The clock was the first thing I noticed when I entered the room. Having never been in this home
before, for some reason my entire focus was directed to the fireplace mantel clock. It was an ornate
piece that sat in a cathedral shaped cubby just above the fireplace. Then slowly, my eyes wandered
lower to the actual fireplace mantel and below it, the fireplace. A slow burning fire was crackling away
in the fireplace, casting a romantic glow into the remainder of the room. The mahogany bookshelves
that were on both sides of the fireplace held a variety of books, some family pictures, and a few knick
knacks that appeared to be Italian in origin. My eyes wandered back to that mantel clock.
It was at that moment someone in the room spoke to me. I then remembered why
I was there. It was a dinner party for an old friend of another friend. My friend was
sitting on an ottoman sipping a glass of wine while her husband sat on a sofa
behind her. We all chatted for a few minutes, then I excused myself to take a
closer look at the mantel clock that had so captured my attention.
Approaching the fireplace, the mantel clock captured my attention again. I realized one reason it had
captured my curiosity so. The cubby that the clock sat in was illuminated with a small light. Just
enough light to bring out the details of the Italian clock. The clock itself was a very handsome and
ornate piece. Yet it was just one tiny little bulb that illuminated it just enough to cause the intricate
changes between the light and shadows that resulted in a dramatic effect. My memory would hold
this mini snapshot for a long time to come.
Begin with a beautiful mantel clock, and add the proper amount of lighting to
create a masterful effect. Using just a small amount of light, you can create
breathtaking snapshots of your homes special décor items, which also serves to
draw people’s attention away from areas that you may not want to draw
attention to.
