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.
Haha!!!! Gotta admit… I couldn’t stop laughing as I read your post. The hubby asked what I was laughing at and I said, “Just reading a blog… She pulled a ME!!!” That is so totally something I’d do!! 😉
I keep telling Wes it is HIS fault because he called me. LOL I’ll figure something out.
Best- story -ever! I have the best visual in my mind of you hopping out of the house, wrapped in a tarp.
It’s amazing to hear just how many people have done similar things. We are only human after all. 🙂
What else can you do? 🙂
It’s in the trash. It would have been too stiff to wear with THAT much paint on it. I’m still washing it off my skin because it soaked clear through. LOL
