We’re switching it up a bit with the latest installment of In Da House — the series where I collected photos to inspire our next home. Instead of focusing on a room, we’re focusing on decorating one element: the coffee table! I started keeping track of favorite styling, which is something that I want to challenge myself with. While I can solve for furniture layouts and other spacial challenges, the accessories don’t have as much function and therefore I get antsy. It’s like when I plan my outfit the night before and run out of the house forget jewelry — I cover the necessities but overlook the pretty details. No more, I’m taking notes!

So what am I loving from today’s coffee table styling collection?
