We had just finished our oak hardwood floors a few years back and my son dropped a litre of white paint onto the floor. Thank goodness we were able to clean it up quickly.
Oh, and I should say that the floor photographs very nicely, but it’s actually laminate, a thousand years old and ready to be replaced next month. Which is why I was so cavalier with the painting. In fact I would never have even dared paint a room on my own if the floor wasn’t about to be taken up. I think the pictures pretty much explain why, haha!
Oh, ouch! I see it was not you who were able to clean it up quickly it was Susan. Is there a similar happy ending to your story? One thing is clear: you have the instincts of a photo journalist to be able to stop and record this before dashing for the rags.
Uh Oh! :)
haha! Yes… well. There’s a story…

A LITRE!! Oh wow. That must have take a few rags… Very good to know your story has a happy ending!
Save your BIRKS .

Carin Carin Carin…! This hurts! I am so glad that you say you were able to clean it up quickly! I actually shrieked when I first saw it.
I think I heard that shriek! (:

What I like best is that you note the insanity (though you phrase it much more nicely) of taking the pics instead of cleaning up, haha!
Glad I read the comments, as I was thinking, yikes! The floor does look old and real but glad to hear it’s not a keeper.
That was the one pleasure of painting the walls…. not giving a hoot about the floor. Really the only way I can do it.
Love it Carin and the pictures say it all! Better stick to writing….
haha! Thx, Katrinka.
I paint just like you, Carin!!!
You’re being kind. I don’t believe you…
