certain things my tips and tricks so again I'll make sure to link it here in the cards but today's video we are going to be doing part two I'm showcasing a new coffee table that I recently just got that is living in this Loft space and I'm going to be showing you guys how I style this new piece of furniture everything in today's video will be linked down below if I can link it without further Ado let's get into today's welcome to my upstairs Loft the biggest change here is I changed out my coffee table now this was absolutely nothing that I had to do we originally had the Restoration Hardware reclaimed Oak plinth coffee table in the light oak version and then I got a phone call from my old assistant manager at RH saying that this amazing coffee table that has been on my wish list for a very long time had come into the outlet was it something I needed to do no I actually took a poll on my Instagram like is this something I should buy and everybody's like you will regret not getting it so I ended up switching it out I was able to basically turn the other coffee table around put that money towards this one and it was a complete wash so now I have a coffee table that I absolutely love and admire this is the same line as my beam console table that is now in my entryway I brought this upstairs that way it wasn't super matchy matchy having the entire collection downstairs so that's why this is up here so this is the English beam coffee table in a 60x60 so this thing is massive it weighs 400 lb it took two guys about an hour to get it up our stairs which was I felt so bad but they were able to get it up here so I wanted to just show you guys uh this area and I'm planning on getting some new accent chairs to kind of finish this area out and uh yeah let's get to styling I'm going to show you guys what I'm going to do for styling this coffee table it is obviously a very large scale piece so we're going to do a very maximalist style which I know is not for everybody but I enjoy having something with this size have a lot of decor and showcase some of my favorite items so let's get all right we're going to be starting with two different coffee table books I have Robert Stellan and Tom Ford and I'm going to be styling them in this direction up on the top left corner and I'm also using these as a way to help me space out the decor even next we're going to be placing two of my vintage Fab fabric stamps I picked one of these up at an antique shop and I picked another one up at the great junk hunt here in San Diego I love styling with these for a variety of different reasons they make the best table topper for coffee table books and I love how each one of these is so very different and they just add that kind of rustic and natural element next I'm bringing in this triple XL candle with a really beautiful brass container look at how many Wicks are on this thing it's massive but we are playing with shape so obviously we have the book BS next to it so I'm going to be bringing in a different shape as well as different tones to make it feel a little bit more interesting all right the next items that we're going to be placing right next to this oversized candle are some candle holders now I picked these really fun Acacia black candle holders from the lifestyle Co by a yearo and I just love them for their shape they add a lot of visual interest and so we're just going to place these right next this next item isn't per se a Decor piece but I definitely think it is essential for a table like this this is raw wood so if you were to place a cup on this and let it sweat you are definitely going to have ring marks this is definitely more of a high maintenance material just because it doesn't have any sealer so I'm going to be just adding some of my coasters that I purchased from HomeGoods I'm just going to place it right in front of those candle working our way down to this portion we are going to be bringing in a piece of greenery so this is a vintage Clay Pot that I got from a boutique here and then I just have a variety of different ingredients from a boutique and these beautiful anmy flowers these are from a floral you guys can see I actually have one on my arm there I love these and so we're just going to be placing that right next to those coffee table books all right the next Decor we're going to be bringing we are going to be doing two coffee table books that's going to take up all of the square footage since the decor that is above it is a little bit on the busier side we're going to start to simplify just a hair in the middle so I'm bringing in two books I have the Louis Vuitton book this does not have its cover on that's why you get this really beautiful kind of chocolate Brown Linen and then this is Annie Liber wit's Photography book she's a famous photographer I snagged this from an antique shop while I was um in San Diego so I'm going to just open these books up to two random pages and just going to have these placed open like this layered on top of each other I love doing this again because it takes up square footage it's simplifies but you can also have a lot of fun by turning to specific pages to have it be incorporated in your overall look feel and design of your coffee table Decor second piece of Decor if I'm doing something like this where I have the two coffee table books styled like this I love to have something on top as a kind of a finisher of the decor so I am bringing in this really awesome vintage handcarved spoon it is long in length and I just thought this would be really fun as a way to just kind of top it there on my coffee table books almost as if it's a bookmark I've also done this with selenite sticks or you can do beet Garland or even really fun marble chains as kind of a coffee book topper so we're just going to place that here all right the next piece we're bringing in is this triple XL quartz crystal I somehow seem to find this at a HomeGoods I have no idea how I was able to snag something of this size you can see how big it is compared to my hand but it's one of my favorite quartzes to style just because it has a really flat surface and appearance so it work works out for stuff like this if you are one that loves natural elements like me if you love quartz crystals anything that has to do with kind of raw elements these make really great coffee table Decor pieces as well it's just visually interesting and something just a little bit different moving on to the second to last Decor element that's going to be just placed right directly in front of us I am bringing in two vintage marble bowls that I actually grabbed from Round Top Texas when I went to the Antique shop and some of you guys might be wondering why I have in it if you've been with me you know that I love to do this trick as a way to elevate two bowls staffed on top of one another this just allows this top B to be more elevated and so you see more of it is a wonderful trick for those of you who enjoy styling like this so that's the next item all right the last piece of Decor we're going to be adding is another coffee table book to this last section we are bringing in Peter Lindberg now there are a few things that I want you to take away with this coffee table style which again I know it's not not going to be for everybody but I have multiple coffee table books and I have them each in three different orientations we have this one which will be closed and at a horizontal we then have the two open books that are horizontal but just in a different orientation and then we have the Stacked vertical there at that top left hand corner so if you're going to be pairing coffee table books or multiple coffee table books make sure you are mixing up how you have them styled whether that's horizontal vertical standing upright with bookends it really does play a huge role in your overall style one of the last Decor elements that's going to go on top of this coffee table book is this really beautiful Onyx bowl that I've spoken about on my channel this is from a company a small business called zardan home this is 100% made out of Onyx and I just enjoy styling with this because it adds so much visual interest so we're just going to place that right on top and the very last Decor element that we're going to be adding to this bowl which is not necessary but I just wanted to add a hair bit more visual interest and material I'm adding three of these frosted spheres that I purchased from Wayfair inside that bowl in three different [Music] [Applause] [Music] sizes yeah [Music] [Music] n [Music] all right guys and that is it for today's video I hope you enjoyed part two of my home updates and styling again hopefully you get some
