffee tables, L-shaped coffee tables, and kidney shaped coffee tables. Some have been glass, some have been wood, some have been tiled, some have been laminate. But they've all been special in their own coffee table way.

Take this little number: Sturdy and sensible, while still chic. Perfect for the college age style guru and/or go-go boy:



Or the big, wide-open, coffee table, perfect for lounging on the sectional:



Or the ultra-chicness of pure, strong Glass on an organic base!



Or this dainty little table from my first one-bedroom apartment!



Nowadays, of course, as a Christian Homemaker, I tend to more substantial tables. Like the charming one currently in the Sala Grande of Chez Vel-DuRay:



So imagine my Charm and Delight to find this! It's more the "cocktail" version of a coffee table, what with it's built-in bar. Perfect for the "rumpus room" of Chez Vel-DuRay



Yes, if life is measured, as I suspect it is, in terms of Fabulous Coffee Tables, then I am truly blessed.
