The surface preparation was a lengthy process since the walls were not even and smooth. Putty had to be applied 3 times, primer had to be applied 2 times before the final coat could be applied. I had a tough time deciding the paints to be applied for the different rooms. It was a toss between premium emulsion and royal emulsion of Asian paints. Finally, we decided to go for royal emulsion. The process of deciding the different colours took even more time. After lots of speculations, we finally decided on the colours for each room.
We chose Ancient Inca for the sitout, Grape Riot and Study in Scarlet foe the small hall, Mango Mood and Day Break for the hall, Misty Spring and Green Ebony for the big bed room, Ocean Whisper for the small bed room, Chinese Tea for the kitchen, Caprice for the Puja Room.
The workers arrived and they started their work. It was easy in the sitout, small hall and the big hall as there wasn't much to be shifted. But when they had to work in the kitchen, puja room and the bed rooms, we had to shift all the things out. That was a lot of work. The hall was a mess, when the work was going on in kitchen, bedrooms and puja room. All the things were dumped there and we had to live with that till the painting was finished in those rooms.
The process of shifting things back took even more time. By the time we completed the painting and shifting things, we were completely exhausted. It is not easy to get the home painted, when living there.
But the home looks so good now. After seeing the walls in the same colour for all these years, its nice to see the walls having different colours.
