I think everything should be put where one uses it. Cooking utensils next to the stove. In my end table I have everything I might need once I'm in bed and don't want to get up. On the top: my clock, a lamp, a place for my glasses, kleenex.
My 1 drawer has cough drops, antacids, foot creme. My open space underneath has a pretty flowered box with my hair curlers. Yes I occasionally use them and I put them in while I'm sitting on the bed ready to jump in. A book if I'm reading one.
Drawer can be a catch-all, though. I just cleaned mine out and this is what I left in it.
The thing is that now my bed sits in the middle of the room. I am there, like sleeping beauty, awaiting for my prince to arrive.....which usually means a cat leaping atop of me.
There is no furniture next to the bed since that would turn the space around the bed into a catwalk.....and folding laundry last week, I noted how good it was to be away from that!
I might keep a holster clipped to the bed frame (box) with a flash light perhaps but...........living in the house is still very new, still very much the honeymoon, it will be quite a while till I decide what I really want by my bed.
Location: Finally the house is done and we are in Port St. Lucie!

I know I posted on this thread much earlier. I've since cleaned it out and now have swimsuits in the top drawer, pajamas in the middle drawer and my belts and a small clutch purse in the bottom drawer.
I don't read in bed nor do I take medications... yet
No flashlight there. If electric goes out while I'm sleeping, I won't know till morning anyway. I'm a heavy sleeper.
Hubby has some cuff links in his top drawer, the rest are empty. His office is his place to keep any meds, flashlight etc..
We live in Texas so you can guess what we keep in ours....
Branding irons?
