When a relatively modest budget would be desirable to design repair, what to do in this case?

Having some experience in the construction, it was decided - will participate in all processes of repairing itself, from planning and ending with the choice of colors for the walls with the help of professionals at different stages.

replanning

In the model homes of the Soviet period, as a rule, hallway - the dark zone, poorly accessible to natural light. I decided to remove the partition between the bedroom and the hallway. Thereby increasing the space where it was possible to arrange the living room. In the second room is a bedroom with a balcony. Attach the loggia to the common space was a good decision. It is possible to organize a workshop.

Bathroom with toilet and pantry suited me just fine. But in a small kitchen is not placed refrigerator. After much thought, I decided to build a barrier in the hallway leading to the kitchen. Thus, the recess has turned to the refrigerator. A cut through the entrance from the living room. And another part of the overall corridor could be added, turned the vestibule, where you can take off our shoes and take off garments. Now you can begin to design.

Project development

At this point I made the measurements of the room, I have developed several plans:

redevelopment

furniture placement

lighting

heating

Accordingly, the specification was:

necessary materials

Furniture manufacturing on the individual sizes

Civil works

Once dismantled interior doors, brought heavy and dimensional materials (drywall sheets, guides, loose in bags, paint buckets, boxes of tiles).

We put the front door and plastic windows. At the same time he engaged in electrical wiring, plumbing pipes and changed the batteries, set individually heating boiler, changed the toilet, sink, faucets in the bathroom, I rushila partitions using hammer and punch.

Fortunately screed and flooring except the kitchen were in perfect condition, they do not have to change.

Insulate the walls, floor, ceiling loggia, erecting an arch to the site of the old balcony unit of plasterboard, I I proceed to the next dirty work - the alignment of walls and ceilings putty, masonry walls of foam blocks. Stoned wall with an arch in the bedroom and in the vestibule decorated tiles under the stone, but on one of the walls from floor to ceiling mirror pasted to visually expand the space. The walls in the kitchen oblitsevat ceramic tiles. Laid granite tiles on the floor in the kitchen, vestibule, pantry. Bed laminate flooring on the balcony. In the bathroom and kitchen ceiling fastened aluminum profiles, these mirrors and glass.

Installed interior doors, and it was possible to start decorating.

decoration

After painting the walls and ceiling, I embarked on the most interesting stage of repair. In the closet brought old bookcases with mezzanines. In the living room the Soviet wall, I decided to leave, replacing it facades. Of the old cabinets, fronts of my master walls built in wardrobe in the hall of the former, which is used for storage for clothing, footwear, luggage and household details: iron, vacuum cleaner, ironing board, folding chairs. Installed kitchen, made to order on the individual sizes.

Bedroom, I would like in a Scandinavian style - light colors without bright accents, with natural materials. Really wanted a fireplace, but limited falshkaminom plasterboard with salt lamps, covered with the battery.

The basis for the section under electrical sewing machine frame has served the old grandmother machine, and instead used the countertop front glass of the wall.

In the living room he hung a picture of the collection, to lay a carpet with a little vintage pattern, hung right to it chandelier.

In this six-month overhaul has been completed. As a result, I got an apartment, where design is a reflection of my character, and where any "non-working" centimeter. All counted, thought out and justified.
