New Clocks!!!

This post is mostly so that our family can see that we finally filled the blank space above our mantle! Finally! We moved into this house about 2 1/2 years ago. Every time we have family come visit, everyone always says we need something big to fill the space above the mantle. As you can see in the following pictures our family room is 18 feet high and we finally found something!

This is the before picture to give you an idea of
the space we were looking to fill.



And here is the after.

We found these clocks at Home Decorators Collections. This is Chris' company. We were in the store here last weekend looking at Christmas decorations and came across these clocks. I thought they would be perfect for above the mantle. I have wanted a big clock for this space ever since we moved in, but never found any I liked.

Here is a closeup. The big one in the middle is for Local Time. Then the smaller ones are for times in Los Angeles, New York, Beijing, and London.

Do you think they are on the right place on the wall? I'm not sure if they need to be a little lower or not. Let me know what you think!

I think they're really cool, I've never seen anything like them. I have an alcove above my fireplace and it took forever to find something just right to put there.
