inspiration of the week: bedside table styling

One of the easiest ways to update a space is to focus on the styling of one of the surfaces. Coffee tables, console tables, mantles and desks are great spaces to experiment with styling. For me, I'm in desperate need of some styling in our bedroom - specifically the bedside tables. So I've been in search of some inspiration this week. Here are some of my favorites.
