So here it is, our livingroom! It’s not even close to being done but I wanted to share it with you anyway. Don’t mind the long boxes of laminate flooring stored in the corner near the window, it’s for the upstairs hallway floor. There’s still a lot missing from this room – we have to buy a curtain rod, a rug, a TV-stand and a light fixture (this one is from our old bedroom), but I don’t mind that it’s not all there yet. The floor is nice enough that I don’t even miss having a rug there for now and anyway, it’s good to live in this space for a while before buying everything. Also, we want to see where all the furniture ends up being before we hang any art on the walls.

We painted most of the walls in this new apartment with this same light grey and I really love it, it’s just enough color (I was getting tired of white, as nice as it is) but still neutral enough. Minna found the new sofa table from a trift store (for about 20 Euro!) so the old sofa table holds our magazines etc in the corner. We really need to get a dresser or a small bookcase or something for this room for magazines, books and board games but I don’t want anything too big and bulky because I don’t want to make the room feel too full.

I made some pillowcases during the weekend. I’m not very good with the sewing machine but these turned out surprisingly nice! The fabric with the orange flowers is from hollabee (from Ink & Spindle), I adore their designs!
