The Bedside Table

[Atlanta Bartlett]

I have been searching, for what seems like forever, for the perfect night stand for our master bedroom, and am still at a loss.

It doesn't have to be a table per say, it could be a few vintage suitcases stacked together, or a charming French bistro chair, or even a simple and elegant metal table like the gorgeous one above. I'm not picky... really, I'm not!

I'm looking for something to compliment our espresso coloured bed set, which is quite simple, but rather large. I think that's my biggest problem. Our bed is high. It's really hard to find a piece with enough presence to stand beside our bed, but small enough to fit in the space that's between our bed and the door.

So ladies, I need some ideas. What are you all creatively using as your bedside tables?

--------------------------

I should probably add that my husband informed me once that I could use the one that came with the set. I just laughed. One day he will learn.

I hope you all had lovely long weekends.

Happy Monday Girls!

PS. Just a reminder that Tracey of French Larkspur, is still hosting her lovely Cabbages and Roses giveaway. You can still enter here before midnight tonight!

Ultimate Affection - Atlanta Bartlett

[All Photos from Pale & Interesting]

You can imagine my excitement when I finally found a copy of the new Flea Market Style. I have honestly been searching everywhere for a copy. Finally, tucked neatly on the shelves of my local beauty supply shop, I found it.

I, however, was over-the-moon excited when I discovered the feature article on Atlanta Bartlett inside this lovely issue.

My love for this very talented lady started with her book At Home with White. I found a copy at a box sale at our local book warehouse. I was instantly drawn to the gorgeous photos and stunning vignettes. From there, I discovered her lovely online boutique - Pale & Interesting - a collaboration with her husband Dave Coote. I'm looking forward to purchasing her latest book - Pale & Interesting, available now.

Let's just say, if I had to pick just one style to emulate, this would be it. It's the perfect balance for me, and the natural taste I'm drawn to. I simply love most everything.

If you haven't shopped Pale and Interesting, follow the link above. In the meantime, here are some of the look books you can preview online.

Thank you to the FMS team for featuring such talent, and inspiring me so!

Enjoy!

I hope these get you as much excited as they do me!

Happy Monday girls.
