So, you are redecorating the house. You have done all of the repainting, have all new linens you need, and those perfect pillows for the couch. Now, what else do you need as a finishing touch? That clock on the wall now looks totally out of place with all the new colors. Now that it has caught your eye, you begin scouting out all the other clocks in the house and come back with the same conclusion. It is the same in all the rooms. Your clocks are behind the times. Now it is time to begin a hunt for all new clocks.
You pull out your handy little notebook that has been your trusted sidekick throughout the redecorating process. It has all the color swatches for every room in the house, as well as pictures of each room as it was finished. You gather all the kids into the minivan and head out to start the hunt for new clocks.
On the way into town, you begin thinking over the house and decide to begin in the high traffic areas, like the kitchen, living room, family room, dining room and bathroom. You had better include the guest room too. This is going to take a lot of clocks.
For the kitchen, you choose a shiny red clock that is a perfect match to all the new red appliances. It is a square clock with hands shaped like a fork and knife. The numbers are large so that it will be easy to read when you are busy with the kitchen chores. You love it and it is perfect.
In the living room, you had wanted something that would match those perfect new pillows, but it just was not to be had, so you settle for a nice clock with a wooden frame, which is an exact match for the newly finished front door. It was not quite what you had in mind, but it will look great over the fireplace.
Next up is the dining room. This one is easy. There is a perfect black wood framed clock that is an exact match for the new dining table.
Since you have decorated the family room in retro style, you are going to need to stop at a different store to pick up that clock.
Now it is time to choose a clock for the bathroom. Hey, if the girls see a clock in there they might spend a few minutes less in the mornings. Of course, it has to be the rubber ducky clock. After all, 'Rubber ducky, you're the one.'
In the guest room, you choose a replica of an old fashioned alarm clock. It plugs in, so the guests will not have to set it when they arrive or listen to it ticking. The bell alarm should be sufficient to wake even the heaviest sleeper.
Now it is time to head home and see how all those clocks are going to complete your decorating of the home. Clocks may not make the biggest difference in the overall scheme of redecorating, but they certainly are the final touch.
Clocks For The Home
You are almost finished redecorating your home. The walls have all been repainted, the linens are all new and you have even found the perfect throw pillows for the sofa. Now, it just seems that there is something missing. There it is, it is the clock on the wall. It is so out of place in your perfect room. As a matter of fact every clock in the house seems wrong. After all the work, why should the clocks ruin the effect of all your hard work? You had better take the time to find some new clocks.Since all your notes, paint chips and fabric swatches have been kept in your little notebook you pull it out, gather up the kids and head to the store to buy the correct clocks that will add the final finish to all your rooms. Once everyone is in the SUV, your're off.
As you drive into town, you think about each room and decide that you need to start in the public places of the hours. You will need new clocks for the living room, kitchen, dining room, the family room and the bath. Additionally you had better replace that antique in the guest room that seems to have developed a mind of its own lately. Seriously, why should the guest room alarm clock wake everyone in the house at 4:25 in the morning, even when the alarm is turned off and no one is in the room.
Since you chose those shinny red appliances for the kitchen, that square red clock with the fork and spoon for hands will be perfect. The large sized numbers will come in handy when you are drinking the morning coffee without your glasses.
You had hoped for a coordinating color to those new pillows for the living room, but the colors available were not quite right, so you settle for a wooden framed clock that matches the new coffee table. It was not what you had originally wanted, but it is a beautiful clock and will look great in that room above the fireplace.
Choosing a clock for the dining room will be easy. There is one that is an exact match for the black dining table and chairs. The face is even a match for the upholstery.
The family room, with its retro style is going to take a very special clock. Perhaps you should wait and do some online shopping for clocks in order to find the perfect match.
Now this may seem weird to some people, but you have promised yourself that you will put a clock in the bathroom for the girls. They need to start taking responsibility to finish in there in time for school and a clock may be just the ticket. Rubber ducky clock is the winner.
To replace that persnickety guest room clock you choose a replica of an old fashioned alarm clock with the bells on the top. It is electric, so you are not going to have to listen to its insistent ticking, but the alarm is nice and loud so that it will wake up grandpa when he comes to visit.
You have done well. You have found all the clocks you came to get except that one special clock you hope to find online.
