since there are only a few more days before i rip all these decorations down. (and happily look forward to Thanksgiving) i figured i’d show you a little of what halloween looks like around here this year.
here is where my EEK frames ended up.
thought these glittered spiders looked fun crawling through my topiaries.
each year i get so excited to add another picture to my frame collection.
i’m up to 5 straight years of Halloweens!!
i love being able to look back at past costumes and how the kids have changed from one year to the next.
added some cute little bats to my clock wall.
i love having a plate rack and changing out the plates for each holiday!

i had to have a tree branch like everyone else this year! i used little clothes pins and attached wallet sized halloween photos to mine.  next year i want LARGE branches. so i can fit lots of fun pictures!!

 well that’s pretty much it.
don’t forget to take some fun pictures of your decorations.
i think it’s fun to be able to look back on those types of things. what i wouldn’t give to be able to see how my grandmas used to decorate for halloween. hmmm. i’ll have to ask them if they even did??

  4. okay…your decor is fabulous. Just awesome. I have to ask where the adorable owl came from that is next to your EEK. So cute!

    Thanks for the great inspiration! Looking forward to taking my pic @ 5:00.

  7. WOW! Love it all! I have made a bunch of Halloween decorations this year and didn't even think about putting them on my entertainment center. DUH!! Thanks for the inspiration! There's only so much room on top of my piano. 😉

  8. I love the photos from past Halloweens. Such a great, yet simple, idea. And your tree branch is fun with the photos, too. Thanks for the inspiration.

  9. I love your decorations, so cool and classy. The tree branch is a neat idea, will save it for next year. I bring out my holiday frames and pictures every year too.

{around the house} the clock wall

Jul292010 posted by 48 Comments

my family and friends will tell you…
i’m the best at being indecisive.
and i’m the perfect procrastinator.
i am jennifer.
those are two talents i wish i wouldn’t have been blessed with.
where does all that useless info fit into this post you ask?
well i’ve had this idea for a clock collection in my head for a couple of years now. so i finally bought all the clocks and then let most of them sit under a bed for the last 4 months. just waiting for someone to come hold my hand and help me decide how to do it.
finally my sisters came to my rescue.
so we…
 put my niece to work cutting out kraft paper in the shapes of my clocks.
that way, we could move things around and get them exactly where we wanted them without putting a hundred holes in the wall.
when everything looked right. we measured for the nail holes and hammered the nails in.
then we took off the paper and hung my clock collection.
then i fell in love… and wondered why the heck i waited so long to get them up there.
oh and just in case you are wondering…
large black clock came from target. yellow one came from a store we have here in vegas and utah called rodworks. (a couple years ago though) and the 3 smaller clocks were bought at hobby lobby for 50% off.
… 
so is it weird to have a clock collection? my hubby doesn’t get it?
do you have any collections?

  3. I totally understand the husband not getting it…mine is the same way! I LOVE the clocks and was considering doing something similar. Now that I've seen your's, I might just have to get on that project! Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. it looks great! I collect Peruvian churches & crosses (my favorites are the crosses our boys find me when they are up at the cabin made from pine tree branches). My boys have a wind up toy collection which they love too!

  5. No real collections here, but I am a procrastinator too! I have lists, sketches, little odds & ends of things that I am constantly putting together for a "Wouldn't this look cool!". Of course I'm always waiting for more time, more $$$, etc. before they are completed! Bravo to you for completing it and thanks for making me feel a tad bit better about a weakness I have.

  8. Your wall of clocks is incredible!!! I absolutely love it! I wish I had more walls to do something similar =) I collect picture frames!

  10. I was just wondering the other day if it was alright to have two clocks in the same room. It looks great!! I really like that little cuckoo looking clock 😉

  12. love your clock collection – one of my great friends also has one of these in her home and it fills an entire wall (so cool). yours looks great!

  13. I LOVE the clocks!! I love collections like this. I'm trying to find a *collection* to do myself. Only I too am indecisive and a procrastinator. And also a perfectionist. (I actually did a post awhile ago where I stated this same thing.) Not a great combo…so I totally know where you're coming from. Yeah for finally getting them up!

  16. I LOVE it! But in all fairness I've been plotting to do something really similar but I need more clocks and apparently a Hobby Lobby. Ultimately I plan to set the hands at the times of my children's births and the time at which we got married, just for fun. It looks really fantastic and I feel even more confident in my choice to do a clock wall. Well done!

  17. That's awesome! I have wanted to do something like this for my mom with all her kids' different time-zones on each clock…..now I guess I'm really going to have to do it 🙂 🙂
    Thanks for the inspiration!

  18. I have a clock collection too! Most of mine are not the kind that hang on the wall though. I have them everywhere and most of them do not keep time. Love, love, love them and everybody that comes to my home loves them too!

    Reply

  19. I think it is an awesome idea! Although, I might purposely put them at different times and label them all "daddy time," "mommy time" etc. : )

    And, my husband doesn't understand my decor either. Probably a "guy thing."

  21. This looks just lovely! I like to collect cricut cartridges ;)! Do you go to Hobby Lobby in Utah? We don't have one here in Vegas, yet?! But they are opening one in the end of August at Stephanie and Sunset! Whoot Whoot! Thanks for the fun idea!

  24. What a great and simple project! And i like how they mirror some of the plates that you have over the window with the yellow, black and white. Good job even if it wasn't intentional!

    Will be sure to keep up with your great blog!

  25. i love the clock collection. i started a camera collection recently. i currently have 3. they are metal ones that i picked up at hobbylobby and the crowded house in az. i have a little ceramic one and am on a mission to aquire my uncles 4×6 reporters camera. i have them in my scrapbook room to remind me its all about the photo and the story behind it.
    happy collecting

  26. My mom has a clock collection (HUGE!), and I think we've all inherited her love of clocks. She has 5 grandfather clocks, a couple of cuckoo clocks, and so many wall and mantel clocks that it makes one's head spin. I have a big grandfather clock, a cuckoo clock, a big one on my bedroom wall, one above the mantel, one in the dining room, two in the office, and one in each child's bedroom!

  29. It's not odd at all — it's a collection that is totally cool. You could even set them for different time zones, if you wished — so you would always know what time it is in Playa Del Carmen! Ok — between you and me — we just talked me into doing this too! Definite bookmark, and a new follower for you. Please stop by my place and if you are inspired, follow me in return. I'm also having a spray painter giveaway.

  36. Love the clocks…yes I have a collection of dust bunnies. my husband doesn't get these either but I have told them he can get rid of the collection any time he wants 🙂

    Reply

  38. Love it! My hubby wouldn't get it either, but if it were up to him we wouldn't hang anything on the walls because he is afraid of nail holes! What a silly thing to be afraid of 🙂 You are one of my new favorite blogs to follow! Love all of your ideas and the well explained and beautifully presented explanations! Keep em' coming!

  41. I have several clocks too. 3 of them I have stopped at very specific times…the time my kids were born. My oldest two know which clocks are there's and think it's pretty cool. My youngest has no idea yet, but I am sure he will feel the same. Our kids are 2,4, and 7.

  45. I LOVE the clocks! Just wish I had a wall big enough to do it on! BTW- I also love the description. I too am Jennifer and your description fits me to a tee!

    Reply

  46. it must come with the name because i am the SAME way! And I most definitely have cut out brown paper hanging on my wall right now helping me decide how to organize my living room wall!

  48. Fantastic idea! I grew up with a mom who insisted upon clocks with roman numerals. Your clock wall is super and so is the craft paper placement step.
