Finally, a Clock!

I've been wanting to repurpose an old grandfather clock into a bookshelf for some time now.  You'd be suprised at how difficult it is to find a clock in need of a makeover (and for a cheap enough price).  I didn't want to take apart a working clock, so the only option was a broken one.  Craigslist, Goodwill, Savers, yard sales...NOTHING!  So I gave up on the idea and moved on with my life. 

But then...

I was wandering around a thrift store today and came across this gem! Isn't it the ugliest thing you've ever seen?!  That white fabric and rose heart really give it that extra special touch.   But seriously, it's perfect for my project!
