and was waiting to be manufactured, once they had gotten enough money, and
they were planning to hire someone to manufacture a big dining table for them.
All in all, Laura described the apartment in its 2004 appearance as being a bit
austere, since they had moved there from a much smaller apartment and had
not yet acquired many products for the new, bigger apartment.
In 2005, the baby had born and what was previously a mere storage room
was gradually being transformed into a baby’s room. In the other areas of the
apartment, the renovation work had been finished and the interior decoration
had progressed; they had acquired “lots of lamps” and the recently upholstered
furniture was in its proper places, including the bookcase dominating the living
room wall (P 160–161). Taking care of a baby had resulted in some changes, most
notably the arrangement of the dining and kitchen tables so that the baby’s
dining area in the kitchen would be durable and easy to clean. Otherwise, there
was no visible evidence in the apartment of the baby’s arrival. The appearance
of their living room had changed considerably due to the new furniture and
because their working table and computer had been moved to the bedroom.
Janne
At the time of the interview, Janne had lived for 9 years with his wife and two
children in a detached, 5-room house built in 1969. The house had been in good
condition when they had moved in, but Janne mentioned that they had taken it
for granted that, by buying an old house, they were committing themselves to
constant renovation work and upkeep.
