Hello my dear friends! How are you doing? Today we are going to have a little sneak peek into my bedroom. I'm still working on creating the gallery wall above the headboard so for now I can only share with you, my new, non-traditional nightstand.
I just love it! It is nothing else than a wooden crate, polished with a sand paper and covered with a layer of matt varnish, but it truly adds personality to the room. In my opinion books are a nightstand essential which is why this solution works really well for me - all the current books, magazines I read are close at hand without covering the entire surface. On top of it, you can find a lamp, a frame and a candle. Is that really all I keep on my nightstand? I wish! But the reality shows otherwise. Usually you might find there a few other things, but I was trying to make it presentable. The glass of water or my earrings don't necessarily have to be shown in the photo, do they?
It was meant to be a temporary solution, until we find a real, furniture-like table but it made the room look so much more interesting that... we just can't let it go!

Aga ja będę miała pieńki malnięte na biało ...wasza skrzyneczka jest świetna !!!! chyba nie ma ładniejszej szafki nocnej ,a na pewno nie ma ciekawszej!!! a ja narazie sobie marzę o sypialni uchhhhhhhh :)
ReplyDeleteDzięki Aguś :)) Też myślałam o pieńkach ale nie wiem gdzie bym wtedy trzyymała książki - bo i tak zawsze lądują obok łóżka ;)) Pieńki wyglądają super.... nawet mam jeden brzozowy, narazie stoi spkojnie i czeka aż go dopadnę :D
DeleteCudo. Bardzo mi sie podoba. Ja właśnie dzisiaj zamówiłam sobie moją "szafkę" do sypialni, bo teraz mam wszystko na podłodze;))) - też będzie nieco inna:) I marzy mi sie jeszcze tapeta Cole&Son Woods. Wszystko zaplanowałam, czekam tylko moment szaleństwa zakupowego, bo tak na chłodno, to ciąglę sie powstrzymuję. A planów mam tyyyyle, ze ho ho.
ReplyDeleteAhh jestem strasznie ciekawa co to będzie :) Nie mogę się doczekać!! Oj też miałam obsesję na punkcie tej tapety ale powoli mi przechodzi i przyszedł szał na białą, ceglaną ścianę (wcześniej była naturalna cegła). Nawet zastanawiam się czy nie podjąć się DIY. Tylko gdzie ja będę ciąć tą cegłę? Sąsiedzi mnie zlinczują! haha
DeleteDzięki za miłe słowa! Buziaki :)))
So lovely! Looks like you're settling in quite nicely after your move :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy! :) There is still a lot of things that we need to be done but we are slowly getting there :)
DeleteIt looks great, I love the contrast of the natural wood against the walls and bed linen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Jenni! I also quite like the rough look of it :)
DeleteIt looks awesome! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteHey Clarissa, thanks a lot! :)
DeleteCool!! I love the styling, well done!

I'm happy to hear that you like it :) Grazie mille!
Deleteit looks great. It would be really easy to add a shelf part way down, then you could have a wicker basket in there holiding other stuff that you do not necessarily want on display, like glasses and earrings :)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, this is a really good idea :) Thanks for your suggestion!
DeleteI like it! I also love the lamp on your nightstand, its clean chic adds that certain sort of modernity to the old wood of the crate, wonderful!

Fajna sypialnia! Kocham przerabiać! Nasze łóżko jest wykonane z drewnianych palet!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I agree, you have to have a night table for all your stuff! I have a lamp on mine, a vase with a flower, a picture of me and my Dad when I was 4 years old, alarm clock and a glass of water. I would have hidden the water and clock in the photo too! I hope to paint my night tables in the spring when the weather is nicer.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Diane
Super cute! I am planning on redoing my bedroom so I am on the lookout for great ideas
ReplyDeleteI love the look created using crates. Its just such a nice idea which adds so much personality.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really cool :)
This is great! I love the print on the table as well, great colors! Would love it if you linked up at Link it Or Lump It Link Party http://www.sohosonnet.com/link-it-or-lump-it/link-it-or-lump-it-link-party-28/

Great! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove it and your room is gorgeous, by the way! Thanks for sharing at our link it or lump it party this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up with The Party Bunch... Love it! I am pinning!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm definitely interested in making one of my own. The only question I have is whether you are ever worried about how sturdy it might be? I was considering putting one in my living room and if it didn't have books in the bottom, whether I should worry about it getting knocked over. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe love the crate nightstand and it gives the room a warm and cozy feel. Great DIY project ~ great to see that you shared it on your #simplybebetsy gallery.
ReplyDeleteBest to you,
Sharon and Denise
