Unique bedside table.

Classic chair

Here we have a simple and chic nightstand. To make it you need a small wooden table, tape measure, a pine plank, a drill, wood screws, paint sprayer, a jigsaw and sanding pads. If the table doesn’t have the desired height you can cut the legs using the jigsaw. Then make sure you remove the existing paint or varnish. Cut the table in half and give it a final sanding. Apply the paint and let it dry. Then measure the width and transfer the dimensions to the wood trim, cut it to size and lean the table up against the wall. Mark the edges with a pencil, drill some holes for the plugs and then finally attach it to the wall.{found on site}.

Tiny ladder.

A ladder can also be used to make an original and ingenious nightstand. The idea is to use a double ladder and to lean it against the wall. If it’s too big you can cut it with a saw to the right dimensions. The steps will serve as shelves for books, an alarm clock, a glass of water or anything else you need. The space underneath can also be used to store something such as a box.

Bunch of books.

This bedside table is made out of a bunch of books. Making something similar is very easy. You just need to gather some books, stack them and secure them with a belt. The same idea can be used to create an original coffee table. Get creative and improve on the design if you want.

Bedside from pallets.

Pallets are extremely versatile and wonderful for all sorts of DIY projects. This bedside table, for example, is made from a wood pallet. You just need to decide on the dimensions and then cut the pallet. Attach the pieces you have removed to the sides to create a nice frame and there you have it: a nice, simple, rustic bedside table with a storage compartment.

These small wall-mounted bedside tables are perfect for small spaces. To make them you need wood, L-brackets, wood glue, small finishing nails, a screwdriver, a hammer and hardware to mount them on the wall. Cut the wood to the desired dimensions and assemble it using nails. Then attach two L-brackets to the long edge of the top piece using screws. After that, attach the two side pieces to the edges of the top using wood glue. Place the remaining piece of wood on the top of the two side pieces and allow the glue to dry. Reinforce the joints with nails and add the finishing touches.
