Coffee Table Tuesdays with Jackie of York Avenue

Hi all! I just wanted to start off by saying thank you so much for everyone who stopped by my home tour on The Everygirl and left a little love. The response has been truly overwhelming and I am so grateful! If you missed it, you can catch up here!

It's Tuesday again, and I'm excited to welcome another blogger whose small studio apartment was featured on The Everygirl, Jackie of York Avenue! Jackie and I have been 'blog friends' for a long time, and I think it's soon time to plan a trip down to NYC to visit this girl for real. She has a wonderful blog and, of course, killer styling skills. Let's find out her tips for styling the perfect coffee table:

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

 I too, love Jackie's distorted candle stick, don't you? Be sure to check out Jackie's blog and instagram for more design inspiration and to live the life of an Upper East Sider vicariously through her!
Thanks so much for joining us today Jackie!

My Matchbox Display

My matchbooks from Waiting on Martha (that I posted about here) came awhile ago and I love them! The only problem was I didn't really know where or how to display them, and ended up hiding them in a drawer, which is a huge shame given how adorable they are! Then the other day I was thrifting at Value Village and a pretty pink depression glass bowl caught my eye from a distance. When I got close, I realized it was actually an ashtray and I thought 'what a clever, witty little holder for my matches this would be!'. At $3, this baby came home with me and is making me happy every day!

Halloween Throwback DIY: Gold Skull

I was at Michael's the other day grabbing some watercolour supplies and was happy to spot that this year they restocked the little cardboard skull that I used for my gold skull DIY last year.
This skully used to be a permanent figure on my coffee table, adding the perfect amount of edge to an otherwise pretty space. The zebra has since taken over, but I brought this guy back out for some Halloween fun!

 Pretty glamorous for a dead guy, right? Check out the full throwback DIY HERE. I promise it is quick, easy and inexpensive.

Do you guys go all out or minimal with your Halloween decor?
