Story Mary and Andrei from Minsk:
- Bought a one-room apartment in 2013, in an ordinary nine-story building of 1978 buildings. Repair has not been: on the walls - blue paint and yellow wallpapers, on the floor - linoleum in the square. We have a 2,7x1.5 m in size, 4.05 m2 area. Ceiling height - 2.5 m.
Since we spent all the money on the purchase of an apartment, the repair began to do gradually. The most interesting thing is that the renovation in the bathroom was last place in turn and the longest.
Everything did a husband with your own hands. I still wonder how all this he could do himself.
He began, naturally, with paint, which was very hard in the way. She left for her not one day.
Then we chose a tile. We decided that it would be in bright colors to expand the space. The tile bought Italian, 22 dollars per square meter.
Put a tile of her husband, his golden hands. But here he became a rib one question: we have the walls with roundings, and the husband came up with a shelf with a backlit made from the frame and drywall. The electrician bred husband himself, on this we saved a lot.
Chose between the bathroom and the shower, stopped unequivocally in the cab. It cost 600 dollars.
Husband made ventilation.
With the ceiling, too, did not think for a long time. They pulled the tension ceilings of milk color, in the color of the tile. Paid $ 150, including the built-in light bulbs (this is the only thing that the husband did not do).
Bug for household accessories made manually again spouse.
The washing machine was already, she swept perfectly into a new bathroom. Above it installed a countertop and sink chosen in "Ceramic".
Glass for shelves ordered in the store for our size.
Above the mirror, the husband set an additional backlight.
The doors were ordered in Belwooddoors, classic white, installed themselves.
We have decently saved on repair, which cannot but rejoice.
Costs amounted to about 1,200 dollars.
Here we got a bathroom in which I spend a lot of time. It is very bright and cozy. As my brother told me: "You have the most beautiful bathroom in which I was."
