137th Power of Paint Party… Shimmer’izing a Clock

Welcome Paint Lovers to the weekly Power of Paint Party… a party about paint and only paint.  A place for you to share your paint projects and be inspired by all the awesome paint goodness linked up.

I’ve been looking for a new clock for our family room since I painted it last year.  We had a giant clock above the mantel, but I wanted a change.

Last time we were visiting my parent’s house, my mom mentioned she had a spare clock in their extra bedroom.  After seeing it, I loved the size… but knew I wanted to give it a little paint updating.

The outer clock ring was a little too “cherry” for my décor… so I grabbed some of my acrylic paints and a foam brush.

I used painter’s tape to project the glass.

I was going for a worn silver look.  I started with a base coat or DecoArt’s Americana in Driftwood.

After it dried I brushed on a coat of DecoArt’s American Gloss Enamels in Shimmering Silver.

Love it’s shimmery goodness…

Oh how I love paint!  So what have you been painting?

  4. Many of my favorite makeovers have been the ones that are quick to do with  supplies already on hand. Love your clock now! Oh how nice would it be if they invented an easy way to tape off circular pieces. Thanks for hosting such a great party!
