Help Me Pick a Side Table, Any Side Table

The Master Bedroom is coming along, slow and steady. Last week I stopped into a furniture consignment shop and found this green leather chair for $42. I liked the look of her and as seems to be my way, she was a single gal, no partner for her. The end of our bed is in need of something and I thought this might fit the bill nicely.  A bench was originally on my radar for the end of our bed but I have not found anything at all. 

Still needing something at the end of the bed, so I thought a side table might be nice.  Here are the three options I found in my home.  I would prefer not to buy anything and am wondering what you think of the following choices. 

Option 1 – Blue Chewed on Distressed Beauty

Option 2 Gray Leggy Girl – which I wouldn’t mind painting

Option 3 – Round Robin

So cast your vote now, Options 1, 2 or 3.  I am open to painting 1 or 2 a different color but I think I need to leave 3 as an original.  
And just in case you thought my room looks picture worthy at all times, here is what it looks like behind me, doors waiting to be painted and installed in the bub’s room this week along with the closet door from the hallway.  I think my hubby is tired of me getting paint on the carpeting so the saw horses are my hint to not paint the doors on the floor.

The old IKEA table from our previous playroom which was used to hold up the end of the bed because we don’t have a proper frame for it to be attached to.  Resolve used to clean up dog pee from the schnauzer who was mad we left her home this weekend with a doggy sitter.  She finds peeing on our bedroom carpet to be a good way to extract her revenge.  Little does she know she’s just helping along my cause to get laminate flooring in here, soon.   That’s why we have a ginormous garbage can in our room, it’s for the 7,000 tissues I use while sleeping in the night, thank you dust mites!

Still waiting to put the vent back on the wall.  Oops.  We also like to hide red balloons under our dresser and play balloon tag after the kids go to bed.  Maybe naked.  Was that too much?  Ok, we really don’t do that but maybe we might start now.
 Apparently leaving pony holders in doorways are an excellent way to remind your mom to put your hair up before school starts. 

Did you catch a peek at the free dresser?  I painted the drawers when it was really warm out one day but apparently 42 degrees isn’t quite warm enough for spray painting.  They look ok but need a few more coats of white.  Guess that will have to wait another month or two.  
I’m eagerly awaiting your votes on the tables so tell me your thoughts!!!

    hands down the first teal one! the others are too tall- i think it needs to be visibly lower than the chair.

    I think option #1 is the best. The other ones don't match the scale of the chair. Also, I love the teal color – I would leave it the way it is!

    I would definitely go with #1. #2 seems a little bit too tall for the chair, and #3 just doesn't seem to fit, stylistically. I guess it's a little tall too.

    I do like the teal, but can't help but wonder if there's a color that would be a better fit. I'm not sure what that might be though.

    LOL!! Naked balloon tag?? You are hilarious Ange! My vote is for #1 too and maybe painted a different color so that the chair really gets to be the star. Let us know what you decide! :-)

    I almost forgot to vote, laughing at naked red balloon tag. Hahahaha. I agree with everyone else though, #1 for sure. The others are too tall. Love the progress on your room!

    The blue distressed beauty! I just love the color on the walls in here with that color pop….so stinking pretty!!!!

    I like the teal one (size and height)…but wondering if the chair and table might look better under the window as a "reading nook" instead of at the end of the bed?

    I think #1 looks best as well in terms of scale for the chair but agree with Heart and Haven about moving them under the window instead – that bed/wall/bedside table combo is a show stopper and I think having items taller than a bench just distract from the beauty of what lies behind it if that makes sense? xxx
