If so what is on your coffee table?

We have a large square coffee table. We currently have nothing on it. Having a toddler in our house means nothing on coffee table except maybe a few toys. *LOL* I cover it with a cheap vinyl tablecloth during the day, so his toys don't scratch it up. :)

mine has all my lighthouse collectibles on it and occasionally a cat or two.

We have a living room and a den...no coffee table in either one, our den is our hangout room, got a sectional sofa that has a pull down table in one of the chairs, our living room is being furnished a piece of furniture at a time....we got the couch and love seat...probably get a coffee table when I go back to work...

We have a cherry, oval-shaped Queen Anne coffee table, but I took it out 'cause without out it the living room looks bigger. :D

right now on the coffe table we have

assorted mail for husband to take care of

bird seed bags (2)
bird food container (1)
bird feeding dishes (3)
a couple of magazines
a stack of coupons inserts destined for military overseas (expired)
an AM/FM radio
a couple of nail clippers
a towel
some bird medicine
and that is what I see from my computer chair
(Can you say CLUTTERED??))

We have a huge, oblong, oak and glass coffee table in the living room. It's great cause I can put some of my wooden box collection under it. I put the one I found "At the roadside mall" in front of the couch in the family room. Have left it empty because the girls like to play games on it.

No coffee table-room is too small, couch is too big.

Oh, forgot to add.

When the coffee table's in the living room, it's covered with library books, magazines, newspapers and breakfast cereal. :D

We don't anymore. When we had one, it was all scratched up and was a catch all for all the junk in the living room. The only thing I miss about it is that it had a drawer where I kept all the remotes and TV guides in. Other than that- good riddance!

We have a large, wood with glass triangles in the corners one. It's about 15 yrs. old, oak color stain. On it are a couple of decorative bird houses, some gardening books stacked, a candle, 2 small ceramic birds, and a small bush of greenery with berries on it. Under it there is a shelf and it's covered with neat piles of books. Did I forget to mention there's also a fair amount of dust on that table as well? ;)

I took out the coffe table about a 2 years ago..

With the triplets there just wasn't enough room for the table and all the toys and kids...
Someday I hope to have it back...

We have one, but it's formal, and our living room isn't, so for now it's in storage. I got tired of tripping over it anyway, and you are right--it was just another vertical surface to pile junk on :)

Chelle

We haven't had a coffee table for 7 years. I refused to have one when our ds was born in '95. I could just see him falling into it and cracking his head open. :( Plus I couldn't walk around the darn thing w/out giving myself a bruise.:D LOL!! I agree with some of the others, it becomes a catch all for clutter. I haven't missed it one bit and my shins are thankful. :)

We have both a family room and a living room and neither has a coffee table. I would love to have one sort of like my neighbor has........... it's a big square that the top lifts up like a trunk and it has tons of storage space. We do our homeschool lessons in the family room so a coffee table like that would be great to store all of our materials in.

We have a huge one, (I swear this thing is as big as a kitchen table only shorter to the ground):)

On it we have some books with a plant on top of them, some old wooden spools, a candle and some coasters. That is usualy where you will find the remore also.

We have one in the living room and the family room. They both are piled with books. The family room one has all the darned remotes on it. The living room one also has a bunch of the kids' school papers as well as some Legos. I also have a silk flower arrangement on the living room one. Geeze--I need to clean it!

We have a rectangle shaped oak coffee table.I only keep a basket that holds some Taste Of Home and Country Woman Magazines.With 2 small children (ages 3 and 1) I can't have much of anything there that I want to keep lol
And most of the day it has dry cereal on it LOL!!! :)

No not at this time I do however have an idea of what kind of coffee table I would use in our Home!!
I would like to use a small old trunk for our Coffee Table!!
We don't even have a couch or love seat or sofa to sit on at this time !!
