Lol. Usually there's some project or other that my husband is putzing around with, so there's almost always a mess of tools, discarded packaging, cut wires, etc. Also playing cards, a pencil and pad of paper, because my mom comes over often and we like to play cards. Usually there's a sticky spot somewhere, and some crumbs. I don't even bother trying to have some sort of decorations, there are too many activities happening on that table.
