Pretty by the bed

I simply wish I had a lovely bedside table or little chest of drawers or a chair or anything pretty really next to my bed.

The truth is I have a plastic storage box on my side of the bed with magazines and a lamp on top. The storage box is housing...any guesses?
It's housing a number of my collected treasures which I'm either saving for 'my house one day' or I'm occasionally alternating them with things I have out in our living room.

On Mr Cornflake's side of the bed is his amplifier - anyone unfamiliar with what one of these look like, it's a great big black box! 'Look it doubles as a side table!' those were his words!!

I can't change our sorry state of affairs for lack of room in our flat so for now I'm dreaming of a time when I can get a look like above!

  13. Beautiful! I would have never thought of hanging a mirror above the bedside table, but it looks lovely. To answer your question on my blog, I usually eat one or two servings I make and share the rest with friends, family and co-workers. Thankfully I'm still the same size I was when I started this blog!

  14. We have to have our storage, but it can also be pretty storage, I have discovered. Men, can't figure them out.
