My love affair with clocks is not over!
My first clock coffee table has been one of my most popular projects, and I also made a clock patio table here. But this new one…may just be my favorite!
When I came across this little solid wood piece at Goodwill, it had to come home with me.
You can see that while the finish is mostly in good shape, there were a few places where it had definitely seen better days!
Thank goodness it didn’t matter for what I had in mind for it!
I painted it with a homemade chalk paint mixture, and then came the fun part…
I raided my paint stash for all the greys, browns, whites, and creams I had…and I didn’t care whether I was working with latex or acrylic! I just wanted layers and layers of color.
I created my graphics with my Silhouette, and painted those on with black latex paint.
Then I went to town with distressing it and making it look “old.”
This was a piece I took with me to the barn sale, but I brought it home. Maybe everyone doesn’t love clocks as much as I do, or maybe round coffee tables are harder to work with!
Whatever the reason…I don’t mind hanging on to it for a little while longer…but it is on Craigslist if you’re in the Seattle area!

Hard to believe it did not sell. I love the graphic you created of the clock face.
I can't believe you didn't sell that baby! Korrie it is the prettiest clock table I've seen! Love the multi-layering and the distressing, it is perfect!

I love it, Korrie! I'd love to try a clock table myself, although I'd probably wind up keeping it. : )
