Seinä - The Wall

Monta kaunista maalisävyä olisi tarjolla makuuhuoneen seinälle. Nämä sävyt kuuluvat Tikkurilan Tunto-värikarttaan. Vai laittaisinko sittenkin tapettia...


There are so many pretty paint colors to choose from, for my bedroom wall. These lovely colors belong to Tikkurila. Or should I put wallpaper...

The Hunt For The Right Shade!

Latte, Mocha, Frappucino or Cappucino... what coffee flavour would be the right one for a bedroom wall? A friend of mine is redecorating their apartment and asked me to help her. She has started the project from the bedroom. A little this and that has been already bought and now one of the walls needs a new tone, others are white and will stay white, I assume. Just a little bit of brown or maybe grey. Hmm... this one needs a little bit of thinking.

There are so many beautiful shades from Tikkurila, Sadolin and Teknos.

Sleep Tight!

It's almost midnight and I'm still sitting in front of my laptop, working and net surfing. Why? Because, I'm a night owl. I tend to stay up past midnight almost every night. I cannot even remember when was the last time when I went to bed before the Ten O'Clock News. Now as I'm telling you when I sleep and when I'm awake, it's a good time to introduce to you a brand called ChoCho.

ChoCho is a japanese word for a butterfly and also a textile designer Kirsi Päiväniemi's own independent brand. ChoCho is all about different kind of hand printed bags, purses and other accessories. Kirsi gets inspirations for her designs from the Finnish nature and school of modern Scandinavian design. ChoCho is a 100% Finnish product and all patterns, prints and bags are designed and hand printed by the designer.

The latest designs are the Lucky Star Single, Double and Baby sheets and pillowcases. I would love to slip into these! There is nothing more appealing than fresh, new sheets on the bed.

Coming Up!

New Year is just around the corner so it's time for a little sneak peek at Marimekko's Spring 2008. It seems that there's a lot of green colors coming out...
