Over the last few days, I have been analyzing our coffee table. Well, we really don't have one. Here is what we have been using since we moved in.
Now - I love this huge basket. When we first bought it, we had it between our couch and wall. It functioned as a home for our quilts. I have no idea what brought it out into the middle of the floor, but I slapped a tray on there and it stayed.
But it's just not working for us. Here's what I have pinned on Pinterest for inspiration.

I love this option because it can function as a coffee table, a place to kick up your feet and a place you could sit on if I needed to move it around when we have a full house.
I am currently a MWF seeing a SRCT....let me translate: Married White Female seeking a Short Rectangular Coffee Table that I can upholster. I am shopping Craigslist, yard sales and thrift stores. I love the size of the basket, so I am looking for the same size and shape.

Of course, when I find one, that will only begin the torturing part of deciding on a fabric!!! Anyone want to do a little mood board for fabrics that will work well with Sherwin Williams Ancient Marble walls, nude couches, white curtains and some dark, rich brown woods? I'll love you forever :)
You can consider keeping that basket upside down but in that case, the handles will have to be taken care of.

I put together some mood boards for you- let me know how I can get them to you. I tried to e-mail them but I couldn't get it to work on my end. Just e-mail me lpcinteriors@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHehe .. love that you are seeking an SRCT. Too funny. I'm a MWF seeking a MCC (medium china cabinet). Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThe basket looks awesome... how about put a glass over it? or a tray over it.. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your coffee table basket filled with blankets. It makes it so easy to find something to snuggle into on a cool afternoon to watch chick flicks. Have you thought of getting a piece of glass or that thick sheet plastic ( I forget what its called) to lay over the top? Then you could have your natty basket *and* have someplace to set your drinks and popcorn.
ReplyDeleteMy coffee table is a tree stump ith wheels that I uhhh ... borrowed from my sister's old apartment building when they cut down a bunch of poorly placed trees a couple years ago. It still "stinks" like poplar sap and the bark is peeling off.
Good luck finding a nice 'new' coffee table to upholster.
