It started to have that severe and boring armoury look so I decided to jazz it up a bit with the new paint job, as well as adding some visual interest with a few related items. |
This is where I have come to myself - honestly, I really need to put a lot of attention into either the display or the preservation and storage of my collection, in parts or as a whole. The entire living room is littered with arms and a few pieces of armour, and there are additional pieces tucked into 2 closets and a storage room. Aesthetically, it's horrid... very haphazard. I will be relocating soon, so when I settle in, I'll make this a significant focus. I enjoy my collection, but I don't need it so in my face as it is right now. This decor Patrick has going on appears pleasing, is as much artistic as martial (if not more), and still remains a comfortable and functional room. I'll be taking a few lessons from his efforts.
