nightstand nightmares

We've never had a nightstand. When we were in a studio it was out of the question since our bed went wall to wall (yeah, the apartment was that tiny). Since we moved to our spacious two bedroom, it's really just been a project we've been putting off.

So when I saw this at a local thrift shop I thought it would be perfect.

We picked up some gray paint from Home Depot and new knobs. We sanded it down and were planning on two coats, but one coat looked fine so we left it at that. 

I'm really happy with how it turned out. I think the lamp might be too big. Is it just me or is it throwing off the proportions? The rest of the wall above the bed is still plain, so I'm looking for something to put there. Suggestions are welcome.
