Pink Paint

Today in Ms. Hill’s house we primed. Having arrived after lunch, fresh from digging holes in the morning, we applied primer to the entry/living room, kitchen, hallway and one of the bedrooms. After hole-digging, painting seemed to be a nice break, and we appreciated seeing a nearly-finished house. The wonderful thing about a house in the final stages of constructions is that it offers the possibility of imagining the personal touches that are to come and the family that will actually live inside. This was particularly evident in the corner bedroom of Ms. Hill’s house, where a piece of paper taped to the window indicated that this particular room needed to be painted pink whereas every other room would be classic taupe. This is Ms. Hill’s youngest daughter’s room, and right now nothing could make our team happier than to be able to paint that room pink for this little girl. This house is speeding towards becoming a home as it takes on the personalities of its future owners. It might be this part of the process that we have been the most excited to help along.
