Mantle Clock Makeover for 0.25 Cents!

Yes everyone, it's TRUE....
I revamped a tarnished little mantle clock for a mere 0.25 cents today!!!  

There are many clocks in my house, I suppose I have a "Clock Addiction".  I collect them and have a hard time turning down even the most beat up of clocks.  As long as it works and has a simple design, I've got to have it.  I even bought a big clock from the Thrift Store and hang it outside so I can keep my eye on the time while I am in the garden.

I have been on this whole Vintage and Shabby Chic thing for quite some time and can't help but look around the house for my next victim...bwahahahaha

Today, I decided that it was time to give the latest addition to my clock collection a little extra attention - the little brass clock.  Well, I think it was brass.  It had hues of silver in the metal, but I couldn't tell as the finish was pretty tarnished.

In order to achieve the finish I wanted on the clock, I used Modge Podge, tissue paper, acrylic paint (antique white and black) and a can of spray varnish (satin finish).
There was an old rectangular piece of green felt on the bottom of the clock to prevent scratching on furniture surfaces so and I pulled it off and replaced with a new piece of black felt.
The end result?  I LOOOOVVVVE IT!!!!!!!!

I will share some of the pics of what the poor clock went through today at The Maison d'Ava Spa...ooops, I mean Design Room...
