Summer Holiday Project

December 1, 2005 at 11:58 PM

I've decided that this summer, while i'm supposed to be taking a break from the violin, that I'm going to paint my room. It's about time that it has a repaint (it's been at least 10 years).

What I've decided is that the north, west and eastern walls of my room will be a white, maybe not pure white, but a white-based colour. The eastern wall will be a brown colour the colour of my violin. I will stencil in two large f-holes on either side of my computer (which is situated on the eastern wall), and then f-holes on either side of my door.

Yes, I'm a violin geek.

Is there a reason for your break? I hope it's not injury...even moreso, I hope it's not your lack of interest. It's always a shame to see a violinist put down the bow for the last time...
