I want to share with you the history of their maintenance in their first apartment. It all began with the fact that on 30 December my husband and I took a chance to buy a studio apartment in a new building without repair completely empty... Very much like in a new beautiful house to live! We have gained, we can say, just four black walls of 40 square meters, the only thing that has been zoned by the developer - a bathroom.

Oh yes, on the whole apartment one socket and one switch was made. Such a small start-up that was to begin. This studio apartment was considered odnushke according to plan, but we made it into a cozy small-sized kopeck piece, because we have two small children.


To repair has become a joy, my husband bought a basic tool that should be in any real man:
- punch (we have the Bosch, reliable, sustained repair and serves us now);
- LBM or Bulgarian (we bought Intersolovskuyu, not expensive and reliable, did not fail);
- jigsaw (instead of a handsaw and to save time);
- screwdriver (also the Bosch, need, and can certainly punch with a nozzle, but not very convenient).

We compiled a plan of initial action and started repairing. The first thing we did - it changed the front door. Because the door, which was staged by the developer, it is not looked like a door - opened with polpinka.

Just put a temporary sink and toilet.


Long that will look like walls, not thought. Flat square and we just divided it into four almost equal parts. Having read reviews on the Internet, for partitions selected aerated concrete blocks "Varma". They had to do for a long time as her husband combined work and repairs, but not how much we do not regret that chose them. The apartment is between the rooms is very good sound insulation: from the kitchen to the room and vice-versa dokrichatsya, it is very dull!


When the walls were ready and looked like a studio apartment, it's time to carry out the electrics. To make grooves in the walls for wiring have to hire in the construction hypermarket tool with an interesting name wall chaser. I raschertila place for future outlets, and her husband embarked on his plan. Vacuum cleaner for collecting dust from a friend took an electrician, by the way, it is then advised to do all the preparatory work for themselves, not to pay too much.

Proshtrobili grooves and paved all the wires. A connection to the network is still called his friend electrician. For reliability.
The next stage of the most tedious and messy. This alignment of the plaster walls.

If you want smooth walls, it is best to refer this matter to professionals. Since when do himself and especially without experience and skills, it seems that all the pretty smoothly, but when it came time to do the ceilings, here that and got out flaws.
In parallel with the plastering of the walls, the husband began to repair bathroom. In the bathroom, it was necessary to do the following:
1. Sew sewage risers plasterboard.
2. Ceramic tile floors and walls.
3. Get pipes for water and sewage.
4. Set the bath, sink, toilet and faucets.



On the floor tiles laid husband himself, but the paste over the wall ceramic tiles, for me, it was a pleasure! The result I could not get enough! Tubes are easily installed without any problems. Apparatus for welding of plastic pipes took a friend's plumbing for free.
We took a bath ceramic, light as a basin. At first we could not believe that it will not crack under our weight.

But it turned out that the advantages in it a lot as compared to cast iron:
+ Easy to install
+ Easy to clean using conventional soap or dishwashing
+ warm
+ Beautiful and classy look.


While her husband completed the plastering work, I plastered with tiles from floor to ceiling in the kitchen work area. And rightly so. Tiles are easy to clean and maintain kitchen wall clean. No yellowing stains and splashes, all easily removed.


After completing all the dirty work, we went to buy flooring. Without hesitation, the linoleum was chosen uniquely. Since it is easy to clean, glasses on it do not break into small pieces, does not swell, if children will shed water, and neighbors will suffer less from our steps to the apartment. At a cost of chose in the mid-market. And here in the corridor at the entrance have decided to put the tiles in place rug for shoes. Looks great and shoes all alone in this area.
With ceilings decided to not bother and do not waste your valuable time, ordered the installation of suspended ceilings throughout the apartment in a specialized firm.

All done quickly, and we did not have time to blink. At the same time ordered the kitchen, but without the assembly. Her husband manifested a desire to assemble their own kitchen.
I remained my most favorite moment - it pasting wallpaper walls. I do not trust the job or anyone and do everything myself.
Since the apartment is small, there was a problem to expand the space in front of me, wherever this is possible. In our room with my husband (10 sq.m.) there is no window, but this has its advantages: the morning is not a bright light shining in his eyes) pokleit Mural overlooking the sea and the possibility of look into the distance, to visually expand the space and between corridor and room for air circulation we did the windows, which I plastered with plaster under plitochki a rock.


The kitchen in recreation and meals, too, decided to visually expand the space using a photo wallpaper with the image balconies and sea views.


In the corridor to expand the use of space bright colors for wallpaper and front door we had a large mirror. Therefore, visually corridor becomes longer doubled. While I was glued wallpaper husband found the bathroom door.


Children are small, but the two of them and they are heterosexual. Therefore, their small room (10 square meters) I've done in pink and blue tones.


At this stage of our repair ended and we really wanted to move on quickly to our new home. Interior doors to the kitchen and the nursery, we have established in the new year))
