What's On Your Coffee Table?

[Dapper Dan]

A humidor and all the trimmings, a copy of "Dressing the Man," a John Cleese-autographed copy of the Monty Python Encyclopedia, and the Black Lizard Big Book of Pulps.

 

[Sweet_Lorraine]

A cute little 2 year old boy who loves to climb. It's also become a racetrack for his 458 cars.

My laptop.

A copy of 100 Years of Solitude and Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Inferno.

A glass of sweet tea.

A cat, trying to knock over the glass of sweet tea.

A spray bottle I will be using in 3 seconds on the cat.

 

[Mojito]

Framed photos
A Chinese deity in bronze
Beauty in Exile, which I like to dip in and out of, reading chapters/essays.

Ooh, where'd you get that? A story there?

I don't have a coffee table per se, but a large, round red leather ottoman used as a coffee table. Right now it is barely visible under vintage sewing patterns, 2 tissue boxes, a cup of tea and a coaster, the documents I saved (but did not organize) for my taxes for this year and several magazines.

glass of water, some bills and junk mail I've been avoiding, multivitamins and a 8x loupe next to my reading glasses so I can actually read the fine &$%^ing print on DVD and CD labels.....I miss 12" LP jackets.....and having 20/20 vision!

 

[KilroyCD]

My coffee table has on it: one carnival glass ashtray, three framed photos, a VE Day newspaper (reprint) and a wartime "Make Do and Mend" booklet.

Weird thread. [huh]

Me too. I have a spool of funny thread on my coffee table now as well. Plus a thimble and a needle.

But seriously, I think Richard Locktown is COLLECTING INFO on us for the CIA

Whats the Culinary Institute of America got to do with coffee tables? Maybe coffee ice cream...but tables... nah....

 

[Mike in Seattle]

Coffee table book on Craftsman-style homes
Coffee table book on Stickley furniture
A mini-book on wine
A book on history of music in Washington state
Binder with printout from my DVD cataloging program of what we have
Ring of candles
Classic Style and American Bungalow magazine casually tossed

And now I, too, am wondering if the Culinary Institute is using this data for some nefarious purpose...if I turn on the Food Network or flip through Bon Appetite sometime in the future and see some sort of cake or hors d'oeuvre arrangement that looks like a table with a Stickley book recreates with frosting or humus & smoked salmon dip, I guess we'll know...

Hmmm...

Three stacks of CD's that I'm currently uploading into my iPod.
Two movie tickets.
Coffee cup from this afternoon.
Couple of folded dishtowels that I have to put away.
Spray bottle I use on the cats.
Bottle of vicodin...that I no longer need....erm
Glass of cranberry juice.
Spiral notebook.
A hand mirror.
Make up bag.
My keys.
My feet.

 

[Diamondback]

Coffee table? What's that?

Ohhhh... *lightbulb comes on*

Must be that wooden thing in the middle of one of the piles of books, the one that keeps jumping out and biting my shin... lol

 

[Spitfire]

(edit) And Sophia Loren's cookbook: Memoirs and recipes.

Yep. We're compiling a list of coffee table terrorists. Anyone with more than 3 ounces of liquid on said tables is in serious trouble. And shoes ... don't forget to take off your shoes.

[Miss 1929]

Broken piece of coffee table, trying to figure out how to fix it
Box of crap from my Room of Shame, which said contents of are all over the house (I should be cleaning, but here I am in the Lounge). But there is some cool stuff in it, notably an occupied Japan statuette of a geisha getting a tattoo on her back from what looks like a sadistic guy...
Cracker crumbs, glass rings, etc (I really should be cleaning...)

 

[Smithy]

Sitting on the coffee table currently...

Pot of tea
Cups and saucers
Milk jug
A couple of candles
The telly remote
Copy of "Flypast" magazine
Dodgy Norwegian gossip mag, "Se og h??r"
Bowl of scorched almonds

In other words it's a cluttered shambles!
