Home Loving

Intimate look at my favorite corner in my little apartment.

I had to take a picture of this rare moment of cleanliness. My apartment is usually under some serious creative mess, like yarns, makeup and clothing from projects I've been working on. I'm also always changing the order of everything but I think this works pretty well, for now.

My home and its interior is very important to me, it's the place I spend most of my time. I know some people who mainly just sleep at home and don't care what it looks like, I can't understand them. I love spending time at home. As long as I have food and internet access, I would happily stay in here for days, or even weeks without going outside. Just knitting, watching tv, taking self portraits, reading, eating and sleeping. I'm pretty simple like that.

I love having beautiful and interesting pieces in my home. I've carefully curated everything over here in the past years and many have sentimental value. I have some old ugly Ikea shit in my apartment too but I'm trying to get rid of them and replace them with preferably some antique furniture. For the longest time, I didn't have a sofa or armchair because I couldn't find the perfect one. I'd rather have nothing than settle for something.

Do you like my "coffee table", an old explosives box from the Finnish army, now holding a huge stash of yarn :P

Note to self: stock up on candles, winter is coming. We had first snow in central Finland today, though it melted away immediately. Can't wait for real winter, hope we get a cold and snowy one.

Good evening!
I loved your flat since first time I got a glimpse!
How small is small? Less than 30 square meters?

Agreed, antique or self made is always better. I like to collect hand made baskets at garage and estate sales.
