Curtains in my parents house

In Espoo in my parents house there are some hand sewed curtains I would like to show to you. Some years ago we did big two sided curtains (2,75 m) between the kitchen/dining and our livingroom by using diffenet colours of raw silk, cotton and some other fabricks.. Now few weeks ago we did again with my mom new two side curtains to the tv room that used to be my room. In the tv room we also made new window curtains and recovered the footstools with old pillow covers and same fabrics used for the other stuff.

Observation

Wondering our studio table with my camera and magnifying glass. Brushes, wooden bowls, old painting and ceramic birds, pot for art equipment, the magnifying glass and porcelain vase with painted tiger.

Evening mood

Chinese antique lamp and Kaija Rosma's fashion figure.

Villa Angelika

Villa Angelika is an "out of the ordinary" café in Helsinki. It has been closed for some time, but soon they'll open it again. The place is owned by a Polish noblewoman and the house (+ interiors) are very unique in Finland.

All the decorative chairs are from the 18th century
(and you can actually sit on them!).

Chinese bench

I could describe this as my first piece of furniture. I love Chinese antique! I also think using antique furniture is more ecological than buying always new new new and same time throwing stuff away.

The bench, approximately 80-100 years old

It has the stamp

And beautiful surface

I think it will make fantastic tv table with some plants and dvd shelfs.
