With its light wooden legs and its painted top in grey and blue, this second-hand wooden bedside table brings a soft countryside touch. Its unique niche accommodates a paperback, while the top holds a lamp and an alarm clock to keep essentials within reach in the bedroom. The contrast between the light wood and the painted hues gives it a sober look, easy to match with vintage linens or a wooden headboard. Sourced to accompany reading evenings, it can also hold a small vase or a glass of water without cluttering the space. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few traces of time.
