An Atomic Starburst Clock I am Particularly Fondue of ...

Every home needs an Atomic Starburst clock... but you know, they are not always easy to find and so, I resigned myself to a far-off and unknowable future regarding myself as the possessor of such a wondrous thing.

So, this past week, while I was sitting and playing working at the computer in my (crowded with books to list and stuff really fine objects to list) office, I found myself looking up the fondue forks I thought would be hot sellers....
ah, not so...not even as "Mint and in the Box".

I wandered into the kitchen and I thought to myself...
"hmmm, this looks familiar..."

And then I thought, "hmmm, now all I need is a..."

And then, with only a total throw-out of all the former furniture,  

a complete re-arrangement of  what was left... and voila!
  

A cool Mid-Century look with very minimal expense and time!

 

But of course, what you really need is my Secret Weapon...

 

My handsome husband Noel and his handy dandy screw gun!

I think I have actually had an original thought with this Atomic Starburst Clock.
I've Googled it and searched it and don't see one anywhere!  

So, I'm claiming it and Pinning it and if I'm wrong...
please ...don't burst my bubble!
