tiles ready

we spent a rainy day in Manteli yesterday. the hot air conditioner machine is now installed, there was a sweet warm breeze to my neck every time i went out. (on the way out the diamond handle doesn't work perfectly, so it's always a little stop there. now with the warm wind it all makes sense! we will change the handle later.) the bathroom surfaces are all done! superhero had a super weekend, but now he's questioning the choice of tiles... both tiles are from basic hardware store sale piles. looking at just one of the wall tiles, it looks beautiful, but a whole wall of them brings out the plastic looks of industrially made unevenness... we'll see how it looks with normal lamp instead of working spotlight. i'm quite happy with it anyway. we of course dreamt of portuguese tiles, but since a whole space of handmade tiles is not really possible (at least in finland, in england there would be great bargains according to e-bay!), i wanted to have quite neutral tiles. the combination of big white ones and grey on the floor has been a trend some time ago, said Y, but i was looking at some interior magazines and there were many with that style still. it would be horrible to have a bathroom where you could immediately see what year's trend it was... ours is an accident. on the dry side we have wall paper, and it makes the space so much warmer and softer. i'm quite positive it will never end up looking like a trendy bathroom.

i'm so happy to have my happy girl back (not sick and eating well). she is still quite stubborn about many things, but i guess we've both learned something about making the other one angry.
