DIY Garden Clock

What's a DIY fanatic to do when she sees a perfectly good table in her neighbor's dumpster?
Ummmm jump in it and grab it, that's what.
To be more precise, walk inside the HUGE dumpster and roll it out of there and down the street into our garage.
There's no shame in my game.

I asked the owners where the base to the table was.
To upcycle this table, I painted it white and then added some brown and gray paint over it to make it look aged. Then, I added some clock numbers to it.
We cut some arrows from some scrap wood in the garage and I painted them with the same gray paint.
Now, this table that was destined for the landfill is a beautiful clock that would be amazing in a garden, on a barn or even a garage. You can see all the details of this makeover on my blog post here:
