I’m so looking forward to August. Not that I want to skip summer or anything, but at least there will be something lovely waiting for me. My new home! First of August should be the date when my new place is finished and ready for me to move in. I’ve got to choose the materials used there through this process – kitchen, bathroom, floors and roofs etc – so you’ve no idea how excited I am! I love my current home too, but this will be brand new and slightly bigger, and with a balcony. It’s only a couple hundred meters from here, so I’ll live in the same neighborhood. Which is important to me, this part of the city feels home to me, not right in the city centre but under 10 minutes walk from there. It will be a rental apartment (just like this one), but who knows if I’ll decide to buy it one day. Still I’m not planning on buying an apartment until I’m 100% sure that’s the right thing to do.
Odotan jo nyt elokuuta. En ehkä niin paljoa, että haluaisin kesää kelata eteenpäin, mutta kuitenkin siellä on odottamassa jotain ihanaa. Uusi kotini nimittäin! Ensimmäinen elokuuta pitäisi asunto olla asuttavassa kunnossa, koko talo on rempattu ja edelleen työn alla. Olen päässyt tuohon tulevaan kämppääni valitsemaan materiaalit keittiöstä kylppäriin, lattiasta kattojuttuihin, vaikkei tuosta minulle omistusasuntoa tulekaan. Ainakaan vielä! Vuokralla siis tulen asumaan edelleen. Asunto tulee olemaan nykyistä hieman isompi, parvekkeellinen ja pari kerrosta korkemmalla. Ja vain parin sadan metrin päässä, eli samoille seuduille jään asumaan! Se on hyvä juttu se, tykkään tästä ettei ole aivan keskustassa, mutta kymmentä minuuttia kauempaa ei kestä kävellä Stockalle tai Kamppiin.
“This phase in life when we ought to have 1) own apartment/house, 2) husband, 3) baby and so on. It’s kind of depressing, even if you don’t want it all yet, but everybody around you are moving on.”
This comment here got me thinking. I’m soon 25, and no, I don’t have an own apartment, husband or a baby. Should I? Naah, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Everything that’s meant to happen will happen, when the time is right. Would be more depressing if I’d find myself in a situation where I had picked a guy who didn’t feel right, still went on without listening to my instincts, because I’m suppose to “move on”. And then later realize that this isn’t the life I want. You can’t force it. And even being single, living in a rental place and not hurrying to have a family, doesn’t mean you’re not moving on. I’m moving on all the time, every day. And me moving to a new place and decorating it with new things, will be the next bigger step, to start fresh a new chapter. My life looks like me, and I’m happy, that’s what should matter.
Sain kommentin, jossa ihmeteltiin, miten minulla ei vielä ole tässä vaiheessa omistustasuntoa, miestä ja vauvaa. Ei siinä mun mielestä mitään huolestuttavaa ole, että pian 25-vuotiaana edelleen asun vuokralla, enkä ole perustanut perhettä. Huolestuttavammalta tuntuisi ajatus, että minulla nuo kaikki olisi, pakon edestä hankittuina. Omistusasuntoa alan miettiä vasta sitten, kun tiedän sen olevan 100% oikea ratkaisu elämäntilanteessani. Sama juttu koskee miestä, eiköhän palaset loksahda kohdalleen kun aika on oikea. Eikä minusta kertaakaan sinkkuus ole tuntunut jotenkin siltä, että palaset eivät olisi kohdallaan, elämäni näyttää juuri multa ja viihdyn näin! Kohtalolla on mulle varmasti parempi suunnitelma, kuin mitä itse osaisin tehdä, eli kaikki aikanaan.
//PS. Just counted your “votes” on last post, about 80% of you thinks I should go with the beige bag! Wow, I might really change my mind about getting the black bag as I originally planned, you have made some good points! 😀 Thank you for all the comments, really appreciate it!
PS. Laskin juuri “äänenne” viime postaukseen kumman värisen laukun valitsen, ja teistä ainakin 80% on beigen kannalla! Hui, en olisi arvannut, mutta kutina että ostan ensimmäisen laukun joka ei ole musta! Kiitos kommenteistanne, hyviä pointteja toitte esille!

Your new apartment will be in Helsinki?
Marianna says
Yes exactly! 🙂 Quite near my current home, the next block.
Lisa says
Nice to see some pictures from your new place. Good luck with it!
I’m moving this june to my own place (rental). Can’t wait to start decorating 🙂
I’m turning 25 soon as well. Don’t have my own appartment, a boyfriend or a baby but i do have the feeling that I’m moving. Like you say, everything wil happen when the time is right! 🙂
Marianna says
Thank you Lisa! Oh congrats, decorating is so fun! Loved your comment. <3
Voguerka says
Hello Dear,
I haven’t commented for a while but just so you know I’m always here, reading every post. I’m just super busy and tired having to much work. This is going to change soon as my big step to move on will be having my own business, which is both pretty scary and fascinating at the same time. I used to think this way, that everyone around me was moving on (getting enagaged, married, starting a family…) so I rushed a bit just to fit in that happy picture. Then, I realised it was all so wrong and not me. I had to leave it all behind and it cost me much more than I could ever imagine. I learnt that you should never hurry and try to satisfy others. As you said, you can’t force it. Everyone takes a different unique path and that’s good. Step by step we’re getting there. Listen to your heart, that’s it!
About the bag, I have the beige one and it’s a good refreshment to my closet. You’ve got many black bags so… listen to your instinct 🙂
Kisses,
Daria
Marianna says
Hi Voguerka, thank you so much for the support. 🙂 And no problem, knowing you’re there makes me happy! Those are some really wise words, everyone has their own path and that’s how it’s suppose to be, not force it. Congrats to you too for that big step, sounds amazing! X
Voguerka says
PS. The flat is so cool!

No hohhoh mikä kommentti. Nykypäivänä monet poikkeaa tästä muinaisjäänne-yhteiskuntapakotteesta. Ja hyvä niin, jokainen tekee kuten itselleen parhaaksi näkee.
Jos sitä vauvaa ei koskaan haluaisikaan, mitä sitten? Jos haluaa asua koko elämänsä vuokralla niin mitä sitten? Mitä ihmettä se on joltain pois. Huolestuttavampaa on se, että ihmiset arvostelevat toisten ihmisten tekemisiä, jotka ei satuta ketään.
Idhuna says
Oh it looks lovely!
Yasmine says
It’s a very nice apartment, I like it so much! Well, doesn’t matter if you have your own apartment, a husband or a son, the important thing is that you’re happy, and it’s proven that you are! I have 22 (soon 23) and haven’t a rented apartment (but I hope to have one soon ;))
So, a lots of kisses from Spain, many years that I follow you and I never miss an update 🙂
PD: look for “Costa Brava” in Google, I’m sure you’ll like it…for next trips haha (is where i live).

I really thank you for who you are, thank you for your words. I don’t know how you’re do, but always when I need it – you just write something, what I need to hear and open my eyes. Thank you, so so so much! <3
And your new home looks good 🙂
Sanna says
Wow! Ihana asunto. Pidän erityisesti noista tuplaovista makkariin(?). Saanko kysyä mitä hintaluokkaa tässä on vuokra, ei tietenkään tarvitse tarkkaan kertoa 🙂
Marianna says
Noo se on sellainen tyypillinen vuokrahinta keskustakämpälle reilu 40 neliötä haha 🙂 Ja kiitos!
Katie says
Näyttääpä hyvältä tuo kämppä! Olen nyt itse hakenut opiskelemaan Helsinkiin, enkä tiedä kumpi pelottaa enemmän, tuleva pääsykoe vaiko se mahdollinen asunnonetsintä siellä. Kuulostaa, että Helsingissä pienten vuokra-asuntojen saaminen on helkkarin hankalaa, varsinkin sitten kesällä. Ulkopaikkakunnalta tulevana toki pääsisin hoas:in kautta soluasuntoon, mutta…Oon niin kyllästynyt siivoamaan toisten skeidoja, ja haluan oman kämpän! Ei kyllä helpota mun asuntokuumetta tällaiset kuvat 🙂
Ja joo, varmasti ärsyttäviä tuollaiset “tietyssä iässä pitäisi tehdä sitä ja tätä”-jutut. Ei siinä mun mielestä oo mitään ihmeellistä, jos ei oo tuossa iässä vielä miestä ja lapsia, tai omistusasuntoa. En vaan ymmärrä niitä ihmisiä, jotka sanelevat muille kuinka pitäisi elää. Kaikki eivät halua lapsia koko elämän aikana, tai ostaa asuntoa liikkuvaisen elämäntyylin takia. Ja sinkkuuteenkin on yleensä yksi syy – se oikea ei vaan oo vielä tullut vastaan 😉
Kaikella kuitenkin on tarkoituksensa, eikä muiden ihmisten elämäntyyliä kannata mennä arvostelemaan.
Milla says
Mulla ei jotenkin ikinä tulisi mieleenkään kommentoida kenellekään tuolla tavalla, koska jotenkin oon niin vahvasti sitä mieltä, että jokainen meistä saa rakentaa ja haluta mahdollisuuksien puitteissa juuri sellaisen elämän kuin sattuu tykkäämään. Jos se nyt sitten meinaisi sitä perhettä ja omistusasuntoa/taloa 24-vuotiaana, niin mikäs siinä. Jos taas henkilö sattuisi haluamaan vaikka asua vuokralla koko ikänsä eikä koskaan perustaa perhettä, niin se olisi hänen valintansa. Ja kaikki tosiaan aikanaan 🙂 Joskus itsekin hätäilen, että pitäisikö mun olla tekemässä kaikkia niitä asioita, joita ikäisteni “kuuluisi” olla tekemässä. Sitten totean, että teen niitä omia juttujani. Ne voivat toki muuttua ajan kanssa, mutta loppujen lopuksi – mikäpä ei muuttuisi? Uusi asuntosi näyttää muuten myös aivan ihanalta! 🙂
Marianna says
Kiitos kommentistasi Milla! No sanopa muuta, olen ihan samaa mieltä. 🙂
Annuschka says
Can’t wait to see how you will decorate the new apartment. You have a very good taste!
Kate says
I agree, as long as you are happy, there is no need to be worried or rush into any of these things, husband, buying an apartment etc. These things come in the right time! When we rush into things to “move on” just because we think we need to move on, it is usually never worth it,
I’m 27 and I don’t have any of these things yet, but I am happy! so good for you ! You new place looks lovely, congrats with the new changes!
Lidia says
beautiful apartment, can`t wait to watch all decorating process 🙂 happy for you :*
Marceline says
Marianna how big is your new apartment? 🙂 Is there more than one room? I’m curious because I’m looking for an apartment in Helsinki to rent for 2 years.
ella says
Ihan uteliaisuudesta kyselen, että miten ihmeessä sait tulevana vuokralaisena vaikuttaa pintamateriaaleihin? 🙂 Vai ostiko asunnon vanhempasi tai muu tuttu ja luotti sun silmääsi noissa valinnoissa?
minttuvee says
itse mietin myös samaa;
“Olen päässyt tuohon tulevaan kämppääni valitsemaan materiaalit keittiöstä kylppäriin, lattiasta kattojuttuihin, vaikkei tuosta minulle omistusasuntoa tulekaan”
Kuulostaa oudolta, että vuokranantaja antaisi vuokralaisen suunnitelta tuon kaiken itse, ellei asunnon omistaja sitten ole joku läheinen/sukulainen…?
Marianna says
Juu, oikein arvattu 🙂

Dixi Wonderland says
I´m so happy for you! 😀
I thought you owned your apartment that you have now but do you know? If everybody jumped from a bridge docent mean that you would! I´m turning 25 this year, I have been with the same man for soon 7 years and on sunday our little dog is turning 10 years old. We still live in our 1 room apartment and trying our hardest to save money so that we can buy our new home but still have the time of our life.
I think you should be so proud of yourself. For all these years that I´ve been reading your blog you have always stayed true to yourself and been a sweetheart. If I lived in Finland I would love to be your friend cause you seem like an amazing person 🙂 Follow your own heart cause only you know what´s best for you. I hope you will enjoy your new home and I can´t wait to see how you´re gonna decorate 😀
Marta says
I’m so happy that you wrote this! I’m hearing all the time that i already should have a husband, baby and apartment. It seems like people around me care about all of these stuffs more than i do, lol! I don’t live to please anyone, i live for myself, but these voices are kind of irritating sometimes. I also believe that what is meant to happen, will happen in a right moment. I’m not rushing anything because people expect me to “move on”. Take care Marianna :* Have a great weekend. <3
Marianna says
Thank you Marta! <3 I can relate to your comment a lot. Hope you've had a great weekend too! x

So great you will have a new apartment soon! And how nice that it’s brand new!! I think you should do what feels right to you. Not because everybody else think you should do something. I am sooo looking forward to all the stories of your new apartment. Have fun with all of it! X, Elsie

How exciting this must be, getting a new place! You’ve written the right words, it isn’t about doing what everyone else is, it’s important to move on with your own rythm and making the right decisions 🙂 Happy Saturday! xx Maja

Kati says
Toivon, ettei minua tulla koskaan painostamaan asioissa, joita en halua tehdä. Lapsia en koskaan tule haluamaan, mutta myöskään parisuhde ei ole minulle sellainen must juttu. Viihdyn loistavasti sinkkuna ja minulla on elämässä paljon muita asioita, joiden tiedän tuovan minulle kaiken sen onnen, jonka tarvitsen. Tiedän monia aikuisia, jotka asuvat yksin eivätkä ole koskaan menneet naimisiin. Toivon, että se on tulevaisuudessa yhä normaalimpaa ja että minun annetaan elää sillä tiellä, jonka olen valinnut. 🙂
Marianna says
Niinpä, yhdyn kyllä tuohon, että jokaisen pitäisi elää juuri niinkuin itselle parhaalta tuntuu. Kiitos kommentista Kati! 🙂

25-vuotiaana ei tarvitse olla sitä sun tätä, koska silloin on vielä niin nuori. Kukin elää miten haluaa eikä elämä mene suunnitelmien mukaan 🙂
Camille says
This place is going to look really nice, for sure! Already bright, so that’s a really good point!
For the “moving on” thing, I am like you I think, turning 25 in november, and I don’t own an appartement, don’t have a husband or even a boyfriend, so I can’t even think of having a baby haha. But I am really happy with my life, and as you said, it doesn’t mean we don’t “move on”, we are, in our own ways. + we all have history and sometimes, having all that family thing isn’t right for now.
GO FOR BEIGE CELINE !

Hey Marianna, your words remind me of a TED talk I’ve watched recently (http://www.ted.com/talks/meg_jay_why_30_is_not_the_new_20#t-873680). That woman’s words were so inspiring to me, because actually I’ve been in a relationship for 9 years now, even though I’m only 24 years old. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I hadn’t been in that relationship for such a long time. I’ve been planning everything along with my boyfriend since I finished school and went to university and yes, maybe I didn’t go for a semester abroad because of him and I didn’t travel the world with friends because of him but did I miss anything? No, there are so many things to come and I’ll have the possibility to make the best out of my life. The TED talk really helped me to be even more content with the way my life turned out so far and it told me that we don’t have to hurry up with anyhting. I’m not planning on getting married and I can’t imaging having a baby so far and who knows if I’ll ever settle down somewhere and buy an apartment? It’s your life and as long as your happy with what you’re doing, it’s good 🙂 you’re wise enough not to take the next best guy home just because you think that it’s time for you to get married or to buy the next best apartment just because you think you should own one and that’s everything that counts! Everyting else will work out 🙂
Enjoy your new home, hope you’re showing lots of pictures once you’ve started decorating 😉 and considering the bag, I would also go for the beige one, since you already have a bunch of beautiful black bags you can use all winter 🙂
Kisses,
Vanessa

Ei se omistusasunto niin iso riippakivi ole. Omani osti “kypsässä” 19 vuoden iässä. Ja kävin välissä ulkomailla opiskelemassakin, nyt palaan kotiin ja oon nii onnellinen! Ei enää tarvitse varoa tekemisiään ja pitää kauniita tauluja varastossa!

susanna says
Ihanan näköinen asunto! Onpa kiva että on jotain mitä odottaa kesän jälkeenkin 😉 Pakko vielä sanoa tuohon saamaasi kommenttiin, että oli kyllä mielestäni kummallinen ajattelutapa. Itse koen 25-vuotiaan vielä nuoreksi, todella monella on sen ikäisenä vielä opiskelutkin kesken. Liian hätiköity perheen perustaminen ja asunnon ostaminen kertoo kaikesta muusta kuin kypsyydestä (toki on poikkeuksia). Kyllä sen tietää sitten kun on oikea aika… 🙂 Elämää pitää elää hetkessä, ettei sitten kadu myöhemmin! Nauti keväästä ja tulevasta kesästä ihana Marianna! 🙂

Kiitos Susanna, olipa ihana kommentti! Oon täysin samaa mieltä. 🙂 Ja samaa myös sinne! <3

So happy that you have such great things to look forward to this year! It’s a dream to decorate a place from scractch the way you want it. And we all know that you’re good at making it super pretty! And I can relate to you so well on this trying to fit the ‘frame’. I just finished university a few days ago and I am starting work tomorrow, it’s crazy since I’m just 20 but I hope I don’t fall into the frame of trying to be like others and do things at my own pace, just like you are. Proud of you Marianna, you’re a strong girl so don’t give up and keep smiling!

Marianna, you have a very relaxed and wise point of view. Very likeable!
Everything in life as its own time. When i was 25 (a really long time ago) i wished i had a husband, a house, kids and stuff. And i was… aaahm?!… kind of sad about being single. Totally needless wasting time to be depressed about single-life… it was good and a wonderful experience to get to know yourself better.
Now i am “30-something”… married to my Mr Big and mom of a really nice and cute boy. I am happy and everything is right and perfect like it is.
I wish i had found your blog when i was 25, because it seems you are enjoying your life and you are friend with yourself.
Thanks you for wise and nice words, blogposts and beautiful and inspiring outfit pics (yes, still inspiring to me though i am… “older” ;-))
janna says
Aivan ihana asunto! Sisustus aiheisia postauksia odotellessa 😉
Pakko kyllä kommentoida myös tuota mies,asunto ja vauva kommenttia… Minulla on ystävä joka on juuri samassa tilanteessa täyttäen tänä vuonna 26. En hänen ystävänään haluaisi että kukaan kommentoisi hänen elämäntilannettaan. Tiedän että aihe on hänelle kipeämpi mitä haluaa ulospäin antaa ymmärtää. Mutta asioilla on tapana järjestyä omalla painollaan. Suhtaudut asiaan todella hyvin ja olet ehkä jopa enemmän sinut asian kanssa kuin ystäväni joka saa kuulla asiasta sukulaisiltaan, työkavereilta ja tutuilta… Asiat voivat olla kumminkin sinkkuna, miehettömänä ja lapsettomana paljon paremmin kuin edellämainutut omaavalla. Jokainen elää elämäänsä omalla tyylillään eikä sitä tulisi ulkopuolisten lähteä kommentoimaan.
Kiitos tästä postauksesta ja täytyy linkittää tämä ystävällenikin 🙂
Sarah says
Hi Marianna !
Such a good project coming on ! Hope it will be as you’re dreaming of it !
And about moving on… I agree so much ! It became something needed to have al of this,and a lot of people don’t understand how it is possible to be happy without it. But it is ! I am 22 but living exactly the same !
Alesya says
Ohhhh! Congratulations! Such a beautiful place
Stephanie says
Longtime reader, first time commenter…I had to comment because you so perfectly worded exactly how I feel about the pace we’re all “supposed” to be moving at! I’m slightly older than you, about to be 26, but I am in the same place (or it seems) as you. I don’t own a home, I’m not married nor in a relationship and don’t see that happening for awhile. I constantly feel pressure or get anxious that I’m not living “correctly” or moving at the “right pace”, but I have to remind myself life isn’t a race and my path is not going to be the same as someone else. It’s also funny/neat that though we live in completely different countries/opposite sides of the world (I’m American and live in Texas) we experience similar pressures, anxieties, etc. Sorry for the novel I just wrote but I’ve loved your blog for years and I love to see that I have more in common/connect with you on other topics besides fashion 🙂
Seri says
What a lovely new home! I’m so very excited for you. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your thoughts about stages in life. That has been something I have really struggled with. I have been married for almost 5 years, but haven’t had a child yet and I feel so judged and asked all the time why I haven’t. It’s not that I don’t look forward to being a mother, it’s just that it’s not that season in my life yet. I’m growing and moving forward in so many other ways though and discovering things about myself that have been critically important. Your words were perfect. I’ve been a fan of your blog for a couple of years now since I found it. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your life!
