Some Inspiration

After seeing this idea by our big sis, Marilyn, I have been on the lookout for a table like this for like 5 years.

She has two, one on each side of the bed, and I think they used to be dark brown and she painted them white. She added a cut-to-size piece of fabric and a cut-to-size piece of glass to cover the fabric and voila!
I've also seen this done with a picture frame, but then of course it has to be the right size for your table.
