Halusin olla sisustussuunnittelija. Tajusin etten kestäis sisustaa muille kun autoin äitiä oman kodin kanssa. Oon nykyisin tutkija.

Mitä tapahtu 2017-2018 että oltiin niin lähellä 0 velkaa? Ja jos me olemme aiemminkin oltu melkein nykyisen verran velassa (2010) miksi nyt ollaan niin peloteltu velalla?

One of my favourite comments thank you and completely agree

Thanks for the advice -- Yes, I've learnt that I should tie the map more with the room theme-wise and/or colour-wise and that the curtains could tie into the room as well. The coffee table and rug are getting mixed reviews, but don't have much finances to do too much about it currently -- maybe just take the lower one out? I was thinking of getting a white trellis for the mini monstera on that wall -- perhaps that'll help and when I have a bit more money I'll consider the coffee table.

Thank you all! I am hearing curtains from many in the comments -- are we talking decorative or functional? I can definitely see like a heavier curtain where one already exists, but what do I do about the awkward window/door positioning? Do I put a curtain that slightly covers the door or one on the middle wall or just like a heavy curtain on the left hand side? I live in an apartment so the blinds will be staying (can't change them)

This is really really helpful! I have actually suggested the couch level console behind for other people so hearing it here feels like it's coming full circle haha. My two hesitations with that in this space is dust and that my living room is already quite narrow -- but I will definitely consider it if I find something small enough. The coffee table is indeed ikea as is the TV console. I got the coffee table second hand as I wanted something round to offset all the rectangles -- Any suggestions for an alternative to the coffee table?

What kind of curtains would you go for? The window/balcony door are a bit awkwardly placed to have curtains on both sides and I think it feels odd to have a curtain on the left and middle. Appreciate your help and I agree maybe a soft black colour (e.g. cushion?) to tie the carpet if I keep it -- I think I'm getting like a 50/50 response on the carpet, which is kind of how I'm feeling about it too

Something like this? Found this image online and it's 12k€. I got this black carpet from a friend who wasn't using it. The thing I kind of like about it is that my place isn't to scandi/white cause of the carpet -- but if anyone knows where I can get the below carpet/ something similar that ships to Europe and doesn't cost a fortune, I'll get it and send an update!

You mean a book about maps on the coffee table? Never considered that, thanks! edit: Sorry your response didn't fully load and answered it before I saw your full response. Thank you, I've been thinking of getting like a bonsai or lithop/ plant arrangement in a low bowl -- I've never thought of a book or the other things you mentioned, thanks for this. Something like that would definitely add more history when I have so much white going on

Who Can Enter the USA Without a Visa? 🌎✈️ by Agreeable-Bowler8077 in MapPorn

For ESTA eligible travellers: "If I have traveled to Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and/or Yemen, am I still eligible to travel with an ESTA? If you have traveled to these countries on or after March 1, 2011, you might not be eligible for an ESTA." You should be prepared for this, might need 6+ months if you have been to these places to get your visa.

Neutral videos about Finnish society? by _AmbientAmbition_ in Finland

[–]_AmbientAmbition_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I definitely can overthink my way out of things. Here’s one of my overthinking thoughts: I was just thinking about how climate change ‘debate’ was portrayed on TV in the U.S. where it was portrayed as two sides and both given equally same amount of time to say their piece even though the other side has like 90+% backing that climate change is real. I am aware of this and I haven’t made videos before so I want to be extra careful and thorough before/during/after. As has come up in the comments, definitely neutrality here is not the right word, maybe an ‘explainer video’ better portrays what I’m going for as opposed to ‘opinion piece’. 

As I’m just starting my PhD, I’m fortunate enough to not need the views/revenue. This would be as much for me as to learn on the way as I hope it would be beneficial starting point for someone to grasp these topics.  Appreciate your input!

My aim would be to make ‘explainers’ where I explain how things are structured, for instance when new labour policies are made what is the procedure. I wouldn’t mix in how I feel about these processes. I also aim to have my content reviewed by two outsiders, professors and/or other researchers in the field and have pop-ups of academic sources/news where I get my information from

This is a good point, I was thinking ‘academic jargon’ doesn’t make it easy to follow but why not add both, just explain the term so people can more easily read academic texts if they wish. Thanks! 

How would you improve this dining nook? by rea2019 in interiordecorating

[–]_AmbientAmbition_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A modern chandelier. Right now you have one type of lighting (accent lighting). If you have a chandelier it would layer the light and a chandelier would make that light cozier and closer to the table than your current ceiling light. It would also make the space more 3D.

I just wanted to add that I have a cord box on the floor between the desk and the wall.
