Bought at Fun Fabulous Finds Resale at one of their first 25¢ Parking Lot Sales.
My before picture is not very good, but that was the only one I took when I brought it home. It is lighter maple than what it shows against that dark cedar wall. I was so shocked to see it in the 25¢ Sale as when I saw in hanging in their store, it looked like an expensive clock. I looked back on my photo chip of the Resale Store and found this picture where it was hanging in the store.
I removed the clock works and spray painted it gray and painted the frame around the clock face black. Added the Crown, Flu De lei, and French signature graphic from The Graphic Fairy.
Notice the pretty Fleur-De-lei around the clock face.
I did the laser transfers with a hot iron. This was not successful over the paint as it pulled the paint off ... so I just sanded all the paint off in those areas and ironed it directly to the bare wood. Looks great.
The shelves swing (rotate) and can be place in different positions. The shelves are not very big, but big enough for a small picture or vase. Great clock for 25¢ ...
Thanks for your visit.
Hope you enjoy seeing this make-over.
Do you think this clock is worth 25¢ ????

I guess it was a quarter because no one else wanted the clock, and couldn't see the beauty that you were able to bring out in that old clock.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! It looks amazing!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have passed the clock up because I didn't like the shelves. Redesigned and done with your display, I love it! And, only a quarter! ~ Maureen
