Colours of autumn

I've always been an 'autumn-girl' and ones again this year, even with the rain, it's beautiful and my favourite. Today presented the best of autumn: Fresh air, sun and time with all my nearest and dearest.

Beautiful necessities

I recently found some necessary items for the house in very beautiful packages: Fire blanket from Hong Kong 15,90 e, olive oil from S-Market 5,90 e. My favourite coffee Saula still comes all the way from Spain, but maybe soon someone will sell it here too.

Fine tuning

Our new home is starting look like a home. Last weekend we did some fine tuning to our preschooler's room. Noticeboard and pencil jar got a new look with some masking tape and the beautiful fox mask from Paloni found a place on the wall.

A different kind of holiday

Sorry for the long silence here. We have moved and most of my summer holiday has looked like this: Endless renovation. It has been an exhausting holiday but finally we are starting to have a functioning home and are able to unpack and settle down. Yippee!

Lost in the land of colours

I'm lost in the land of colours! I am trying to decide the colours of the walls in our new house and the obvious choice of all white feels boring. Right now I'm thinking of adding a little bit of indigo blue or dark green perhaps... 

Days of frustration

This weekend nothing is going as planned. This part of the renovation is the most exhausting one. When you think you have all the plans figured out, then obstacles start to occur, and turns out that your plans will not work at all. So frustrating! Seems I can't get the tub I want or the floor I want and previously lowered ceilings in the hallway are giving me a headache. Well, at least I can be happy about the beautiful stairs that truly revealed themselves when we removed a wall around them. I wish I could leave them without a railing...

New home

We will have a new home soon. We bought an apartment in an old row house and now my head is filled with renovation ideas. It's both exciting and exhausting: So many things to do. First time in my life I will have a garden too and it makes me panic a bit, because I have absolutely no gardening skills. I guess now it's time to learn...

Small bits of black and white

Today small black and white objects in our home caught my eye.
