House on an island...

Like I said on previous post this has nothing to do with makeup/beauty. This is about interior design. Weirdly enough, mostly about a toilet.

Reason for this post is that I saw my parents' house done for the first time this week and also first time I saw their toilet done. It is the best-looking toilet I've ever seen. Sounds odd, doesn't it.

First I have to tell you that my parents do live on an island in Finnish archipelago and their house is mostly decorated with things that represent that part of Finland. I'm more of a city girl which means I wouldn't have chosen similar decoration but it suits their house - and them.

So if you don't want to see interior design things now it's time to go browse some other blogs...

I will start this from the toilet. Ok fine it has my makeup bag on the counter and my daughter's towel hanging which kinda ruins the sea-theme. Hopefully you can see past them.







Best feature is something I can't add here - the scent. On one of the glass bulb there's a pine tar string attached which makes the whole toilet smell like tar. And Illusia that has been written on the drawer (yes it's a drawer) is my daughter's third name. The print on the wall is taken from a beach of the same island by my father.

I also happened to like my parents' sauna since it's is quite big compared to ours.


Sauna has a fire stove which means you have to put a fire in the stove to warm it instead of modern electric ones. The fire stove can be changed to electric ones if my parents get tired of using wood to warm it up.

Also my parents wanted a fireplace and an old wood-warmed stove to their kitchen (they also have electric one next to it but apparently my father prefers the wood-warmed stove).


And this is how I spent most of my holiday (I wasn't sleeping - I was reading):


That's me reading on their spare bedroom. And apparently parents' 18yo cat liked lying down too:


That about my holiday and my parents' house.
