Show us your coffee table……..the cushions gave us a bit of fun!

We bought ours to go in the middle of the room but then decided that we actually preferred ‘space’ rather than furniture there. We do pull it into place when we have visitors so they can put their cups of tea or glasses of wine on it though.

Have'nt got a photo, but mine is an old pine chest.

Mine is an oval G-Plan coffee table, glass top with teak surround circa 1968. The teak wood is desperately in need of a makeover, sanding then oiling or staining, and although on My To Do List, I'm still bracing myself to begin. Perhaps I need to watch the You Tube videos again but they always seem to over complicate the issue. DH is silent on the matter.

Dollshouse please tell MrDollshouse that his tanle is beautiful!

Chicklette... your rug is fabulous.

Here's mine. Not very exciting 😂

We don’t have a central one any more, just side tables. This was bought by my father sometime during WW2 when his RN ship stopped in India or Burma. After the DPs died nobody else wanted it.
The nut-shaped thing is a nutcracker, but not a very good one!
I don’t know why the carpet has come out grey - it’s actually a lightish green.

Brass top with a folding wooden support? Ours comes out at Christmas for the small tree. First time I’ve seen another one.

Thank you @NotSpaghetti. It’s actually an IKEA rug but we love it as the colours go with other things in our lounge.

Here's mine.

Needs a tidy up!

My lovely old coffee table in France is made of pear wood and bought for my grandmother in Berlin 1945 bb her second husband . It is veneered and when my sister finally let me have it after keeping it in a conservatory for years and the sun ruining the veneer we brought it here it is a sort of half moon shape . I think we may end up having the top properly repaired but have bought a repair kit to try that first .

Very heavy from Habitat many moons ago but we still like it

Oreo-😁

Sunglow12- Look on the new 'clean it,fix it' show(BBC1& iplayer) theres a few hints & tips to restore precious wooden furniture items.Theirs came up a beautiful treat! Can't remember the right episodes but watch them all, theyre only half hour shows.& very helpful.I am going to try them on my coffee table/tv stand, as my youngest son (about 15 then) got a mark on it a week after i bought it,that's never come off.He put one of those drink mugs on that you 'pre-cool' in the freezer, leaving a white mark🙄🤨

This has been interesting! I think at heart I am a bit of a snoop, and love to imagine peoples' spaces. I do admire the lovely fireplaces some of you have!

Also wanted to say the 50's and 60's tables have stood the test of time and still look great.

Not mine but look at this one.
I think it looks great here.

Love the sofa!

Yes, I do too!

Here's mine which is currently being used as a stand for my wedding anniversary flowers from DH on Monday. As I also omitted to put my cushions on the other thread I've included them in this pic too 😁

Oh lovely. Happy Anniversary for Monday 😊

Mine is all mirrors and glass - needs a lot of dusting but it’s worth it.

You didn’t say where you put your coffee cup!

I dont have a coffee table but series of well cluttered side tables.

My coffee table was inherited from my Dad. It was made by him back in the late 1940s. I can remember, as a little girl, watching him sitting carving the top. Wouldn't part with it.

That carving is beautiful. Your Dad was a talented man!
