Does Your Grandfather Clock Need a Makover?

This oak grandfather clock had been in my clients family for a while. It didn't really fit the décor of her fabulous study. You can see how we transformed her study ceiling. We were able to transform her clock while waiting for the ceiling layers to dry. I used my favorite bonding primer/basecoat in black. This product is called Bondago. It's made by a company called Perfetto. It's a very high quality primer that can be used as a basecoat as well. It goes on smooth and levels nicely. Please don't confuse this product with the current trending wall paint that has the primer built in. That product is made for previously painted walls. Bondago is designed for furniture and cabinets not necessarily previously painted. The black is awesome but it also it comes in many different colors, even clear!

Grandfather Clock Before



Grandfather Clock Black and Gold

Often with black, we distress the edges, but this room had a more formal, grand feel. So we added gold high lights to the edges. It's truly hard to believe it's the same clock. It's like we dressed it in a little black cocktail dress with a touch of gold bling!



The process is the same as always. We taped off the glass and we lightly sanded the clock and wiped it down. We painted one coat of black making sure that we didn't miss anything.

The process moved quickly. Already looking great! You will love this paint!

 

I used a small foam bushed and lightly highlighted in gold all the architectural accents on the clock.

This was such a simple transformation! I highly recommend using Bondago on your next furniture project. This is a sponsored post but opinions are my own. Perfetto is one of my favorite companies that I get my products from and I have many more products to show you. What piece are you inspired to dress up?
