tidy tuesday, repurposed bedside tables

Now that we are in a smaller bedroom, we are trying to reduce visual and physical clutter, while repurposing things we already have. I have some great bedside table options, but I have already decided I want something small next to our bedside. I’ve tried a chair because it’s functional, already here and a good size. But then, the little lemondrop decided to use it to crawl on the bed daily. So, after cruising the web and pinterest I tried something else for now, one of my vintage crocks that’s normally on display on a shelf. It’s a little low, but serves the purpose of book, clock and glasses holder. Plus it’s heavy enough not to be shoved over by small hands.  Are you a bedside table traditionalist or have you tried something original?

    That looks really cute and with only just enough room for the things you need theres no temptation to clutter it!
    My plan is to use a vintage crate for my bedside I’m just wiating to find the right one. I will use it on it’s side with books in it and maybe a little lamp on top.
