apartment / coffee tables

I've been in serious nesting mode and have a laundry list of things to do in the apartment. Currently our coffee table is a vintage trunk we love that we found at Pioneer Goods, but it's feeling a little heavy for the living room and I can see it re-purposed in our bedroom. So...I've been on the hunt for something a little airier, preferably with a bottom shelf.

I love the bottom West Elm one, but pricing might win out in favor of the Ikea find. Any favorites I'm missing?

read / coffee table books

Since I was a little girl, I've always loved big coffee table books. Whether it was looking through my mom's big Native Americans book or my dad's copy of A Day in the Life of America or repeatedly going to the library to check out Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years, I've always wanted to grow my own collection. 

One of the goals on my 101 in 1001 list is to add 10 new coffee table books to my collection. I recently added Kate Spade New York's Places to Go, People to See and have four more to add. I have my eye on these pretties:

Dinner Parties

Elements of Style by Erin Gates

The Things That Matter by Nate Berkus (one of my favorite designers)

In Color by Tory Burch

What are your favorite "big books" to display?

three little spaces

Hello! I apologize for the belated post today. Per my 101 in 1001 list, I am starting a new blog series called Three Little Spaces. I’m forever pinning or liking pretty gardens, cozy living areas, and dreamy bedroom and thought it would be fun to share all the little places I love. Wouldn’t it be nice to blink and be teleported to one of these?
