Repair of balconies (about how I create comfort on the balcony of his apartment)

In this article, we will focus on how I create comfort on the balcony of his apartment. I have to say, I'm a fan of a lot of space and it is important to me to availability. I'm waiting for the day when on the balcony will be carried out any repair work, so I was ready for a long time a plan of action.
And so, that's the long-awaited moment arrived. It started the fuss, finding workers and materials.

How it all began

First, I had to fill in a sexual coupler to raise the height of the floor on one level with a kitchen. I do not know what the workers thought when building a house, but rather all about the economy. It so happened that was originally at the entrance to the balcony, I miraculously dropped by 30 cm below the level of the kitchen. It is terribly annoying, it was uncomfortable, and indeed, it was immediately clear that this should not happen. To resolve thirty centimeter Extension, it would take a lot of concrete, but I have advised a more economical option.

When I explained my problem workers, they laughed when they learned that I really wanted to buy as many materials for the tie. Since they are experienced professionals, it was advised to simply buy large sheets of construction foam and make the substrate. That's what I did - bought the substrate, and the workers poured on top of about 10 cm of concrete.

Interior

Walls

I always wanted a bright and spacious balcony to the summer place flowers there and drink organic coffee. I thought I had the perfect solution to perform a balcony in a white color, but all the walls in white did not suit me. I have long thought, consulted with people and hear different proposals. What really got me thinking, so it's liquid wallpaper pokleit. Later I learned that these wallpapers are the property of deformed, and in winter, they are clearly affected. Next, I was offered to complete the entire balcony of the panels, the choice of which is very wide, and I went to the store to look for.

I immediately knew what to do all the balcony panel, I will not, because it is an outdated version, but still I had an idea. I wanted the white balcony - and took three of the four colored wall paint. One wall I decided to make a special, say, sitting area.

When I went to the store with the panels, I really was shocked. My eyes ran hundreds of different options, structures, volumes and colors. After a few times around the stalls, I stopped on the panels, made under a brick. Approximately ten color options, I chose a more natural, because it perfectly fulfills the role of contrast against the background of white. Once the wall has been papered with these "bricks", I do not much upset, because I do not advise anyone to buy real brick finish. The panels are beautiful and of good quality, just a natural coating would be much more practical.

Dryer

Since I have a balcony, and I did not want a floor dryer, I think long did not have to. The ceiling is white? Excellent, buy white dryer for the whole length of the ceiling! Of course, I only considered lifting option because no one wanted to get lost in your own oven.

Floor

As a floor covering, I considered only the tile. Why? Because there regularly dried clothes, and I do not want to have my swollen laminate. Linoleum I rejected immediately because you will agree, this is a long time in the past and is no longer relevant. Regarding the colors do not have to think a long time since I originally knew a balcony - a continuation of the kitchen floor, and there must be the same.

decoration

I - a freelancer, so you always dreamed of a big, comfortable chair. I opened an online store and then found what she wanted. Originally thought to buy chairs in color panels, but something to reason with me on colorfulness, and I chose white. Frankly, very proud of myself, because that did not buy dark.

Well, as mentioned earlier, I originally wanted to place flowers there in the summer, which, in fact, did.
