Tuft Decision

You guys know that I was on the coffee table hunt for awhile. And although I was originally going to go with the round woven coffee table from Pottery Barn I decided not to.

Because all I could imagine was dirty feet on it and having no way to clean it. Luckily I had thought of this as it was sitting in my checkout basket. Especially after I looked at the care instructions:

Wicker & Woven Furniture Care & Cleaning Instructions
For daily care, simply wipe clean using a soft, dry cloth. To protect the finish, avoid the use of abrasive chemicals, harsh cleaners and rough cleaning pads and polishes. To remove lodged debris, we recommend using a vacuum with a brush attachment.

Ha! Dry cloth...PB doesn't know my husband or my dog.

So the hunt continued - until I came across Megan's blog. Not only is her daughter Olivia the sweetest but I love her style. And as soon as I saw Olivia's little hands on the very corner of what appeared to be a tufted ottoman I got overly giddy and inquired as to where I can get my much larger hands on such an item.

So Megan was kind enough to link me and I went ahead and ordered it. It arrived in five days (+ free shipping) and we love it. 
Although slightly annoying that it has dropped in price a smidgen and they only do price adjustments seven days out...I digress.

So after it arrived I did some furniture rearranging at home and went out and bought a cute ottoman tray with a gift card to Williams-Sonoma I had leftover from our wedding.

Which should be noted that you can use a Williams-Sonoma card at Pottery Barn and West Elm. Had I known it never would have lasted that long!

I also wanted to put some books on it for a display. (Even though my sweet husband thought it was a tray for putting food on - oh my!) I think I am going to make a small book for it with photos of Finn too :) It also should be noted that I used two applications of Scotchguard to ensure maximum protection.

A candle and some flowers completed the look!

He wasn't too sure how to feel about it - until he learned how to jump on it.

Thanks for all the sweet comments from yesterday!
