My Simple & Organized Nightstand

by Erin Colburn

I haven't shown our master bedroom very much on here, but today I thought I would share how I keep my nightstand simple and organized. Our nightstands are actually small dressers from Ikea (the Kullen). They're a great size, and a steal at about $40.00/each.

Just like the other spaces in our home, I like to keep very little on my nightstand. I love the look of nightstands that are styled in magazines with a million accessories, flowers and all that goodness, but that's just not for me. I like to be able to have space for a glass of water at night, and regular dusting is so much easier without a lot of clutter.

One of my favorite things in this space is this curved glass print from Tiny Prints. It's one of my favorite engagement pictures, and I love this unique way to display it. During the day, the natural light behind it illuminates the photo, and at night, the lamp brightens it up and makes me smile every time I see it. It is truly a special piece.

Here's a look inside the top drawer. The liner is actually fabric leftover from our living room throw pillows. I created it using a tutorial from Nalle's House.

My glasses case is the perfect place to store them when they're not on my face and I've got some of my favorite lotion here. These two small dishes are perfect for a place to stash a pair of earrings I may have forgotten to take off before bed, some chapstick and a few hair accessories. I often wake up in the middle of the night needing to throw my hair up into a messy bun, or pin my bangs up, so it's nice to have them close by.
