My booth, Seashells and Lavender is filled.
There were a couple of extra pieces that came home with me(that happens a lot). Sometimes the pieces end up in the booth at a later date...but most of the time, they live here at the lakehouse for a long, long time.
This clock was actually black, with gold trim.
It reminded me of the Mora clocks I've been seeing on some of the other blogs lately.
I planned on painting it a creamy white, then distressing it to make it look chippy and worn.
Amy, from Maison Decor, has done her last two posts on Mora clocks....ORIGINAL Mora clocks!
She has some gorgeous photos of them posted on her blog. Amy also gave the history of them on her latest post.
I do not have access to an original Mora clock, nor the finances to afford one.
So this "similar looking" one will have to do for me.
Amy's home will be perfect for a Mora clock, however. Go over to Maison Decor, and take a tour. Amy really knows how to decorate like a pro!
I'm joining Faded Charm for White Wednesday.
Have a fun evening everyone!!
What a nice clock and yes it reminds me of a swedish "Mora klocka" *smile*.

I love Amy's blog with her original pieces, but I love yours equally well with your own take on items. That is just a darling "Mora" clock you have-I think this is one that might never make it to the shop. I guess you got EVERYTHING done at the shop then? Happy Tuesday to you- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clock Debbie, even if it is not an original. I love the paint job on it too!

I love your clock Debbie! It looks so pretty in your home. I can see why you decided to keep it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here looking out at a white world. We must have gotten half a foot of snow last night. The trees are all bent over with the weight of it. Did the storm reach you too?
Have a lovely day! {{hugs}}
