DIY Idea: Industrial Clock Revamp
Posted by Erin | Filed under Design Tips, Inspiration, Musings, Solutions
File this under “I Cannot Believe I Didn’t Think Of This,” then promptly get to work creating a seriously genius project…
Spotted at Brigg, I’m simply amazed at how a skinny belt (from H&M, no less!) can elevate even the most basic of Ikea clocks. By drilling (or hot glue-gunning, I’m hoping?) a leather belt to the frame of a less-than-gorgeous clock, you can achieve a unique timepiece dripping with style.
So easy, right? My jaw has officially dropped!

Time and Space
Posted by Erin | Filed under Inspiration, Musings
Sometimes I play little design games to entertain myself, and today's game of 'Time and Space' is no different. Although I like to pretend that time doesn't exist, it very much does. So naturally, in my head, every room needs a continual reminder of that existence, through a (preferably well-designed) clock. Yet so many of my favorite interiors are missing clocks… until now.
In 'Time and Space', I'll match my favorite clocks with their perfect spacious counterparts. Ready to play along?:
[Clock: Contemporary Heaven, Room: Per Gunnarsson]
In a stark modern space, an artful and graphic clock is the perfect accent for bright white walls.
The juxtaposition of bold reds and pretty pinks is enough to make any glamour girl swoon. And the simplicity of this sweet clock will balance busy stacks of books perfectly!

Any kid needs a reliable alarm clock that's as bright as it is fun. Bonus? He won't lose it in his dirty laundry.
[Clock: HORNE, Room: Nice*Room]
For a space that's equal parts industrial and midcentury-modern, an old schoolhouse clock fits the bill. And that empty wall above the desk is just screaming for some timely love!
All in good time, I suppose.
