Coffee Tables<\/strong> Can Do More Than Hold A Tray<\/p>\n

I remember my dad didn\u2019t like coffee tables<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>. They were, in his words \u201ccatch alls\u201d. By this he mean that everybody would leave things on them and they\u2019d literally \u201ccatch all\u201d of the junk people did not bother to put away. Fortunately, my mom prevailed and while it did get cluttered, we were able to find the surface now and again to hold a tray of drinks or a bowl of popcorn. The coffee table of today might have gotten Dad\u2019s seal of approval. It seems they can do a lot more than catch junk and hold a tray.<\/p>\n

\"Lift<\/p>\n

My neighbor has an ottoman that serves as a coffee table, and yes, it was made for that purpose. So, she can prop her feet on it, or use it for table and it looks great. My own coffee table has a couple of neat little drawers under the surface so I can hide away things like the TV remote and an other \u201cclutter\u201d that threatens to be \u201ccaught\u201d on the table\u2019s surface. Other types are inlaid with great designs or you can get a glass-topped table that not only discourages clutter on the top, but under the table, too!<\/p>\n

Coffee tables don\u2019t seem to be as much of a household necessity in this modern age. We don\u2019t all gather around in the living room to watch television and eat popcorn together like we once did. Still, we all have occasions when we have guests or family in our living room and want to serve up a tray of drinks or snacks. You might even elect to use your coffee table for serving, believe it or not, coffee!<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re decorating your first home or redecorating, don\u2019t leave out the coffee table. With today\u2019s styles, there\u2019s little danger of catching too much clutter, but it might snag a few compliments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
