Current Coffeetable Styling

I’m often asked about the styling behind my vignettes. So this week I’m sharing the components of my coffeetable decor. The top of the table speaks to summer with books about art and flowers. It also ties into last weeks post. Start Of Summer 2024.

Only having a few books encourages others and myself to leaf through them. I do worry at times that book stacks can give the wrong message - which is don’t touch.

Here are links to the books and decor if you’d like to recreate this look.

From the bottom: Winslow Homer: His Art, His Light, His Landscapes next is: Water Views: Rivers Lakes Oceans the top book is all about my favorite anytime flower Hydrangeas: Beautiful Varieties for Home and Garden. The small dish was a gift - here’s a lovely dish by Spode. I’ve owned my lantern for years - here’s a set of lanterns that feel similar. Inside is my delightful Charles Farris candle.

The Stack on the bottom shelf pertain to Manhattan and it doesn’t change; although I did add two new volumes earlier this year. I love the impact of a theme. Here are the titles: New York Civic Sculpture, Murals of New York City, Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City, New York, New York: An Illustrated History, Great Houses of New York, 1880-1940: v. 2 and Metropolitan Seminars in Art, Portfolio 6: Composition as Structure all topped by a terrific Tic Tac Toe Game.

I hope you’ve been inspired or found a title or two to add to your stacks. Til next time be well and I’ll see you over on Instagram!
