Ugly Duckling Transformation

Here's the first project of the New Year.

I've been looking for a grandmother's clock that I could transform for some time. When I found this in my travels, I  knew it was coming home with me. 

Here's the Before, not too cute, right.

Here's what I did. First I gave it a good cleaning, removed  the bottom door, cut and attached a new solid wood panel.Removed the tin clock face, painted the wood panel . I cut the numbers out with my  Cricut. Finally I sealed it to give a hand -rubbed look, without the fuss of re-waxing . 

After

I've admired grandmother clocks like this in decorating magazine, I love out it turned out.  Let me know what you think.





What's for Dessert?
