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.
ROFL. You made my day Ann!
-Bucket list item #210: learn not to shake paint all over my floors!
LOL I thought I was the only person that used that phrase! 🙂
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
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.
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
