Art to Complement the Spare Room
Author: Capn_Ahab
They say that everybody needs a hobby, but I think the truth is a bit more complex than that. Iâm so busy during the week that when Saturday rolls around, all I want to do is relax on a boat, floating leisurely down a local river. Itâs not so much a hobby as an essential respite from the 9 to 5 work schedule, the dull meetings and oppressive deadlines.
It should come as no surprise that when my wife raised the idea of redecorating our spare room, I suggested a boating theme. As a history teacher, she had a special fondness and appreciation for American Indian wood art; we set about collecting as many pieces â both genuine and replica â as possible in a short span of time. I found a wooden canoe model online that complemented the new theme without overpowering the rest of the décor.
