My Coffee Table Essentials!

-
Hey Guys x

I was recently contacted by a company called 'Chairish' who buy and sell vintage furniture.

They asked me if I'd like to write a post about some of my 'coffee table essentials' using one of their own coffee tables as inspiration, and of course I said yes because, not only is this type of post very 'me' anyway, but their tables are completely gorgeous!

I choose the 'Octagon Brass Coffee Table'  because it's so unique and completely beautiful! I don't live with any small children, so the idea of having a glass coffee table is really nice and the table itself is so sophisticated.



Below is how I'd style my table:



Let's start with the bottom left: Books! I'd stick with the book that you're currently reading, but you can always have multiple books! I couldn't have a coffee table without having at least one book, let alone a couple!

Next up, the scented candle! When it's not lit, it's going to make the table, and therefore the room, look so pretty! But when it's lit, the room will be filled with the best, most amazing smells imaginable!

Of course, the next thing would be a mug filled with your favourite hot beverage! Mine would be a nice hot chocolate, particularly in the winter months because that's the best time to drink it! But you can always have a mug of tea or coffee, anything that goes great with a good book!

At the top, we have a vase of flowers, essential to the decor of any living room! I'm not that big of a flower person, but you have to admit that they do make a great addition to any room, especially if they vase that you put them in is equally as gorgeous as the flowers themselves!

Last but not least, magazines! I'm that person in the doctor's waiting room who gets obsessed with the month old magazines that sit in the middle of the room. Having magazines is great when you have guests over because it gives them free reign to put their feet up and feel completely relaxed!

Thank you for reading!

Comment below what your coffee table essentials, and definitely check out 'Chairish', because they're furniture is completely amazing and I will be saving their website for future reference!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    I always have a hand lotion of some sort, I mean, I never use it but I do mean to! I really don't trust myself with candles, so I just have a lamp and I keep a troll doll for no reason other than decoration!

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
