Quick post today as I'm in a rush to go furniture shopping. I had my first major "d'oh" in home ownership yesterday. I was painting the dining room. I did two coats of the paint thinking that would be enough. I left the room and went back later to touch up some spots. I was so mad because there were all these lighter patches! I thought that I was going to have to do a THIRD coat! That was NOT in the plan. I got out the paint and started trying to "touch up" the parts that were light. NOTHING was working! I was so frustrated.
I left the room and turned off the light. The lighter spots went away. Hmmmm. I turned the light on and they came back.. Hmmmmm again. After turning the lights on and off like a little kid who just found their first light switch I looked at the chandelier and I saw what was making the lighter spots. Stupid etched glass on the chandelier. It was just a shadow.
*smacks forehead*
At least I don't have to do another coat. :-)
LOL! Home ownership makes you smarter and dumber, all at once.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you didn't have to repaint, again!
