I had to repair the kitchen: painting pipes, window frames and sill design of the ceiling tiles and walls
Repairs. Terrible word, causing heap thinking about waste, the complexities choice. I had to repair the kitchen with the following front works: painting pipes, window frames and sill design of the ceiling tiles and walls. What was the most difficult? Much.
A little background: I did a repair, and in the first time, so did not know anything about the materials, techniques, and so on.. The walls of the ceiling had already been leveled and covered with primer.
I start with a trip to the store. The first problem - the choice of wallpaper. Decided that the best fit for the kitchen Vinyl wallpaper. Took in two colors because has planned to make a wall, separated horizontally. The second difficulty - the selection of the right combination. Top I would like to make a light, and the bottom color, with a beautiful pattern. As a result, about an hour later, I found the perfect color.
To denote the boundaries between bought wallpaper decorative border in a suitable design and color. Here, everything was easy.
The choice of tiles, baseboards and corners was given simply. The only difficulty - a small selection of the store. From what it was, it took the best at an average price.
Additional purchase: wallpaper and ceiling glue, brush, spatula, roller, paint. With the choice of a consultant to help, so I got lost in the wide range of tools and materials provided.
Difficulties directly with the repair:
1. To glue the tiles. It is difficult to do it alone, as you have to constantly go down and climb back. With skirting everything it was even worse. They constantly came unstuck until I changed the glue. A transparent and inexpensive to paste very firmly.
2. Aligning wallpaper in drawing, sticking the butt. Even smoothing bubbles are not so exhausting. Minus - left a lot of scraps.
Everything else was given relatively easily. Pokleit wallpaper for 2 days, as well as tile. Skirting it takes an hour of my time.
What would I change? I would take the other tiles or glue, as through my translucent white spots. Council №1 - better to take a transparent glue or thick tiles. But in my case, the spot is not particularly noticeable.
In general, the repair has turned to a solid four, given the lack of care and experience.
Council №2 - to enlist the support and do repair work only on their own, as well as to find out on the Internet about the choice of materials and tools.
