Dream kitchen (or kitchen dreams)

Don't you just see the perfect 50's kitchen with yellow-black retro wallpaper and candy colour furniture? You don't? Well, I do (and am hoping the husband will keep up with the good work..)

Lazy day

I didn't have much energy to do anything today. I raked wet leaves for an hour and half and after that read interior design magazines. Luckily I have an energetic husband, he went to Rauhala and got rid of the plastic carpets in the hall and living room. The wooden floorboards were in a rather good condition so some sanding and painting is required, but no need to change the boards.

Memories are made of this

We bought a house my grandpa has built. In one drawer we found a photo of grandma and grandpa, taken around the 30's. We got the photo framed by professionals and now have a very nice picture to hang in Rauhala (after renovation, of course).

Note to self

We visited Runeberg's museum in Porvoo today. There was a dark separate room for dishes that had a window to the room next to it. A great idea, we have a little room under the stairs and a window from there to kitchen would look nice and give some light to the storage room.

First things first

Of course I bought wallpaper for the kitchen before even signing the papers of the house, wouldn't anyone? I just had to as I fell for this Stig Lindberg design at first sight and it just happened that Värisilmä had a campaign lasting the day I saw these the first time. 20 % discount and only for the day, what else there was to do but buy the damn things!
