Bathroom renovation dreams, but to "not beat too expensive"

Its repair in the bathroom to share with us our reader.

So, we decided to make repairs in just bought an apartment and did not know where to start.

The first step was to get rid of plaster and paint, wrought by the developer. Before us was the question: to pick up a hammer and choking dust, get rid of all unnecessary yourself or pay a professional. We chose the first option.

Work began! For three days, we make every effort, we cleared the wall to the concrete slabs.

The first and most important step - applying plaster. There has not been without a professional. For small bathroom 5 square meters took 30 sacks of dry building material mixture 20 kg for aligning walls.

For the next phase of repairs needed complete drying mortar. And until the mixture dried up faced a most important work - the choice of sanitary ware and tiles.

In my head there was a picture right away, what should be the very bathroom dreams. The combination of concrete and wood exactly was present in our new bathroom. But here's where to buy tile is one that many a picture in Google - remained an unsolved mystery.

Having traveled a lot of shops, we found something that will appeal to all members of our family, though this tile bit did not match the original plan. As a "concrete" chose gray granite, but as a "tree" - a tile with wood structure.

plumbing purchase was much more difficult. I wanted to be beautiful and not to "beat on the pocket." The search lasted for two weeks. It was completed a variety of shops and a large number of sites studied. One day, we went to the "Window to Europe" and saw the shell and pencil in gray with a good discount. It was immediately decided to buy it them, although they are not very much, but I want to add that in the interior they are well blended.

From the bathroom there was no problem, I knew that it would be acrylic and only 170h70 size suited us. By purchasing the cheapest option, we began to look for a bathroom faucet, rather we needed a shower system, because my husband loves to bathe in the shower. Fortunately for us, in Voronezh is not much of shower systems designed more and bathroom, or to be more precise, we have to choose between two options. After listening to a few specialists, consultants from the shops and the advice of friends, we chose a less expensive. From the same collection of selected tap for the sink.

Mirror selection. Choosing a sink and a container for the bathroom, I noticed that the mirrors that are included are unreasonably expensive. Reaching to a specialty store, we ordered a mirror of the shell size. By the way, it cost twice less expensive than the one that went in the kit.

So, all bought, comes a plumber. Plumbing work took two working days. He changed the pipes from the developer on plastic and concluded under the faucet, the sink, the bathroom and the shower system.

Laying tiles is not long in coming. Tiler went to work the day after, as we called him. Coming to the workplace, he announced to us the bad news.

The fact is that as the main wall tiles we bought granite, and laying it costs twice more expensive than ordinary tiles. But everything has been purchased, delivered, and the change is nothing to be desired. The work was carried out within five working days.

Plumbing installation and repair completion. At first, my husband wanted to own all set, but the lack of experience caused me concern, so it was decided to re-call the plumber. For his work, he mastered in one day, or to be more precise, in half a day.

Enjoyment is not long in coming. Each time, take a bath or shower, I admire every detail, and I think that we are in every step of his made the right decision.
