If you fail, try try again.
That's what interior designer, Richard O'Gorman, did recently when he encountered a DIY fail during his house transformation project.
Instead of painting over a wall that was the wrong color, he created a gorgeous decor bedroom piece using quick, creative thinking.
The end result is stunning. Come see!
Like this person who thought it would be a good idea to take pairs of last season's jeans and use them to make what is undoubtedly the ugliest carpet we've ever seen.
What happens if you step on a button?
Grandma shouldn't have been a part of this.
That bare porcelain throne you're sitting on is actually made to protect you. Not only that, but your desk right now probably has more germs.
For the past year, he's been transforming his two-story home in Birmingham, England with different wall murals.
By sharing his cheerful, vibrant transformations on Instagram, he's amassed more than 37 thousand subscribers.
He even helped create a salon space, which means that his designs are going to be seen by people who don't even follow him on Instagram.
"A shop thatβs joyful, colourful and irreverent, but always with a sense of humour and bucketloads of fizz πππ"
He considers this arch to be his favorite in the whole house (we can see why!).
That arch seriously looks 3D! Plus, let's be honest, the colors just leave you feeling so happy.
"I love that it could be the portal to another dimensions, I love that it will evoke Grecian sunsets and Moroccan summers for my dinner guests but most of all I love that it feels 3D."
Wouldn't you want to just lay down and stare at the ceiling??
But while most of his murals have gone on without a hitch, he reached a snag recently.
Sounds pretty, but O'Gorman told Insider that it made his room look more like the set of a Hallmark Christmas movie.
"I was constantly craving mince pies and egg nog β so I knew I had to change it up," he said.
First, he fixed the burgundy accents around his bedroom door by using shades of brown to create a rust effect.
"The beauty of paint is that it's inexpensive and paint over-able, and no one will ever know," he told Insider.
This, too, gave the wall a gorgeous rust effect. What do you think of the transformation?
"Sometimes messing up leads you to the right decision."
