Everything was going too smoothly… until my paint sprayer turned on me. 🤦‍♀️ One wrong-way nozzle and suddenly I’m pressure-washing primer onto my dentil molding and wiping drips for hours. A humbling moment in an otherwise dreamy transformation. The silver lining? I’m using the new flat eggshell finish @farrowandball for my topcoat and it’s going to be my saving grace. I used the same finish in my primary bathroom and loved how durable it was, but it’s also soft enough to help disguise those tiny primer mishaps I definitely didn’t catch. A win for both beauty and forgiveness. For the trim work and walls I went with Joa’s White - the perfect saturated warm cream that’s already making me swoon. For the ceiling I went a couple shades lighter with the color Dimity and it’s proving to be the perfect compliment. Every DIYer has their fair share of mistakes, even if they’re embarrassing to share publicly. What’s your take on this? Do you want to see more of the real mistakes… or just the satisfying reveals?
