Tick Tock: French Inspired Wall Clocks

Interior by Carolyn Roehm. Image here.

Once in awhile I'll see a photograph of an interior that I just can't get out of my head - navy blue lacquer walls in a library or chevron tile in an entryway are a few recent ones I can't stop thinking about. This photograph of a home by Carolyn Roehm came across my screen a few weeks ago and took my breath away. It reminded me of the rooms in the Museum Carnavalet in Paris - European and gilded, but livable perfection. I also discovered that finding a vintage French wall clock is easier said than done.  Here are some of my favorites.
