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.

  1. I’m feeling better already. Who knew painting bloopers were so common? 🙂

  2. LOL It was all worth it then. Someone got a good laugh today. 🙂

  3. Oh my. We all have our moments. I like it when my moments aren’t quite so damaging…but what can I say? Win some you lose some. B-)

  4. Ha. I have plenty of paint stir sticks. I just prefer to shake. And I’m still shakin’. I just make sure the lid is secure first. 🙂

  5. Ouch! I think I’m just going to tear out the tile. (And I promise I didn’t plan this whole incident for that purpose. LOL)
