(Such a 21- century problem, getting all anxious after couple of days away from the internet!)
But with the flat; we're getting there. (There's not too much else to blog about this week I'm afraid :)
The living room is getting it's wall paper and I've put the old, cleaned light switches back on.
A lot of thing s will be in my favorite color combination, pearl grey and white (as seen in my header among other things). The door frames for example.
My mom was cleaning out one of the closets and saved this tin jar for me. Fazer is the biggest company (and also and one of the oldest) of bred, biscuits and most of all sweets, in Finland.
We are also keeping the original wardrobe closet. I planned to paint the closets sky blue but there was a lot of pink over from the kitchen. Alas, closet is now pink.
And the kitchen is coming up. We're making it pretty much the same as the original kitchen, only with some modern benefits. Some parts were bought ready but we have also ordered some items handmade from a carpenter. We've kept the original door handles from the old kitchen.
Eddi put up the tiles yesterday. Kitchen will be ready today and I'm off now to pick up some more wall paper we've ordered!

Lisa : I don't think it's that common anymore, they are mostly square. But we are re-using the originals ones from 1960, the ones we could. Some had to be changed.
Maegan : From a finnish company called Tapettitalo ("the wall paper house"). THey have original wall papers from decades back as well as print up new rolls of old design.
I must have those light switches!!!
