How about a nice container of potpourri?

Just remember, the more you have on it, the more you have to move to dust it off. Think simplicity.

I got some the were considered "Christmas" because there were snowflakes on the pacakaging, but the scent was plain old apple cinnamon. They look really pretty lined up on the coffee table and they help keep it from getting cluttered with junk!

You could put candles on - in holders or the fat ones, and group them. Or a large basket with some dried arrangement in it - You need color - so choose colorful things. A figurine? A little decorative box? A a lace doily or colorful runner on the table? A flower arrangement? If you have lots of old things, you could make a grouping of them on the table. Just a few suggestions...

Also it would elude to your tying the old and new together. Just a thought. Also an old world globe of some kind would look good I would think.I liked one of the ideas above about a bowl of shells, sea horses etc for the interest but I happen to be a rock lover. Just a bowl of pretty stones or even multi colored marbles would be nice I think along side your sand timer. Best of luck.

What do you think of this: a cluster of candles in clear glass holders? You could use a variety of sizes and a variety of colors like cream, beige, and apricot. Then surround the candles with seashells. They tend to be the colors of your cottage. If you're not using the crystal ashtray as an ashtray fill it with sand dollars, seahorses, or beach glass. I don't think you necessarily need to play up the red in your kitchen but if you want too put some of your plants in red pots or vases. Your home sounds really lovely!
