Grandmother repair. How to upgrade Soviet Interior

In our time, not so easy to buy a comfortable housing and to direct repairs. Everything costs money, and if they do not, people take a mortgage loan with mad interest.

We decided not to take loans and buy an apartment in the Khrushchev. We bought 3 years ago for 1.5 million rubles. 2 bedroom apartment with the so-called "grandmother's repair."

Let's talk about the Soviet interior, and ways to do that - something more modern.

The bedroom in the Khrushchev

The walls in the bedroom and in the living room never seen wallpaper and other finishes. Just whitewash. Ceilings - is the same. On the floor in the bedroom was linoleum with a plinth and self-tapping screws that are visible from the outside.

I do not know why it did the previous owners. Skirting can be simply stuck on liquid nails or other adhesive. It would be easier and faster. By the way, there are now commercially available self-adhesive baseboard floor:

In the bedroom is still there is a huge closet to the ceiling. the problem probably get a good furniture in the Soviet era prompted builders to make such a case.

Update Soviet cabinet can be the remnants of wallpaper, paint or make decoupage.

But we decided to make out the case and make a new drywall or other material as the ceiling. The documents of this cabinet is specified, and if it does dismantled, it will be considered redevelopmentSince the change room area (bedrooms) and the appointment. To legitimize the need to pay 2700 rubles and even a lot of documents to collect. Therefore dismantle easier, but to make a new to-ceiling windows made of particleboard, gypsum board or plywood.

As soon as we stopped in an apartment - pasted wallpaper in the bedroom and on the ceiling foam squares. It is the simplest thing you can do with your hands.

Living room

The room was also without wallpaper, just white walls, with which crumbled lime. Just pokleit wallpaper, but the ceiling ordered tensioning glossy.

Wooden floor in the living room and on top of fiberboard. Money on the floor repair was not and it was decided to immediately lay linoleum. As a result, the floor creaks so far. It was necessary to remove the fiberboard sheets and even self-tapping screws to fix the board, so as not to creak. The cause of creaking in most cases is that the wood rassyhaetsya and get out the old nails.

Khrushchev in the kitchen

On the walls of the kitchen was oilcloth. So often did in Soviet times. I had to remove it and it is good that it is easy to succumb. For oilcloth was paint. We took a chance and stuck to it non-woven wallpaper without primer. It's been 3 years and never peeled off wallpaper.

On the floor, too, lay linoleum directly on the old surface.

Ceiling - Tiles of foam with a glossy lamination. It is easy to wash. But it is still like new for 3 years. Nowhere did not become unglued and clean, without soot.

Bath and toilet, we did not dare to do themselves. We save money and ordered repairs for the same company. Repair of bathroom and toilet cost 140 000 rubles (materials and labor).

hallway

The entrance hall is still standing without repair. Here the old wallpaper peeled off in some places. Hangs an old radio. The ceiling is painted with oil paint.

In the hall the old mezzanine. Very handy thing. Husband keeps his tools there.

Over time, too, we dismantle, but make a new laminated chipboard. You can simply update your old door mezzanine. Make decoupage or use leather, leatherette with foam:
