Farmhouse nightstand Pottery Barn furniture review

I recently finished a refresh on our barndominium bedroom that I’m just thrilled with! While I can’t show you the whole thing yet, I can show you this little peak and review the Astonia Open Nightstand from the Pottery Barn furniture collection. It’s the perfect farmhouse nightstand to complete the space filled with shiplap and farmhouse character.

My love of Pottery Barn furniture and Astonia Open Nightstand

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Pottery Barn. There’s a lot on my site that you will find from there and William Sonoma. I love that they offer beautiful, traditional pieces that are truly classics. They often fit within farmhouse style, traditional style, French country and even minimal or modern. It’s really in how you style them. With all the accent pieces this Pottery Barn nightstand is truly working for a farmhouse nightstand.

Not only that but most of the time their pieces will be made out of real wood or even reclaimed wood like our farmhouse coffee table {HERE}. And, they truly make a point of crafting pieces that have been made in a Fair Trade Certified factory. Maybe that’s not important to everyone, but I love real wood and I also love brands that do good in the communities in which they operate.The Astonia Open Nightstand from the Pottery Barn furniture collection not only makes a beautiful farmhouse nightstand, but it also checks both of those boxes.

The farmhouse nightstands are made of solid mango wood and made in a Fair Trade Certified factory where “workers receive extra funds for every product sold which are used for community projects chosen by workers.” In the case of the Astonia Open Nightstand, the wood was also responsibly sourced and it is certified non-toxic so the air in our home for our guests will be cleaner.

The price is right for this farmhouse nightstand

So, I also know when you think Pottery Barn furniture you might see dollar signs. But because the pieces are such classics, they’re often investment pieces. That said, the Astonia Open Nightstand feels like it was a steal! At $150 each, I paid the same amount for two Astonia Open Nightstands as you would often pay for one and have the farmhouse nightstand look I was hoping for.

For real wood, sustainably and fairly sourced, I feel like I really stumbled upon a little gem.

But why the Astonia Open Nightstand?

I already mentioned that I love that the Pottery Barn furniture is crafted from real wood. But, from a décor standpoint, the Astonia Open Nightstand was everything I was looking for to complete the look in the barndominium bedroom.

I wanted lighter wood because the barn is really white and bright. Despite the trend towards going dark, this space will stay that way for now. It has a calmness about it that I don’t want to weigh down with too much moodiness. It also feels so much cleaner when everything is light and bright.

I also wanted something without drawers. I always think extra places to hide stuff brings more stuff. 🙂 Since these farmhouse nightstands are in our guest space, I didn’t want them to end up cluttered. The shelves on the Astonia Open Nightstands allow for plenty of places to put décor pieces while not having anywhere to shove random items.

Lastly, I love the detail on the legs of the Astonia Open Nightstands. They fit well into the barn as farmhouse nightstands, but they also have a touch of the French Country vibe and could easily fit into any décor style.

Would you buy the Astonia Open Nightstands again?

Yes, emphatically. In fact, I’m planning to buy another set for either our bedroom, or the basement remodel (if it’s every finished).

Decorating the farmhouse nightstands

The decor on my farmhouse nightstands is largely thrifted. But, I was able to find some similar items that I think would go really well and complete a similar look for you.

• The Cast Iron Bird statues {HERE}, {HERE} and {HERE} look really similar to my bird.
• If you’re looking for the same or similar vintage books I used, you might be hard pressed to find them. I won’t buy just any vintage books (because you could get carried away and waste a lot of money). However, I do buy vintage books that are about gardening, homemaking, women’s issues, classic literature, writing or poetry. If you’re looking for just any kind of vintage books, you can find a good option {HERE} for a little collection the sellers will pick for you or check out Etsy {HERE} if you don’t want to go on a treasure hunt in your city.
• You can find a brass bell {HERE} or this beautiful one {HERE}.
• You can find a cute and very similar tic tac toe game {HERE} or {HERE}
• As for the brass watering can, I like this mini one {HERE} and this galvanized one {HERE}.
• You will have the best luck finding a metal toolbox on Etsy {HERE}.

So, what do you think of the Astonia Open Nightstand from the Pottery Barn furniture collection, friends? Is it a piece you could see in your home?
