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.
I always intended on painting the grout. But not the tile and not with high gloss white paint. Now I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I’m dancing on it.
Dancing always makes everything better. 🙂
This is the kind of thing that I would do. I don’t usually paint walls because I am the type that would get the paint in my hair and also step in the bucket. I guess I should put that on my Mighty List. Learn how to paint a room without messing up. Ann
brain fart…happens all the time.
I like the part that you used the paint right off the floor. Last weekend I was helping my son stain his fireplace mantel we had just finished, he spilled the stain all over the floor and we just dipped our rags in the mess and kept on going.
