Technically, nightstands are just about the first thing we see when we open our eyes in the morning to hit the snooze button, and the last thing we look at each night as we take off our glasses, set down that book or take that final sip of water.  So why not add a little personality to the first and last piece of furniture we lay eyes on every day?  Today’s roundup pulls together ten quirky designs ranging from a $30 minimalist glass stand from IKEA to an ornately painted octopus night table with drawers from artist Will Means.  There’s something for every personality, every style, and every type of bedroom.  So without further ado: ten cool creative nightstands for your perusal.
