When I was out Christmas shopping. I spotted this awesome clock…

It appealed to all of those things that make me go weak in the knees – my love of letters and numbers, wood and metals, and vintage meets modern.

So, in the spirit of one for you, two for me, I bought it. Let’s say it’s a little Christmas present to myself.

I probably wouldn’t have splurged if I didn’t have an empty wall just begging to be filled…

See? Barren.

I used the toothpaste method to hang it that I learned on Pinterest. Add a dab of toothpaste to the hooks on the back of the piece you’re hanging…

…then place it exactly where you want it on the wall, and it leaves a glob of toothpaste on the wall exactly where your nail should go. Frankly, it worked better than I expected…

Perfect placement and minty fresh!

Doesn’t it fill out the space perfectly?

Love all of that vintage-y goodness! Plus it works perfectly with the two sepia tone pics to the right. And with the cat hiding on the stairs above!

Merry Christmas to me. And to you too!
