A different tv table




I love the idea of using concrete and wood planks to build up a tv table. No screws, no tools and no manual needed -  simplicity, utility, allure and beauty.

Upcycling


 
 
 
The new life of a wooden pallet

 

I love the trend to recycle materials from the trash or the back of a garage into beautiful and unique furniture. The rough material and the used surface give to it a zest of vintage look.
I wonder where this pallet has travelled, what it has carried as well as how it was retrieved or looked for, who painted it and who built it … and I dive into my happy happy land … I love this table …

If you call it Vappu, that's what you get

It is Vappu (Walpurgis day) - a traditional spring festival and one of the biggest holiday in Finland.
Celebration starts on the evening of 30 April and continues to 1 May. All upper seconday school get to wear the white cap and you can imagine how its white colour get a darker shade every year! I would imagine the darker/dirtier it gets, the more respect you get  ;)
On 1 May, all generations party and picnic in the parks consuming sima (mead) and sparkling wine.

On Vappu's eve, I got to get together with a few friends and even though we have still cold weather it felt as summer is around the corner - maybe due to the buffet table's rainbow of colors and tastes.





 
 
Hyvää Vappua!
