Fake it til you make it - how to be an "artist"

One thing about moving into a space that has been empty for a while (our shop was nothing for around 5 years), it will definitely need some updating and TLC. 

One thing about this shop that I really HATE is this hideous air condition (wall unit) sticking out of the middle of the wall.  WTheck am I supposed to do with that ugly thing?

 

Maybe I could throw some mud at it and call it "inspirational art".  Although I highly doubt anyone would find it inspirational.

I was liking how the paint was streaky and showing layers of color so... I left it.

 

We hung it on the wall to just let it percolate a little while and we both ended up liking it.

 

I guess I'll pretend like it's inspirational art after all.  I shall call it "the cool box" (puns intended.
