Meid\u00e4n keitti\u00f6 on auttamattoman ruma, hankala ja ep\u00e4k\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6llinen. Ollaan sit\u00e4 yritetty sielt\u00e4 t\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4 fiksailla pienin muutoksin, mutta jossain vaiheessa koko keitti\u00f6n lattia pit\u00e4\u00e4 vesivahingon vuoksi purkaa maahan asti ja uusia. Ja luultavaa on ett\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n kengityshommiakin t\u00e4ytyy alimmille hirsille tehd\u00e4. Ihan mit\u00e4\u00e4n hirve\u00e4n suurit\u00f6ist\u00e4 ja kallista remppaa emme siksi ole halunneet alkaa siell\u00e4 viel\u00e4 tekem\u00e4\u00e4n. Siksi koitankin pirist\u00e4\u00e4 keitti\u00f6t\u00e4 pienill\u00e4 jutuilla. L\u00f6ysin kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 kirppikselt\u00e4 hauskat pienehk\u00f6t Metsovaaran Geisha-verhot ja ajattelin ett\u00e4 ne sopisivat hienosti keitti\u00f6\u00f6mme ja ruokailuhuoneeseen. Niiden ripustus on odottanut sit\u00e4 hetke\u00e4 ett\u00e4 saan lyhennetty\u00e4 verhotangot ja hankittua niihin paremmat kannakkeet. No sitten kun sain vihdoin kannakkeet ja verhotangot kiinni ikkunoihin, k\u00e4vikin ilmi ettei meill\u00e4 ole tarpeeksi renkaita eik\u00e4 verhonipsuja. Rosvosin v\u00e4liaikaisia nipsuja toisaalta, mutta n\u00e4m\u00e4 eiv\u00e4t pysy kunnolla ohuissa renkaissa joten joudun ostamaan uusia nipsuja jossain vaiheessa. Sain kuitenkin vihdoin verhot ikkunaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 Finlaysonin Metsovaara-kangas on muuten erikoinen. En l\u00f6yt\u00e4nyt siit\u00e4 netist\u00e4 muita kuvia kuin eri v\u00e4risen\u00e4 jollakin japanilaisella sivustolla. Kangas on liian modernia ollakseen 60-70-luvun Metsovaaraa, ja printtikin on tyylilt\u00e4\u00e4n mieluummin v\u00e4h\u00e4n modernimpaa, joten mietin ett\u00e4 olisiko se sittenkin Marjatan tytt\u00e4ren Katariina Metsovaara-Heikinheimon suunnittelema. Jos tied\u00e4t t\u00e4st\u00e4 jotain niin vinkkaa toki kommentteihin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meill\u00e4h\u00e4n on remontti edelleen pahasti kesken, tai no sanotaan ett\u00e4 se on ihan alkutekij\u00f6iss\u00e4\u00e4n vasta. Haaveilen ett\u00e4 saisin ensi kev\u00e4\u00e4n\u00e4 kunnostettua ja maalattua ainakin kaikki alakerran ikkunat. Kitit on ravistuneet ja kosteuden aiheuttamia j\u00e4lki\u00e4 sek\u00e4 sis\u00e4 ett\u00e4 ulkopuolella. Oikeasti haluaisin vaihtaa n\u00e4m\u00e4 70-\/80-luvun kammotukset vanhoihin 6- ja 9-ruutuisiin, mutta tuskin on ihan \u00e4kki\u00e4 tapahtumassa ellei nyt jostain yht\u00e4kki\u00e4 ilmaannu edullisesti 10 kappaletta ruutuikkunoita karmeineen. Siihen asti sinnitell\u00e4\u00e4n vanhoilla ja kunnostellaan niit\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n

Our kitchen is totally ugly, awkward and impractical. We have tried to revamp it with small changes, but at some point the whole floor has to come off to the ground and made new, due to water leakage. Also some bottom logs probably need replacing or repairing. So we didn’t want to do any major expensive or extravagant renovation to it yet. That’s why I try to perk it up with little things. In the summer I happened to find smallish Design Metsovaara “Geisha” curtains and I thought that these would fit nicely in our kitchen and dining room. They have been waiting ever since for the moment when I manage to shorten the curtain poles and get better brackets for them. When I finally got curtain poles on the windows, I realised we don’t have enough rings and clips to hang the curtains. I borrowed some clips from elsewhere in the house, so these are just temporary. They don’t hold very well on thin rings. I have to buy more clips and rings at some point. But atleast I was able to hang these on the window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Finlayson Metsovaara print fabric is unusual. I was not able to find any photos online except on some Japanese web page, in different colour. Fabric is too modern to be original 60-70’s Metsovaara design and to be honest, even the print looks a bit more modern. So I was wondering if this actually is Marjatta Metsovaara’s daughters, Katariina Metsovaara-Heikinheimo’s design. If you know something about this print, feel free to leave a comment below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are still very much in the middle of the renovation, well to be honest, it is actually very much in the beginning. I have solid plan to renovate atleast all windows in the ground floor. The putty has dried out and cracked and there are moisture damage both inside and out. Actually I really would like to replace these horrid 70’s\/80’s windows with old windows with 6 or 9 panes. But I doubt that is going to happen any time soon, unless 10 affordable windows with frames turn up suddenly from somewhere. Untill then we have to manage with these and just renovate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mit\u00e4\u00e4n tunnelmallisia sisustuskuvia ei meid\u00e4n keitti\u00f6ss\u00e4 saa. Satavuotiaan talon keitti\u00f6ksi se on pieni ja hankalan muotoinen. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 sein\u00e4ll\u00e4 on sek\u00e4 ikkuna ett\u00e4 ulko-ovi.\/
There just isn’t going to be cozy interior photos from our kitchen. For 100 years old kitchen it’s small and awkward shape. On this wall there are both window and door.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
T\u00e4ss\u00e4 sein\u00e4ll\u00e4 on ikkuna ja vesipiste. Alakaapit on mitoitettu edelliselle asukkaalle ja ovat meille aivan liian matalat. Vesimittari on tuossa kaapissa oikealla joten kaappia ei voi siirt\u00e4\u00e4 sit\u00e4 purkamatta. Takana olevaa ikkunaa ei siksi ole pesty v\u00e4list\u00e4 varmaan pariinkymmeneen vuoteen. Eik\u00e4 pesty nytk\u00e4\u00e4n. \/
This wall has window and water tap. Bottom cabinets are made for the previous tennant. For us they are way too low. Water meter is inside the cabinet on the right, so cabinet can’t be moved without taking it apart. This means that window at the back hasn’t been washed between the glasses for decades. And didn’t get washed now either. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jostain syyst\u00e4 inhoan noita puunv\u00e4risi\u00e4 ikkunanpieli\u00e4 ihan intohimoisesti. \/
For some reason I hate those wood coloured window sides with a passion. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4lt\u00e4 keitti\u00f6 n\u00e4ytti alunperin. Tuo tiskialtaan v\u00e4litila on samaa kamaa kuin lattia. Y\u00f6k. Sein\u00e4t ovat keltaiset. \/
This is what the kitchen looked originally. Behind the sink is same material than flooring. Yuck. Walls are yellow. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 nurkka oli ihan k\u00e4sitt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00f6m\u00e4n hankala. Tuon pikkuhellan edellinen omistaja sent\u00e4\u00e4n vei menness\u00e4\u00e4n. Vaihdoimme jenkkikaapin isoon j\u00e4\u00e4kaappiin joka laitettiin nurkkaan. Pitk\u00e4 yl\u00e4kaappi vaihdettiin pienemp\u00e4\u00e4n. \/
This corner was unbelievably awkward. That small stove the owner thankfully took with them. We swapped that small fridge for large one, which went into the corner. Long upper cupboards we swapped for smaller one. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sivuovi ulos, sen olen sittemmin maalannut vaaleanharmaaksi. Samalla v\u00e4rill\u00e4 aion maalata my\u00f6s ikkunoiden pielet. Valkoinen p\u00f6mpeli vasemmalla on vesivaraaja (edellisen omistajan asentama) joka ei voisi olla oikeastaan juuri tuon hankalammassa paikassa. Aiemmin pieni vesivaraaja oli sein\u00e4ll\u00e4 nurkassa josta muistona ruskea metallinen kannatinpalkki. \/
Side door leads outside. I have painted it light gray now. Same colour I’m planning on using window sills and sides. White large object on the left is immersion water heater (installed by the previous owner). It is probably in the most awkward place ever. Previous small heater was installed up on the wall, where you can now see brown metal bar. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Talossa asunut rouva on purattanut vanhan leivinuunin ja sen yhteydess\u00e4 todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti olleen puuhellan. Tilalle on muurattu ehk\u00e4 joskus 80-90-luvuilla t\u00e4m\u00e4 modernimpi leivinuuni. Yksi hormi on nyt pois k\u00e4yt\u00f6st\u00e4, siin\u00e4 olisi optio puuhellalle. En tied\u00e4 mik\u00e4 tuo aukko tuolla muurissa peltien alapuolella on. Huomaa my\u00f6s katon muovipinnoitettu pahvipaneeli joka on j\u00e4ljittelevin\u00e4\u00e4n puuta. \/
Lady who lived in the house had the original old bread oven and range dismantled and had this more modern bread oven made instead. I suppose it was made in about 80’s or 90’s. One chimney is not in use, so there would be option for wood range. I don’t know what that hole on the chimney under the dampers is. Notice also the plastic covered cardboard paneling on the ceiling, which is supposedly imitating wood. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

Vaihdoimme perinteisen s\u00e4hk\u00f6hellan integroituun kiertoilmauuniin ja induktiolieteen. Kaapisto ei ole kiinni leivinuunissa vaan takana on ilmatilaa, koska leivinuuni l\u00e4mpenee ulkopinnaltaan aika paljon. T\u00e4m\u00e4 ei luultavasti ole lopullinen j\u00e4rjestely. Lattiaremontin j\u00e4lkeen keitti\u00f6n j\u00e4rjestys tulee todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti muuttumaan viel\u00e4 melko paljon. Min\u00e4 haluaisin rapata uunin valkoiseksi kuten ne usein perinteisesti olivat, mutta is\u00e4nt\u00e4 tykk\u00e4\u00e4 siit\u00e4 t\u00e4llaisenaan. Hormi on rapattu \u00e4kl\u00f6ll\u00e4 Kolibri-pinnoitteella josta on vaikea p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 eroon. Kissat tykk\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t makoilla tuolla p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 koska siell\u00e4 on mukavan l\u00e4mmint\u00e4. \/
We swapped traditional electric stove into integrated oven and induction hob. Cabinet is not touching the bread oven, there is air gap between, because the oven warms up quite a bit. This probably isn’t the final arrangement. After the floor renovation it probably will change quite a bit. I would like to paint the bread oven white, like they traditionally often were, but hubby likes it the way it is. Chimney has been covered with structured Kolibri coating, which is difficult to get off. Cats love to sleep ontop of it, because it is nice and warm. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Maalasin sein\u00e4t ja is\u00e4nt\u00e4 asensi uuden, isomman yl\u00e4kaapin. Tiskiallas tulee vaihtumaan, kunhan saamme aikaiseksi. T\u00e4m\u00e4 taso on meille aivan liian matalalla ja tosi ep\u00e4k\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6llinen. \/
I painted the walls and hubby installed new, bigger upper cabinet. Sink we will change at some point, when we can get around doing it. This counter is just way too low and impractical for us. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
