So yes, I love clocks...not the digital-annoying-wake-you-up kind, but lovely clocks with detailed hands and rustic faces. I was sad the day this one no longer worked. He is big and grand, but sadly not in the misfit closet. So I pulled him out the other day determined to find a use for his lovely face.
Remember this Goodwill table?
Well, if you add a large clock face to a kinda-boring table, you get a one-of-a-kind side table with just a touch of whimsy!
Yes, it is possible that your hubby may look at you sideways, but you might just fall in love.

After:
When the weather gets a bit warmer, I might give that base a nice coat of black...or maybe find a new home for my lovely clock face altogether.
Ah, the beauty of an ever evolving home!
A larger table? check
A use for my lovely clock? check
A fun unique piece? check
Hubby renewed love for my creative side? we will see!

What a great use of that clock. I think it makes that table look better. And I love the whimsy factor that it adds to your room.
Great idea! I love the way it looks!
love the new table!!
Oh my gosh, that is an idea I've been thinking of doing to a small, plain side table myself, Chelsea! I think that's a great alternative for such a great looking clock.
That clock face looks great as a table top!! Great idea : )
That's what I call quick, easy and fun decorating...I think it looks great!
Love it. I'm looking for a Craigslist table right now to paint a clock face on. Love how yours came together.

This is sooo awesome!! A friend of mine gave me a clock the same size because it didn't work..guess what I'm going to do with it!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love it!
What a great idea! Love it!
Ha! I have the same clock I turned into a table too. The clock was great but unfortunately it didn't work for very long.
You are brilliant! This looks so classy. Just think what something like that would cost in a high end furniture store. You are good! :)

Love this time table!!
This is such a cute and easy idea, Chelsea. I have a large clock that I may not get working again, this is some great inspiration.
This is so cool, that you put them together! What a cozy little corner! Love it!
