Room of the Week

How lovely is this living space in the home of Interior Designer and Blogger Erin Gates?

That coffee table is to die for. 

I'm no stranger to hearing all about the "trunk as a coffee table" option 

{I hear it almost daily}

 but I never thought of it in a crisp, beautiful white.

 

That blue, custom made, velvet sofa is gorgeous and compliments the 

two French Provincial chairs so beautifully.

You can see more of Erin's beautiful Boston home here on The Everygirl.

Great coffee table...

How gorgeous is this trunk coffee table...

Coffee table thoughts

I've mentioned before that I want an ottoman as my coffee table. I thought I'd put a collection of rooms with ottomans as coffee tables to see if I'm still feeling it.

I currently have 2 Ikea Lack side tables as my coffee table, I only bought these ($20 each!) as a temporary fit until I found out exactly what it was I decide to put there.

Ottomans as coffee tables can add a softer feel to the space and I can put my feet up which I love to do. Plus it can act as extra seating if need be. It is also a great way to add some colour and texture to a space.
