What is a hole, what is full
Black and white. Hole-in-one. Front-back. I'm looking for round shapes and holes. How many places can you apply the ball-hole-neck counterpart to create a repeating shape in the interior of a home. A painting of a bamboo artwork depicted from the bottom up. A hole is left in the middle, showing the sky. The painting stands as an extension of a white table against the wall. A black round tray can be placed on top of the table. The hole in the sky is as if it has bulged out onto the table as a physical...

Time for the bathroom is
Now that the bathroom is ready, we can discuss the before-and-after situations. The starting point was a basic white-tiled bathroom. It had two showers side by side, a washing machine and a basic sink, mirror cabinet and toilet seat. I envisioned a dark-walled, rough-hewn spa experience room. The next steps were to walk towards it. For the cabinets, I chose a shade of green called Studio Green. A really beautiful smoky dark grey green colour. I thought it would suit...

From beach to nail-biting
The path from the beach to our hallway is like this: I saw a suitable and sweet-looking tree lying on the beach and thought I'd make something out of it. The old tree was heavy and long, so it required sawing into three (!) pieces on the spot. After a seemingly merciless sawing, the logs were shouldered and into the car. As there were no branches in the trunk to hang the jackets on, it was necessary to...

In search of bridges
Colour is a surprisingly big unifying factor in interior design, even if the rooms are different. I really fell in love with rose gold when I was choosing the taps, and by sprinkling a little bit of that colour on small details in different parts of the apartment, it's like an invisible bridge between them. The colour unifies the different parts of the apartment in my mind. Rose gold faucets were chosen for the bath, shower and sink faucets. A momentary problem was that...

SuperUnique: Project "Soothing living room"
Alongside my own home renovation and interior design project, I also present my interior designs to others. My interior design label is SuperUnique (the photography side of things makes stars, so of course it's called SuperStar). So now the living room of a family of five is on show. The initial situation, the problem the family wanted a solution to, was a dreary living room where they wanted a sense of calm and warmth. One wall of the living room was occupied by a large desk, which automatically collected miscellaneous...

Transformation from Euro pallets to a qualified bed
The apartment has almost all the structural parts and pieces in place. Apart from the last plumber's visit, the renovation part of the apartment is done, the actual interior solutions and furniture are left. The intention is to make as much of the wood as possible. Wood is fascinating. So along with the others, I'm going to make use of the euro pallets. It's easy to get on board with this trend because the end result is free, durable, "easy" to carry in four pieces into the home and...

The move has happened!
From now on, we will live in a new home. Reporting will now take place from the new mattress in the living room, which will serve as a sofa for the time being. There's not much other furniture yet, but that doesn't matter much. Mostly on my mind is the rub from the renovation part of the bathroom, where the custom-made cabinetry is unfinished, which means the level can't be put in, which means the faucet and sink can't be used. The contractors left the job unfinished...

Cleaning
The lack of a timetable has stressed me out. When the promised delivery is not made, the sense of control is shaken. You can't schedule the next step when the first one drags on. Today I felt a sense of cleansing and calm when the bathroom furniture from Estonia, the wardrobe cupboards from Ikea and the children's beds were finally delivered on the same day. Hopefully the assembly of these furniture will go smoothly, in the evening when I visited the apartment,...
