Clock - at last :)

This clock is finally at home with me :) A lucky chance hit me, when I saw that a departmet store at Helsinki sells Habitat. (And I went there yesterday to educate myself about my work.) I'm very pleased! Tomorrow maybe we can put it up. The kitchen is almost ready too! Jej!

Grim Kitchen, Clocks an Painted Sofas

The kitchen, at the momet, is looking pretty GRIM!

There is a lot going on here at Nuijamiehenkatu! The kitchen tiles, sink and work tops are changing to new ones! (Not that new is always automatically better, but the old ones are too weary, because they are from the year 1949 as the rest of the house). The makeover is ready in couple of weeks and I can't wait to see it! (I'm also eager to get to use the kitchen again..Oh! The wonderfull warm memory of oven heated food!)I feel like the springtime gives me some extra energy boost, so I have many ideas and projects waiting. The sofa project for the "entrance hall" (about 3 m2 in size, so big you can call it a hall: haha) is on it's way. I got the idea from the upper sofa and decided to take the outlines from the one below. So the idea itself is following: I'm going to paint a sofa to one of the walls. The painting will have a bench infront of it, so I'm also thinking of upholstering a thick mattress over the bench to get the feeling of a real sofa. The fabric I'll paint (the "upholstery") will be more modest than on these sofas. Maybe stripes of somesort?

There has been some disappointments on my way to perfecting our home...The clock I was desiring to hang on my livingroom wall wasn't available out of UK. So maybe this is natures way to tell me that I should pay a visit to London? Sigh! I havent found anything to match it. Not even close! Maybe some small attraction towards having the official times of certain cities and many clocks side by side? S-g like this: But does one want the feeling of a multinational hotel in her livinroom? NOT!

I prefer a dusty, 70's office-feeling...Maybe I really have to go to London then...
