My cousin AND one of my very BESTEST friends is getting married next month!
We ran off to China together and taught English for a semester & LOVED every second of that experience & then almost a year later, we roomed together at college. We are 3 months apart, so we went through school together, even though we went to rival schools & played against each other in Basketball and Volleyball:) She is the happiest girl in the world and I love her so much! I'm so glad these 2 found each other, they are PERFECT together!
Last night was her Bridal Shower & I really wanted to make her a CLOCK, so I asked for any colors she might prefer. She said she would love ANYTHING, but LOVES ALL WHITE...
Hmmm....
How to make an ALL WHITE CLOCK??
I immediately thought of this one, that I made a few months back...
BUT...the tins I have are 12" and I wanted to make her a
BIG CLOCK
...so I went to my garage & rummaged around. I knew I needed TEXTURE if I was going to attempt an ALL WHITE clock, so when I saw a piece of bead board that was
2ft x 2 ft,
I knew it would be perfect!

Then I saw a long piece of trim laying on the ground(my baseboards for my Master Bedroom Redo & wondered if I could make a "FRAME" for my clock??? I can get another piece of trim for my baseboards later, right;)
I broke out the Miter Saw & cut 45 degree angles on each piece of wood & guess what?! It worked!
Kind of.
It is NOT professional, but for my 1st attempt at a frame, I thought it wasn't terrible;)
I decided on some BEIGE dots for the numbers so that the overall appearance was still "ALL WHITE", but the clock would actually tell time;)
I roughed up the Bead board a bit & gave it BARELY enough time to dry, before heading off to the shower!:)
Holly, I hope you and Tyson have the
TIME of your lives together!!!
TIME of your lives together!!!
