It's the first thing people see and the last one on many home, the color of the front door. ''People are starting to branch out'', says Amy Wax, an architectural color consultant.

If you're interested in an occasional table for your bed so your won't have to get up once you're all tucked in, look no further. We bring you an easy, quick but most of all, cheap tutorial so you can do it yourself ....
Supplies Used
- 1 - 2x12x12 Top Choice board (if possible, ask the employees to cut this to the exact measurements you need so you won't have to do any cutting)
- 4 - 2'' Ridgid Locking Casters (wheels that only move backwards and forwards and don't swivel, so your table won't move in different directions)
- 1 box of wood screws 8 x 1 1/2
- Sandpaper
Get your local hardware store to cut 2 pieces at 29 1/2 inches and one piece at 60 inches. (If you are attempting to make this for a different size bed, you would add an extra 3 to 3.5 inches on each side of the bed to allow for the comforter space).
After it's cut, just screw the ''L'' brackets into place and sand it.
Screw the wheels into the bottom and voila, it's done. Now, you can paint it in color of your choice.
