From dream of a House to Dream House

I still remember when I saw our home Fisherman's cottage for the first time. It was a little yellow house surrounded by old pines, birches that seemed to be reaching sky and bushes that nobody had gardened for ages. Sad little house stood alone by the lake. There was a old fishing boat in the back. 
Fisherman who lived there had died and the family was selling the property at a low price. It was obvious that we couldn't renovate the cottage. It had mold and the cellar was full of water. The smell was terrible! I think most of the people would have ran but not us! Yep, this is it we said, me being pregnant 3 months and and our first born son was hardly two. So here The Story of Storm & Clay begins.

In my opinion Finland is not a dark country. In the Lakeland area where our house is, there is light around the year. Winter is long and the snow surrounds us over 6 months. In the summer there is hardly ever dark, and in June sun is shining around the clock. We are both creative people and our heads are always full of new thoughts and plans. We both also feel That the light is not good for us, it makes us restles. We need a Place to hide!  That is why we wanted to have a dark moody home with lots of wood. My hubby is a carpenter and made beautiful wood panels and stairs to our house. We painted the walls gray,  - storm and clay. Only the master bedroom at the attic is totally white because we don't spend time there in the daytime. But before we got to the painting stage we had something else to do! We had to Make us house plans and order The blueprints, and start building our dream home.
