[Guest Post] Nook & The Sea // Coffee Table Styling

I am so excited about today’s guest and this lovely post she put together! Kristina at Nook & Sea has one of the best designed blogs I’ve seen. She picks the prettiest images, and more often, creates her own projects and takes her own beautiful photos. Plus she’s a So Cal gal — you will love her clean, natural aesthetic!

Hello Small Shop readers! My name is Kristina from the Southern California decor and lifestyle blog, Nook & Sea. I am so honored to be guest posting today for the immensely talented Erika, and thought it would be fun to soak in some imagery of one of my favorite pieces – coffee tables – and specifically, how to create the most perfect and welcoming arrangement!

Oddly enough, one of the biggest things I struggle with in design is how to create appealing vignettes with my own accessories. I’m a huge fan of “use what you’ve got” when it comes to decorating, but sometimes you have to get a few key pieces here-and-there to make your styling come off just right. So to inspire some fabulousness and gather inspiring ideas of your own, here are some photos of stage-ready coffee table arrangements:
