I made my man wake up early on a Saturday for a daytrip to the city to go to all the secondhand hotspots in search of more antiques.

We need (read: I want) more storage, lights and art. We scored two out of three at a very reasonable price, not bad at all.

In the picture above I’m testing the selfie capability of the gorgeous antique wardrobe and it’s pretty fucking neat but a bit too pricey at 900€. I think I can find me a wardrobe (or three) at a fair price from the secondhand online site I use if I just have enough patience. I just hope this doesn’t haunt my dreams…

I didn’t have to go home empty handed because we found a cheap little flower painting with a nice solid frame. To be honest, we care more about the frames than the art, because it’s fun to gather random art and it can always be replaced by a photo or something my sister gifts to me at Christmas. HINT HINT!

Another thing we found was a much needed chandelier. Soon the sun will only rise for a few hours and we are missing at least four ceiling lamps and many that I want to replace because they are some Ikea leftovers or just bare bulbs.

The chandelier is not crystal, just plain glass but after I took out all the pieces and washed them it looks pretty shiny. For now it’ll be in the library but I’m always changing the interiors so it might end up somewhere else when we get more lights.

Where is the petition to sign to turn this into a interior design/self-portrait photoshoot blog?

I think I’ve seen one ceiling fan in my whole life, it really isn’t a thing at all in Finland. Does it do anything? Just circulate the air a bit? 😅

A good quiet one helps cool you when you are in bed and it's hot. They can also be useful to push warm air down from the ceiling when you have your heater on when it's cold out. I found out I like them as it seems to be hotter here than ever before. Of course central air conditioning is an absolute must practically everywhere here now. It should be made into law like heating is. We're having an extreme heat wave now. I'm freaking about my 92 year old mother. It's really bad.

Looking for antiques to add interest to a room is a day well spent. I think it add character and is far better then that cookie-cutter furniture and accessories found mostly today. You know, IKEA and so on. It seems like you had a great day out.
