Coffee and End Tables - The Right Combination Can Be Stellar

When it comes to living room furniture two standards are the coffee and the end tables. They might match or simply complement each other, but without them you would just have a room with a sofa.

Cherry Side Tables

Coffee and end tables are used for many things from eating or resting feet to holding a cold drink or the remote control. The coffee table is usually in front of the sofa while the end tables are commonly nestled beside a chair or sofa. They are made of many things from wood to glass to wrought iron and travertine these tables can add subtle elegance or a punch of style to any loving room.

Cherry Side Tables

Sure you can trudge from furniture store to furniture store to department store to see what is available in the world of coffee and end tables. But the best way to see what is available is by shopping online. Browse through an eclectic selection of tables from wrought iron pedestals to wooden kangaroos in the comfort of your own home. It may even make it easier to imagine your new tables in the very room you're sitting in.

Choose from glass tops and marble veneers to a golf club pedestal or a rich cherry finish. Maybe you like the look of two smaller tables bunched together or one large one to make a contemporary statement. Whatever you choose, first and foremost make sure it fits in your living room.

Second make sure it matches your motif. You can pick tables that are conversation starters or tables that aren't too pretty. Just make sure the tables you choose speak to you and represent your personal style. After all you don't want your home to look like a picture in a magazine you want it to look like somebody actually lives there; you. You'll never be more comfortable than in a house filled with furniture that you love.

So before you pick a collection of coffee and end tables for your living room take a look around. What colors or themes do you want to carry through the room? Do you like shabby chic or Victorian? Maybe you are into the simple and clean modern look or maybe you would prefer something a bit more traditional? Once you have decided this than look for tables that match your color scheme. Remember if you pick something on the plain side you can always rejuvenate with a fresh coat of paint and some new drawer pulls.

You'll also have to make sure you get tables that are the right height for kicking up your feet or setting down your soda. You don't want something too low or too high. Once you have found your perfect tables the real fun comes in arranging your living room to get the most use out of them. Then you can sit back, relax and enjoy your beautiful living room. You have a place for a lamp to read by and your magazines to pile up. You're living in high style.

Learn the Techniques of Shuffleboard Legend Roadhouse Billy Mays

If you are a table shuffleboard fan, then you may have heard of Shuffleboard legend Roadhouse Billy Mays. He has a repertoire of tricks that he can do. If you watch his techniques, you can learn how to play the game of table shuffleboard better than your opponent. Shuffleboard legend Roadhouse Billy Mays has a YouTube video that is only over a couple minutes, but if you watch it carefully, you will see that he has total control over the weights and it looks like he can control exactly where they end up.

Cherry Side Tables

In watching his shots, you will see that he seems to use a lot of English, side-wheeling and control when placing his shots. Perfecting these techniques can help you score more points. For those that play table shuffleboard, Roadhouse Billy Mays is a person who has practiced these shots over a period of years, but learning how to put a reverse spin on the weights by using English is involved in a lot of his shots.

Cherry Side Tables

To apply English, the thumb and forefinger are used to put a back spin on the weight. This takes practice because the weight can actually slow down enough to keep from going off the end, but too much English and it will backtrack in the point values, which is not what you are after. Getting used to the surface of the table and practicing how much force and English you need is the key to this control. Because English puts a braking action on the forward movement of the weight, you just want to make sure it makes it far enough down the shuffleboard table.

Another trick Shuffleboard legend Roadhouse Billy Mays uses is the side-wheeling technique, where he will shoot from the side of the table, using his third and fourth fingers to "guide" the weight down the table. Much like bowling, table shuffleboard is a lot about knowing where to start with a controlled spin or angle on the weight to place it where you want it and in a space that will be too risky for your opponent to knock off. Along the sides can be a safe bet, but you don't want to end up in the gutter, so practice can make perfect on this type of controlled shot.

If you listen to Shuffleboard legend Roadhouse Billy Mays, he says it is easy to play table shuffleboard and he certainly makes it look that way. The key is using the techniques to get the right amount of force, and control where you place the weight for the best scoring possibility. This can take quite a bit of practice. The best players will have a home shuffleboard table. If you have your sight on becoming a professional in table shuffleboard, you will probably want to get one of the best tables that are the closest to tournament tables. The better quality wood tables are made of solid maple, cherry, walnut and kiln-dried with polymer finishes to keep the table slick.

A good table, good techniques and practice are the keys to learn how to play table shuffleboard as good as Shuffleboard legend Roadhouse Billy Mays. Practice the skills of putting English on your shots and use side-wheeling for control.

Amish Bedroom Furniture - Relax in Handcrafted Comfort

Because you want your bedroom to be a place you can relax and go to for repose, you want furniture that reflects security and peace. Amish furniture, well made, can give you just that. True Amish furniture is made by hand and employs the best traditional furniture making techniques, passed down through generations. Fathers train their sons as they work side by side to build furniture that's going to be around for generations. Woods for this furniture are chosen because they are high quality and have a beautiful grain. Every genuine piece of Amish furniture is made of solid wood and has no veneers or particleboard included.

Cherry Side Tables

Amish furniture can be a big investment, true, but its returns are unsurpassed. When you choose Amish furniture, look for construction materials and techniques that are of the highest quality. The pieces you choose should be made of solid wood, including having solid backs on pieces of furniture in their upright, such as dressers. The choices of wood should usually include pine, hickory, maple, cherry, oak or quartersawn oak. Hardwoods of the highest quality are kiln-dried so that they have proper moisture content. This helps prevent the woods from splitting and cracking as the piece ages.

Cherry Side Tables

Whether you choose a single piece or entire bedroom set, take a careful look at the construction. The Amish are renowned for their handcrafted furniture and employ traditional techniques to build solid and lasting furniture. Pieces of furniture such as chifferobes, armoires, chests of drawers, dressers and nightstands should hold up under rigorous daily use. The furniture should have dovetail joints holding the fronts and backs of the drawer boxes together very tightly. English dovetail joints give you more storage capacity than French dovetail joints do. Take a look at the drawer slides, too, because they should smoothly slide in both directions.

The bed is the centerpiece of any bedroom set, and it should be made with solid wood side rails and slats. This eliminates the need to have metal mattress frames. Cross slats should be made by either tongue and groove or should be doweled into side rails. This will make the bed extremely sturdy and strong and will eliminate any swaying. Headboards and footboards should be made with full mortise and tenon joinery, which further provides unsurpassed strength. Beds are usually made in the Traditional, Sleigh, Shaker, or Mission styles. You can also custom order Amish furniture for your own needs.

One final point to make is that when you select an heirloom quality piece of Amish bedroom furniture, take a look at the finish. Find craftsmen sand down the wood in several steps so that they are sure to have a smooth surface both inside and out. Some shops finish each piece of furniture using a five-step process. They use a top grade finish strong enough to stand up to nail polish remover. Every surface everywhere, from top sides to undersides, has been sealed and finished so that your lovely piece will be protected for years to come.

Monomyth Explained: Red River (1948) Deconstructed

From our deconstruction of hundreds of Hollywood blockbusters at http://www.managing-creativity.com/

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.

The Hero's Journey:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

How to Make Salads

The most important thing to remember when learning how to make salads is that they don't have to be dull. A variety of different fruits and vegetables can be combined to make any kind of salad your heart desires.

Cherry Side Tables

Greens

Cherry Side Tables

Leafy vegetables are a great source of fiber and will add bulk to your meal without adding a lot of additional calories. Most salads start with a base of lettuce, which comes in different types such as iceberg, romaine, spinach and escarole. Just by varying your greens you can bestow a different flavor and look to a salad. You can find more vitamins and fewer calories in darker greens, so they are an ideal base for a healthy salad.

Speaking of greens, if you garden, you might be surprised at the number of edible greens not normally considered "food". The leaves, usually the young leaves of beans, peas, broccoli, beets, cucumber and corn, plus onions, okra, peas, sweet potatoes, squash, and of course, turnips are all edible and perfect to salads.

Fruits and Vegetables

In learning how to make salads incorporating fruits and vegetables don't let yourself be limited by the recipe. Add the fruits and vegetables that you most enjoy. Common vegetables used in salads are:

Tomatoes Onions Artichokes Cucumbers Broccoli Asparagus Carrots Zucchini

The list goes on and on. Nearly any vegetable can be thrown into a salad to add taste, color and texture.

Varieties of fruits provide a delicious burst of flavor and are rich sources of vitamins and antioxidants. The sweetness of fruits added to a salad can help to reduce or eliminate the use of high calorie salad dressings for those of you looking to watch your caloric intake. These fruits work well in any salad:

Mandarin orange segments Apple slices Raisins Blueberries Raspberries Blackberries

You can mix and match your favorite fruits and vegetables to make every salad unique.

Protein

To make a salad a meal instead of a side dish, add proteins such as strips of grilled or fried chicken, ham, turkey, sliced hard-boiled eggs, tuna, cooked shrimp, or cheese. Eventually, you will learn how to make salads out of nearly anything in your refrigerator.

Arugula Salad with Avocado Citrus Vinaigrette

To get you started learning how to make salads, this is a great recipe:

1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced 1/4 cup chopped red onion 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon honey 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro 1 leaf fresh mint, chopped 1 leaf fresh basil, chopped 2 1/2 cups baby arugula leaves 2 ounces kalamata olives, pitted and halved 2 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved 1 ½ pounds chicken breast, cut into strips 2 tablespoons freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, or to taste

In a blender, pulse avocado, red onion, lime and grapefruit juices, rice wine vinegar, black pepper and sea salt until smooth. Drizzle in olive oil and honey; then add cilantro, mint and basil leaves until only small flecks remain.

In a small bowl, toss arugula, kalamata olives, and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with shaved parmesan cheese, and pour vinaigrette evenly over salad, tossing before serving.

Salads are a great way to make sure you are getting the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables making them can be easy. You can follow a recipe or you can make up your own. Once you learn how to make salads, you will wonder how you ever got by without them!

How to Plan a Great Outdoor Dinner Party

June is here and many people are planning on celebrating several things like graduations, weddings, birthdays, or just the start of summer. There does not even have to be a reason to celebrate but simply one to reconnect with friends and family on a beautiful summer evening. Many people enjoy entertaining outdoors after being cooped up inside all of those cold Winter months. It is also a way for many people to have a bigger party with more space to accommodate more people. This article with discuss how to plan for an outdoor summer party whether it is a small casual barbecue or a more elaborate garden themed party celebrating a special event. It will touch on a sillier theme like "Everything on a Stick" where everything edible comes on a stick or rustic Italian menu where Frantoia olive oil will be widely used and beautiful desserts using fruit syrup are
served.

Cherry Side Tables

Let's plan a smaller, more simple type of party outdoors. This could be for up to 8-10 people. The more food preparation you can do ahead of time, the more you can relax and enjoy your own party. If you do not have an outdoor seating area this may be an ideal time to purchase some as many stores are having huge blowout sales. Fresh flowers really make a table beautiful for the summer and many can be cut right from your garden. Crisp white table linens always look great for a summer party offset by colorful flowers.

Cherry Side Tables

Now, for the planning for the menu. Summer time is wonderful because so much of it can be simple and fresh ingredients and be so delicious. The more seasonal it is the better it will taste. Let's do the fun "On a Stick Theme" for your party. This is a play on all of those summer festivals and carnivals that are going on but in a much more healthy menu. A beautiful appetizer could be marinated mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and basil leaves on a wooden stick alternating the items. It is simple, looks great and is a delicious appetizer.

The main course can also be simple items that are served on a stick after they are grilled. You can do a variety of kabobs such as a chicken satay with peanut sauce and a grilled vegetable kabob too with corn, peppers, mushrooms and onions. A simple side of rice can round out the main meal. For dessert, serve a spin on the traditional s'mores with roasted marshmallows, chocolate kisses and animal crackers all on a stick. It is fun and yummy at the same time. For beverages, people often enjoy something fun to drink in the summer. Margaritas or mojitos are a refreshing drink during the warm weather or a light white wine is always good. Always offer water and non-alcoholic options as well for your guests. To finish it off, candles or even tiki torches make the mood outdoors fun or perhaps small twinkling lights in a tree or attached to a canopy are an easy and delightful touch.

Mexican Kabobs - A Great Cinco De Mayo Recipe

Kabobs might not be one of the traditional Mexican foods but, if you enjoy both Mexican food recipes and grilling, why not make some tasty kabobs? It is easy to add a south of the border flavor to kabob recipes and you can team chicken and vegetables to make a colorful and appetizing dish. This would make a great Cinco de Mayo food, especially if you plan to celebrate outdoors.

Cherry Side Tables

You can serve other authentic Mexican food recipes on the side. Salsa, guacamole, pinto beans, and sour cream make nice side dishes. Tortilla chips, rice or corn chips are other possibilities. If you are catering for a mixed crowd, you might also want to make some classic grill dishes such as burgers, chicken wings, and steak. Most people will want to sample your Latin kabobs but others might prefer the plainer items.

Cherry Side Tables

Food Safety

If you only use one knife when preparing the ingredients for this chicken kabobs recipe, make sure you clean it well after cutting the chicken, because raw poultry can contain parasites.

Alternatively, use one knife for the poultry and one for the vegetables. The same applies to the cutting board. Also, make sure the chicken is fully cooked before you serve the kabobs. That means it must be white all the way through with no trace of pink remaining.

What You Need:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 1 onion 10 cherry tomatoes 1 zucchini 1 red bell pepper 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 lime Salt and black pepper

How To Make Them:

Cut the chicken breasts into one inch cubes. Cut the bell pepper, onion, and zucchini into half inch wedges. Squeeze the juice from the lime in to a mixing bowl. Add the cilantro, cumin, and olive oil and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Stir the chicken into the mixture in the bowl, ensuring it is covered all over. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for two hours. If you are in a rush, one hour is better than nothing but the longer you leave the poultry to marinate, the better the flavor will be. Preheat the grill until it is very hot.

Thread the poultry on to eight metal skewers with the vegetables, alternating the ingredients along the skewer. If you want to use wooden skewers, you will need to soak them in water for half an hour before you assemble the kabobs, else they might catch fire on the grill.

Brush olive oil over the grill plate and arrange the kabobs on there. Cook them for about ten minutes or until the poultry is cooked through. You will need to turn them a couple of times during the cooking, the ensure they cook evenly. Serve them hot, with your favorite side dishes and accompaniments and wait for everyone to compliment you on your wonderful Mexican food.

1

Cherry Side Tables

Sparkling Wine ~ A fantastic host or hostess gift and versatile wine for cocktail and dessert parties because it pairs with just about anything and is an affordable yet impressive bottle of bubbly.

Cherry Side Tables

Our Pick: Schramsberg Vineyards Mirabelle Brut .99

2

Fume Blanc ~ Just another name for Sauvignon Blanc, this crisp and refreshing wine has intense fruit that makes your mouth water. Pair this chilled with your first course, favorite seafood dish or anything spicy.

Our Pick: Ferrari-Carano 2009 Fume Blanc .99

3

Pinot Gris ~ Our pick from Oregon's most widely planted varietal, this Pinot Gris is "bright and silky, delivering a lively mouthful of pear, apple, melon, and floral flavors that persist nicely..." Wine Spectator 90 points. Pairs great with all the flavors of the holiday season, like turkey, ham, or potato gratin.

Our Pick: Torii Mor 2009 Pinot Gris .98

4

Chardonnay ~ What a great value for this 92 pointer by Robert Parker. "The 2008 Chardonnay Estate has much more orange blossom and tropical fruit, with a hint of honeyed citrus, more color, and a slightly more caramelized style to it, but with less minerality than the Verna's. Again, the purity and precision are impressive, and although there is a touch of spice, there is virtually no evidence of any oak." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate. Pair this with rich fish dishes like salmon and oven roasted chicken.

Our Pick: Melville 2008 Chardonnay "Estate" Santa Rita Hills .95

5

Rose ~ A great WOW factor in the glass and vibrant on the palette. This dry rose has both spice and fruit, with hints of sage and watermelon on the nose, and flavors of juicy strawberries and red cherries finished with good acidity. A delicious way to start your cocktail party or the perfect bottle for a friend or fellow wine lover.

Our Pick: Tablas Creek 2008 Rose .99

6

Pinot Noir ~ A versatile wine for holiday fare, this Pinot Noir is full of ripe red cherries and rhubarb with a little herbal tea essence, nice acidity, overall very well balanced. A side note, Pinot Noir is one of hardest varietals to grow, so it's worth it to pay a little more for this varietal for better quality. Pair this with roast duck breast, pork tenderloin or the French dish, Coque a Vin. This is an impressive gift idea for any wine lover.

Our Pick: Adelaida 2007 H.M.R. Pinot Noir .95

7

Grenache ~ What an amazing value for this 91 Pointer from Robert Parker. This seductively spicy wine offers both red and dark berry flavors, cracked pepper and smoky notes, ending with sweet cocoa powder in the lingering finish. Pair this Spanish wine with barbequed meats, slow cooked roasts, or even tomato based dishes, like lasagna. You don't want to miss out on this one. Great affordable gift idea for the fellow red wine drinker.

Our Pick: Borsao 2008 Tres Picos .95

8

Zinfandel ~ This is one of our all-time favorites. It has all the characteristics an amazing Zin should have. On the nose, it has aromas of both ripe and dried fruit, including blackberry and currants. The palate displays intense red fruits like cranberry and cherry with a smooth mouth feel and velvety tannins. Be warned it's very easy drinking, so pick up more than one bottle. It's a splurge, but hey, it's the holidays.

Our Pick: Chateau Montelena 2007 Zinfandel .95

9

Merlot ~ "We're NOT drinking Merlot!" Oh the famous saying from the movie "Sideways." Over the past few years, Merlot has been tainted negatively, a lot due to this film. Don't be fooled ladies and gents, there are great quality Merlot's out there. This full bodied wine has a strawberry jam filled nose that progress into flavors of dried plum and red cherry with herbal notes of rosemary and thyme. It finishes slightly sweet with toasted almonds, chocolate and candied orange. Pair this Merlot with grilled meats like herb crusted filet mignon.

Our Pick: Stags' Leap Winery 2007 Merlot .99

10

Syrah ~ What a delicious varietal for the winter season. This 90 Point syrah "is rich and complex enough to put on the table beside a fine meal... Dry and finely tannic, it features flavors of black-berries, cherries, leather, mocha, tobacco, pepper and sage, and finishes long and spicy." Wine Enthusiast. Pair with beef short ribs, rich stews, and beef bourguignon.

Our Pick: Kunde Estate Zinfandel .99

11

Cabernet Sauvignon ~ One of my favorite varietals, this 92 Point Cabernet from Robert Parker, "is the real deal. Incense, forest flowers, black fruits, and crushed rock, jump from the glass of this inky purple-colored wine. Full-bodied, dense, and voluptuously textured, this is a beauty, a superb bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well young...Bravo!" Robert Parker. Pair with a prime cut of beef, like a grilled rib-eye cooked to medium. The juicy buttery meat will melt in your mouth and soften the tannins in the wine. What a divine match.

Our Pick: Turnbull 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville .99

12

Port ~ A great dessert wine, like a Port, can be a sweet end to a delicious Holiday meal. "Very saturated dark red. Youthful port aromas of cassis, licorice, chocolate, herbs and damp earth. Very intense, sweet flavors of chocolate and dark berries. Robust yet smooth and not obviously alcoholic. Superb fruit is given clarity by firm acids. Real wine-class port, with terrific structure, freshness and delineation of flavor." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar. Goes amazing with rich nutty or chocolate desserts and full bodied cheeses. Great gift idea: buy a bottle of this port and add your favorite dark chocolate truffles.

Our Pick: NV Graham Six Grapes Port .99

How to Build a Door

Building a door can be a labor of love or just plain labor if it is to be just a utility door. A utility door is constructed to perform the simple task of keeping people in or out or somewhere. Beauty is of no concern. An architectural door on the other hand could range from a hand hammered copper finish to solid Brazilian mahogany finely carved door to a plain faced solid oak panel door. All require a great deal more labor to build than a utility door.

Cherry Side Tables

Let's start with building a utility door. Assuming you have a good pair of saw horses and some proper shop tools a utility door is really only a basic frame with perhaps a Luann plywood covering. Placing solid insulation inside the door makes the door a bit more stable and sound proof if the entire assembly is glued together. If your door opening is thirty six inches by eighty inches high, your finished frame will be a bit smaller by a quarter inch. Construct the frame of one and a half inch thick square boards ripped from a two by four. Try to pick the straightest pieces you can find. If you own a table saw, make lap joints for all four corners.

Cherry Side Tables

Lap joints will make the frame far stronger than butt joints. If no table saw is available, the use biscuits can be substituted. Glue and screw all four corners making sure the frame is square. Add a horizontal cross brace again using lap joints or biscuits. Let the assembly completely dry. Now install the Luann quarter inch plywood to one side of the frame. Glue and nail the plywood in place. Add your rigid insulation to the inside of the frame and glue that in place as well. Now add the second face to the door and set the assembly aside to dry. Using a router with a small eighth inch round over chamfer bit, put a small chamfer on all edges of the door. This prevents splintering of the plywood edges and makes opening and closing the door easier as well. Hinges come in hundreds of styles and finishes. Utility hinges should be at least three inches in length and preferably three hinges per door. Using a hinge cutter, mark the door and jamb to assure the hinge pockets line up exactly.

If you have a router bit for hinges or a good wood chisel go ahead and cut the hinge pockets. Mount your hinges and the door is ready for a lock set, a barrel bolt or whatever device you choose to keep the door closed. Total cost maybe forty dollars.

An architectural door on the other hand can costs thousands of dollars to make. I have a friend who hand hammers copper faced doors with the most intricate designs you can imagine. Those doors sell for thousands of dollars and are mostly made to order. If you are going to attempt to make an architectural door you will need some advanced wood working tools beyond the normal plane and chisel sets. You will need a blind pocket screw jig, a mortise and tenon set, a wide array of different types of planes, chisels and gouges. Multiple sets of pipe clamps and a good solid work bench are a bare minimum. The wood you select to work with must be kiln dried and have a stable basis.

Pine is easy to cut and carve but warps at the slightest hint of moisture. Oak, Cherry, Hard rock maple, mahogany and other hardwoods are harder to cut and carve but are much more stable over time. A good door will have an outer framework of solid wood pieces joined by mortise and tenon joinery. Many designs allow these joints to be joined with a single wooden peg and they last forever. Joints must be precise and tight. The interior sections of the door can be solid panels with carved faces or other ornate decorations. Panels are usually installed using a mortise slot cut into the sides of the doors exterior frame. Interior doors will have the panels simply slide into grooves in the rails and stiles with no glue or nails. This allows for expansion and contraction of the wood. Heavy wood doors will have four good solid brass, four inch ball bearing hinges. They will prevent the door from sagging over time and bowing and bending the jamb out of shape as well. Once stains and sealers have been applied, a solid wood door should last for many, many years.

Designer Tips on Bedside Tables/Night Stands

Cherry Side Tables

Each table has its own distinctive characteristics ,used to complement a room rather than define it. It slumbers nestled up to your bedside with purpose. The composition, color, storage and landing surface for your lighting are just the beginning of things to think about when selecting a night stand. Some very important tips to consider when selecting the ideal table is:

Cherry Side Tables

Composition/Size:

1. As a general rule the night table should be about the same height as the mattress.
2. Deep tables(anything beyond 24") Make it difficult to get in and out of bed.

Storage:

1. Consider all your pre-bedtime activities or habits.
2. Do you need a place for all your reading material?
3. Does your nightstand need to house medication, night creams, tissue, reading glasses,etc.?
4. If your a minimalist and prefer no drawers, consider tucking a smaller table or stool beneath your table to stow away phones or books.

Lighting:

1. Consider the lamps height, it should be high enough so that they are positioned at the proper height as to not be blinding while in bed.
2. Install a dimmer switch if you can
3. If light has two bulbs and no dimmer use two different wattage bulbs to control the mood. 40watts for ambiance and 60-75 watts for reading.
4. Non-opaque shades are best for sufficient lighting for reading.
5. If space is a premium, consider wall mounted sconces.

Color/Finish:

1. The finish of the night stands do not need to match each other or the rest of the case goods.
2. Do something unique and unsuspecting, select an elegant table for one side and a storage type stand for the other side, just ensure that they balance each other in weight and size.
3. Find a colorful piece that can accent the room/bedding for added interest.
4. If you have a nightly drink, ensure the finish on the stand can withstand any spills or have a custom piece of glass cut to fit to avoid water rings.

Designers enjoy searching out the unusual, the unexpected, and breaking away from the norm, so when the ideal unsuspecting night stand purchase comes across your path, don't hesitate, Buy It! You won't regret it.
