New bedside "tables"

Our old bedside tables didn't fit in our new bedroom. Instead of looking for new ones, we decided to try a really simple option. We purchased some scrap wood from Ikea in the same finish as our bed and closets (they have scraps in the as-is section). Dustin cut some pieces to size and suspended them between our bed and our closets with framing angles (A-35s, in case anyone handy is reading).

Voila!

The floating bookshelf is made by Umbra. We have a tendency to let stacks of books pile up next to the bed, and this is a sophisticated solution.

I'm really happy with the clean lines - it encourages me to keep my side neat. My clock is from the flea market and my lamp is an old one that we used to use in the lab.
