Preparing for my coffee table (of dreams)

Interiors & Lifestyle

3 Feb

I don’t at present have a coffee table .. I do however have a footstool (which is definitely not for feet) and is often found with flowers and coffee table books perched on the end .. please don’t feel too sad for me not having an actual coffee table because I will hopefully soon have one.  You see Mr W is in the process of making me my said coffee table ..  he mentioned just before Christmas that he would like to learn joinery by hand and also with a machine .. I  am truly lost here .. but the upshot is after him receiving books / B&Q vouchers / anything joinery related at Christmas, I requested (begged/badgered/nagged) him to make me a coffee table .. not just any old randomly put together table .. oh no .. I have specific requirements .. draws & the occasional fake drawer for that aesthetic look, so you see all will be well, but for now footstool & stools will do.

Obviously when this coffee table (of my dreams) is made, sanded & possibly painted (undecided as yet .. think i’ll need to see it first) I will need my coffee table books to go with it .. so in readiness for the grand unveil I’ve started collecting them.

Now a coffee table book for me (and you may disagree … we all have different tastes) needs to generally be hardback, I love anything about lifestyle, travel, style & beauty  .. I have a put together a small selection of books that would look good on a coffee table / footstool (that doesn’t allow feet) and bookcase .. some of them are already in my “online shopping basket” …

 

 

 

I think you’ll agree that once Mr W has made my coffee table (of dreams) its going to look amazing with some of these and other books on it .. oh and obviously flowers .. always flowers .. and did i mention candles ..?  But that’s possibly another blog post!

AD • I was questioned yesterday (not by the poli AD • I was questioned yesterday (not by the police before you start worrying 😦) but by Mr W (it was like being in Line of Duty 😜) .. “did I buy these (*gorgeous) blooms so I could photograph them in this bag?” .. *he didn’t say “gorgeous” that was added by me ... of course I explained the answer isn’t simple a yes or no .... I wanted flowers for my lovely @tillyanna bag this is true .. but I also love blooms in our home 🌸  basically it’s what you call a win win situ .. he rolled his eyes muttered something and wandered off 🤣 .... I didn’t then like to tell the bread I’d baked early was done purely for a insta shot (thankfully my teens are gannets & ate the evidence 😁😏)

Personalise Jute @tillyanna .. they have a whole gorgeous range of bags .. super handy for carrying flowers in 😉🌸

AD – although I love my home being hectic & comp AD – although I love my home being hectic & completely full on 99.9% of the time, there are those moments I like to steal away and just have those five minutes of calm .. from a bath to having a quiet read in my bedroom with candles lit & a hot coffee .. of course it still gets disturbed with a "mum where's my ….." … and the usual response of either a) "where you left it… " or b) "well if you kept your bedroom tidy & put things away then you'd be able to find it ….. wouldn't you" .. even with teens life is still 100mph .. thankfully Wellwoman Original helps to support energy levels and overall wellbeing. It contains 24 nutrients such as B6, B12 and Iron which contribute to normal energy release which helps me to keep up with the not so little darlings ❤️ #ad, #IAmWellwoman, #Wellwoman, #Vitabiotics @Vitabiotics
