A Gaudy Old Clock Becomes A Glamorous New Mirror

Today I wanted to share with you one of my latest "gaudy to glam" transformations, that I'm so excited about!

Last week while out thrifting, I was super excited to find a vintage Burwood wall clock, and matching sconces. The set was in excellent condition, and I was surprised to see that the clock still worked perfectly.

But it was, well, let's just say not all that pretty!   I knew right away what I was going to do.

So, after removing the clock face and mechanism (which I'll save for a future project), and giving her a really good and much needed bath, I painted her my favorite creamy dreamy white!A bit of distressing, and she was almost there!

Then, in place of the clock face, I epoxied in a new round mirror, which just happened to fit perfectly!

What a difference, don't you think?!

Here is what she first looked like.  Pretty dated, and long overdue for a facelift!!

I am so happy with her now!  Just look at all of her amazing details, that just got lost in all of that boring brown and gaudy gold!

It's amazing what a little paint and tlc can do, don't you think?

And here are the matching sconces.  Love, love, love!

Which looked like this when I discovered them!  (ugh!)

I've put the mirror and sconces in my Etsy shop, if you'd like to take a peek!

Now go out and find something to transform!
