The history of our apartment began in 2014, when, returning from vacation, we decided to take a mortgage, quite spontaneously. No, of course, like all the pairs without your own housing, we planned to buy it, but somehow not too actively. And we must say matured very much during, as soon after we receive a mortgage and purchase of an apartment, the percentage has grown significantly, as well as the number of failures from the bank, but now it is not about that.
Apartment Two-room dvroshka, layout is not the most successful, but we are trying to squeeze the maximum benefit and amenities from our square meters)))
Planning
When we just bought an apartment, I was the desire to landslide my home, I looked through a bunch of repair sites and design, the materials, furniture and a bunch of everything, the husband also showed interest to this, but not so actively)) But since we were given the keys to the apartment Only in April 2016, when I was on the seventh month of pregnancy, and we were already well overwreed so much, and thoughts were now about a friend, everything went out as it was originally planned. It was the pregnancy that introduced substantial adjustments to our plans, especially financial adjustments))) The apartment has led to the finish, how to drive, from the cheapest and low-quality materials)) But as they say, "you can live" or "at first go"))). So we decided to buy temporary furniture and make repairs gradually, already living in this apartment, in order to stop paying for the removable. Idea, honestly, so myself))) Make repairs in an apartment with an infant child is very difficult, so it is currently ready only a kitchen, and then far from 100%. I do not like to show the lowest, but since the end and edges are not visible to our repair, and the delivel tips would be by the way, and so let's start ...
The kitchen is the only thing we decided to do immediately, without temporary options. Such we saw our kitchen for the first time.
All that we have at the moment is done by the hands of a husband, in a slight exception, this is installing the door and painting of the lining. My husband's hands are even, and even, I will not beat this word, there are golden places)), however, the ability to deal with repairs was minimal. And here is the husband himself at the site of the fighting))
From the initially conceived, only the floor remained unchanged, everything else was changed in the repair process. On the floor of the tile of Kerama Marazzi, the layout was conceived by exactly such a diagonal. Yes, yes, we know that most often the white tile is laid smoothly, but I didn't like it, besides, we have a M-shaped corridor and a kitchen are posted in a single web, it can be used only with diagonal laying. Grout light gray.
On the apron, more precisely on the two walls, Spanish porcelain stoneware Monopole, bricks of three colors, grouting specially selected not contrasting, under cement, it was not possible to find a suitable, interfered with two colors themselves.
On the wall in the dining area, the lining of larch, painted by paint National Paints (NP), thanks to Zhakonya for the tip.
The kitchen headset IKEA, though from gray, was originally planned the Budbin, he became black, but I like it. Speaking thus, it is these facades to anyone who will not advise anyone, as it takes a solid torment for them, the prints remain even from clean, dry fingers. But all this applies only to the facades of Tinsgrid, and not to the black facades in general, I love them hotly, I have nothing hot, and I also don't have anything, just a little rid)) I like the camera, which gives dark furniture in the kitchen, comfort cafe or even pub Although certainly in the photo black facades are always losing white. The top cabinets are not in fashion now, and even more than meter, in the soul not everyone)), "Coffins" as they like to call them, but for me it was a mandatory demand for the kitchen. Since the apartment we have a small, explicitly lack of storage sites, these cabinets are our corrosive. I think the handles rushed to many in the eyes, more precisely their location)). I insisted on the same handles for the upper and lower cabinets, and the husband categorically abandoned their horizontal location. We argued to hoarseness))), but in the end I lost. The first time the arrangement of the handles was very informed, purely aesthetically, to use them conveniently, now I'm not paying attention to completely. The shape of the handles, and indeed the minimum of sharp corners in the kitchen is another adjustment under the new family member. Also, we have envisaged children's locks, locks throughout the technique, it's great easier for us now. In general, a human thank you to people who have come up with))
The tabletop is also IKEA, with a tabletop we got excited by buying the most expensive, from oak veneer, this is the most unsuccessful purchase for the kitchen. She is impractical, I'm just doing that I wipe the spray from the water. But the main minus is not in this, after processing scratches of fine-grained emery and oil treatment of IKEA, light spots appeared. And then in the veneer went crack. IKEA was denied for warranty, although the departure was strictly according to the instructions from their site, moreover, they stated that we were pouring
Tabletop with an aggressive detergent, while seen only a photo. Disappointment in Ikea does not know borders.
Here is your advice. Dear hardware, how to block these stains? Grinding machine already bought, I hope you can fix this horror. There are many oils, but a similar color, under the oak, can not be found.
Doors practice, veneer ash. Plinth MDF 80mm.
A few words about the technique. Oven, microwave and dishwasher Siemens, Bosch refrigerator, It would seem the easiest refrigerator, but the volume slightly more than other refrigerators of the same size. Trifle, but nice.
With a microwave, a whole story, planned to embed a microwave from IKE, did not bought immediately, and it came out of the range, it turned out that there is nothing under such a size, 1-2 models with strange, little-known names. As a result, after a long search, the husband found our beauty, the right size, though it is more precious than a few times than an option from IKEA))), but here it was already necessary to grab, despite the price. In general, the usual microwave, except does not rotate the plate inside.
Hood and induction from IKEA. Washing and mixer too IKEA. Dispenser for washing dishes Zorg.
Table and chairs from the array of gevent, a table with rounded corners, very convenient. I hope to replace the chairs when the child goes to the "conscious dishonor" phase, although there is still a cat ... So the soft chairs under a big question)) the curtains were hanged, as a temporary option, and in the end came. But if you suddenly meet "those the most curtains", and I imagine them very well, then, of course, these curtains will give up their place "ideal."
A little more about plans and shortcomings:
Installing additional outlets under the upper cabinets are necessary. (This is my "pregnant glitch," it seemed to me that the two outlets were enough on the apron, and I didn't want to spoil the brick)) on the fact the sockets are not enough, the free only one, you have to use sockets under the table). Well, and photos.
Only came the table and chairs
Installed the door, the husband lays the brick, the order of work is lame)))
