Giving new color to a clock


How many times have you walked past that “thing” because it was the wrong color?

How many times have you loved “something” but said….it won’t match anything.

How many times have you said …..if I paint it, I may screw it up?
How many?
If you said too many then this post is for you. 
Can I change your mind? 
Can I ask you to be more flexible?
Can I ask you to look at all the color opportunities that may exist behind that teal color clock that I picked up at Home Goods?
Please.

 Remember how I was doing some updates in this room with this table, well I decided to use the same green color for the clock. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the color teal, it just wasn’t the right color for the room. 
To get that real aged look though I needed to paint the clock surface in two steps. 
First step was the undertone in which I painted two coats of brown.

Next, I applied my custom green color in two coats. I finished by lightly sanding the entire clock so my peeks of brown would show through instead of teal.

 Did it work? Did I convince you that not all clocks have to be the color teal and they really can be painted to match in your space? 

Please tell me I did.
I will share the rest of this room with you next week. See you back here on Friday with my weekly wow’s.


Grateful for~
Hope and faith when you really need it most in your life.

  1. You know what? I have a new mirror that has been bugging me because the color is just off … and I've been reluctant to paint it because, well, it's new. But now I'm convinced that I should just do it! Thanks for the inspiration, my friend!

  2. Love the new color-it turned out great. I am a firm believer in trying to repaint something you are not in love with- xo Diana
