tick-tock

Don't you just love this clock? It's from Clock Work Universe. I thought it was a painting at first, but it's a real life clock from Russia in the '50s! I just love it!

I was considering getting it but I have a zillion clocks around the house (ok not quite a zillion but I have a few) and I'm in a I'm-not-spending-anything-right-now phase (which likely won't last long).

dinner al fresco

I've been enjoying the weather here in Toronto immensely and have pretty much spent every waking minute outside, including at dinner. The other night Mark and I ate dinner out back and didn't come in until close to 10 (ok that may still be early for some of you but for me it's bedtime :)). I even started pulling weeds at 9:30 (I had a bit of a motivation spell).

Do you eat dinner outside a lot in the summer? Wouldn't you just love to eat dinner here (ok maybe those stumps wouldn't really be comfortable but the chairs would be!)?

barn doors

We decided to put barn doors in our basement on all of the door openings and originally we were going to put raw, reclaimed wood but it's not going to go well with the floor we chose. I'm really loving some of these other options for colour.
