I feel like this should be part of a longer series I write called “Sloppy DIY: How To Unwreck The House You’ve Been Wrecking While Also Making It Better.”
Hi, I’m Heather, and I get paint on the carpet.
I also get paint on the floor and flick stain onto the kitchen wall (Darling Husband only justttt noticed and it happened at least a month ago).
I shared this quick tip on Instagram a week-ish ago and had to share it here, too, because it’s making my whole life better.*
*Only somewhat of an exaggeration

Yes, I cut the carpet! And it workeddddddd.
Oh, you were expecting a tutorial on making your own carpet cleaning solution out of baking soda and vinegar and other Pinterest-y stuff? Sorry, no. Get some scissors, yo, and snip that paint out!
(It looks way better in here.)
(The end.)
