Clock Make Over!

I bought a new clock for the living room.

For some reason, this event did not make national news!!!

Really!??!

Ok, so my life NEVER makes national news but I am

pretty ok with that.

The clock really is new for me and I am excited

to share with you about it.

 

On a trip to Ikea while in Chicago leaving for our trip,

I saw the most amazing blue clock.

Like make my heart beat really fast kind of clock.

However, the clock was HUGE and cost $50.

They had a smaller version, but only in tan, that

cost a mere $11 which fit my budget so much better.

So, I bought the beige/tan clock and knew I could

make it as stunning as the huge one.

 

This is what I did:

This is the clock...pretty as is, but I really wanted blue.

 

 

First, I took off the ring and glass. I had to protect the face of the clock, so I did it with blue painters tape to ensure that I would not tear the face.

Not gonna lie... this was a pain in the neck!

I then took it down to the work shop in the basement and spray painted it a wonderful shade of blue.

I believe it is really close to the shade that the large clock was....aaaaand probably by now they have gotten in a shipment of small blue ones and I just was not patient enough to wait! Who Me? Not patient?

 

I am in love with my new clock!

Eleven dollars, some spray paint, and a small amount of patience....and voile'!!

Impatient or not, I DO have one really good looking clock!!
