We don’t know about you, but we have to admit having watched a few minutes of those shows on hoarding, and sometimes wondering if our basement or teenager’s room would qualify. Spring also starts us thinking of starting fresh and creating a clean, uncluttered new look. It begins with the daunting task of deciding what to keep and what to discard. It’s easy to procrastinate or get caught up in the nostalgia of favorite treasures, but everyone needs to make the difficult choices and get rid of what’s not needed.

“Occasional Tables” - are they tables you only use occasionally? Are they only tables occasionally? No…they’re tables of all shapes and sizes, usually smaller than your kitchen or dining room tables. These tables are also referred to as “Accent Tables”. They are coffee tables, end tables, couch tables, conversation tables…all thought provoking and easily making the center of a room or bringing an empty corner to life.
