An AT:SF reader got creative and decided to store some rather boring but necessary items in this storage ottoman, moving them from their more obvious abode. Can you guess what she stores in here?

Etsy seller Spruce Home, a design studio based in Austin, TX, has upholstered this ornate, wooden-based ottoman in Amy Butler's Nigella Primrose fabric, giving it a vibrant, modern update. The Ottoman Empire ($425) stands 14 inches high with a 30-inch diameter, the perfect size to use as a round coffee table, or set with a tray or some shelter books on top. Not only do I adore the aqua and cool green fabric used, but it looks like it'd be super comfortable used as a stool, foot rest, or even a dog bed!

The suzani trend has been going on for probably a year now, and somehow I've yet to tire of it. VivaTerra has just introduced a Suzani Bench ($395-895) that is truly stunning and also eco-friendly. Made from 100 percent organic cotton and sustainable sheesham wood, and colored with eco-friendly dyes, it's one addition to your home that won't incite remorse.

This Wal-Mart Eco-Friendly Tre Bamboo Chair and Ottoman Set ($299) is made from bamboo — a sustainable material — using a bentwood technique, and is styled after Eames designs. I think it's pretty good looking, but then again, it is from Wal-Mart, which many of you may find controversial. What do you think?

I've never met a French furnishing I didn't like. The French are relentless purveyors of style, and they win me over again and again, be it with a Chanel frock or a Philippe Starck chair. The Jayson Home & Garden Vintage Chair and Ottoman ($2,995), seating from mid-20th century France reupholstered in dark gray linen, is no exception either.

When I was a little CasaSugar growing up in the great white tundra, I couldn't wait for the first crocuses and tendrils of green grass to peek out of the snow mounds. My eyes were literally starved for the color green. Years later, I moved to the Bay Area, where I am nearly always surrounded by green foliage.

For this past week's Casa Craving Challenge, I asked you to hunt down and bookmark your favorite coffee tables. They didn't even have to be coffee tables per say: ottomans, benches, and other objects were fair game as well. Well, color me impressed, because you found some amazing coffee tables that I'd never seen before, from hip tables made from skateboard decks to sublimely sophisticated walnut pieces.

I'm happy to report that I finally banished our gigantic, awkward, and heavy coffee table to the basement (where it awaits its future owner, who will find it on Craigslist). But now that I've finally rid myself of that albatross, I'm at a loss for somewhere to put that shelter mag and glass of wine.
That's why for this week's Casa Craving Challenge, I'm asking you to hunt down and bookmark your favorite coffee tables.
