So… you just bought a fabulous new night stand (or better yet, you performed a DIY update on one you already had). In any case, now it’s time to add the finishing touches. Like any other surface in your home, you want to make sure to add a few key pieces to infuse personality. When accessorizing a bedside table, the items should be not only functional, but also personal and interesting.  Here are 7 key items that work for any bedside table. Depending on the size of yours, feel free to edit to ensure things don’t look too cluttered.

1. Alarm Clock: Clearly in the functional category, but this one tres chic (RueDesLouves, Etsy)

2. Lamp: Another necessary yet beautiful addition (Arteriors Home, Zinc Door)

3. Small Flower Arrangement: One view of these in the morning, and your day is off to a great start (inspiration found at haute-hostess.com)

4. Picture Frame: To ensure that loved-one is close to you at all times (Michael Aram, Neiman Marcus)

5. Candle: In case you need to create a certain ambiance in the bedroom 🙂 (Sydney Hale Co. Candle, School House Electric)

6. Jewelry Holder: Fun and functional! (ModCloth)

7. Water Carafe: A thoughtful touch, especially in a guest bedroom (similar; Design Within Reach)

 

Anything you have on your bedside table that’s not on this list?

Ciao for Now,

Okay, so after many months of promising to share pics of Keira’s nursery, I’m finally doing it.  I’m super pleased with how the room turned out. Between a couple of splurges, quite a bit of bargain hunting and some DIY projects, I was able to complete the space and come in under my $3000 budget… hooray!

I wanted a room that was feminine but not too girly or young.  The color palette consisted primarily of various shades of pink (but NOT pink walls), white, grey and gold as that perfect sophisticated accent.

The wall color (Mauve Morning by BEHR; The Home Depot) creates a calming ambiance that really grounds the room.  Surprisingly my husband picked the color (well, he selected it out of the 3 swatches I put on the wall).  

Here are details on some of the key products in the room.

Note: I added a little twist to the dresser… more to come in a future post

Hope you love the space as much as I do.  Stay tuned for more details of how the space came together.
