If I would make an interior magazine, it would have to be called: Slowly but Surely. It would be a small, sympathetic number, with lots of unfinished rooms. I ask you: Who ever got the idea that interiors of homes should look like a modern art museum where nobody actually lives?
I've been so sleepy and tired the whole summer and autumn - the reason is our upcoming baby, so it's kind of OK. Although it would be nice to get more done at the home. ( So many ideas - so few of them ready!) But small things make a difference: For example this lantern and lights make me happy (more so because I have to get to the bathroom at nights and it lights my way there)
Then I got my great grandmother's old chest delivered from my home town to Mikkeli. It's from 1920's and needs a bit of loving restoring. Well, there is no hurry with the restoring, because the thing is already on use in our living room. The space above it is looking really empty and I'm planning a big, colorful, textile board on the wall. (The fabric I've bought for it, is on the chest there).

Then the next big thing: A challenge! A possibility! The room that is to be 50% home office and 50% baby's room... At the moment the room contains just all our junk that has no other, better place yet (We have been living here only for 1 year - for heaven's sake!) And all the baby's stuff we'we acquired. Well as usual - I'm planning something really useful....
Instead of worrying the boring stuff (like the baby caring unit, that I let the father of the baby to get) I'm planning to paint a funny big tree on that blank wall (picture above). White walls are not my thing and this, for me, will make a huge difference on this room.
I've found many different tree silhouettes, but this one, I think, is the best:
I'ts a decorative sticker from Djeco. I might just buy the tree, but it's way too small.
