Bar Cart as Bed side table

Our bed has been without a night stand/ side table for ..... as long as we had it. Yeah, we bought our current Bed, mattress and the dresser a little over 3 years ago, but I didn't go with the night stands that matched the bed set, thinking I don't want all matchy matchy in the room. Plus all that wood can make the room see even smaller, I thought. So ever since I have been looking for the perfect mismatch for my bed. I wanted mirrored round tables but wasn't practical with a toddler in the house. I then looked for metal ones, but none clicked, until this came by, at Target, on clearance from $129.99 down to $90.98.

Yup, I am a sucker for clearance and when the item is this beautiful and versatile, I had to buy it. So I rolled it to checkout without a second thought. After some wrapping paper lining, it sits beautiful next to our bed.

I put a basket in the bottom shelf with some books for the kid's night time reading. Yes, we still co-sleep.

I plan on using it for its original intended purpose (a Bar Cart that is) when we host parties, but for the rest of the time it can serve the alternate duty of being our night stand.

In case anyone is wondering, 

Curtain behind the cart  -  from Ikea

Blue vase  -  from Ikea

Wrapping paper  -  from Home Goods

Basket holding books  -  from Target (quite sometime back, may be Nate Berkus collection)

Now the search continues for something on the other side of the bed.
