Last year, I dropped a quart of red paint in the studio. It splattered so far that I am still finding spots I didn't see before.
What a mess!
I cleaned up as much as I could, touched up paint on doors, cabinets, etc, and ignored the main sploosh that went up the wall and onto the ceiling, it was too much to face.
Eventually, I knew I had to deal with it, but since I didn't have any more paint in the wall color, it would mean that I had to repaint not just this red splotch, but the entire west wall of the studio, behind the computer, my storage, and the big, heavy, wardrobe I use as a treat cabinet.
As nice as fresh paint in a new color would be, I decided it was too much work. So I painted over the red blotches only.
And I am happy that I did! I really like having a rose garden in my workshop.
While the ladder was out, I touched up the red freckled ceiling with white, so everything looks tidy again.
Now, I just wonder why I lived with that ugly bunch of blotches for that long before I thought of this save.
What a gorgeous save, Karla! I always say that a “mess up” is just an opportunity for further creativity! 🙂
Very pretty. 🎨
Thank you, Marilyn, I used to do murals for a living, but its been a long time since Ive done one for myself.
In watercolor, we call mistakes happy accidents.
So pretty! Brilliant!
Great thinking, Karla! I love this. Lemonade from lemons!

Oh my goodness that’s so pretty!
Stunning! I love this… Do you suppose that is why God spattered beauty here and there i this odd world… Did He put “roses” over the ugly spots? Just a stray thought. Love your room. Wish I could come to Snowbird Song!!!
That is such a lovely thought!
