I recently realized that I don’t own any sort of wall clock or standing clock. I definitely have clocks around (on my TV, my microwave, my computer, my coffee maker and my cell phone) but I don’t actually own a clock that stands alone as a clock. How strange.

I had some really cool clocks growing up. At one point in time, my bedroom was decorated in black and hot pink. (What can I say, I was ten.) I had a clock that matched that decor. Later, I got a blue speckled wall clock that set a moer calming tone for the room. And although I never got one, I eventually longed for one of those cool digital clocks that displays the date and time in LED lights that hover in the air.

Now that I’ve noticed that I don’t have a wall clock, I realize that it’s been a really long time since I’ve had a wall clock. I don’t particularly need one but I do think that they add something to a room. I’ve been exploring different options for clocks. What I’m enjoying most is the retro or vintage style of wall clock. This makes sense since this is the vibe already going in my kitchen which is where I’d be most likely to hang a wall clock. A style like the one pictured above is what I have in mind but I’m curious about what else is out there.

Any other SmartChicks (or SmartGuys) happen to know a good place to start looking for a modern retro kitchen clock (preferably with a red design)?
