We can't be perfect every time

Remember last week when I apparently inhaled too many paint fumes and went crazy with the spray paint? Well on top of spray painting one of the objects, I decided to give it a little personality too. I first spray painted it Valspar's Hotel Vanilla:

 I then used this stencil that has been sitting in a drawer for months now. I bought it for like 2.99 at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon, so it was like 1.79. I plan on using it for a project in Alexa's room.....Soon.

 I did the stencil with a cream paint. Errrr craft fail. Stencil doesn't do too well on curved slick surfaces. So I whipped out some gold metallic paint and traced along the pattern. I also wrapped jute around the top and the bottom.

 Much better with the gold paint!

I like it, I mean it's not my favorite thing I have done. I think it looks pretty good on the shelves though and it breaks up the cream overload. Any craft fails you have had lately? What did you do to fix it?
