As I spent lots of time in my room recently, I was thinking about how much your nightstand can say about you and what you prioritize in life! Sound silly? Well, let’s think about it for a minute…
This is a little table that is put by your bed for you to put the things you need right before you go to bed and the things you need right when you wake up.
Some common items might be necessities like: glasses, lip balm, water, and an alarm clock/phone.
Then we move onto the second layer which digs into our interests. A book/iPad/magazine for reading, a remote control if we have a TV in our room, maybe some melatonin gummies to help us sleep, some snacks for a PM treat.
In many ways it reveals more things about someone than what’s in their purse!
What do you keep on or in your nightstand?

They are the bane of my existence! I love to see them nicely decorated but then they need to be utilitarian. I have some source of lighting, a coaster or nice trinket box which can host a glass of water when open, a tissue box, and then sometimes a small speaker, my kindle or book, the pills i take every night (during the day they go in the trinket box), a candle.
I would love to be the person who lives in a house where coffee table books serve as trays but I think I’m too clumsy for it, or maybe daily life is not for coffee table books to be used as trays(?).
I don’t spend a lot of time there so if I have like a single stem or 2 of flowers, might have them there, otherwise flowers are also not for the bedroom, I’m afraid!
haha I feel you! I need mind to be functional, too!
