Makuuhuoneen remontti on viel\u00e4 viimeistely\u00e4 vaille (pienen vaatekomeron ovi ja karmit) joten kuistilla nelj\u00e4tt\u00e4 vuotta majaileva vaatekaappikin odottaa viel\u00e4 lopullista paikkaansa, sek\u00e4 ilmaiseksi saatu Askon kirjakaappi odottaa p\u00e4\u00e4sy\u00e4 yl\u00e4kerran ty\u00f6huoneeseen sohvan kaveriksi. T\u00e4m\u00e4 on sit\u00e4 niinkutsuttua dominoefekti\u00e4. Eli pit\u00e4\u00e4 tehd\u00e4 ensin asiat A ja B jotta voi tehd\u00e4 asian C. Mutta askel kerrallaan, hiljaa hyv\u00e4 tulee. Salaa v\u00e4h\u00e4n haaveilin ett\u00e4 t\u00e4n\u00e4 kes\u00e4n\u00e4 saisin purettua ruokailuhuoneen lastulevykomeron. Se kunnon ruokakomero nimitt\u00e4in v\u00e4h\u00e4n kuumottelee jo. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAs the renovation of the house progresses, we\u2019re also finding ourselves in need of new furniture. The fact is, you can\u2019t furnish a seven-room house with furniture meant for a small one-bedroom or even a two-bedroom apartment. So this week, I bought us a third sofa. It feels a bit silly saying it out loud. I mean, now we have three sofas. It sounds like an awful lot of large furniture when we\u2019ve previously lived in apartments where there was barely enough room for a one sofa. The truth is that our hall, also known as the living room, is larger than the living room and open kitchen of our former home combined. So, in addition to bookshelves and desks, it easily fits two sofas, three and a half coffee tables, a mirrored console table, a couple of armchairs, and a bunch of other chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This third sofa is for the future study upstairs. I cleared enough space in there so we could fit the sofa into the room, but there\u2019s still a lot of cleaning and organizing to do before I can start wallpapering the room. Have I already shown you the wallpaper for the room? I\u2019m not quite sure if it\u2019s popped up on the blog yet, but it matches the new sofa perfectly. Here\u2019s a tip for other furniture hoarders: we found those little lifting straps with sturdy loops at both ends to be excellent for carrying. You just slip them under the legs at both ends of the sofa and the lifting strap over your shoulders, and even a heavy, awkwardly shaped sofa is much easier to carry. I didn\u2019t get a picture of the lifting straps, but I\u2019m talking about the short 2-meter ones you can get, for example, here<\/a>. Hubby recently bought them for another lifting job, but they worked perfectly for this sofa move as well. I don\u2019t have much grip strength in my hands, but my core is in good shape, so once I got most of the weight onto my shoulders, it was no problem at all to carry the heavy sofa up to the second floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bedroom renovation is almost finished (just the door and frames for the small closet left to do), so the wardrobe that\u2019s been sitting in the lobby for four years is still waiting for it’s final spot, and the Asko bookcase I got for free is waiting to be moved into the study to sit next to the sofa. This is what\u2019s known as the domino effect. In other words, you have to do things A and B first so you can do thing C. But one step at a time\u2014slow and steady as they say. I\u2019ve been secretly hoping that this summer I\u2019ll be able to tear down the chipboard closet in the dining room. Proper pantry is starting to seem like our most coveted thing.<\/p>\n\n\n Sit\u00e4 mukaa kun talon remontti etenee, tulee my\u00f6s tarvetta uusille huonekaluille. Fakta nimitt\u00e4in on ett\u00e4 pienen kaksion tai edes kolmion huonekaluilla ei sisusteta seitsem\u00e4n huoneen taloa. Niinp\u00e4 ostin meille t\u00e4ll\u00e4 viikolla kolmannen sohvan. Se tuntuu n\u00e4in \u00e4\u00e4neen sanottuna hassulta. Siis ett\u00e4 meill\u00e4 on kolme sohvaa. Se kuulostaa ihan hirve\u00e4n suurelta m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4lt\u00e4 isoja huonekaluja kun on… <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/huonekaluja1.jpg?resize=640%2C1024\")
New sofa for the upstairs study looks awfully big in the photo, in reality two people can sit comfortably and three a bit more squeezed in. Seller, who didn’t have space for it after all, told me that they got this from hairdressers where this had been for the past 60 years as a customer seating. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/huonekaluja2.jpg?resize=800%2C609\")
Sliding glass doors have gone broken over the years, but book case itself is still quite usable with small tlc. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/huonekaluja3.jpg?resize=653%2C1024\")
Future clothing cabinet of our bedroom is waiting for couple more shelves and new feet. Also some details and a key are missing. After some small reno it will be back on the original use as a wardrobe.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/huonekaluja4.jpg?resize=576%2C1024\")
I recently bought more storage space too. This modern little drawer and small archive cabinet. These will store some handcrafting materials. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/huonekaluja5.jpg?resize=603%2C1024\")
