...ThanksGiving weekend 2006 was all about painting Kamlesh and Parul's living room. They have a quaint little suburban house in Rochester, MN ...and ever since the moved in there, I have heard them talk about how much they wanted to paint the living room before they put anything on the walls.
Such was their passion for getting it right that they refused to move on and do anything to the place until it was painted. It was also going nowhere because they could not make up their mind on what color to paint it ... phew! I am glad they finally did that and once they did it was all about getting it right.
We started with the front walls of the living room, at about 8ish on Thurday night and did half the wall ....wooooo not a great idea. Apparently we were not supposed to paint in the dark and not supposed to finish both the coats of paint at the same time on just half the wall .... I kinda got the hang of it later though and really took a liking to the roller with the long handle (okay no Gay jokes here!). But seriously, it was all so zen! Roll paint on and up and some off and down and merge.
Its All About the Zen Feeling:
I also realized that vaccuming, cleaning or some mindless physical labour brought about a very zen like feeling .... I get very focussed and into what I am doing. The details matter then and it is all about being one with the tool for example, to roll paint on in one steady stroke from top to the bottom until you see a steady finish, with no ridges or boundaries.
...ofcourse one also has to wait until the paint dries before one can tell if there were any major misses or not. The shadows on wet paint can cause an illusion of boundaries, and fixing these can ruin a good paint run.
When we did get the place finished it looked fabulous, althought I wish we did it in summer for better lighting and airing ...the place still smelled of ammonia and the paint, but overall it was a job well done.
Looks like we picked up a new skill!
