Bringing it to the 21st Century
For many people, clocks are usually one of the last things they buy for their home with the hopes finding that the timepieces will match the furniture or the overall aesthetic of the house. With so many furniture superstores and big box retailers gearing towards an abstract look, it’s best to look for something in the vein of modern wall clocks.
Even if the look of your house is inspired by 1950′s to 1970′s retro, the modern clock will give a hint of kitsch, and not necessarily in the John Waters sense. I added a neon wall clock to my game room, and it effectively enhanced the ambiance. No home is complete without a clock anyway, lest you expect your guests to ask you to take out your cell phone when they want to know what time it is.
Creating Your Own Bar
Building a bar for your home can be quite fun and easy. You do not need to spend much to have your own bar. All you need is a little imagination and, of course, planning.
The Internet is full of ideas on how to design your own bar. Find a design that complements the rest of your home while still setting your bar apart. Before anything else, determine your budget and prioritize your needs and wants. You may want to save on a wine cooler but splurge on swivel barstools and an authentic bar clock. Everything will depend on your preference. Also, choose accessories that fit into the cabinet space above your bar. There’s nothing worse than buying glasses that are too tall to fit onto your shelves.
