Habitare fair this year wasn't as congested as I would have expected. I saw interesting things here and there, but... I ended up being more intrigued by the pieces at the antique corner.

Johanna's new logo

Johanna Karttunen is a gifted photographer, currtently based here in Helsinki. She is a wizard on picturing space with details, and she's also one of the owners at Olo-huone vintage store. She is available for interior photoshoots - and she's very passionate about that, too. :) Here is the logo that I designed for Johanna.

love for Olo-huone second hand & lifestyle

Olo-huone second hand & lifestyle is a new vintage shop + café, located at Fleminginkatu 7, Kallio district. I love the concept - it's the coziest living room I know, and there's also a kitchen (= café) and a bedroom too. With reasonable prices you can have something to take home, whether it be a teapot, vintage chair, AND Sälekori, YCM feather earrings or a bag of freshly ground coffee.

This week we celebrated the opening with smiles and a good, warm atmosphere. And this is how lovely the place is:

Definitely worth visiting!

simple mood

Now that is interesting. I found a cool thing from indiska.com - a moodboard editor. You can play with textures, stamps, colors and the lovely interior pictures. What a fun way to shirk from doing school stuff.

imagining myself a home under the sun

Now the temperatures are back to boring (=zero) and the whole city has turned into a living mayhem of grey. Right now I'm dreaming of a sweet little house in... hmm, Croatia maybe... Here are my current deco-feelings.

I chose my favorite colorful pieces by Indiska. And to get deeper into the right mood I browsed through my laptop and chose a few pics of our beautiful trip to Croatia:

 

Waiting for the spring already - have a pretty day!

feathers for Christmas

Looks like metal but it's not. So beautiful! Precisely just my kind of Christmas decoration. Period.

inspiration at Gallerian

I just had to share these - some amazing and so very inspirational photos taken at Indiska Gallerian, Stockholm. This spring I have found a whole new perspective on different shades of blue. I'm totally into our new spring collections on both fashion and interior department. See yourself!

Pictures from Indiska's blog. I'm a bit hooked on it myself, ahem... :D

knobs

I'm in need of new knobs for my dear old drawer because the old knobs have partly gone lost or are just about to fall down. Doesn't help trying to tighten them up. But now I'm totally in love (!) with these antique-looking knobs. Down here you can see where the short process started from:

And next the results. Looks good I think!
