Trend Watch: Doubling Up

As you know I try to be a source of design advice, and a trend I can’t help but notice is using multiple end tables as a coffee table instead of one big one. Me likey. I have this vision for the perfectly proportioned coffee table to my living room, and since the room is so ginormous, an incorrectly sized coffee table could really throw the room off. However, since I’m still scouring Craigslist for a coffee table to refinish these are only pipe dreams, unless I find a table that would work in a grouping.

Are you feeling the multiple coffee table look? I’m especially partial to the rustic/industrial table pairing, even though that completely wouldn’t match. I guess I’ve just always had a special place in my heart for the industrial look.
