Venkata is a Sanskrit word that means “reward” or “rewarded”. When it comes to building a home, and in particular a new construction home, we feel rewarded when we see the results and receive compliments as well. While it is always better to be complimented, it is also much easier to get them when you are happy.
I think Venkata is one of those things that is best handled by a combination of self-awareness and some meta-cognition. For example, I can feel myself start to feel a little bit guilty when I’m complimenting someone who is happy that she has a beautiful new home that I helped build. I start to think about what I am doing and whether I’m doing it correctly, as opposed to being proud that someone has built me a new house.
The way I would describe Venkata is to say it’s the “second stage of self-awareness.” It’s the awareness that you are responsible for your actions. You have to consider how you are doing it, whether you should be doing it, and how you should be communicating it.
The first stage of self-awareness is about being aware of your actions, your preferences, and your habits. The second stage of self-awareness is about being aware of what you can do to change your actions. So a person doesn’t just want his house to look nice, but its the actions he wants it to. That’s why we often say that good design is good art, or why we say that a really good piece of architecture should be beautiful.
So to the first question: “Should I paint my new construction home?” I dont think that painting your home is a bad thing as long as it doesnt have a negative impact on the decor. I think that the main thing to consider is how much of a change you expect to see in your home (your budget, your expectations) and what kind of changes you are willing to make (how much of a change you are willing to tolerate).
I would say if you paint your home, you should go all out. It is not to say that you should paint them dark, but the goal is to have the effect that no one on the outside will notice. Just be realistic, and be realistic about what you are painting. There is no such thing as a “perfect” home, so pick your battles.
The main challenge with any interior paint is that it is the only thing that can cover everything. The surface we are painting is no exception. If you are not comfortable with it, don’t paint it. It will still look pretty, but it will take up too much space.
Venkata is an oil-based paint that dries quickly. It’s also one of those paints that you can use on any surface, including a concrete floor or even wood. Venkata is a bit of a pain to use because it has to be evenly applied. It’s also quite thick. A thin coat is easier to control and apply evenly to a surface.
Venkata is a paint that has a low VOC (volatile organic compound). It is very opaque and dries quickly. You can apply it to any surface, including a cement or wood floor or even a concrete base. You can also apply it to your walls by brushing it on with a brush. Venkata’s not one of the “expensive paints” that you see in the paint aisle of the store.
Venkatas has one of the highest VOCs of any of the paints on our list. Also, it’s one of the very few paint that doesn’t dry hard. So to apply it, you need to use a thin coat. You can also use it on your walls by brushing it on with a brush.
