Design Day Friday: The Clock on the Wall

peaceloveanddecorating.com
Clocks have long been a staple in homes, even revered as fine pieces of engineering and craftsmanship. However, the functional use of wall clocks is almost obsolete. With our myriad of technology and gadgets, most of us look to our phone, computer, dvd player, cable box, stove or microwave for the time. In fact, the days of teaching kids to tell time using the big hand and the little hand are fading into the digital world. But the  beauty of a clock still holds a place in good design. It brings shape, depth and style to a room and also ads a sense of home-y familiarity. Clocks offer an alternative to wall art and can be used to break up a large wall, add to a grouping of art and wall accessories and hang in places that other objects might seem awkward. In an effort to showcase the timeless (pun intended) accessory, I have collected some lovely clocks worthy of hanging in a place of note.

Isn't it about "time" you changed the old clock on the wall? Select a timepiece that really expresses what makes you tick and don't forget to check the time now and then. -Ta
