Mid-Century Tile Coffee Tables

(Live from Texas! Not a previously scheduled post.)

Bored in my hotel room Monday night, I was perusing eBay and happened upon a mid-century tile top table. We have been looking for just the right coffee table for 5 years - no exaggeration. I realized that a tile table could be the perfect piece for my living room. I already have so many beautiful wood pieces including several that my grandfather built, plus a taupe sofa that I now loathe, so I have no desire to add more brown to my living room. Some of the tables are budget busting, like the $2,000 table pictured below, but some can be had for around $200 on a best offer. Here are some of the more interesting tables that I found:

I really considered buying that last table, which ended yesterday for a mere $175, but until I get home and assess the furniture situation with my husband, it's best to wait. Plus, we may already have a new addition to our little modern furniture family. My husband made the furniture score of a lifetime yesterday. If you read my tweets, you already know what this is. If not, stay tuned until tomorrow for the big news and pictures...
