Tablescapes?

For the last month, I have had to keep my coffee table empty. My 9 month old daughter has been pulling her self up and walking around the table...as well as pulling off everything that is on it.

It really has made me question all of my tabletops in my house. Styling a coffee table, side table, kitchen table, dresser, etc...can be pretty pretty tricky. If you add to much, it will appear cluttered; but if you do not have enough, it looks unfinished. One of my go to's for any tabletop is flowers. They always seem to complete a look. Other than that, I normally try to stick to the rule of three, for example:

(1) Tray with flowers

(2) Stack of books  

(3) Other Accessories (insert Buddha head, large candle, sculpture, etc).

(1) Large Candle Pillar

(2) Stack of books with flowers on top

The possibilities are endless....and normally the rule of three transcends to any tablescape. For large spaces, you can duplicate it or group it; for smaller tables you can have one tray with a few tiny objects. Here are some of my favorite, simple tablescapes...
