Happy Tuesday!
When we first bought this secretary (you can see how I transformed it HERE) earlier this year, I added an iron piece I had on hand above it as a temporary filler. For months, I couldn't decide between a piece of art OR a clock ... art ... clock; clock ... art. Po-tae-to ... po-tah-to. I gave up.

Then, last week, as I ran into Big Lots to grab something totally unrelated, I spotted this pretty (and really inexpensive) clock. Without debating with myself in aisle 3, I scooped it up thinking it.just.might.work.
It looks a bit heavy and ornate, doesn't it? Well, thankfully, it's not! In fact, it's made of PLASTIC and light as a feather! My clumsy self truly appreciated that as I tried to balance the "tiny" mounting hole onto the wall.
Once it was up, I then decided to add a bit of greenery on top of the secretary to give the clock a bit more presence:
BEFORE:
AFTER:
*Yup,* it.just.might.work!
Now, I'm off to get my kitchen ready as I'm excited to be part of another series, featuring kitchen tours! I hope you'll join us ... there's going to be an amazing giveaway!
Thanks for stopping by,
I love it, Becca! I bet it was a great price, too. I always forget about Big Lots. I guess because I don't often pass one; I have to make it a planned trip to find one.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Becca! Love that secretary of yours and the clock looks great above it and gives it height. Also love the edited and enhanced photo at the end of your post. What photo editor do you use and would love to know where you get the graphics(ie. the shield and oval) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe clock looks great Becca and I love the added greenery!
ReplyDeleteLove that secretary!
Tick tick it's a darling clock. Love it my dear. You are such a good decorator! I just love everything you do. It's a given if I'm over here, I'm gonna love it! See you at the kitchen tour!!

ReplyDeletewell of course i love anything you do and i have to say i like both looks equally. but there's something about clocks, isn't there? i have a little bit of a clock fetish and have small ones all around.
ReplyDeletelooking forward to the kitchen tours...my favorites are yours (of course) and karianne's!
Looks like a rather expensive piece Becca.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the kitchen tour! Luv peeking in homes.

ReplyDeleteAnd this clock does look heavy and nice. Love Big Lots deals!
I am just kicking myself as I look at that beautiful white secretary desk. We sold one that belonged to my husband's mother. Of course, we had no space for it, but oh, what I could have done with it now that I am not afraid to paint.
ReplyDeleteLove the clock and the greenery was the perfect finishing touch! I can't wait to see the kitchen tours. I am looking forward to it very much!
