This Table Was Like Baking A Cake!

4 Materials

Most everyone has a cake in their kitchen! Well, the ingredients anyway. That's how this project went. I looked around my shop and over in that corner, I had a table base. Hiding behind that thing I just had to have a year ago was a top to an end table, and hanging right in front of me was a big clock!

this table was like baking a cake , diy, painted furniture

First I gathered all the pieces together to make sure they would all work together. Then I sanded and stained them in a classic gray, then painted the table top blue.

This clock was dark brown and I highlighted most of it with blue Rub n Buff. I attached the end table top to the table base, then the clock to the table top! It was pretty simple.

To finish it off, I put a thick glass top on it! Thanks for lookin' :)

I have a post for the before/after of these chairs also~

I didn't see the glass top in the materials list. Did you have to order it from somewhere, or did the table have it already?

I just love this table Suzette! Can I ask if you found the clock in the scrolled frame, or is it something you created. I would love something like this in my home, as a table or just the clock with the scroll work on the wall.

Love the outcome of this beautiful table. What did you use to attach the clock to the table top?
