I made a clock
Do you remember the basement remodel? It's nearly finished, but not quite. I'll do some proper "after" photos one of these days.
The look I'm going for down there is kind of Palm Springs cocktail hour meets Gauguin's Tahiti, but I am a notorious under decorator. I have trouble accessorizing; I don't do clutter well. At least the clock has the feel I'm looking for- I made it myself. I cut a circle out of 3/4 inch mdf and drilled holes for the dowels around the edge, taped off the leaves, spray painted the whole thing, and added the clock works (from Hobby Lobby). Tada!
Pull a stool up to the red bar. It's time for a cocktail.

Oh. my. goodness. I adore that clock. I wish I still had a basement so I could do the same thing.
