Time is always obvious at the White house. That’s because Nancy White has masterfully arranged a collection of 17 clocks on every wall and some surfaces in the one-bedroom apartment she shares with her husband, Clint. Most of the clocks are chimes, some are cuckoo, one is a plate, all work — and all are old.
Nearly all of the timepieces are holdover inventory from the days when White, 62, ran a popular antique shop in Dallas. But she doesn’t get hung up on the word “antique.” While many of the pieces in her beloved collection of Willow Blue and Flow Blue china sets and the cut glass her father introduced her to decades ago can genuinely be called antiques, she plainly calls them as she sees them: old.
