This clock has been siting in my living-room, unpainted, sanded-down, and ready to go for a LONG time!!!!
Finally I drug it into the garage and got started...
The problem was, I didn't know what color or style to paint it....
So, a solid color it would be: but now, which color?
- White....
I don't know why, but I decided against it....
- Yellow?
- Finally I just did it: mint-green it is...
and I like it: I am happy with my decision.....
I had been looking for a grandfather clock on Craigslist for a long time, but never saw one I liked...
They were all too square-ish.
So one day I walked into the thrift store, and there it was.
The exact shape I was looking for....
BUT.... It was more than I was willing to pay...
AND it had some issues, it needed some minor repairs...
Talked to the manager. Was not willing to negotiate on price...
So I just stood there.....
A LONG time...
Twenty minutes, thirty, I don't know....
My daughter was getting tired of it and said: "Let's go Mom!"
But Mom wouldn't budge....
That's when I knew I HAD to buy it....
I couldn't part from it...
Isn't that terribly materialistic of me?
Then I added a brown glaze that my neighbor just gave me from her stash last week {she was moving out of state, and couldn't take it with her... Thanks Michele! Enjoy your new adventures....!}.
