Repair: What was the result (we have a long-awaited new studio apartment, 40 m2)

Today I want to tell you about the incarnation of his many years of dreams. Of course, I did not dream about the repair, God forbid! Dreams were of a separate apartment, which will be implemented all my desires. Therefore, the story is more about what happened in the end.

So, what is the background information? We have the long-awaited new studio apartment, 40 m2. Kitchen 8 m2, a room of about 16 m2. What pleased me the developer? Cardboard front door, a simple switch and socket, wooden window frames, through which the apartment blew snow. It was very funny to find the right apartment on the windowsill small drifts.

A completely forgotten. There was also a fire hydrant on the wall. That's all. The apartment has a plan "vest". It chooses a location specifically. That's like me so.

In general, for my money, I received the usual gray walls. However, I think, like most people who buy apartments in new buildings. But a field of action, gentlemen!

What was planned to be done? As I mentioned above - the repair of my dreams. Shoveled a ton of magazines, the Internet - resources, reviewed hundreds of photos brought to mind sellers in the shops, I went on a visit to all the friends and friends of friends, who had fresh in apartments repairs. I think that for my obsession that some people eventually began to hate me quietly.

Repairs made construction team. Materials bought herself. Term of realization of a dream - two and a half months. What was the most difficult for me? This will determine the final design. I wanted to bring everything at once in the same room. I had frowned on the throat with all your Wishlist and get what happened.

The first thing changed the windows and doors. Radiators, By the way, turned out to be quite fit. Did not change, only the embedded cranes to be able to cut off the water, if that. Oh, and colored acrylic enamel. Then, as usual, started the dirtiest work, which I did not intervene. Leveled curves walls on beacons. It took a lot of plaster, primer, putty. Also changed all the wiring. Made a lot of sockets, switches. Always, always I do not have enough outlets. All my life I suffered. But now it is no problem. But do not think that I am like a typical blonde stuffed them wherever you can and can not. Without any system. And here and there! I am, after all, have education in construction, so make sure you come up with that where and how I will have to stand, lie down, hang, and then began work on the realization of my dreams. And I tell you straight - now, a year after the end of the repair, each socket has a function. I have enough outlets for the first time. Now specifically stroll around the premises.

Let's start with the entrance hall. Elongated rather narrow hallway. I really wanted to make one of the vertical surfaces in stone. That's how it was and that's what happened.

Stone bought at OBI. It called the "Borough", the color of vanilla. It took 29 boxes of 0.5 m2 each. Bat tiles were extremely small, and therefore enough, not buy more personal. Its top covered with a protective varnish, for the tiles a little dirty hands. The result was a light sheen. But since the appearance is now even more noble.

The second wall is papered, as it is assumed that there will be a wall cupboard and as such, will not be seen. In addition, do not like the extra doors, so in the hallway and in the kitchen instead of doors in my arch made of plasterboard. One could, of course, buy ready-made, but my master did everything themselves.

The floors in the hallway - it is granite. Very much like the gray floors. Therefore, I choose only gray granite. Porcelain tiles company KERAMA MARAZZI, collection Bosco. It is the lightest of the tile collection. Thickness 10 mm. On the hall and kitchen it took about 16 m 2 tiles. And then and laminate flooring in the room I tried to pick up the tone. Color Oak Aspen, class - - laminate Klassen Sottage 42839 was purchased 33, a thickness of 8 mm. It took about 16.5 m2. I like a uniform style throughout the apartment, without any zoning. The same floor in the kitchen. On this floor you can not see the dust! This does not mean, of course, that you can not wash the floor for weeks, but it is all sorts of small particles, which are highly irritating to normal, no longer apparent.

Tension ceilings throughout the apartment and all the spotlights. Chandelier hangs only in the kitchen of the desktop. Afraid that points planned enough. But no, the world has turned a lot. That can not but rejoice.

Kitchen. Here I was conceived corner from the series "Little Italy." Mural ordered online store in the wall. The result is such a story. Wall area of ​​7 m2. Now there stands and furniture made of artificial rattan, everything to be harmonious.

Apron made from plain white tiles "Monocolor". Enough 2.5 m2. But I have this monotony diluted inserts "Arabica".

Now the kitchen has already appeared furniture juicy orange. Gradually settles.

The walls in the kitchen and a small hallway that connects the kitchen and the room painted decorative paint. I wanted to first make the so-called sand decorative plaster, with a slight roughness. Then decided to take care of a smooth surface is easier, and the price was cheaper paint plaster. Therefore it was coated "wet silk". This coating resembling the surface of the tissue, the composition has a pearlescent particles, which mimic the overflow overflows flowing silk.

Bathroom. Bathroom in my apartment is combined, which I am very pleased. Much larger than in separate planning, there is a place for the washing machine. all pipes sewn into the box from the drywall. I realize that if a leak, all scratched, be healthy! But in the bathroom initially appeared such a tangle and tangle of pipes that do not close them was simply impossible. In addition, I had to change, and heated towel rail. It was terrible. Tiles for walls and floors, I did not choose, I knew exactly what I want black and white bathroom. On bathroom tiles it took 12 m2 to 5 m2 wall and the floor. And plus grout colors graphite and white one pack purchased. Tiles from the collection of "Camellia". Tile production in Russia, Shakhty. Hanging toilet installed with the installation of the company GROHE and lifter. I originally planned to do all the furniture and fixtures in the bathroom pendant. I'm lazy. And so it is easier to clean floors. Bath necessarily like iron. Approached bath "Grace" on the length of the wall, just 170 cm. Novokuznetsk. But then a little surprise for me. Accustomed to the bathtub 150 cm long, in this, I just lost the shore. Though heats commit. And the depth was too great for me. And one of my school - a bath screens. First I wanted to buy ready-made screen doors. In order to have continuous access to the pipes. who knows what. But perfectionism took her and I do not even want to step away from the overall style of design bathrooms. So my screen - it's drywall, tiled. But the screen is still removable, and access to the pipes available. For access to the valves and water meters generally box toilet, installed revision magnetic hatch.

The most important thing for me - the room. Here I conceived to perform zoning. To do this, we have built a partition of the drywall to the ceiling with stained glass. Stained glass film. The area turned vitrage 2.5 m2. It looks elegant, especially on a sunny day.

Zoning is provided for in the area around the window put a bed. And in the second zone to arrange something like a living room - with TV and a small sofa. The last time I came up with a built-in corner cabinet. I hesitated for a long time, because then demolish this structure is much more complicated than just change the furniture. But, nevertheless, I decided to - build in wardrobe. It turned out great. Wardrobe roomy (ploschal about 2.0 m2), in my opinion well blended into the interior. The room pokleit wallpaper, because money is rapidly pumped, and had to give up a decorative plaster, which was originally planned.

Pasted wallpaper glue Mitelan Fleece Express Premium. At room had the two packs.

In the dressing room I installed a motion sensor and two spotlights.

On the financial side of repair. Materials cost me a total of about 300 thousand rubles. Of these, about 100 thousand is rough materials. Here is the price of certain materials. Let me remind you, was renovated in early 2017.

So:

- laminate 24 thousand. rub.

-keramogranit 18 thousand.

- decorative plaster 18 thousand. rub.

- facing stone in the entrance hall of 12 thousand. thousand.

- installing the toilet bowl with 6 + 11 thousand. rub.

- cast-iron bath 11 thousand. rub.

- tiles in the kitchen 4 thousand. rub.

- tiles in the bathroom 37 thousand. rub.

- stained 17 thousand. rub.

Now the question is - whether I have got plans? Almost got it. At the same time I read about other people's rake, which people come during repair itself in some places also placed rake. Do I like the result? Yes very. But how many people, so many opinions. So I know that embodies many questionable decisions. And not a designer, I, of course. So my project is not meant to magazine covers. But I'm happy, I'm comfortable, comfortable and want to come back home. I think that the most important thing. And because I live alone, it embodied all by herself, and swear in the selection of materials and finishes of styles was not with anyone. Therefore, I have good mood and kept in the process of repair. Well, not a miracle it?
