Our final repair can hardly be called traditional

Our last repair is hardly traditional, but it has become our family uniting and left many good memories that we share so far.

How it all began

After the decision to make repairs in front of us stood the obvious question: who? My husband and I thought that something would have to do yourself, but to so ...

It began with the fact that the furniture makers have refused to take the order for the built-in cupboards, who wanted to close the gap in the niche with a refrigerator. The refusal was the acquisition of an electric jigsaw and regular trips to the firm with furniture materials and accessories. Locker made yourself, and then another, themselves moved furniture in the hallway, and organized a full pantry, and then from the remains I did kitchen shelf. And off we have driven ...

What we want

Of course, the main issue was the money in our repairs. We wanted to make everything beautiful, but that is inexpensive, and to quickly, and without leaving the apartment. Option remained the same: all interesting to do for themselves.

we are the masters left the most boring:

dismantling balcony unit and balcony insulation;

changing windows, the installation of slopes and sills;

alignment of the walls and floor screed;

installation of drywall partitions for children;

leveling uneven plasterboard ceilings;

putty and gluing wallpaper on the walls and ceilings;

laying tiles in the hallway.

Well construction and other stuff ...

And now we are

Our repair gave great knowledge that we can agree with each other about the pattern on the wallpaper, texture and type of laminate tiles. All joint acquisition quickly rushed to beak your favorite apartment and quickly installed in place of permanent deployment. Our family team rallied during the great things:

• laminate flooring in the hall, the library and the children's rooms were stacked in collaboration with his son;
• sticker bamboo panels in the corridor was the quest for the entire family: four cans of glue "Dragon" and eight hands for the gentle but strong against the wall;

• for installing folding doors in the cabinets was issued a special friend who once somewhere something is done;
• ceiling and floor baseboards and moldings bamboo - only herself with a magic device called miter box;
• slim fit aluminum corner to trim a corner balcony opening uncle was retaliation from the market, who said nothing.

Our know-how

Of course, we would like to change the old apartment, so that and the situation was completely new, and some of your favorite things fit into the interior. This and be guided in our delights.

The balcony area two closets with folding glass doors with sandblasted patterns were organized. And these magical door is design for storage of everything, sculpted from the Romanian patent "roller coaster" (guess who did it?).

Uneven ceiling in the hall, consisting of long, narrow panels, decided to partially hide. To come up with two niches, where, as a family, went to our lamps, bulbs.

In the hallway decided tale picture-puzzle "old map", which I slipped into a frame made of bamboo (remember how it wanted to do: happily dragged the three-meter bambuchinu, sawed, pulled the hemp). From the picture reached the idea of ​​the theme of travel. Therefore, when they saw the wallpaper with ancient maps, we decided that it's ours. A tile in the form of wooden planks laid "Herringbone", still call the deck.

For the design of children chose this option: the wallpaper for both rooms were taken of the same figure, the daughter - yellow and green, and his son - white and gray. Identical chandeliers and moldings are also different colors of metal. And curtains, curtains and one picture, but different colors. Therefore, the room got close in design but different in the energy sector.

He taught us repair

Well, while writing, relive exciting moments. Favorite repairs made me realize that everything that now seems absurd and provocative, tomorrow becomes obvious and relatives. The epitome of my husband's delusions we happily still use today. The main thing - it forced me to believe myself that a lot we can do. At the very least, make furniture or lay laminate. And it is even more interesting.
