As Brad & I have decided that the time is right to look for
another place of our own, we are currently buying bargain furniture and
household items. I call this pre-nesting.
We already have found a nice little flat, that we have applied for. The rental agent told us that she is certain it will be ours, but is having trouble getting hold of our ex-landlord for a reference. No surprises there, he was quite hard to get hold of when we were his tenants. But he is a nice, good man, so hopefully we will get some news soon. I really hope so as Brad & I have been collecting cheap pieces over the last week, and have already decided where we want to put things in "our" new place, even down to the art.
So a long, long time ago (I can still remember..) one of my posts briefly mentioned my awesome coffee table. We bought it via Trademe, and it has a deep wooden frame, with a glass top, so it can be filled with something...anything!
At the time of that post it had sand and sea shells inside. See...
When we got it, it was filled with Jellybeans. Fo-rizzle. I am over the sand & shell combo, and I loved the Jellybeans, but I don't know if it will go with our new place. So now we have a dilemma. What do we put in our table now?
I though of Paua Shells, but they would be to large for the depth of the table.
Then we thought Paua Laminate. Then we remembered we're not Millionaires.
We could put the beans back in?
My sister suggested a few things...
Glitter - I told her that would be cool, but
a) Brad probably wouldn't go for it and
b) It might be annoyingly glare-ish whilst watching T.V.
She said, "Brad wont care and just tell people you scooped up Edward and put him in there to shine for all of eternity."
Her next suggestion was, "Fill it with water and put Goldfish in there!" I reminded her of Disco Stu, from The Simpsons. Remember what happened to his Fish?
So what to do, what to do...
What do you think? I need your help!
What should we put in our coffee table?... at AnswerGarden.ch.
Try Paua World in Carterton they have paua bits that you could put in the cavity. Or maybe you could use a scrapbook sheets with a paua pattern Warehouse Stationary has them on try on line. Maybe another idea is old photo's to do with your family Good luck!
