Do you ever just put something off?  Something that you know will be a quick task, but just never seem to get around to doing?  I do it A LOT!  This Mora clock replica is my case in point.  (Is that the right phrase? Anyway, you get my drift. 😉 )

I bought the clock on clearance a couple of years ago.  It was slightly damaged, but that was fine with me.  I had planned on painting anyway.  So after two years of always passing it and thinking, “I need to paint that!,” I finally got my act together.  Total time spend on this “project” was 30 min!  Yeah, I know I could have saved myself all that time of procrastinating!

Here’s the before and after:

And do you remember my sofa table?  When we got our new couch and rearranged the living room, I decided I liked it better along the wall, instead of behind the couch.

 I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old Ochre, with Paris Gray for the accent.  A little bit of the dark wax, just helped add some aging.

 I think it looks a million times better, if I do say so myself!  Now it looks more like a real Mora clock, even if it is battery operated.

So, what project are you putting off? My suggestion is to just make yourself start it.  You’ll be glad when it done!
