My place and yours....'bedside'

Photobucket

I love the new meme from Pip so I have decided to join in once again. Last week you saw the robot collection. This week the lively Pottymouthmamma (I was addicted to her nightly commentating on MasterChef on Twitter - who wasn't??) chose bedside as the theme.

I took two shots to represent bedside in our household. To get the top photo meant I had to go on a stealth mission up the loft bed ladder. This, in itself, is a mission, I can tell you. Then I had to fight the six-year-olds toys, doonas and pillows, stick my arm out and aim for his window shot. His loft bed is the same height as his long skinny window so this gives him the perfect bedside table. The whole window ledge is covered with nicks and nacks and lots of Santas and Christmas stuff. He loves Christmas - he's the Christmas kid. The shot was taken looking through his loft bed railings - and is a miracle!

The shot below is my nook and cranny. Very simple as I hate clutter around the bed. It's an original art deco bedside cupboard - love it. It has my Sony clock I received when I was 13 - yes, still going 20+ years later - love it. I light up my night life with my retro bright red steel lamp - love it. And then we have the night water and the collection of books and the handmade bookmakrs care of the six-year-old. Love it. The brown bricks are just about to be painted a high gloss white. Can't wait.

I love night time.

  1. It looks lovely. Very cosy and welcoming. Beside my bed was such a tip, it's having a quick make-over before I take a photo!!
