We have been gradually chipping away, budget and time allowing, on redoing our living room:Finally painting the walls! Now I want to buy a few items and for some reason, I am having a hard time choosing a coffee table. My husband does not understand why we need a new table. I tried to explain, now that the perfect paint color is going on the walls, we must also put the rest of the design plans in place! And that includes a new coffee table babe.Yes, I know we already have this table, but I do not want to use a heavy, traditional table:Nor this round table because it is reading too shabby chic in the room:I am looking for something unique. If I were a client, I would suggest buying a glass table because of the windows and lightness in the room.:

But I have been through so many of my trade resources and I am not finding anything I love, (for what I would like to pay that is).I do seem to be drawn to this simple table:

I like that it is open and visually does not take up a lot of room. Plus I like the idea of bringing in a bit of outdoor texture, (wood top).I do like the mid- century look and have been wanting to bring a piece in the room:

My husband just told me no way on the two tables above. “Ugly” was the word he used. He has no taste sometimes. hahaAs I was researching and writing this post, I found this table:

I really, really like it. It received a five star, (out of five) rating from 641 reviews. The best part? It retails for $177.67.  I think this may be THE table! A great combination of retro-classy and contemporary.UPDATE:Found this table, which is very similar to the simple table a few photos above:

I am getting this one. A little more expensive but I love it.Well this ended up being a very helpful post for me!  I hope this was helpful for you also. Another project down. We just have to finish painting and I have to keep waiting for my backordered chairs. Trying to be patient! Have a great weekend everyone!
