Stumped for a coffee table....

So I came up with this arrangement.....

I was using these two end tables as a coffee table PRIOR to putting up the Christmas tree (the pic below isn't the greatest....BUT all I had and it was from Thanksgiving day)
Once I put the tree up, I somehow ran outta space (maybe that's because the tree is smack dab in the middle of the big picture window) and the "coffee table" was too much...it was too crowded. So we put them downstairs for the holidays BUT I missed a coffee table. And I have this FAB silver tree stump that was hiding away in the corner (because it lost its home under the window) so I moved the stump to the center....but it was lost and floating....I need at least 2 more stumps BUT I don't think that's gonna happen...So I had to come up with something else....

I added a lil round table (maybe a plant stand) but the two still didn't look quite right....so I added a vintage leather ottoman.....

I LOVE the grouping, the size and shape! It fits perfect, gives the room a "custom collected" look.....today I FINALLY got around to accessorizing.....

I LOVe the way it came out! I was going for a Chic Winter woodland theme.....

I LOVE the creamy lime green poinsettias.....BUT my poinsettia didn't start out int his fab pot....it came in those cheapy green cellophanes.....

While at the thrift (I went back to get a silver tinsel tree I had seen there the week prior BUT didn't buy because the girl said they would be on -sale the next week....of course as all those stories go, when I went back it was gone) I found this Haeger pot.....probably form the 80's. I paid more than I would have normally (it wasn't "expensive" by any means, just more than what I would pay usually...it was $2.80) the ONLY reason I bought it was because I knew I had an immediate use for it.....

Do you see the side by side difference? What a vast improvement from store bought (thank you Wal-Mart) to Chic.....
