Are you like me and need some new decorating ideas that will not cost you a fortune? Here is one that I would like to share with you. That said I would like to ask you if you have ever thought of decorating with clocks. My favorite is using an inexpensive large wall clock and letting it stand alone as the focal point of the whole wall it occupies. Now days they make clocks as beautiful as any other piece of art and from what I have seen they can be bought cheaper.
Just a few facts below. Did you know:
Clocks have been around for thousands of years. They are used to break down the measurement of time. Did You know that there are:
86400 seconds in a day
3600 seconds in an hour
1440 minutes in a day
60 minutes in an hour
24 hours in a day
Just a little history. There are several reasons I have started using the inexpensive large wall clock. Here is a short list to name a few.
1. They are a large piece of art that dose not cost as much as a picture of the same size.
2. Some of the clocks they have today are prettier that the pictures they have on the market.
3. We all need a way to keep up with what time it is.
4. If you are like me and can not see good anymore then an inexpensive large wall clock could serve as a beautiful piece of art and an easy way of keeping up with the time.
5. They make wonderful gifts for birthdays or Christmas.They even have clocks now that talk and help kids learn to tell time.
The inexpensive large wall clocks are my favorite because they can be used in so many places and be the center of attention. A great focal point is a must have for any room. So why not one that will tell you the time also. A large clock can take over the whole wall without any help. It is a stand alone focal point. Here is just a partial list of the places you can use the inexpensive large wall clocks.
1.Living Rooms
2.Family Rooms
3.Master Bedrooms
4.Bedrooms
5.Kids Rooms
6.Study
7.Bathrooms
8 Porches
9.Entrance Ways
10.Hall Ways

Here’s a photo of some beautiful custom walnut dining furniture sent to us by Robert T in Connecticut. Robert basically designed the buffet himself. He started with our Large Vertical-Buffet Media Center and had us craft it with just one side cabinet instead of two. He also increased the height of the unit from 60″H to 67″H. I think it came our beautifully.
Robert also customized our Round Back Chair. This is a chair we typically offer in cherry only, but Robert called to ask if we could craft it in walnut. Since we only make this chair style a couple times each year he had to wait, but he was willing to do that and look how nice they turned out!
The dining room set was completed with our Modern Contemporary Dining Table in solid walnut. The finish for the set is a hand-rubbed Danish oil.
Congrats to Robert for designing such a beautiful dining set. Enjoy!

For many homeowners there comes the inevitable time when there is just too little space in his or her home. Maybe there are more family members than there used to be, maybe the homeowner has taken on one too many hobbies, or maybe an adult child has decided to move back in. There are a number of solutions to this problem which can be a drastic as moving to a new house, or as (relatively) simple as knocking down or putting up a wall. The addition of a “back room” may seem an obvious solution, but it brings along its own issues. Any home renovation project that expands the footprint of the original structure will be subject to city and counting zoning laws, and it may be contrary to the goals of the home improvement project to decrease valuable yard space. A home renovation that goes up, adding a room or an entire upper story might be a tempting project, but can also have its fair share of downsides. One such con is that going up is an awfully big project just to add a studio or rec room.
What many people are discovering is that the not-so-obvious but extremely practical and economical solution is to go underground. With many basements sitting cold, dark, and unused many people are sitting right on the extra space they’ve always dreamed of, which could be very useable with a relatively quick and painless home renovation project.
There are some quick questions to ask oneself before committing to a home renovation project like finishing the basement, such as how much it is currently used, and how much it will be used? For what will the finished basement be used? What is the spending limit for finishing the basement? Who will do the actual home repairs, will it be you, or will you hire someone? Once these basics have been worked out, there is a world of possibility for what that basement space could be. If hosting frequent guests, it may be a great area to house a spare bedroom and bathroom. For those with lots of kids and their friends running around, basements make great big playrooms in the winter, and nice cool gathering spots in the summer. Some households go the luxury route and add a home theater, exercise room, or hot tub under the house, while others just use the finished basement as more efficient storage or a laundry facility.
Whatever the finished basement is to be used for, before getting started on this home renovation project homeowners will want to consider a basement window replacement. Letting lots of natural light down into a finished basement is really what changes it from a basement into another room of the home. Homeowners may choose an awning windows window replacement, where windows crank out, slider windows which simply slide back and forth, or hopper windows, which tilt inside. To make the house seem like it has an extra floor, some homeowners work with landscaping to add patio doors with lead right out of the basement. However each individual homeowner decides to do it, finishing the basement is a home improvement project that will multiply the size of his or her home.
When starting a home renovation project, a great place to start is by getting advice from the Pros like those at Sears. From home repair to decoration, Sears helps homeowners improve their homes with affordable style.
