There are few of us who can even remember what life was before the Internet. I know that I, for one, have many younger nieces and nephews that are unaware that such a life existed, as they have always pointed and clicked for what they have wanted. I also know that there are many, many times [...]
In the last post, I related my history with clocks; how clocks had always played an integral part of my childhood experience when it came to home decoration. Clocks were all over my childhood home, as well as the home of my grandparents; grandfather clocks, mantel clocks, atomic clocks, wall clocks, and so forth. But when [...]
Clocks and I have always had a very special relationship. My parents (and grandparents before them, as a matter of fact) had a grandfather clock in their home, as well as a collection of many different kinds of clocks in different rooms of their houses – mantel clocks, atomic clocks, wall clocks – so ingrained in [...]
There are those rooms that take on a life of their own; rooms that may have taken on a role for which they were not initially intended. I call my room “garage room” and it was obviously intended as a garage space as its name implies. That’s the way it was constructed anyway – to house [...]

I have a friend who is a collector of many things. She has made a hobby of combing the antique stores and the yard sales in her area for the fun and funky, the interesting and the unique. When you go into her house you are immediately struck by the groupings of items of all kinds [...]

There is, of course, the livability factor; making the kitchen and bathroom something comfortable and reflective of your personal style makes utilizing those rooms that much more enjoyable. And then, of course, there is [...]
In terms of redecorating a home, the kitchen and bathrooms are easily among the most tackled rooms in the home. This is for a number of reasons. For one, to be sure, we spend as much time in these rooms as we are likely to spend anywhere else in the home and it’s important for us [...]
If you want an affordable and really fresh way to perk up your décor in a way that is completely in line with your own style, consider clocks. Shopping online has allowed us to access some of the best products available in the marketplace; and logistically speaking it is not at all necessary that we be [...]
