Now with the pretty new rug, of course I want to move on to other updates, our coffee table. Our current table is from rooms to go and is about 5 years old. It has honestly held up GREAT. Now, 5 years later and with 2 boys who have played with cars, nerf guns and legos on it , it has seen better days. So I am now on the hunt for a good durable coffee table. Polished stained wood seems out to me because in our house that will last for about 2 minutes. I have found several possible options:
A girlfriend of mine has this one from World Market and I think it would hold up well. Plus the top comes off and you can store stuff inside! Double win in my book...
I LOVE this one from West Elm, however marble can be fragile and can stain so i'm not too sure how it would hold up.
This one would I think blend Matt and my style together nicely. He isn't a huge fan of super modern so this one would give a "warmer" feel and I think the rustic feel of the wood would hide dents.
Also, side note... how do people with small children keep things on their coffee table?! In my search for a kid friendly table I have come across articles on how to style your coffee table. Don't get me wrong the styled tables are beautiful but how do you keep the kids away from the stuff? I can tell you in my house that if we had a coffee table like this , it would last maybe an hour before something was torn or broken.
A girl can dream right right ?
Maybe this is just a mom of 2 boys thing??
