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.
