Indisputably my worst painting blunder ever!
It’s a two-fer week for me in the blunder department. First I had to take a cabinet apart and rebuild it, that wasn’t too bad.
This one… this one was pretty BAD!
You should know that I mix my paint by holding it up and shaking the heck out of it.
Now the story goes like this: I shook my paint. I loosened by lid. I answered a phone call… 20 minutes later I went back to my project and forgot that I’d loosened my lid. I thought, “It’s been a while, I should probably shake this a bit more — for good measure.”
I’m sure you can guess the rest.
I didn’t even cry. (I just wiped my face.)
I took off my sweatshirt and used the floor as my paint tray (because I had spilled a LOT and wasn’t about to waste my $50/gallon paint by just cleaning it up) and finished painting my cabinets.
Then I danced! Because what else is there to do when you spill a half a gallon of paint of the floor?
I kept my Chucks but threw the rest of my clothes away.
They weren’t my favorites anyway.
so sorry but glad you were able to laugh about it. I must confess I very likely would have cried and laughed. Best of all was the way you were able to salvage the paint. Here is to a better next week.
I have done that once or twice myself, sans the dancing! Hope you were able to get the grout clean! I dropped a whole gallon of oil-based primer on my downstairs bathroom tile floor years ago. I never got it all out of the grout.
Love the look! Loved the pics. You are so talented that its nice to see that you make an oops once in a while!!! I enjoy your blog. Did you think of painting the floor white? You were halfway there!!! Lol
🙁
Thanks for the dance, though 🙂 sort of, kinda, made everything all better!
Here’s to hoping tomorrow will be better
The Grout!! The Grout!! Save the Grout!! I have to admit, that was my first thought. Lesson learned: Never, Never, NEVER answer the stupid telephone when in ANY phase of a painting project! So sorry this happened to you.
