This room was my baby, and it's for my baby, so today I'm going to show you more pictures than a proud grandma stores in her wallet. Let's go!

Speaking of Secondhand Chic, can you get any more chic than a Mercedes hubcap clock? This particular hubcap might be a scarce commodity at a flea market, but if you do come across one, by all means grab it up. Hubcap art isn't especially my taste, but this Mercedes clock is smart! I especially like it that the artist used the open circle, mod hands which tie in nicely to the cutout edge of the hubcap. Here's all you need to make your own… Continue Reading
Maybe the Coolest Clock EVER!
Designer Ross McBride’s ‘Normal Clock’ is anything but. It has a laser-cut opening that acts as the hour hand. As the panel sweeps around, it reveals the hour while the minute and second had behave as expected. It’s 8.5" in diameter, made of stainless steel and all yours for $199. There’s also a wristwatch version for $219. Both are available at Generate.
The Projection Clock
This projector from Plow & Hearth throws the face of a working clock upon any flat surface. At ten feet, the clock’s face is 3 feet in diameter, whereas the projector itself is only 7" x 6". The clock’s brightness and focus are both adjustable, and at 100 bucks a pop, they even throw in the AAA battery you need to run the thing.
One Quarter of an Hour?
Consider Uncommon Goods’ Infinity Wooden Wall Clock. Yes, it’s missing about 3/4 of what we’ve come to expect in clocks. According to the retailer, this absence is an exercise for the viewer: visualize the rest of the numbers to determine what time it is. The battery operated, 11.5" L x 11.5" timepiece can be yours for 35 bucks.
