… your first comeback post is about the colour of your bedroom walls. It’s true, I’m really into ‘home improvement’ and adding a bit of “me” into the mix. In the beginning I didn’t mind having my apt. look like a poor man’s ikea show room but I think it’s really taking a toll on my “chi”.

A few months ago I painted a “theme” wall in my living room. I gave it some colour to compliment my framed FANTOMAS poster. My living room already attracts lots of light mainly due to the fact I don’t have any real curtains to block the sunlight from coming in. The yellow/orange sunset colour from the wall managed to brighten and warm the room up more. It still lacks personality though. Funny enough, a lot of my personality is stored up in boxes and disguised as “junk”.

Just recently I decided I’d paint a wall in my bedroom seeing how I spend most of my time there. I knew I wanted a dark warm colour – an earthy brownish / beige tone to give that ‘zen’ feel. I went with some friends to the paint shop and we narrowed it down to a few colours, in the end I had them choose the colour for me and it was a shade of olive – brownish/orangish/greenish.

And for the lolz and oohz and aaahz and oucchez… one of the gnarly bruises I got on my thighs from my fall off the ladder while painting this wall…
