Revontulet - Aurora Borealis

Aika muuttaa ihmistä.

Muistan kuinka nuorempana en tykännyt Tauno Wirkkalan Revontulet -lasimaljasta lainkaan. Minusta se oli tuolloin niin "mummomainen".
Vaan kas kummaa... nyt tämä lasimalja löytyy keittiönkaapistani ja minusta siinä on sitä "jotain"...

Time changes people.

I remember the time when I was younger and thought that this glass bowl, Revontulet by Tauno Wirkkala, was hideous. It was so "granny-like" back then.

But that was then... now I'm the owner of this glass bowl and I think there's "something about it"...

Kuuden Kopla - Six Pack

Mukavan kokoisia, kivoja kädessä ja taattua Suomalaista Designia. Vaikka oluen ystävä en olekaan niin nämä kuusi pientä, Oiva Toikan suunnittelemaa 1/3 L tuoppia, päätyivät kesällä keittiön kaapin täytteeksi. Hintaa laseille kertyi yhden pienen setelin verran.

Perfect size, nice to hold and reliable Finnish Design. I found these six glass mugs this summer and I just got to have them, even though I'm not a beer drinker. They were a real bargain! Designed by Professor Oiva Toikka, one of the greates names in Finnish glass.

What's Your Style?

How do you decorate your home? What is your style? Do you like modern, classic, romantic or maybe country style?

What's my style? How do I decorate my home? Well, I like mixin and matching old and new. I like simple things, modern but not too modern. And the colors... I like white as you might have noticed, earthy tones but also bright and bold colors.

I'm a flea-market junkie. I love to search for bargains that I can transform into something wonderful for my home. I like scraping and painting, to give a new life and maybe a new use to something old.

Here is a picture of my latest flea-market finds. Two half litre beer glasses from the 70s, designed by Oiva Toikka. I don't even drink beer, but hey, that doesn't stop me from searching and buying these! I'm not a coffee drinker either, as you might have read from my earlier posts, but still you can see in the picture a coffee machine. Isn't she a beauty!
