The bedroom makeover has sort of stalled… don’t get me wrong, we’ve made some EPIC progress, but at the same time there are a few big impact pieces that are still missing from the room. One in particular is a nightstand. I scored these lovely vintage Lane pieces on Craigslist for a song, but as soon as the wallpaper went up, they suddenly didn’t feel right. There’s something about the scale and the tone of the wood grain that isn’t jiving with my vision. It’s actually been really hard for me to figure out why they aren’t quite right! And thus began my search for a white nightstand that is also small space friendly…
On either side of the bed, I have about 23″ inches to play with which is apparently small for many nightstand manufacturers. Who would have thought?! I’ve scoured the internet to find options and there are some really great ones out there. Our top 3 requirements are:
- provides storage
- complements the wallpaper
- actually fits in the space

- Ludlow bedside table
- Joyce end table

But then I found all of these and started to majorly question whether we need the storage on our nightstands. I know, I know. This basically goes against our #1 priority. But they are just so pretty and would really make the wallpaper sing. I don’t know what to do…

My preference would be to include something vintage in the room because so much of the pieces are new and I like to always do a mix. I’ve been eyeing these options, but I’m still not totally sold! The issue is that most of the vintage nightstands are too wide or the ones I like stylistically aren’t white. Also, we need a pair of matching nightstands which can be difficult to source. Oh, and don’t even get me started on how much some of these cost…

- 1940s agate side tables
- brass 2 tier tables
- Jens Quistgaard side tables
- T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings end tables
- mahogany nightstand pair
Clearly I’m having a nightstand crisis. Which one do you think I should put in our space? Help!
