How To Enjoy The Painting Experience

The whole house painting exercise can be very tedious. From planning, prepping the location, sanding the walls, choosing the right colors, applying the right type of paints and deciding the best sheen to use, but guess what? You can make it fun too. So, dig deep down, find your motivation and get rhythmical.

Since house painting is a time-consuming task, it can create a good time for family members to bond or serve as an ample opportunity to get away from the so the hectic life at work. Here are some ways you can make your painting experience worthwhile and get the results you seek.

• Focus on the process: By focusing on the process and giving it undivided attention, you will discover that house painting is a chance to create, producing fun and joy. Every stroke of the paint brush or movement of the roller on the wall can create a wonderful future scenario for you to relax and enjoy the beauty of your home.
• Create the right atmosphere: Keep the atmosphere conducive by keeping it ventilated, listening to your favorite music or podcast. This will keep you relaxed and happy to go on with the home painting process. Create time to play and flow with the paint while working. This will enhance the end result greatly.
• Engage each other in a conversation: If you are working with a colleague, you can engage them in a conversation to keep you both active. Carefully select issues to be discussed during work to avoid arguments capable of wasting time. This can hold especially true when painting with family; this author knows this from personal experience!
• Enjoy the process: Whoever wrote "patience is a virtue" obviously never had the mandatory deadlines bestowed upon them as this painting contractor has had! But seriously folks, take your time, enjoy the steps involved to work towards your "masterpiece".  In the end, you'll be glad you did. Rushing through the process only gives allowance for stress, mistakes or misses. These missed spots or areas where the new paint color didn't quite cover the old...we like to call them "holidays". Speed comes with practice;  patience Grasshopper!!!

​Painting your home is fun and engaging. Get the right partner and tools and see how well you can enjoy the entire process. Use this time as an opportunity to find your Zen, and most certainly allow those creative juices to flow ever so cadencing. Remember, steps to a good-clean paint job isn't always set in stone; it can be a sinuous path.
