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!! 😉

  2. I keep telling Wes it is HIS fault because he called me. LOL I’ll figure something out.

  3. 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. 🙂

  4. What else can you do? 🙂

  5. 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
