My FRAMES clock finally....in my home.

I finally received my frames clock from Dutch by Design! It seemed like FOREVER. Anyhow, I put this up over the weekend, but can't decide whether I should just add more fabric in the '12 ' frame OR cut out fabric into a number '12' & tape it onto another fabric. Basically what I did for the 1 and 7. (You can barely see it in this shot, but click on photos for larger image). What do you think so far? I really like it on the darker wall, which I blogged about here, but a dark wall, doesn't go with my family room.

  2. It looks fantastic! I think you should do numbers for the 12.

  3. Love it!
    I don't think you should do the "12" I think it's better when it's less obvious. I kind of like it blank.

  7. Oh! This is the coolest thing ever. Perfect for your home Jen, I wonder if you inspired the frames clock. :)

    I think you should just add another fabric square to the number 12 frame. In blue.

  24. Brilliant! looks great!!!

  25. This is amazingly creative! Since the 12 is such a focal point for any clock, the head per se, I think it would be fun to set it apart from the other hours and make it bold black roman numerals, maybe with a light color behind it? Good Luck!
