Bistro Table

Look at your coffee table. Is it dead? Is it boring and lifeless? If so you need to bring it back to life. You need to add some accessories to your table that will make it jump up and be noticed. After all, your coffee table is the CENTER of the room. It’s what people see when they first walk in and it’s what they see the most of while they are visiting.BooksAdd some books to your coffee table as a conversation starter. You can find all kinds of interesting and unique books that people can look at and that you can discuss. Try finding a picture book that deals with the area you live in. Or try to find seasonal picture books (and put out the book that corresponds to the current season). Photo albums are always good and can supply quite a bit of time for conversation. CandlesCandles are a great accessory to add to your coffee table. Scented candles are the best. If you have children then cookie or cake scented candles always go over well. Also try to put out candles that correspond with either the season or the holiday you are in (or both). MagazinesPut out interesting magazines to give people something to look at during down time. Try not to put out magazines that deal with movie stars or gossip (those magazines can be fun but they shouldn’t be put out for guests to read). Architectural magazines are always a beautiful read. Or you can look for the magazine from your state as there are quite a few state centric magazines out there.
