D W E L L I N G W I T H D E S I G N surface renovations when they had first moved in. The renovation involved him building a new kitchen and toilet. HP: How long have you been living here? J: Five years. Around five years. This one I did. Actually, I didn’t do more than just some surface redecoration. I built that kitchen there myself, the new cupboards and then the small toilet. Otherwise this was in fairly good condition. ( Jari 07 45-48) 92 Jari pointed to the worn-out floors as an example of something that could be renovated, but, since until recently, they had had two big dogs, they had not seen the point in doing anything to the floors. J: Why does this look like this? Well, we have these two big dogs. They have left their own marks on this parquet flooring and everything and there is no point in fixing it before the dogs have gone. They have such sharp claws and they are heavy, big German Shepherds; they leave their mark. They run every time the doorbell rings. And the first 10 metres, they accelerate and they don’t get much of a grip, so you know what kind of marks that makes on the floor ( Jari 07 48-52) Since the renovations had taken place a long time ago, we did not talk much about the effort that he had put into the projects; or rather, Jari seemed not to quite agree with me that the projects would have required much effort. One can imagine, though, that renovating a kitchen would require a lot of work. Jari emphasised several times during the interview that he does not “think about design”. J: I don’t know if I am a good interviewee or anything but I really hardly ever think about design in that respect. But then, when you start to think, especially when I talked about tools, there the design is important: that they are shaped for the hand. So that they fit into difficult, narrow places and [...] it is, it is like that. In this case the design is important, though you never really think of it as design. ( Jari 497-502) His role in their furnishing projects was to build and carry out the project, while his wife designed their interior decoration and hunted down the materials and designs that she liked.
HP: A-ha. So these were acquired by her? J: Yeah, all of them, I don’t really interfere with those. Most of the time it’s the wife who gets things, my job is just to hit a nail into the wall so that it’ll end up in its place. ( Jari 07 155-158) I probably should add that Jari seemed to be quite comfortable with that kind of division of labour and responsibility. On the other hand, their children also had lot to do with their interior decoration since, for example, the children’s hobbies (gymnastic equipment) took a prominent place in the living room (P 102–103). The family’s future may involve major efforts at modifying their mode of dwelling, since Jari owns a piece of land but has not yet decided whether or not he wants to build a house there. Jari’s following comment illustrates his general matter-of-fact attitude towards building things and doing renovation projects: 3 D E S I G N E N T E R S H O M E 93 J: I’m in this situation that my parents live, in [a city], and I already have a plot there. And I have, I have always been told that if that day comes when you want to build, the boys on the building site, that we’ll put a group together and get a house built for you. It really doesn’t take long for 10 carpenters to build a house. There would be the labour, yes, but I haven’t done anything to get it done yet. But it’s not an impossibility. ( Jari 07 38-44) P 102–103. Photographs from Jari’s living room 102 103
