Coffee Table ReStyle

Hi Friends, a few weeks ago I needed to finally put away all my "Spring" rabbits, bunnies, and whatever... I'd been putting it off cause I hadn't felt so great, but when everyone started talking "Summer" it was obvious that my sweet little Bunny Man Basket needed to be tucked away for next year.

I wanted a neutral "Seasonless" look in the Living Room; one that was easy to keep with a minimum of effort. I don't like to extend a season way past it's "best if used by" date... says the person who still has a bunch of silk daffodils on top of the kitchen china cupboard. What can I say, I have to get a step stool to get them down...

I'd unpacked this hexagonal bronze cloche last Fall and had it in a bookshelf downstairs, but not really decorated. I thought it might work upstairs for the coffee table, so I grabbed a few of my vintage clay flowerpots and filled them with tea lights. I love the patina on these little guys, especially the painted blue/green one toward the front.

Michele had reminded me that I needed to get some ivy starts potted, so when I visited the nursery last week, I picked up a couple of pots of Glacier Ivy for accents. I agree, even a little live greenery goes a long way to filling in an otherwise ho-hum vignette.

These wooden candlesticks have been everywhere and they're so versatile, they go with most everything. Some decor books for height and a deer shed antler round it all out.

The candlesticks used to be antique white,

 but I gave them a quick once over with ASCP in a gray mix last Fall.

I've kept this Frenchy Garden Tray on the coffee table since I bought it several years ago. I keep a piece of burlap underneath, so it won't scratch the painted finish on the table. If you look closely you can see the bottom is made from some sort of rolled wire. Here's the original post and you can see it easier, HERE. It works for any season, and it's great for corralling all my "stuff".

I still have my leopard accent pillows and furry throw out,

 and that's another thing I need to do.

Problem is, I really like them here, furry or no.
