Before picture taken at goodwill prior to purchase for 24.99
It was beautiful even before I painted it, just didn't go with the rest of my decor.
Painted it white by first priming using kilz oil based primer then used a gloss white paint.
I added on these appliques, that I actually also found at goodwill for 0.99 cents! I had been waiting for the perfect piece to use them on, and was amazed at how perfect they fit here on the clock. I used Elmer's wood glue to put them on, then placed tape over them while it dried overnight, before I painted over them. I could have glued them on prior to priming and painting the entire clock, but I didn't realize how perfect they were for the clock, until I had already started painting it.
Looks Perfect! like they were always there! I love to add little things like these to my furniture, makes it more my own and custom to my detailed taste.
I have my clock in the hallway between my front formal sitting room & my great room area.
Its one of the very things you see when you come in my front door.
(front door is just to the right of where this photo ends.)
