I have been to quite many homes and they all have left a different impression on me. Some I have liked a lot, some have been unpleasant and some just okay. I can’t deny that each one of us has his or her own taste and I have no right to say which taste or style is the one to go by.

I have been to quite many homes and they all have left a different impression on me. Some I have liked a lot, some have been unpleasant and some just okay. I can’t deny that each one of us has his or her own taste and I have no right to say which taste or style is the one to go by. However, I have noticed which elements please my eyes and inspire me, even to the extent that I have incorporated some for those items into my home.
If I think about the houses that have made a big impression on me, then the winner must be the country cottage of my sister’s family. The cottage is situated in Lapland, near Rovaniemi, so basically in the middle of nowhere but still only 30 minutes from a big skiing center. The cottage itself is quite big, for a cottage that is. It has a living room upon entering, open concept kitchen, three bedrooms and a sauna space with Jacuzzi and showers. We usually spend every Christmas there and sometimes stay to celebrate New Year’s Eve, too. The reason why no one minds travelling 5,000 kilometers is the magical and cozy atmosphere of the cottage. And it doesn’t matter that people have to share bedrooms and sleep on the floor.
This year when I was sitting alone reading a book while others were skiing, I looked around me and started pondering on what actually makes this place so special. The furniture was made of sea grass, there was a sheep skin carpet on the floor, a lot of books on the shelves along with board games – and fire flickering in the fireplace. I couldn’t help but stare at the fire which made a crackling sound as the wood was burning. It was actually the fireplace around which we all gathered and spent most of the time when we were inside. However, it was only now that I really started thinking about it. I remembered hearing how my sister and her husband were praising the fireplace company Uunisepät where they had bought the fireplace, but it wasn’t until now that I realized what a difference a fireplace can actually make, and now that I did I definitely have to see whether one could be installed in our town house.
