Making Do: Nightstand

Making Do: Nightstand

I have been enjoying three weeks of quiet, just me and the kids, here in this cottage. This weekend, that all comes to and end and the other 4 bedrooms are being descended upon. I am trying to get them ready. And anxiously awaiting the arrival of my better half.

I love guests. At least here at the cottage, things are more low key, so I don’t feel like I have to bend over backward to make things comfortable. I am going with summer casual.

I’m implementing my use what you have philosophy. My mom wanted to go shopping for nightstands. I dug in the storage area and shed and pulled out stools and chairs. She was impressed and kept her $100 in her wallet for another day.

This stool has served me well for 3 weeks, holding my books and providing the kids with a light to play with constantly.

Now I have to go make more beds and set more chairs and stools next to them.

  1. Chairs make great tables for bedside, particularly those with backs. You can use them to drape your robe or an extra cover.
