Good Ottoman!

The ottoman and extra large tray is good enough to eat, as a matter of fact, would be a delightful place to enjoy a book in front of the fireplace on a crisp morning, or in the evening after a meal, a glass of Cognac and a good cup of Columbian Supremo coffee, which could be an unforgetable experience. In better times, would refer you to Remy Cognac, but now, gonna go with Fundador Solera Reserve (about $15).

This formal parlor floats my boat.

The textures and the layering makes me get tickly all over. I just want to get in there with my cocktail and snicky snack and start discussing something important.

Lounge. Eat. Like?

As much as my husband and I dine in front of the telly, what would be wrong with raising the bar a little and putting a diminutive dining table in front of our sofa and 2 clubby chairs? Granted, we do not have an apartment sized Chesterfield, which I love by the way, nor do we have matching wicker club chairs. But all of this can be overcome with any two living room chairs. All ideas will be welcome.
