apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

clever - yes. practical - no! I don't even see an alarm clock. I suppose one would have to be a bit cuckhoo to have a nightstand like this.

Very quirky and fun! Pic taken from my all time fav mag "LivingETC"

Maybe for a guest room (not that I have such a thing myself). It's not very practical for real life.

I love the place to put a book. You could add a shelf and make an "attic" for an alarm clock.

Maybe stacking multiple birdhouses would be more useful--I've got too much bedside stuff for one tiny wren house.

Love Palmetto's birdhouse-stacking idea.

No.

It looks a little bit country, a little bit shabby chic and a lot tippy.

here's a design with a similar concept, but looks like it might work a little better/not ruin your books as much (but it's also not as cute):
