This or that

I had to make a difficult decision today when I had to choose between Riikka Fransila's vintage art pieces. There were more than the two in the photo, but these two were the most interesting ones, I think. I bought the one with the mushrooms so if you are interested in the fishman, go and buy it at TRE Christmas market in Aleksanterinkatu, Helsinki.

Winter for the walls

I have tried to find art for the walls. This aquarel is from the fifties as is most of the other paintings we have.

Can't almost believe it

We bought this from flea market, where else. I can't almost believe it but nowadays this is so me!

Our new best friends

It would be lovely to get a dog (read: labrador retriever). For now we have to settle for these two.

Visiting Africa

Ok, we did not really visit Africa but we have a brown paper wall in Vårkulla's living room and it looks kind of like African desert. At least it will, when we hang this ostrich poster on the wall.

Movie corner

We love movies and now we have dedicated a wall to them. My brother bought a bunch of old movie posters and of course we had to get some for Vårkulla. And here they are, at last on the "new" side of the living room.

Framing the fish

I bought this frame from Ikea. I should buy a frame for one bigger graphic too, but I don't want the same frame and Ikea' s other frames did not inspire me. I'll keep the measurements with me, maybe I'll find a suitable one elsewhere.

Changed already

This wall is under constant change: we buy new pictures and paintings and change the places of the old ones and get new decorations. The white labrador retriever's head from London stays put, though. By the way, I am almost used to the green colour.

Back to the fifties

I was really happy to find this graphic from 1958. The frame and the passepartout are a bit damaged but the print itself is in good condition.

Mushrooms growing out of the wall

This is a wall mushroom that is not dangerous for structures. I'd like to get a few more, but as this was found at a flea market it might take several years or forever to get another one.
