Bedside Tables - A Real Expression of the Self

Pine bedside tables are such an expression of personality, yet few people ever really realize it.
What is found, or not found in them say a lot about the person that sleeps next to it.
Everything about it, from the design of the table itself, to what you find on it and in the drawer or cabinet, all speaks volumes if you are paying attention.
When you stop and think about it, what we do right before bed, and right when we wake up, says a lot about what we enjoy and what we value.
Is there a stack of paperwork from the office sitting on top of that little table? Does your job haunt you at all hours of the day and night? If so, chances are a glance around the perimeter of your bed, and the nearby furniture will give it away.
It is possible for people to be totally accustomed to being plugged in at all times.
It will make no difference whether it is the computer, some video games, the mp3 player, or the phone, these people always have something in use.
Some people use these for recreation as well has work.
It can also mean that a person is unable to unplug.
Using these items can become addicting for some people.
There will be telltale signs by the bed, though.
You will probably find a charge station, and related magazines near the bedside.
A stack of books near the bed can say a lot about a person.
Not only the fact that they are there, but also what sorts of books are there.
Are they work related books? Novels? Non-fiction? It makes a big difference.
Some people really like to read some of a novel to take their mind off of their stress to help them to drift off to sleep easily.
A new baby will totally encompass the lives of their parents.
Next to the bed you will likely find a copy of a parenting book, some diapers, and perhaps a swaddling blanket.
In other words you find things that a parent will need to reach for in the middle of the night.
It is a lot to get used to, so it is little wonder that it takes over the entire household.
What is done before drifting off to sleep really does speak volumes about what a person enjoys, and what their lifestyle is like.
When getting to know someone, a peak at their table next to their bed will enlighten you a lot.
You can learn more from this than you can from several dinner conversations.
Remember to also take note of the styles or designs of bedside tables.
Unlike what you find in the living room or kitchen, what you find in the bedroom is not selected with what other people will think in mind.
Instead, it is representative of the true tastes of the owner.
Simple and modern will say one thing, while furniture that is vintage or romantic will say something else entirely.
Bedside tables seem so trivial, but do not be deceived by the reputation.
Instead, let it tell you all about the person that sleeps there.
It can be even more telling than a medicine cabinet.
