Intro

Here is the deal. 

I have never been the writing-type of person, not to even mention blogger-type of person. So pardon if my writing is not the smoothest or shiniest. :)
I guess life brings you things on your way just so you will never feel too compfortable, especially if you are ready for challenges yourself. So let's call this my little experiment to challenge myself. 

So why is this now the time for me to challenge myself with writing and blogging? 
Because there are cool and interesting things happening in my life that I find some people could find useful for themselves as well. Maybe not. But at this point in my life, I have been interested in things like that and why not to share my experience. 

This blog is going to be about home improvements and the little projects that we are working on. Slowly but still. 
We moved to the semi-detached house (double house? the individual house where you share one wall with neighbours? two family houses?) 3,5 years ago. 
Before we were living in the rental appartment that had 2 bedrooms, livigroom with open kitchen, quite large balcony and sauna in the bathroom. We really liked the place we lived in, the neighborhood and enviroment. We were expecting the second child and were not planning to move anywhere. We had planned that our boys will be sharing the room and did not really think about getting a house anytime soon because we had not saved enough money for this yet. But life had its own plans for us. Unexpectedly we found ourselves in the situation where we had a possibility to rent the double house almost for the same price as the appartment and we could not turn down this deal. 
By now we have bought the house with the help of the bank and it is our home. 
As the house was brand new and did not need any renovation or anything, we had our priorities somewhere else and did not focus too much about the interior. Now we have been thinking more and more about how to actually get our home functional as much as possible together with nice interior factor. At the moment we have whitish walls and the furniture that we have bought and ordered according to the needs trying to follow some kind of vision how we want our home to look like. 

After some time and discussions about where to start and where is the pain the biggest we have decided (at first against my will and as a result of the compromise) to start from our bedroom. We have so many different needs and things to do that it is actually very hard to prioritize. So, we have decided to start from our own bedroom as boys have their minimum needs and more covered. I am not going to say anything yet about what I think about their rooms by now and how I would want to change them :) 

So, in this blog I am planning to share the challenges that need to be solved while we are improving our home. And I don't settle with solutions that are good enough. If I do something, it needs to fit my vision and be a match. Close enough is not good enough.
