I recently bought a coffee table at a yard sale. i dont know how to decorate it?!?
Question:The coffee table has a square hunter green base with drawers and the top draw has a glass top so whatever you put in can be seen from the top of the table. I want to find a really craetive idea to decorate this space. it is probably 5'' deep so it cant be anything to tall. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Answers:
What do you collect?
1] Make a collage of family photos
2] seashells with sand, some beach grasses and beach glass
3] make a diorama - do a summer one with sand glued to a large piece if background paper, shiny blue foil 'ocean', scraps of terry for beach towels, cocktail umbrellas for beach shade, and little plastic people with large button 'frisbees'[ then make a back -to school, Christmas, etc. ]
Check out the dollar store and the party store
Some fake ivy would look nice. Or maybe filled with colored stones and rocks? Even a bunch of magazines that you like stacked up would look nice.
I'd be tempted to fill that drawer with a nice smelling potpourri with some colorful buttons and bows and leave the drawer open a crack to let the aroma fill your room. If you do try this and expect to add some essential oil to the mix every so often to freshen the smell, Please line the draw with foil or plastic to ensure the wood doesn't get saturated.
Buy one of those bottles with oil fragrance which has the bamboo sticks in it, then your room will be fragrant all the time.
