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.

    -Bucket list item #210: learn not to shake paint all over my floors!

  2. LOL I thought I was the only person that used that phrase! 🙂

  3. Ha, nice! What else are you going to do? The damage has already been done. I figured I might as well at least use the paint and not waste a half gallon of paint on top of creating so much more work for myself. It made me feel better about the whole thing. LOL

  4. I have to confess something too, I’ve always hated that floor. Not the tile — but that tile with that grout. I HATE it. I always intended to paint the grout with a light brown. Not exactly sure what my next move is now but I’ll figure it out.

  5. I think we’ll have to scrape the grout. I’ll let you know how that goes. Maybe you’ll be able to get the last bits out of your grout too. LOL
