merry christmas to me

one of the items i have been perpetually on the hunt for over the last two years are some nightstands for my master bedroom. i have had the SAME nightstand since college!

i bought it at downeast outfitters.

in 1992.

for $11.

needless to say, i have gotten my moneys' worth out of the thing. it is a half circle black table with two tiers, and it has been really great for the last NINETEEN years, but as each year passes, i realize that i NEED something with drawers...something a little bigger....and something a little more grown-up.

i have been wanted a set of matching nightstands for while, but have never found anything i really liked in my budget. i found a pair of vintage nightstands on ebay about a year ago, and almost pulled the trigger. they were relatively affordable at just under $450 for the pair. when i finally decided i wanted them, someone else had beat me to them! argh! don't you hate it when that happens?

well, i was doing some scouting for an online design project yesterday, when the heavens opened and i heard angels singing! yeah...ok, not really, but it felt like it. there, in the clearance section at jc penny.com was the perfect nightstand! (yah know, the perfect nightstand in my budget!)

check it out:

it is called the walnut lane nightstand, and it is on sale right now for $115.

i love that the drawers are flush with the face of the nightstand, and that there is just one hole for the hardware. the size is also perfect....almost 28" wide, and just under 18" deep.

they appear simple and classic and sturdy, but if i wanted to change them a little, i could paint them...

add some grass cloth or raffia to the drawers....

add some trim...

paint the drawers only...

gold leaf the drawers...

add a fun zig zag pattern to the front....

or add some wallpaper...

oh, and the best news? i opted to ship them to a store near my house, so the shipping for both of them was $30, AND they are having a promotion right now to save 15% off of any online order, so the total for BOTH nightstands was $240!

suh----weet!
love that "$961.16" savings....
i get myself the BEST gifts.
