Hi, I know I'm coming to this awesome project a little late – like two years – lol but I have a question. You didn't do anything to the inside. Have you done it since and if not why not? Thanks.

Thanks for this Courtney! I've got this same exact clock and have been waiting for inspiration to paint it!
The only thing about this clock that I don't like is setting the time using the instructions. It's a bear to do!
But otherwise, the clock is beautiful and you did a wonderful job!!!

So pretty, Courtney. I've made my own chalk paint with plaster of paris, too, and been happy with the results.

I read this a few days ago. I am redoing a small guest bathroom. Maybe tiny is a better word. The problem was mirror placement. My contractor added wainscoting and great moldings for me. I have that beachy look going here. But the mirror was a thorne in my side. He needed the final answer today. So I woke up early, grabbed an old mirror that was a brassy gold plasticy frame. But very sturdy and at least 30 years old. I remembered what you did and I did the same thing. Took the bright white paint, covered the whole thing. Then took the gray paint from the bathroom walls and painted all the scrolling in the corners and the egg& dart design on the frame inner edge. Then dry brushed the same gold paint you used over the gray as simple highlight and accents. I just converted my contractor!! He could not believe what I did while he was working. Tomorrow he installs it and it will be great. Thanks for sharing!! It added another element to the bathroom that was in danger of being too straight and one dimensional.
