New Night Stand

9 years ago

I had a table I really liked that I used as my nightstand. HOWEVER, it was too big because DH couldn't open his closet door all the way. So in the back of my mind, I kept on the lookout for something that I liked that was smaller. Sunday, in one of our local shops I found IT! It's Victorian, has a small footprint, is a bit taller than the old one and I like it!

I absolutely adore it!

I like the old table but as you can see the stop for the closet door is inside the outside rim of the table. DH had to push the table into the bed to open the closet door! Not a good thing!

The new one in place! As you can see the doorstop is far away from the edge of the night table! And I like that it being so small that only a lamp and clock is on top -- not the plethora of books that is on top of the old one! My reading book and glasses are tucked into the handy drawer. The rest of my reading is behind the door.

And I was able to trade table for table! So that is a good thing!

Oh, and I can move the bed over so that the pictures are centered between the bed posts!

So it's your nightstand but his closet door? In any event, I think it looks good in that spot and overall I like it better than the old one.

Linelle -- yes, my side of the bed and his closet door! LOL! Mine is all the way across the room! (And is way smaller than his -- guess who has the most clothes?)

Martha that is really nice! I like it! You're not alone when it comes to space either. Our walk in is beyond puney and since he hates to toss anything he hogs most of it. We pick our battles right?

Beautiful! They are both nice pieces, but the nightstand is really just perfect there. What an attractive piece!

It looks nice,. I have been looking for another nightstand too, but because with the new mattresses they are so high, that you have to lean down to the nightstand from the bed. I wonder if nightstands will start being made taller?

I love having closed storage beside the bed because I always have a stack of books, an iPad, pen, paper, tissues, lip balm, etc., none of which I want to see stacked on top of my night table. I think you will really enjoy your new stand and your husband will love that one little irritation is removed from his life. :-)
