I will never ever live in the Khrushchev apartment (start repair)

I will never ever live in the Khrushchev apartment. These close Khrushchev closet if not intended for people. The same number of square meters looks completely different depending on the layout. And the layout of the Khrushchev type creates the impression that you do not live here, and - wait for other times, sleep in between work hours.

Cheap bought one-bedroom apartment gave the impression that once the grandmother who lived here back to any time and will bring back all the countries of the Soviet decoration, as if intended to create comfort. Small plastic hangers in the form of kittens with bulging eyes, boards on which figures are burned blond Slavs and broken dozens of hours, leaving a hundred strong killer nails to each wall.

After whitewash ceilings and attempts to repaint the window, it became clear that the Soviet idea of ​​comfort for me alien. Strong oak door drive in nostalgia, cheerful stenciled flowers, once fashionable, puzzling. And the window... I got rid of the windows in the first place. It became easier.

Window triple-staged. Usually people save on cameras. While choosing an apartment, I noticed that even in the renovated apartments for themselves, people often put the simple single-chamber windows. Camera more smaller camera - do not live in Siberia, right? But warm and easier to live without noise. As for me, the difference between one and two cameras, is palpable.

Refrigerator under the windows was a little easier to landscape than to close up. I said, "no orders for such refrigerators transparent glass!" But I decided that huge white blyamba middle of the kitchen, which will then be sorry for me, I also do not need. Simply put there beautiful jar, let it shine.

Shelves made otkosnik from firm to install windows. His firm does not provide such services, so he worked on himself and regretted sealant. I told him that if he told me the hole in between the sandwich panels are not sealed, then I no longer sleep at night will not, I will only think about these holes. He was surprised to find no more objections and did everything as it should.

In any case, for safety reasons, replace the wiring. After that, without flattening the walls it was no longer enough. A line the walls - a troublesome activity, and, if you do everything perfectly, beacons, plaster leaves nemeryannom. The already small Khrushchev becomes even less inside.

Simple alignment of several layers of plaster in my case was enough. The apartment is quickly stopped to smell my grandmother and became noticeably more pleasant to stay even until the end of the work. Goodbye, stencil flowers.

Since the design of the apartments I do not know how I settled on a win-win. Just I picked up the wallpaper for painting and began to paint mostly white. The eyes are throwing will not expand the space, creating the impression of a decent, if necessary, and any ideas - just repainted.

Khrushchev was the "grandmother" - became mine.

Here are just working on it and work... more
