It's 5 o'clock somewhere....................

Oh God, it's great to be back - my fingers have been itching - let's see, when we left off I had posted about this


which was the bottom part of an old T.V. armoire we had a long time ago - and wasn't sure if I should
go shabby chic with it or reupholster.....................well I sat and  stared at it for a little while ( because that's what I do - I sit and stare at furniture until the idea comes to me ) and while I was sitting and staring and doing nothing I looked up at the clock on the mantel ( to see how long I had been unproductive for ) and an idea was born............


I painted a coat of old white in ASCP - and then used my " template " 




traced my circle around this clock - oh at around 5 to 7 or so, lol



unless you have my clock - and my charger plate and my anchovy decoration you will not be able to
make this - so sorry..............................


this is where I work a little backwards ( did I ever mention that I always paint my ceilings last - ALWAYS - no exceptions to that rule ) so.............. most people would paint the entire top black or at least a good section of it - place their stickers on top - and then repaint the white - not me - that would be far too simple and I really enjoy messing with my brain - I find it challenging.  I painted little patches where I prayed the
stickers would have enough room to go on....................( do you see my pencil lines on the inside of the circle? very picasso like right? ) Once I removed the stickers I had this....................


I wish I hadn't done that ridiculous fancy schmancy thing in the middle - overkill - anyway this
is what it came out looking like - too pristine really - so out comes the sanding paper ( that's so
worn down it's amazing I was able to sand it at all - note to self - GET SOME MORE SANDING
PAPER ) here it is sanded

make me a hurricane before I go insane
it's only half past 12 but I don't care.........................

and a couple of close ups




and done.........................


I still have to put wheels on the legs to give it a little extra height - but the ones I wanted
to use won't do .................so for now she is fait accomplis..

AVANT ( encore )


APRES


oh and then because of my OCD - I made did this one for my daughter - just reversed the colors

my son brought it to me for Sunday dinner - I know I know some moms get flowers or a bottle of
wine - but they are such thoughtless gifts, right - I mean how thoughtful can he get - he literally plucked it off the street lol - hey Mom - can you do something with this?
Yes sweetheart - I think I can - thank you very much.



Ok - time for a glass of vino -
It's 5 o'clock somewhere

  1. Great inspiration! I must look around the house to find some "templates".

    And I like how you've got your son trained to spot "treasures"!

  12. Hi Suzan!

    First of all... welcome to the Bunny Hop!

    Your 'coffee table' turned out great. I have also been toying with the idea of a clock stencil or upholstering my square coffee table. Since we put our feet on it, it looks more like I will make it into a giant ottoman/table.

    I like how your son was thinking of you when driving by junk on the side of the road. He picked up a pretty cool item... at least it is now, after your paint job. It looks just like an old sewing table that I have. hummm... another project?

    xoxo Bunny Jean

  21. I LOVE this! I'm a huge Jimmy Buffet fan and my daughter was born at 4:59! If I could get away with it, I would have her room decorated with "it's 5 o'clock somewhere", except she's only 2! I might steal this idea and sneak it in!

  22. This is awesome. I know how hard it is to get numbers spaced right on a clock table and this is so pretty.
