Iina and Taneli decided to move from an apt. building to this cute blue detached house that was built in 1925. Previously, their favorite decor was 1950s but when they moved to this 1920s home, they decided on Granny Modern.
The cold porch is a storage space. A wooden sofa was found in the loft of the family farm. Iina repaired it with her father, first dismantling it into its original elements. Isn’t this a cute little porch?
Iina’s mother was throwing away the graceful armchairs so Iina rescued & reupholstered them. The rattan sofa, from the turn of the 20th century, was found in a flea market.
Taneli collects LPs and they’re played on her mother’s old turntable.
They use the fireplace every day, with wood from Iina’s parents’ trees.
Because they don’t want to live in a museum, they’d rather fix and paint old furniture, themselves.
Iina plans to paint the 1950s hutch mint green.
The wall of the foyer is wallpapered in the pages of newspapers and magazines that had been used as insulation. Iina decoupaged the little chest with paper napkins.
The couple sleeps in Iina’s grandmother’s old bed.
While they combine patterns and colors wildly, pink keeps the whole color scheme under control. They think it provides a good background for the rest of the interior.
Look at how cute this yellow chest turned out w/the new drawer pulls.
When Iina sees a fabric she likes, she buys it without knowing what it will be, b/c she enjoys sewing. She found the old desk in her parents’ attic and painted it yellow, herself.
Iina said, “I also love wallpapers. Many are afraid of getting bored with colorful pattern wallpaper. Useless fear! Rather, I would get tired of the white walls. We only have a few paintings, because the wallpapers are made of artwork. ”
Iina would have liked a completely pink bath, but not enough tile was available, so they ended up with assorted pastels.
Pretty repainted lawn furniture. What a cute house!
