I have a coffetable in my family room. No coffee table in my livingroom.

The familyroom coffe table has a box tissues, coasters, a pen or 2 and a few books on it. I also have a candle centerpiece on it for Christmas.

I have nothing on my coffee table, since I don't have one. LOL I have not found a coffee table that I love and that will fit with my furniture.

Ours has a mini tapestry rug tha hubby brought home with him from Afghanistan. On it sits a wooden bowl that my dad turned and made. There is a wooden set of beads made into a necklace that came from sumalia(sp?africa)a friend served over there. I also have som old sewing items in a wooden box.....sock darners and needle cases.

hugs debbie

We don't have a coffee table but we have 2 large ottomans that we use to hold "stuff". On my dh's, there's only the tv remotes but on mine...that's another story. lol! There's library books, a cookbook, my shopping list. My dh calls it a "catch all".
