✥ Mantel Clock Makeover ✥

This was a fun little makeover!
My husband got this outdated, uh...ugly clock for Christmas {from my brother, thanks for nothin Lee.}
It has sat on the bottom shelf of our side table since Z received and yes, Z LOVES it! Me, not so much, I move it whenever I take pics for this little blog.

But her time has come, this little lady {I think it's a feminine piece} is headed for an extreme makeover.

I decided our living room, when it's finally put together, will need another pop of turquoise. So that decided the color choice. I removed the face and then she needed a light sanding then two light coats of Kilz primer. I used Valspar's Petrol Blue and Krylon's Metallic Silver for the metal frame around the face. I glazed her with a white glaze before the clear coat.

For the face makeover I downloaded a clock face {basically just numbers} and printed it on a misty grey, honeycomb background which I love.


Incidentally, have you seen these awesome pattern pieces from Sprik Spaces? I can think of a zillion uses for them and they come in 25 colors so get over there and let your imagination run wild.

There you have it-a much-much, oh,  ever so much-much, so muchly much-much more improved upon clock. {Name that book, if you can!}

I can leave the clock out when I take photos now.  ☺ 

My favorite part is the new face. I think the honeycomb design behind the numbers is so, so fun!  

AND, Z likes it, which is great cause it IS his clock!

Thanks for reading!
