			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230; your first comeback post is about the colour of your bedroom walls.  It&#8217;s true, I&#8217;m really into &#8216;home improvement&#8217; and adding a bit of &#8220;me&#8221; into the mix. In the beginning I didn&#8217;t mind having my apt. look like a poor man&#8217;s ikea show room but I think it&#8217;s really taking a toll on my &#8220;chi&#8221;.</p>
<p>A few months ago I painted a &#8220;theme&#8221; 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&#8217;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 &#8220;junk&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.maiohmy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_8372.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2236" title="Living Room theme wall" src="http://www.maiohmy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_8372-168x300.jpg" alt="" width="168" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Just recently I decided I&#8217;d paint a wall in my bedroom seeing how I spend most of my time there. I knew I wanted a dark warm colour &#8211; an earthy brownish / beige tone to give that &#8216;zen&#8217; 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 &#8211; brownish/orangish/greenish.</p>
