Make it a special closet for your scarves.
Or neckties.
How about a drinks cabinet for your booze and booze supplies?
Especially if you replaced the pendulum with a U-shaped lucite tube filed with water so the fish could swim from tank down and back up the other side.
Two more ideas for you…
-
Get a battery clock movement - and use a photo of your grandfather as the clock face.
-
Replace the clock with this - and claim your grandparent used it that way.
Use it as the concealed entrance to your secret villain lair/world domination control room.
I like the idea of an aquarium. But if you have a little kid, perhaps something for him? A bookcase/shelves, or turn it into a nightlight or something that plays music softly while he goes to sleep? There’s something hinting at Peter Pan for me with it as well, but not sure what that could be.
Or if you have some real time on your hands and like the idea of something vaguely creepy.
Halloween is coming up, have a skeleton fall out of it!
Not grandfather clocks though. They tend to stop short when their owner dies. And they’ll never go again.
Move the clock near the front door. Get a white sheet, cut eyeholes in it, cover yourself with it and hide in the clock. When people come over, jump out of the clock and yell boo.
This may be the winner if I have time to put it all together…
But the next and perhaps probable runner up is a fish tank
the next in line for sure is a book case with terrarium on the top… Great ideas all, many thanks!
