Decor post: Living room

Today I decided to start spring cleaning and because it was such a beautiful day and sunshine is making everything look so bright, I wanted to also take some pictures for you. I promised decorating pictures over a year ago, so it is about time... So, I live in a house that is 100 year old, little apartment that has my living room/work space/bedroom and separated kitchen. Today I thought I could clean up my living room and it feels so cozy at the moment. I have lived in a chaos almost the whole year and there hasn´t been this clean I think.. never. 

I have never been this kind of clean person.. you know, the type who keeps everything in order and clean basically every day. I would like to be though. And I am really having this crush thing about minimalism that has lasted for past year also. I wish I have the energy to sell basically the half of the things I own. I don´t need to so much, I have just too much. Maybe because I am living more smaller space, I have realized how much stuff I actually have and what I really do own.

This chair is a gift from my friend, I have always wanted a peacock chair and now I have one! It is just gorgeous. It still need little bit tlc, but it still looks awesome. I really love to put some pillows to decorate it and I also bought these beautiful fake leafs last year that fits just perfectly.

I moved! Living room and life situation

So.. life happened and I moved. By myself. Just me (and my 3 cats, rip Minni). Oh my Goddess, this is still so weird. It has been a month and I feel super weird still. I have never been just by myself, it is a big learning curve. When I moved I realized how much  stuff I actually own. Somehow almost everything has fitted here. I got a fleamarket table for 2 weeks (to get started) and I am gonna get rid of a lot of stuff, phew. 

First I slept with the air mattress that I got from my friend.. but it got broken so I got second hand mattress. I am sorry for the quality of the pictures, I took them with my phone when it was dark (mostly) because I forgot to vlog and take pictures when it was bright outside.

I would really love to be a minimalism person, but I think I can´t never achieve that. Little part of me still hopes that it can happen but oh well.. maybe you should never say never. Like the marriage I had. I thought we would never break up. Things happen. It´s still rough, I keep myself busy and try not to think about it. But real world is still there. Trying to figure out who I am and what I want in life is super big thing for me. I want to achieve a lot this year. New changes are still coming. First of all I want to be single the whole year. Let´s see how that will go. I have never been single longer than few months.

I have this image in my head how I want my life to be now and in the future. I feel that I am changing. My apartment look is even gonna change. You can see everything is basically black right. Well, in the future everything is going to be full of color. Gosh, I love my idea of bohemian, colorful, different kind of home.. which is still me. Just different side of me. You guys are gonna see so much decoration stuff in my blog.

Awesome wallcloth is second hand (got it from Milla).

Pink time! I chose pink to be the first color in the new home. I am super happy about the results I had with the paint.

And here is the situation today. A lot of stuff is already find their place and This is starting to look like a home. You can also see a little kitchen project, the chair is gonna be the same pink as the table. I really wish I will find a new tv soon. If you have one that you want to get rid of, let me know.

I also made a new look for a foot stool that is also second hand. I just love the fabric. I found it on Eurokangas, it costed me 11 euros and I still have left overs, don´t know what to do with them tho. Ideas? Pillows, tablecloth, or what?

But yeah, back in business with the blog, I have a lot of new stuff for you guys, can´t wait!

Imbolc 2018

What inspires me the most at the moment is my witchcraft. When I think about nature, wicca, witchy things and all the little details, I just feel me the most. It is very empowering feeling. This year feels so good, all the vibes are just right and everything seems to work the way I imagine it. All the photoshoots goes so well, my way to working life is doing great, my new meds are working and I don´t just cry all the time.. I have this amazing energy in me which I want to use in creative way. 

Imbolc (pagan Sabbath which you celebrate 1.-2.2.) has inspired me to do more crafts and even decorate my home in Sabbath colors and make some certain mood in our home. To me Imbolc represent white, the white snow is so pure, there is no negativity, it is like new sheet of paper, you can write or draw anything you like. Pinterest came my life again in such a big way and I fell in love with the ideas of minimalistic in decor, just little details that makes the atmosphere. Candles, white, curtains, white. I really love the old jars that has been waiting for some new use for my crafting projects, but actually they look perfect as candle holders. After I took these pictures I washed more jars so now our table in living room will be the same mood.

This sabbath inspires me to white goth style and channel some moon energy. I am so into crystals at the moment, I just wish I have money to buy more. I want to learn more about them and make my home energy to have more flow to it. Also I am interested how to use them in healing or in my own personal life. Any gem fans out there?

I also started few bigger projects I will show you after I am done with them, but the beginning/ test run you can see in the window. Last Imbolc I gathered some wood from the forest and I finally got some string and I want some big witchy decor on my walls that I have made myself. There is also coming some dreamcatchers and paintings that I have been thinking on putting to the walls. I am so hyped about this month, can´t wait to show what else I have been doing! I am so gonna celebrate Imbolc the whole month. 

Blessed be darklings.

Be true to yourself.

Kitchen makeover!

Last years July I got huge inspiration for decorating the kitchen, I bought new lamp and painted the cabinet doors black. But because I got so depressed for a year, the house has been super chaotic and now I have a phase for cleaning the whole freaking apartment and throw away anything I don´t need.. it´s a very big job and the kitchen cleaning took me 7 whole days, whew! Now nothing doesn´ t stink and everything shines.. it actually looks disturbing. How do you people do this all the time? Keep things this clean? But yeah, this is my little kitchen now, totally loving it, way better than before!

And here is some extra pictures without photoshopping because I just wanted these out and show how the kitchen looks and I feel super lazy lol. Cleaning continues tomorrow though.. ugh. Send me some positive energy! 

Winter 2017

After this years Lumous (which was month ago) I realize I haven´t been blogging and seeing few of my blog readers, who are still hanging there (although I don´t post anymore that often) I got such a boost for blogging again and I waited a little for new idea for my blog look and which way I want this to go. I have so many pictures that I haven´t use, this year has been such a great year.

My year started for me to fuck up my redside and dyeing my whole hair black. I was so frustrated about it I decided to change my whole look and do black/grey ombre hair. It looked so nice. I had huge decoration inspiration, I bought new things and changed the whole bedroom look and moved the bed and wanted the whole apartment look like viking/witchy. Fairylights everywhere and candles, it was so pretty and I really liked the atmosphere.

I saw many of my friends and had such a girl bonding moments (add lots of hearts here). I was in a such big depression phase, I don´t even know what I would have done without my friends. I love you hella lot.

Valentine´s day was again amazing, I got a little heart cake and you can see on the corner that even my cat liked it (damn you Freya).

I went in Helsinki (I was again a whole week, partying, photoshoot, friends, tattoos) to Pretty in Ink continue my Harley, it still need some for. My Harley hot pants are amazing, (they are still my favorite hot pants) got them from Deadfine.fi. I have such a big tattoo fever again.. want more! But I still have like 5 tattoos unfinished.. maybe finish them and then new ones? A hella lot new ones!

Glad to be back, love you guys, stay spooky! My blog is in progress for new look, totally in love with Life is strange at the moment. I even have blue nail polish at the moment like wtf man..
