She wondered in the house of stillness. There had been an attempt to live in Helsinki. Now it seemed so so long ago. Is she stuck in this house for ever? Will she find out what to work on next? Is there anything more left for her than being a wife, lover and a grand mother?…

#1 DECORATING RULE
It is unusually early in the morning. Ini loves her morning sleep. She does not know why she woke up so early, but anyway she is at her laptop writing about what she thinks is the most important decorating rule. To start with she (as many times before) checked what Abigail Ahern has to say…
GET INSPIRED WHEN HOME SICK.
Yesterday was a home sickness day. Searching inside her soul Ini found out that the sick feeling was her current home in Helsinki. She loves colors, flowers and great food. Her core value in life is beauty. Beauty in environment and beauty in people. She knows that there is no perfection in life, so do not understand her…
ENVIRONMENT is our OUTER SKIN
This moring in Facebook somebody posted a link to an article about how you should get away from a person that is poisoning your mind. The same applies to our physical environments. We sould either get away or change our surroundings if we do not feel good at any particular space. The tricky part is that we get used to what we…
STILLNESS of MEMORIES
When looking at the cover photo there is stillness. Stillness of memories of years and lives of different people. Memories are still side of the life. You can’t do much about it anymore. You can try to rewrite the memory, but the original is there. Memories are seen differently by different individuals, but still they are still –…
REFLECTIONS OF US ”ME”
If you are interested in decorating, bear with me today. This article is mostly about me, myself and I. I know people are usually interested in themselves so probably I’m writing this to myself.

LISTEN TO THE CHILDREN.
During the weekend I had an opportunity to decorate a 4.5 year old boys room. He is in the left in the picture. When he said WOW! I knew the job was a success. This brings me into the lesson I learned studying feng shui. We all have different energies that we need, we all…
PRIVATE EYES OF THE HOUSE.
In 1997 when my mother was visiting us we started our garden together. She has what we call in Finland ”a green thumb”. She can make everything grow beautifully and with ease. She says windows in our houses are our eyes to the outside world. When you start planning your garden you start it from the inside…
DECORATE UNTIL – NEVER FINISHED.
Have I not found my style? This question was asked from me 20 years ago, since I was changing the colors and themes of my home very frequently. No, I have not, and I do not want to? That would be boring. How about you? Are you living in a flow of different life situations…
MINDFULL PILLOW CASE.
Decorating is all about your mind mixed with your surroundings. You can read your environment and notice what is happening in your mind. Our mind is partly created ourselves and partly by others and the universe. It is very important to decorate mindfully. Thinking! Is this getting me where I’m going and who I want to become?…
SMILE IN A ROOM.
When I walk into a room that makes me smile, I feel at home. Today I got a present and immediately after placing it on to the wall it made me happy and smiling. It is the best therapy. The idea is to fill your space with stuff that rises your energy. Get rid of items that…
SHAPE IT!
Think about an egg. What would you change in its shape? Yes, it is formed to a completion. We might want to change the outside or the inside. In decorating shapes are important factors to balance the insides and outsides of our environment. In nature we see a tremendous amount of different shapes. So making an interesting…
