Equip your livingroom floor with large roataing rings - one for the hour, and another for the minutes. Enough space must be reserved on each disk to allow room for your favorite recliner, loveseat and couch, and in the center on the minute disk, place a round, or some symmetrical coffee table. The minute
disc would rotate slowly, say every 5-10 minutes as to not grossly out-spin the hour disc. With the major furnishings traveling on the hour disc, you can coordinate your morning coffee and TV news program as not to be blinded by your east-facing windows, and in the evenings, enjoy a romantic sunset with your special one on the loveseat. Great for parties and entertaining guests, the room would spin slow enough as not to give your guests motion sickness, and provide that highly sought-after upscale rotating ballrooom effect. Need to know what time it is? just look at where the carat is in relation to the numbers, and you're set!

excuse me, my head is spinning... |

One poorly done illustration coming right up! |
|
|
I do like the idea of the furniture being in different locations depending on the time of day. |
|
|
('fort, that illustration is gi-normous. Could you shrink down the dimensions a tad?) |
|
|
I did already, but I can't afford to go much smaller and keep everything fairly legible. I'll see what I can do for ya ... |

|
A small aarow or indicator to tell time with. |

This saves all that time and effort it takes to move furniture around! (+) |

Well, you could still spin it if you wanted to, bliss. Spin the bottle would be a lot more interesting. |
