Decorating Advice and Paint Colors

I think that every family should have a real heirloom piece, a piece of furniture that can be passed down from generation to generation. This can be something as simple as a nice spoon, or a salt shaker, or something elaborate as Grandfather Clocks. I remember that a friend of mine had a grandfather clock in her hallway when I was a kid & I just wanted to stand there & listen to it chime. I was confused as to why she wasn’t in just complete awe that her family owned this.

Right now, most of my furniture is made out of particle board & was mass produced. There isn’t anything that would stand the test of time to be passed from generation to generation. Plus, if I bought a grandfather clock now, I’d get to enjoy it for many years. I was looking through several clocks & was surprised at how these have changed. The grandfather clocks are still finely crafted, but you can choose from all kinds of styles & even finishes, like a black grandfather clock. I think one of the biggest improvements is that you can choose a clock with bigger numbers, it seems like the traditional models were a little difficult to tell time with, which is the whole purpose of a clock to begin with.

My favorite grandfather clock is a city centre clock, like the kinds you see lining the streets in town. It’s just so unusual & would be the conversation piece to any room. There’s an awkward space in the entry way that isn’t big enough to put a chair in, a clock would be perfect there. Grandfather clocks are more hip, more contemporary, but still something every home should have.
