Repairing a small kitchen in the Khrushchev (what you should pay attention to the regeneration of the kitchen)

Since a long time, only women were living in our house, the kitchen is the only place in the apartment, where most do repairs. And though initially it was just a cosmetic change, but change the wallpaper and the ceiling on the five-meter space for two women this is a test. Plus, this is the usual Khrushchev, where not excluded leakage between floors, curved walls and a wooden floor. Therefore, our kitchen has undergone a number of changes in recent years:

- whitewashing the ceiling;

- then pasting the ceiling tiles;

- then their removal, plaster and subsequent painting. Moreover, the easy way, we were not looking for and trying to achieve the desired color using the color scheme. Accordingly, the number of layers of paint we paid to achieve the desired effect, I can not remember;

- the last thing that made it the suspended ceiling.

The most convenient and practical option - do not have anything to wash off and redo it.

And this is only the transformation of the ceiling, the number of times glue wallpaper I do not even try to count. Because consistently, every autumn we flooded the neighbors from the top and had to change everything. By the way, the leak remained still,

no plaster, putty and other solutions do not save the walls and dampness do not stand up.

Curve floor. This is also a separate issue,

because on the surface it looks beautiful. But the fragile female hands on the new tie could not draw, so the laminate flooring is laid on top of a single thin substrate. About the creaking of the old wooden floor is nothing to say - it is in the whole apartment and it has all become accustomed. But crooked set furniture and washing put out a lot more. In addition, any liquid spilled on the floor very quickly tends to the middle of the kitchen, which is why for the swelling of the laminate in this place always have to worry about.

Now, to what to look for when picking a new kitchen units.

1. Do not place the stove next to the fridge!

Firstly, it is harmful to the freezing of "friend", and secondly, fatty splashes on it much more visible than at the next desk or wall.

2. If the sink is installed against a wall,

then be sure to do the threshold between the edge of the sink and the wall. Otherwise, the water in this period will fall in large quantities.

3. open shelves.

In my opinion, this is the most successful our experiment. Shelves do not look bulky, they can put on any nice dishes and not at all less than in a closed cabinet.

4. Do not remove the door.

Any odors, the clatter of dishes and the other with no door could be heard throughout the apartment. And if such a plan seemingly played into our hands (although the builders much torment closing up the drywall corner), then by practicality - it is not convenient.

5. Another life hacking - if space allows, the dining table can be taken out in a separate dining area in the great room.

Then the whole family can get together, and in the kitchen, is where to turn.

The vacant place we booked the bar. So, I hope that with the new furniture, at the order which we have taken into account all these factors, our kitchen will look even better.
