I like the first and third grouping best, but what about a different one? You need your remotes close, so keep those, maybe the blue lantern in middle, and of course you need your coasters, maybe the 3 large books with the candle goblets on top, and the greenish bird? Your table seems bigger than the design picture, I think you could get by with more elements. Just my opinion, you can do what you want. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248888041239177828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-88194951500382390712012-01-18T06:57:34.961-06:002012-01-18T06:57:34.961-06:00I love all your versions Ricki, they look very coz...I love all your versions Ricki, they look very cozy.
