Karen’s Opinion

I am helping a couple choose floor covering for their entire home. The only pieces of furniture that I have to keep in mind are a burgundy leather sofa and an oak grandfather clock. Everything else is subject to change. I even convinced them to update the ceramic on the front of their fireplace. I am having fun with this project.

The leather sofa gave me direction on color and the grandfather clock is guiding me on style. Their house is an English tudor style and I want the floor covering to reflect that. The leather sofa certainly fits and Howard Miller clocks add style to any home. I love the one they have. It is a triple chime with three hanging tubes and is absolutely gorgeous. I am going to recommend that they put it in their foyer which is quite large and needs a piece to make a bold statement. Grandfather clocks certainly make a statement.

I have been reading the blog at 18004clocks to find out the proper way to move the clock. I don’t want to be responsible for messing it up. The blog has a category called Interior Design that has been very helpful. You may not need their design help but if you want to find out the history and other interesting things about clocks you should check out the blog. Howard Miller Clocks add interest to a home and become a family heirloom that many generations will enjoy.
