Townhome Tuesday: Stick-on Wall Clock

The first Christmas after Zach and I moved into our town home his sister got us a really cute stick-on wall clock from Chiasso. Here's the one she got us:


We loved the clock because it matched our style and was very simple to assemble (you just peel off the backing and each piece adheres to the wall like a sticker) but we held on to it for over a year before putting it up because we knew once we assembled it it would have to stay in the same place for good.

So after we got our new living room furniture and painted our walls, we revisited the clock and found the perfect place for it next to our entertainment unit. I still hesitated with sticking the clock directly to the wall, so we came up with a great idea to stick it onto clear plastic and then mount that piece to the wall.

I found a square piece of plastic at Home Depot that was a perfect size for the clock, and we ordered stand-off wall mounts online. Instead of sticking the pieces to the wall we stuck them to the plastic. Then we drilled 4 holes into the plastic for the wall mounts, screwed the mounting into the wall, and then we were done. It was super easy and I think this change makes the clock look even better. It also makes the whole thing portable so we can move it to another area of the house if we need to. Check it out:
