Pidin lupaukseni / I kept my promise

Lupasin tyttarelleni seka itselleni etta saisin hanen huoneensa sisustettua tammikuun loppuun mennessa. Eihan siina enaa paljon ollut tekemista mutta pikkuhiljaa.... pikkuhiljaa. :)

I promised my daughter and to myself that I would have her room ready and decorated by the end of January. There weren't too many things to be done but bit by bit...... :)

Nama nelja kuvaa on otettu niin etta koko huone nakyy.  Vaihdoin tyttojen matot keskenaan. Vihrea meni pikkuneidin huoneeseen ja turkoosi tuli isolle neidille. Piristi huonetta ihmeesti. 

These four pictures have been taken so that you can see the whole room. I changed the rugs between the girls rooms. Green one went to the Little Miss' room and the turquoise came to Big Miss. It made a big difference.  

Neiti rakastaa keijuja. Han sai taman keijun purkissa yksilta syntymapaivilta. Puiset sienet ja pupu on kirpputorilta Suomesta. Loysimme ne viime kesana. Han tykkaa luonnosta. Loytaa kaikenmoisia aarteita ja kantaa niita taskut vaarina sisaan. Onneksi ei sentaan ottiaisia.

Big Miss loves fairies. She got this fairy from a birthday party. The mushrooms and the bunny are from a flea market in Finland that we found last summer. She likes nature. She finds treasures from outside and brings all kinds of things inside. Luckily not creepy crawlies though.

Iso nalle on itse asiassa minun. Hanen nimensa on Antonio. Sain sen vuonna yksi ja kaksi Texasissa ollessani vaihto-oppilaana. Isompi neiti on sen nyt ominut. 

The big teddy bear is actually mine. His name is Antonio. I got him a long time ago when I was an exchange student in Texas. Big Miss has now adopted him. 

Tein tupsunauhan koristeeksi oven pieleen.

I made a pompom garland to decorate the door frame.

Han rakastaa myos lukemista. Ostimme yopoydalle lukulampun IKEAsta. Tykkaan etta se on pieni ja huomaamaton mutta tarpeeksi tehokas led lamppunsa ansiosta. 

She also loves to read. We got her a night/reading light from IKEA. I like that it's small, slim and not intrusive but powerful enough with its led light.

Seinalle teippasin washi teipilla omalla printterilla printattuja kuvia. Mietin ensin kehyksiin laittamista mutta nain kuvat on helppo vaihtaa uusiin eika tarvitse miettia reikia seinassa. 

Tammikuun viimeinen paiva kaikki oli valmista. 

I used washi tape to put up some pictures on the wall. I printed them with our own printer. I was thinking first to use frames but decided against it. Now the pictures are easy to change  and we don't have to worry about holes in the wall. 

Last day of January everything was ready.
