Day 39: Fireplace Tiles and Paints

On Thursday, 7th March (Day 39), more stuff had arrived. Maybe you've been wondering what kind of colours we selected for all the walls since we posted a photo of all the possibly options we were considering over Christmas and New Year. It took us a couple of weeks to debate, and finally we submitted our choices to the house company. Now that the paints have arrived, there's no turning back. Here are a lot of buckets, but you can maybe guess whose room will be painted using the buckets marked "Pioni" and "Hyasintti."

The fireplace has had a very subtle change, which we almost missed completely: the mason must've been back, and he installed the small black tiles around the hatch for the fireplace.

Here's a better view of the same feature. These tiles are maybe 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm or so. The glass door of the fireplace will be installed afterwards, on top of the tiles and the plaster.

Here's a close-up of the oven door, which is recessed into the wall, and the bricks have not been covered with plaster yet. I wonder, how they will be sealed later on.
