We used a non-working cuckoo clock we found at an antique store.
Let me know what you think.

I'm selling this one in my etsy shop.
Hope you all have a lovely week!

I cannot believe the transformation of this clock!!
ReplyDeleteI have never been a huge fan of the colours of the cuckoo clock but now I like it!!
Great job!!
Hi Julie, your clock came out beautiful! I'm now tempted to paint my working cuckoo clock!

My grandmother had a cuckoo clock and all of us grandchildren were just crazy about it! it came from Germany and was a family treasure for a long time.
ReplyDeleteYours turned out fabulously!
Hi Julie - So nice! I always thought the dark wood of cuckoo clocks made them sort of dismal but your re-do has sure put that idea to rest!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and your kind comment. I'm (slowly!) finding my way.
I'm looking forward to knowing you better! Enjoy a creative, happy week... Karen
VERY CUTE... love it..
ReplyDeleteHi Julie ~ I think your clock is absolutely GORGEOUS! I have ALWAYS wanted a cockoo clock and have a friend that brought one back from Germany. Her clock always intrigues me with its bells and whistles! Yours looks so beautiful all shabbied up!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that's a Black Forest clock. Lucky you to have found one in good shape.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a darling idea! My dad collects coo coo clocks - yours is just too cute for words! xoox

Julie,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! My husband has an old cockoo clock and I would never let him hang it but if he will let me shabby it up, I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing,
ShawNa~
Love the transformation!!!

How beautiful! I collect clocks, and I have a few cuckoo clocks among them. Although I'll probably never paint them, I have to admit I'm tempted now. I'd love for you to pay me a visit. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking all over for a cuckoo. I LOVE this! You did such a great job!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! It looks awesome. Well done for thinking of this idea - and for putting it into practice so beautifully too!
