Laughing At My Total Failure :)

Hi Friends

There are days when we must 
Just laugh at ourselves - YES?!?!?!

I, if I do say so myself, consider 
Myself fairly handy around the house

Since my hubby passed I have:
Replaced a garbage disposal, replaced the water reserve
Tank on the car I owned, and replaced all of the plumbing in one bathroom

I have also painted rooms, torn out carpet and stained a floor, 
I change all of the pool filters and keep it clean and chemically balances,
I take care of the yard, plants, flowers and tree, and I keep the HOA
Out of my hair (most of the time)
I also cook, clean, take care of my adult kiddo with special needs
And work full time as well as babysit my granddaughters every week

SO
When I decided that the space below needed a little 
Pick me up
There is nothing in me that thought my idea wouldn't work

This area above my stove has been this 'Bland' for many years
I put the sign up years ago and never did anything else
Can we say "BORING"

I purchased a shelf at the Goodwill for $2
Sanded it, painted it and sanded it again
I hung it up and shopped my kitchen
To get a better finished look

This is how it ended up
I fussed with it for a few hours
And was getting ready to remove the little red bowl
I just felt like it was too much

When all of a sudden I noticed the shelf was coming loose from the wall

Yep, for some strange reason
Even though I used drywall anchors and screws
The one of the left side was pulling out of the wall

Fortunately
I noticed it 'before' the shelf fell off the wall
And nothing was broken
 

Now I have two large holes in the wall
And I noticed the area around the hole
Is very mushy, ugh

So
Bella Cucina 
Is once again a lonely sign hanging above the stove
With no other decorations to share the space
Ahhh.
Total Failure
Maybe next week I'll try something else

Gotta laugh
Something as simple as hanging a little shelf
Causing so much grief :)

Have you even just had to laugh
At your own epic failure?
Do Share!!

Enjoy your week!
