What's Does Your Table Say About You?


Have you ever taken a good look at your bedside table?  Do you have a photo of a loved one, tissue, chap stick, books or maybe a a special object from your travels?  What I'm getting at is, I think looking at someone's bedside table says a lot about that person.  If they are avid readers, minimalists ect. I think it is one of the most personal spaces in a house. What does your bedside table say about you?   Here are some beautiful bedside table vignettes.  Some are totally staged and others are a bit more realistic.

Be Well,

  1. Every single image is stunning. I like to see how people chose to arrange their lamps in these -- close to the bed for reading or further away? The sconces are great too. I've always wanted to try that.
    My bedside table is a jumble of books I haven't finished plus a bunch of children's books. I need to spiffy it up. Thanks for the inspiration, H!

  2. Great pictures! I've been noticing bedside lamps lately too. I just switched ours out for smaller ones and now I don't have to l-e-a-n clear out of bed to turn it off. Who wants to do that when you're half asleep?! I love large lamps, but unless they have a metal base (for a touch adapter thing) I may have to stick with small.

  3. Love how some people put a mirror or framed piece behind the lamp. The 7th image is just stunning! I love how they used a console instead of a typical bedside table. Very inspiring post!

  4. wow, i love all of these - i'm such a fan of the layered look. I really like the night tables that have books stacked underneath them or on a bench. I also am a fan of the sconces leaving more room for personal things.

  5. Oh dear! Mine has four books, two permanent markers (not neatly stored in anything), a silver tray with Chapstick and a plastic glass on it, three unmatched socks from last nights laundery, an antique blue and white Japenese plate with a small tube of suncreen (in case there is a sudden burst of radiation in the night?) nestled in amongst a collection of small blue and white antique objects, a framed photo of my daughters, ANOTHER antique milk glass plate holding a cut glass ink pot (no INK!), a rock from one of my trips, a lovely bar of soap someone gave to me that has not made it to the bathroom, my mother's PEO pin that I need to return to the parent organization, a small box of antique turkey seals I forgot to put on the place cards at Thanksgiving and all the jewelry that I wore last week and did not put back in the jewelry box that sits on the dressing table in the bathroom. Guess my style would be messy!
