Fall Back..... In Love with Clocks

I love clocks. They are sophisticated pieces of art and their elegance has not been altered by technology.

Yes, I love clocks... but in their place. In an office, a hallway, even a living room. Just make sure you place them correctly. Never place a clock in visual space of where you try to relax.  If placing a clock in a living room, place it over the sofa where you don't see it when you're sitting down, not over the fireplace. Also, test the clock and its noise before you place it. If it's too loud, the noise will be agitating to both you and your guests, creating the feeling of urgency in a place meant for relaxation. If it's too loud but you like the way it looks, taking the battery out and considering it a piece of art is completely acceptable.

Have your clocks and enjoy them too!! I like my bedside clocks minimal in size and old fashioned in style. Place a silver clock with an old fashioned silver hairbrush, a couple small vases with flowers, and some antique books for a truly luxurious antique vanity feel.

I love this worldly clock that I have in my office bookcase. All it needs is a fashion book under it from each city!
