Sometimes I screw up...

In the land of Pinterest everything seems so perfect and makes you want to make new things and paint old things... and for some people work out, but I try to stay away from that stuff. So when I came across this little gem I knew I could redo it with some good old fashioned spray paint! 

I love spray paint and I have tried a lot of spray paint brands, but I find Rustoleum to be my favorite. So I stopped by the Home Depot after I picked this baby up and bought Rustoleum paint in LAGOON!

I love the color, but I wanted something more than blue, I WANTED CHEVRON!!! Then I decided I wasn't going to be able to do a straight chevron so I decided, I WANTED HERRINGBONE!!! SOOO I painted it grey...

Then I was all, grey is boring... I'll make the sides Lagoon! 

So I tried to figure out the best way to make a herringbone pattern and I started with some stripes. I knew there was no way I'd make them perfectly straight, but kind of straight is good enough for me.

I was excited at this point, mainly because it was the day before my birthday and I was hoping to finish it as a present to myself. That of course did not happen! I started on the herringbone deciding I'd make the triangles get smaller and smaller as they went towards the bottom. I even put some magnets on the back of my ruler so I would stop losing it on the ground and top of the cabinet. I was being so productive and taking my time!

And then it happened, after hours and hours of work on it... I pulled off the tape.

DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!

I HATE IT!!!

It makes me sad just looking at the craziness and the ... I don't know I just don't like it. So after a day of being mad at it for being stupid, I hand sanded it so I wouldn't show my horrible herringbone through my paint. Then I did what I should have done in the first place, I painted it all LAGOON. I still love the name of the color.

This was actually my first coat and I have put another on it, but I needed to look at it and see what I could use to make it better. It's not done yet but I plan of replacing the legs since they are bent from someone pushing the heavy beast around and making a stencil to add a little something to it... 

Not sure what...
