Being in the real estate business, one of the things that I sometimes have to do is help a client stage their home. There is a good blog post about using clocks to stage a home that I found quite informative and it got me interested in buying a clock for my den.

So I’ve been browsing the Internet, looking around for the perfect clock.  I came across a picture of a really cool clock that I want to buy for my den.

This particular clock that I found that I want for my den is a grandfather clock, but I never would have thought of it as a grandfather clock!  It is quite different than any clock I ever would have imagined to be considered a grandfather clock!  I’ve always thought of grandfather clocks as imposing massive wooden structures that take up a large space in a stuffy formal living room, but this one that I found that I like is skinny and sleek and reminds me more of a old fashioned lamp post, or maybe of a clock that you might see in an old train station in an old city.  It’s really cool!

Anyway, the clock that I like is called a Howard Miller City Centre Grandfather Clock, and I found it for sale at 1-800-4clocks.com.  They have a huge variety of clocks, have really great prices, and offer free shipping and free setup in the USA and Canada.
