Seriously, how can it be only Tuesday? For some reason summer is always one of the slowest times at work. I think it has something to do with everyone taking vacations and trying to maximize the time spent away from the office during warmer months. I can tell that fall is near because work is really starting to pick up. To top of a busy work week I have a few fun things planned for the week like an art class. I am also finally getting a hair cut. I have needed one for a month but it is so hard to find the time to schedule it. My long hair has been unruly lately and I am thinking about getting something shorter like this.

I spend a lot of time in my living room in the evenings after work or when I have guest. Recently I have been thinking that the coffee table which is basically the center of the room is a little sad looking. My coffee table is a large circular table that I love but it is usually aside from a stack of book (this one being a current favorite) is rather bare.

I've decided that giving my coffee table a makeover will be a fun project to tackle this fall. I spent some time early Sunday morning browsing online for some ideas and my favorite are pictured above. I am obviously drawn to feminine pieces with a lot of pinks and golds. Even the natural elements I love are largely glamorous.

Do you have any helpful tips for styling a coffee table that I should know?
