space between night-stand and bed
Comments (8)My favorite bedroom had a long wall and instead of bedside tables I used a chest on DH's side and a pretty desk on mine. From your name, wearybuilder, you're probably still in the overwhelmed stage of home building - but once you're in and settled, if you have the room, consider changing one or both of your bedside tables - it adds a certain panache to the room that was both functional and stylish.

Comments (23)I hate to be such a pain in the butt, but :) I am becoming more and more indecisive as I get older. Here is another mock up. This one is 29 1/2" and 34" long. The top is a little off balance as I did the length with books, game boards and table leaves. The picture frame on the end represents a mock up of a table top perfume cabinet we're currently making (the tables are the next project) The perfume cabinet is going to be approximately 10" wide x 15" high x 7 1/2 deep. I was originally going to make it 9 x 13 x 7", but the mock-up showed me that I could go bigger. Now here's my question, why does this table look so big. It is actually almost the same size as Mona's tables, a little smaller actually, but to me they look so big. I tried taking a photo from looking down on the table, more like Mona's photo and it still looks big. When we make the tables, we'll make the tops more level than the mock up :))) I hope.... A further away shot. 34" long, why does it look so long? Is it because I am use to looking at our 20 x 20 by only 22"high end tables?

Comments (10)It's been there so long that dh would probably squawk if it were gone. He does turn it on every once in awhile but I unplugged it one time & it was a couple of weeks before he noticed. And this is terrible but I like the bulk of it because it keeps dh from piling more stuff onto his table. Flowers, even fake, are out because of dh's allergies. When we build our next house, I am going to have wall lamps and very small tables next to the bed. So for now, it's all about getting this place ready to sell....See MoreUsing a nightstand as a living room end table
Comments (22)Patty, that's what I am after -- storage for those bits and pieces that end up all over the living room. Thanks, actually, for reminding me about that, because the Stickley pieces don't have any storage! This is a pic of a coordinating small dresser to the last R&B "nightstand" I posted below. Does this look more or less bedroomy? I kind of prefer the open bottom for books and magazines. The one I originally posted: I like the side view of the legs. In terms of size, it is the same height as the table I'd be using on the other end, and pretty close to the same width, so scale-wise, I think it works. You can see I am talking myself into this, now, can't you? I just know that drawer is going to make me so happy....See Moresdionnemoore
