Holidays are good for the soul. And the blog. Eight posts already since I've been off? Now that's just crazytown! Please try not to get sick of me. Once I go back to work I'm sure I'll simmer down a bit. ;)
Yesterday I posted about some plans for the master bedroom. Truthfully, I've been on the hunt for some of the items on my wishlist for a long time.
One of the items on my wishlist was a pair of bedside tables for the master bedroom. A girl needs a spot to put her coffee down in the mornings while surfing the internet in bed, dontchaknow?
Forever and a day, I've been looking for tiny, chippy tables like this one:

They need to be really tiny, because we don't have alot of room on either side of the bed if we centre it in between the two windows in the room.
Back in the spring when I traveled to the Christie Lake Antique Show (you can read that post here) I even mentioned that I found some tiny tables.
'Cept they were $400-$500 EACH. Say what!?!?!?!??!?!?! Obviously, that didn't happen. They did not come home with me and I've been bedside-table-less ever since.
Until Homesense came to my rescue. I walked in one day and saw a set of tiny, white, matching, cottage-y end tables for about $79 each. AND, they were wood to boot. I snatched those suckers up real fast.
Here they are:
Even though I wanted some tables with a little more chippy character, these puppies will do just fine. I can always add some chippy things to the shelves, right?
To give the tables a bit more character, I picked up two of these adorable knobs when we were at The Door Store in Toronto. (P.S. Found this awesome store thanks to Jen's recommendation from Rambling Renovators. The store was awesome.)
So here is one of the knobs before:
And here is one of the knobs after:
What I especially love about the tables is their potential to put cute stuff on the top AND the two bottom shelves on each one. Oh yes, bring on the clutter that I hate to dust. Hee hee.
Woo woo!!! Cross bedside tables off of the wishlist. Done and done. :)
P.S. I'll probably bombard you with another post tomorrow since I think I found a quilt that I actually like!

I am working on my master bedroom too!! A mini makeover if you will ;). I am actually in the process of painting an old Pier One side table so what a coincidence. Cant wait to see what the master bedroom looks like with the refinished floors and new furniture!!
ReplyDeleteGreat side tables ... and extremely cute knobs!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute and I love the new knobs! I can't believe that the table was $400-$500! That is crazy! Anyway, I am loving all your ideas for your room, have fun!!!

I really like your little tables...great find!! I love reading your posts...you are so funny...so don't feel badly about posting too much. I have been to the Christie Antique show too and never really come home with anything but great ideas...the prices are out of my reach. I just went on one of your older posts about shopping in cottagy shops in Southern Ontario. Since I live in Southern Ont. I can't thank you enough for sharing these great little shops. Now I can't wait for spring to come for some road trips with my hubby.

Those are great little side tables! Love the new knobs so much better. I think it is hard to find side tables at a resonable price. I most likely will buy mine at an unfinished furniture store and paint them myself when I work on my bedroom in the future. Can't wait to see the rest of your bedroom redo. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! love the glass knobs too, for some reason I think glass knobs make most furniture pieces look so much better:)
ReplyDeleteGreat find at a great price! Those will look so cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and they look adorable with the glass knobs too. I have not been to the Christies show yet but I have been to Aberfoyle a few times. Yes, they can be pricey indeed.
ReplyDeleteI would love two tall and leggy tables like those, and I'm still keeping an eye out. In the meantime I managed to put the last coat of white on two little tables I will be using for night stands in our basement guest bedroom. Now just a wax and they will be off my list. They will work until I find some taller.
Those are absolutely ADORABLE!!!! I love those knobs....I think they add the perfect touch to the tables. But I have to say....my favorite thing about your blog is the button that says, "you're cute!" It made me smile!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the new hardware as well! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely bedside tables! So divine! Enjoy the gorgeous day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteYour tables look beautiful and I love the glass knobs.
ReplyDeleteGreat little tables and a great price... congrats!! Love the knobs! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love your perfect little bedside tables. It's always worth it to wait and find what you really want and the fact that you found such a bargain is a bonus!
ReplyDeleteThose are really sweet! I love to add different knobs to pieces too...Anthropologie has a great selection!
ReplyDeleteThese tables are great and bombard away....LOVE your posts!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! and I've found another Canadian blogger to boot. Nice to meet ya!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower :)
I like your bedding better than the PB bedding. I'll be using the same color combination when I redo my bedroom. It's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm looking for dresser knobs too. How much were those beautiful knobs from the Door Store? I'm in Toronto too!
