Things rarely ever fall into place well when I am involved.
I just overthink things and try too hard sometimes, so whatever I'm trying to do just sort of flops.
Luckily since becoming a homeowner,
I've come to adopt my father's penchant for flipping mistakes into magic.
That man has this amazing skill for taking broken or failed household projects,
and morphing them into some adaptation that in the end looks completely planned and beautiful.
He recently tore out a section of cabinets in his kitchen
and covered the damaged wall they were attached to with wainscoting.
The style and finish is so on point, people who had never seen the original floor plan
thought that the wall had always been like that!
I personally applied this "tool" myself when revamping the laundry room.
Better than half of the things you saw in the end result were not even kind of planned,
but it looked awesome right?
For those who don't remember, you can see the laundry post here:
I think this is one aspect of my life that I've really started to develop patience for.
Almost anytime a DIY project goes wrong, of course there's the obligatory 5 minutes of expletives,
but then I walk away and come back with a fresh, inspired mind to flip it around into success!
When is a time things didn't fall into place and you flipped it around?
