I hate waking up in the middle of the night and having to traipse all of the way to the bathroom for an aspirin or to find a tissue for blowing my nose. I could keep a carafe of water, all my medications, a box of tissues, a handgun and my latest novel on the bedside table, but then I’d have no room for a lamp or the dreaded alarm clock. Since I am not one to do without creature comforts when they are readily available, I have decided to look into purchasing one of the new beside cabinets I’ve seen on-line.
Bedside tables are nice, but lack storage. Ordinary cabinets look gauche. These specially designed cabinets are meant to look just as nice next to the bed, but they also provide you with a few very nice little extras. I have been shopping and am on the fence between two I like very well. The first just matches my bedroom suite and comes with a cabinet large enough to hold my water carafe, a box of tissue and my book, along with a draw just in case I do actually buy a handgun. The other will fit in with my décor with the right doily, and has a full cabinet with two shelves. I could put a lot inside and still have room on top for my lamp, my clock and a couple of other odds and ends.
While I am comparing prices and storage options, along with styles, I am also thinking about the guest room and maybe even using one of these bedside cabinets to replace an end table next to my living room sofa. Let’s face it. No house ever has enough storage, and when you come across a piece of furniture that makes your life simpler, and offers convenient, stylish storage, you should take advantage of it. Right? And yes, I’ll probably end up buying both.
