I just love open space kitchens. Actually I am no longer a huge fan of doors... My dream house/apartment would be quite open. Perhaps a door on the bedroom. And glass walls on the private master bedroom's bathroom.
Otherwise, just give me SPACE. And a nice view. Like this one:
Wouldn't that be just the perfect view to see first thing when you open your door? And it's on an island... In Helsinki. What can be better?
Trying out some ideas.. I've always wanted to do some interior design in 3D, but I found most of the advanced software too complicated to get started with. So I started with a simpler one, Live Interior 3D. It's quite easy, although it could have a lot bigger libraries. Maybe as I get used to it, I'll manage to tweak the items more to my liking.
This is the first try, a warm cozy dressing room.
What is most typical of Finland... Lakes and nature... forests, pine trees, rocks, moss.. This house is surrounded by it!
Must be my favorite apartment. It was right on the sea shore on a small island in Helsinki, with an amazing view. And an indoor completely private small yard, perfect for barbecuing, sunbathing, taking break from the hot sauna..
On this day we managed to lock ourselves out... And it wasn't too hot outside, it was pretty late autumn. Luckily we had keys to a car and cell phones, so we could call the owner and get keys from him that way.
Back to bathroom obsessions... Why are we so obsessed with bathrooms? It's practically the room we spend the least amount of time in the house. Normally. Unless you have an amazing bathtub, jacuzzi, TV, or who knows what else... Well, I think some of these photos might explain a little why we love bathrooms so much.
Took me a while to see it, that IS a sink there, made of stone, in the photo below. Quite lovely, I must say! Or the bathtub near the window to the inner yard. I can see myself spending couple of hours there, reading. And of course, the glass walls. I wrote a previous post about my favorite glass walled bathroom a couple of weeks back.
Enjoy!
