Bedside table styling

So I have been really wanting to make my nightstands in our room pretty & styled. They are very simply done now but I'm really wanting to add some fun decor and add some wall hangings around the nightstand and lamps. Here is what they look like now:


and here are some of the items that I have & put together for what I have in my mind.


What do you think? What are things that you think would look great on nightstands or things that you cannot live without?

Okay - now some randomness...did anyone else watch The Real Housewives of the OC last night? Holy toledo that Sarah girl is awful! She drinks a little too much and talks way too much! Now, I'm not saying that throwing an extravagant party because after 10 years of marriage you finally change your name isn't crazy but really....why does Sarah keep showing up? And the previews for next week (the season finale which I am very sad about) look even more dramatic with the fight between Vicki & Tamera. Why does Tamra have to pick fights again different women each season? Okay enough Bravo gossip for the day :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

You have beautiful bed side tables! I bet they will be easy to dress up. I have to have a framed picture and an empty spot for the current book I'm reading. I hate that girl Heather! I don't care if you have a sugar problem! I couldn't stop laughing when she used that as an excuse for ripping off a piece of the bow.

Love all of those touches (and that you give sources!) I haven't watched OC in forever so I'm totally lost, I"ll have to jump back on the bandwagon:)

I am loving those prints! I have love the like for ever one for a while, but the love you... it perfect!

Sara said...

I love all your bedside choices! I almost bought that PB clock. I've been wanting it for a while now. I recorded last night's RHOOC. I plan to watch it tonight before Dallas! Sounds like it's getting HOT! Hope you have a great Wednesday. :)

Sarah Hartley said...

I miss having bedside tables. Right now we just have a headboard with shelving because our last bedroom was a bit smaller in size. Oh the joys of a rental. :(

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

I love each and every one of your picks! I'm big about nightstand styling. A great lamp, books and a bowl filled with my favorite baubles are my highlights :)

Oh and yes I did watch! I'm addicted. Addicted to most Bravo shows really but RHOC is my fave. That Sarah girl has to go. She's irrelevant and such a mess. So sad that the finale is coming...

I love your table inspiration. I really need to catch up on RHOC, I can't wait to see the fight between Vicki and Tamera.

Love your new profile pic!!
I don't watch Real Housewives of the O.C. (just Vancouver!) but it sounds juicy. :o

On my nightstand...jeweled frames holding pics of my babies. A stack of magazines that I can never seem to get rid of. Current book. A pretty box of tissue. Above it, two pieces of small art : angels done on alabaster tiles. Pretty and just for me on MY side of the bed. :)

Yes, please post after pics!!

Morgan said...

Love the new ideas for your nightstands! And yes! Sarah appears to be a little on the crazy side! So sad it is the season finale next week!

i love your ideas! on my night stand I have a bowl of sea shells to add a beachy feel, along with a place to keep my chapstick & chanel changers together. i think its best to go with less is more. you dont want too much on there!

bedside table said...

Glad to see your blog here. Your bedside table is looking stunning with great design. You have also decorated it beautifully. Really your ideas are very innovative to stylize the nightstand.

Looove the "for like ever" prints!! The JCrew wedding store in NYC has them hanging on their walls and I fell in love with them there, so cute!
I am hooked to RH-OC too, and yes Sarah is just mean and rude! I can't wait for part 2 of the finale! xoxo

Stacy said...

I cannot have too much Bravo gossip! Sara is a nut job, I just hope they don't bring her on the show next year as a housewife. I have a little cool bowl on my nightstand because I always have something to take off, my earrings, ponytail holder, bobby pin etc. I also keep the top drawer pretty empty and throw our remotes in there. They always seem to clutter up my nightstand.

Heather @ Cookies For Breakfast said...

Yesss that Sarah is totally bananas!!! And looks sickly skinny. What a looney. So flippin excited for next week's finale, and even more excited for the reunion. Did you know that Briana is pregnant? Just saw it on twitter last week! I get abnormally excited for celebrity news.

Stacy said...

I saw that Briana is pregnant too! Bravo shared their ultrasound photo on Facebook. I can't wait for next weeks show. I saw in a preview episode that Tami and Vicki get into a big fight at Heathers party. Heather must be dying on the way these ladies acted at her house.
