My lovely new family member

This morning I woke up with a wild hair - buy a mirror for the baby's room. I'm going for something like this but more masculine, different color scheme and obviously a different shape.  But, I just love the idea of mirror above the crib instead of the commonplace trio of photos, the canvas print or his name.

Here's my inspiration:

(got this from a great baby nursery style website: Lay Baby Lay)

Anyhow, that wild hair... oh yah... well, sitting doing some design research during Nash's naptime I started cruising Craigslist. I don't LOVE Craigslist like some people do. It's rather daunting to me and I find there to be SO MUCH junk to sift through that I just can't handle it some days. But, today was a different day. I just searched 'bamboo', 'mirror', and 'wall' and tada! there she was my little bundle of joy:

I patiently emailed the seller and no response. So, I texted them and they responded and for $100 (so I thought) I sealed the deal and then impatiently drove to Highland Park T-O-D-A-Y to get it. Can I just say? If all my Craigslist purchases culminated in HP, I'll Craigslist all day! Once I arrived the seller started to re-nig (<-- is that how you say it?) on the prospect of selling it. Are you kidding me?! I used gas at $3.78 a gallon to pop my craigslist cherry and you want to "change your mind"?! I want that friggin' mirror, woman!!! So I upped what I would pay by $20 and there she sits... comfortably awaiting my painting decision. More to come as I get to that project. Hhahahah
