I saw the nightstands on Pieces for $2895 for the pair. She is way overpriced, but hey... that is 10x what I bought the entire set for.<br /> So what are you going to do with it now?Danika Herrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718254010088732587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695752413125708607.post-73589379574174816422011-04-26T08:31:06.420-04:002011-04-26T08:31:06.420-04:00Very exciting, Ashley!
