I have been looking at the Marimekko fabrics for months. I really want some curtains been made from a Marimekko design. One think i can’t and thats sewing, im trying to find premade curtain with the Marimekko fabrics but that seems not goin to happen. So one of my missions is to figure out how to create curtain without destroying expensive fabrics. Here is a list of most Marimekko fabrics.

It has been quite for a while and fall has begon. This means time to clean the furnace and test our steam radiators (from 1936). I try to find information on how to balance steam radiators and since its a dying technology there is not much info out there. We have hissing and overheated radiators so i know i need to balance the air vents on every radiator. I think this a job by itself and im spending hours tweaking the air vents. Replacing and finding faulty air vents is like working a crime scene, here is a list of Hoffman air vents now you tell me which one goes where…

So this weekend we had a little accident with one of our huge trees in the backjard. After a afternoon of heavy rain and wind a treebranch broke of the tree and fell in our neighboors driveway. We called the tree to remove the broken brances.

Project started out with only painting the walls…(color Fairmont Penthouse Stone)

Before i even know i had and empty bathroom and was replacing almost everything. When i have time i will write down what i did. It involved Ikea countertops, rustoleum metal finish, krud kutter and a new toilet. Here as some before and after photos, minus cleanup.

The dishwasher that came with the house was not working well, so we deceided to upgrade. Walked into Sears, picked the whatever stainless steal model the salesguy promoted (Kenmore) and had it installed this week.
