Coffee Table Tales

#NewYearNewBooks Day26 #CoffeTableBk

Love to look/read books about country/rustic cottage home decoration. Is my decoration like that?🤔🙄Nope, but I wish😂Love those country (French/English) small cottages. Also like coffee table books about art, favorite: surrealism and Impressionism. Books about gardens even though plants have zero chance to survive with me😳 I try to find those books on sale or secondhand. They are pretty expensive.

mabell I do too! I‘m trying to figure little changes that could make my house more cottage-y 😊 3mo

Gissy @mabell I try but I‘m so bad in visualizing spaces and put everything together. I have a friend that is so good in that and she already gave me some ideas. She doesn‘t like that style but can see what I like. Other persons around me say that I have outdated (old lady they say😳) tastes. I don‘t care😌

Me, in a tropical country, liking French/English cottages 🙄🤷🏽‍♀️☺️ 3mo

Gissy @tpixie A gift from a friend from one of her travels. 3mo

Eggs Love this🩷🩷 3mo

mabell @Gissy I‘m not good at visualizing, either! I need to look at inspiration ideas and figure out how to translate them to my house. Great to have a friend‘s help! Old lady is in style 😜 3mo

Gissy @mabell I have a little garden that I will love to transform as much as possible, to look like those I see in my books. As you say, I need to adapt it because the plants I would use most resist this hot weather. I think this decoration taste we have goes perfectly with the books we read. I haven‘t read a book you sent me that I think will be perfect to this spring: Falling in Love with the English Country Side: A Fine Romance👌 3mo

mabell @Gissy Your comments made me think of that book too! I wondered what you thought of it, if you had read it yet. I hope you enjoy it! And I‘d love to hear updates on your garden! (edited) 3mo

Is anyone else's family being hit by allll the crud going around??? Half my family has a nasty cold, half has the stomach bug, and poor LO has BOTH. I'm trying to avoid it all... @MaleficentBookDragon my #CoffeeBeanBookClub package came today and I LOVE IT. Sadly, I didn't get to take a picture before having to get LO out of her crib and now snuggling... that mug is gorgeous though. It's going to be strictly decorative!

@Mommamanzi

There is an embarrassingly large stack of #magazinesjournalsnewspapers on my coffee table. I try to read and discard before it gets so large that the cats start knocking it over...because my cats are jerks...but also I'm a bit of a paper hoarder. #riotgrams
