I've come up with some new ideas for finishing our master bedroom (my inspiration is nature, tropical, safari, travel, nautical). My plans are already driving my husband crazy and I had to make him re-hang sheers above our bed three times. But, we're making progress and after envisioning our nightstands, I came across these photos of bamboo side tables that are just what I had in mind:

Aren't they fun? I love the clean, simple look of the frame, but have no idea where to find them. So we're thinking about making a wood version, and lining the shelves with bamboo place mats to give it texture (like the nightstand above that has cool textured shelves). Let's hope it works.

and must go and check out a cup of jo {http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com} she's giving away a sailor's knot- to go with your nautical theme :)
I like the frame looks too. I hope you can find your desired one. Making one sound like fun too!
Alli - This looks like a Williams-Sonoma home dream. I totally recommend mixing in the bamboo pieces for texture and, as odd as it might sound, maybe even some Asian inspired pieces. I live by the beach in Southern Cal and we have a white, navy blue nautical type theme in the living room, but also mixed in a couple Asian pieces with a seagrass rug over the dark wood floors - looks sharp and is a very relaxing room. You can never go wrong with bamboo! Good luck in your quest! Can't wait to see a picture!
I just love that first photo of the nautical-inspired room! I've always been a huge fan of two twin beds in a room, but just haven't been able to convince the hubs to make the change. ;) We painted our front living room that same blue/gray on the walls and it looks fantastic. I saw some similar bamboo tables at Ross recently. Maybe they still have them? Looking forward to seeing your finished room! Good luck!
it would be so cool to make one! you must share the diy tips if you decide to go through with it :) i love the look but i don't think i'd be able to resist the urge to paint — maybe bright red or crisp white?
i am lovin the drapery against the paint colour on the walls in the top photo; so light, clean and airy looking, it invites me :)
Love the first room Alli, bamboo and nautical, pure genious. The bamboo side table is beautiful and I like the butterfly in the silver frame, really lovely. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
