… I’ve been inspired to make clocks.
They’re cute and they’re funky,
to useful from junky.
Hickory dickory dock.
(Okay, so I’m officially a big nerd.)
So, here’s the story. Once upon a time, there was a sad cabinet door in the free pile at the Habitat Restore.
His brothers were repurposed into new cabinet doors for a fantastic armoire, but his second life was to take on a little more unexpected a form.
With just some on-hand paint, the workings from a $1.50 thrift store clock, and a DiscHanger that I got in my Tour de Thrift goody bag, Mr. Nobody-would-even-pay-a-buck-for-me-at-the-Restore took on a fun new persona as quite fantastic clock! :)
I’m so inspired! I want to go out and make everything into a clock! Be on the look out. We may just have to change our name to Clocks-R-Us. ;)

You are just so talented! I love it. I just love turquoise and read together!
ReplyDeleteLovely! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! I admire your vision to see the beauty in the junk. :) Don't you just LOVE the restore. You can get things for so cheap...and give to charity at the same time. It's a win win.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've transformed many of those doors from the ReStore. Chalkboards, painted signs, cork bords.....so many possibilities, though I never considered a clock :) Going on my list!
ReplyDeleteOH GREAT! More self-control to not drop everything Im doing and go make a clock. Thanks for the inspiration... love the color combo and general design! Absolutely funky fresh my friend.

ReplyDeleteSO CUTE! I love this idea! Im in the process of starting a business& I've revamped several cabinet doors to the usual chalk boards or serving trays but I've never seen one made into a clock before. I think I might have to "borrow" your idea. Check out my blog of you get a chance www.revampedhomefurnishings.blogspot.com
