Loving Lucite

Yesterday, I told you about my search for a new coffee table.  While I do love the glass and metal, I'm also loving lucite and solid glass.  Here are a few of my favorite images~

Again, these images all show a great mix of modern and tradition--the look of collecting a room overtime.  I think that's everyone's goal--to have a stylish room that looks like you casually threw it together. 

So, what do you think of the lucite?  Do you love it?  Or do you think it's too trendy?

A month or two ago, I sold my old coffee table on Craigslist.  It's pictured here~

I bought the coffee table before I started re-doing our living room.  With the evolution of the room and the the patterns we brought in, I felt like the room was just a little too heavy.  I'm not a huge fan of our leather couch although it's super comfy,  but with three dogs we really had no choice.  It makes the room heavy, and the coffee table wasn't helping lighten the load.  Basically, it just wasn't right for the room.  So, like the fate of many other past purchases, onto Craigslist it went.  Thankfully, I was patient and got close to what I paid for it on Craigslist. 

Unfortunately, I've had a tough time finding a replacement table.  It's a large room, so a lot of tables would be dwarfed in the space.  I seem to be gravitating to glass and metal tables.  Here are pictures of a few rooms that include them.  Most of these room mix modern and tradition, which I really like.

What do you think?  Do you like a more traditional wood table or do you like a more modern touch? 

Just Dreaming

It's been a crazy week at work.  Sorry for the lack of posts.  Today, I'm just wishing I were here...
