I have a few irrational fears including …
fear of ferris wheels
fear of sharks
fear of mimes.
Well, I’m not really afraid of mimes – they just annoy me.
One fear I obviously don’t have is arithmophobia which is the fear of numbers as you can see from my numbered cubbies and completely over the top amount of vintage clocks.
Remember eight months ago when I decreed that I would finally get my World’s Smallest Powder Room ready for her close up.
I know what you’re thinking, “Seriously Kelly, all you could accomplish in eight months was hanging some cubbies and sticking some clocks in them?”
Don’t judge me people.
Step 1 – rustic numbered cubbies hung
Step 2 – vintage clock collection displayed
Something for all of the gentlemen to admire when they visit the loo.
Sorry ladies, you’ll only get a quick glance.
Stay tuned for Step 3 in my World’s Smallest Powder Room Makeover – it’s such a fun idea!
What are you afraid of? I won’t judge.

Love your clocks! Let’s hope the gents don’t like them too much, it may affect their aim! LOL
Now that you mention it, those guys were spending alot of time in the bathroom!
so fun! my kids could use this in the bathroom- set the timers so they all go off after 5 minutes in the shower.
My girls take 3 hour showers – I may need to try this!
Love your collection and how you have it displayed, Kelly. Oh yeah – I’m terrified of spiders!
I hate spiders – but spiders on mimes riding ferris wheels would be the ultimate terror!
Oh what a great collection and a fabulous “cubbie” to house them in!….I anxiously await your progress on your “tiny powder room makeover” as I have one and I love your inspiration Kelly!!!
My tiny bathroom thanks you – hopefully it won’t take another 8 months!
I too have a passion for vintage clocks, have a few scattered around the house, when I get enough to display as a “collection” I’ll be looking for the right way to display…love your inspirations!
I’m with ya’ with your fears…same here, add fear of flying to the list…it’s funny, I feel like if I could pilot the plane I would be fine, but sitting there feeling every bump and hiccup and wonder how the wings are staying on….scary especially if flying over water…there are sharks in the water! lol!
It only takes 3 to make a collection – get those clocks together and display away! I’ll be thinking of the sharks below me on my next flight!
I too am working (forever it seems) on the worlds second (I guess) smallest bathroom! And I too totally dig clocks! You may have solved a couple of dilemmas for me here!
I think I’m afraid of thinking too much about what I’m afraid of…..
Thanks for the inspiration!

Looks like our powder rooms are neck to neck for world’s smallest award! Why is it that we always stall when it comes to our own homes but it’s easy to help others?!
love that clock display! I’m happy I’m not the only one with that particular obsession. I do admit I’ve almost driven myself crazy at times with all the ticking so I’ve removed the battery from a bunch of them off. now they’re just eye candy, but you risk missing Fixer Upper if you rely on my clocks 🙂
Mine aren’t ticking either – eye candy only here too!
I collect little vintage clocks too!!! This is the perfect solution for me! Thank you for sharing.
Hello fellow clock collector!
Kelly you are so funny and a joy to read. I love the shelf and all your wonderful clocks.
Hi Kelly … really love your collection of clocks and the cute shelf for display. I have a few small ones in our newly remodeled shower. Don’t know how many of them work … too much trouble to keep wound up.

Oh mine aren’t working either Audrey – the constant click click click would drive me nuttier than I already am!
Thanks Marlene – I’m honing my comedy act to take it on the road!
the cubby shelf from Target you chose is perfect for your collection!
any updates on the powder room?
Unfortunately no! I need to get moving!
