Last week was my birthday. As part of that my mom and my dad each gave me some money to spend...on myself. There were rules. I've been thinking about what to get and have decided on a full length mirror and shoes. I'm such a girl.
We don't have a full length mirror in our house though. We had contemplated buying an inexpensive one to hang on a door but Chuck was concerned that it would be too heavy for our hollow doors. We could have gone with a stand up mirror like this. However, our bedroom is cluttered enough as it is with our "home office" in one corner of it (got to get that basement finished!).
About six months ago we were strolling through IKEA when I spotted this mirror. It comes with hinges! Chuck went and picked it up for me yesterday and today we'll get it hung in our master closet. A normal mirror wouldn't work on the one bare wall in the closet because you couldn't back up far enough without hitting shelving. Now I can swivel the mirror out and stand in the center of the closet (which is an 8x8' room) and get a decent view and then put it back flat on the wall for storage! Yay!
I was given $150 in total. (so spoiled!) That means I still have $100 to spend. And I'm definitely spending it on shoes. I figure I can get 3-4 pair for that money. Now I can't wait to go shopping! I received a 30% off coupon from Kohl's good for this weekend so I'll start there. Whee!

Hey, congratulations on the birthday and on the great IKEA find! Any time you can get furniture that you were looking for - like a big mirror - and you have the added insurance that it 1) fits into your room, and 2) doesn't cost an arm and a leg, you have done well for yourself. Now, let's see how many pairs of shoes that 100 bucks leads to!
