Smolyanka received accommodation in the Moscow region and made a real fusion from it
Polina Kozlov lived all his life in the center of Smolensk and worked in a serious organization (as she herself calls her - "in the supervision"). One day, Smolyanka liked so much by the Moscow authorities that she was offered to transfer to the capital. In this case, it is necessary to give a housing worker. The bosses offered to choose an apartment in a new home or private house. Polina immediately chose the second: - She dreamed of living on earth all her life. He signed all the documents, without looking, and went to watch a new dwelling. They were half the house built in the 60s in the village of Lesnik, next to Barvikha. Despite the elite neighborhood and the house, and the plot was turned, to put it mildly, in the garbage. However, Polina did not despair and, not paying attention to the seventh month of pregnancy, began to repair. At first, the house was flooded with an antiseptic, scorched the walls, transported some kind of furniture from Smolensk, ducidated something in IKEA. When the family finally decided to settle in the suburbs, sold accommodation in Smolensk, bought the second half of the house and took it up with a restructuring and atmosphere seriously. A glazed veranda became a dining room, now there is a green corner sofa from the city of Kandalakshi Murmansk region. On the kitchen made of the window, the door is to enter the garden, in the summer there is always open a latch. By the way, these doors of Polina are long guard for a neighboring house - Dacha Brother Tchaikovsky, which the Great Composer mentioned in his letters. As a result, I found them in a ravine at home - a kind of local dump. From there, good woolen carpets.

"Now everyone laughs over carpets on the walls, and it seems to me that they are cozy and warmer with them," Polyna believes. - The house is still not an apartment, naked cold walls are not very pleasant here. Over the bed in the living room, we have a tapestry carpet from the 90s - Bryansk production. I really liked my friend, interior designer. We found a firm on the Internet and ordered their products already for its projects.

The bed in the living room is not a mistake. In the house of 6 premises, some adjacent - such peasant anfilad. And along the peasant traditions in almost every room - the dining room, the office, the living room - there are sleeping places. In their children even three - a sofa and a two-story bed. Relatives live in the house periodically: the eldest daughter, her husband, a little granddaughter and Mom Polina. Therefore, the names of the rooms are very conditional, and their functionality changes all the time. The main thing is that 90 meters everything is enough space and classes.
Usually updates in the house begin with the fact that nearby someone demolides or rebuilding housing. Then it is necessary to either bow for construction, or go in the morning to a familiar ravine. Allocate all - Fabric cuts, baskets, plates Villeroy & Boch. , English faience, paintings, books, furniture. From the "Overgraded" Textile Polina sewed a tablecloth. The headset in the kitchen is two German servants, repainted in white. The buffet in the dining room also changed the color and slightly renovated. How and what can be updated, Polina has suffered on personal experience, although they gave advice and familiar artists.
- Before carrying something to go home, it is better, of course, smooth the thing in place, "Polyna advises. - Almost rotten things in the apartment will not bring - the dirt will be too much trouble. In the house with this easier, if something does not fit, they folded on the bonfire site and burned all unnecessary. If there is no rear wall - it does not matter, you can always build it from cardboard, sheet of plywood, chipboard, and from anything. I am paint everything is usually specially furniture paint with gel structure, then no foundations are needed. Here, take a look - the table is 10 years ago painted, nothing has happened.

Round table is standing in the kitchen - the family life of the grandfather and grandmother began with him. It was the first thing they ordered to do in the workshop. How much he survived, you can not tell. Nevertheless, so far as new, only a few minor scratches. Furniture paint gives the effect of treated surface. In addition to Furniture Polina deftly restores Zhostovsky trays and decorate their doors at home. They usually find on the flea markets Male Polina. He leaves on the "hunt" early in the morning on weekends: it is so possible to have time to catch the best and cheapest things. Then the tray must be washed with warm water and a soft sponge so as not to damage the paint layers. And then neatly tinkering the places of acrylic varnish.
What else rushes into the house in the eye is an abundance of textiles and paintings. Curtains in some rooms play the role of doors. In the corridor behind huge striped curtains, the whole wardrobe of the family is hiding.
- You noticed that I do not have cabinets? - draws Polina's attention. - That's just in the living room two with glass doors, it is even more showcases. One I took in my department after writing off, I looked for a couple for a long time, finally bought similar via the Internet.

Also in the living room there is a whole wall, along with the library transported from Smolensk. But in general things from the hometown of Polina a little.
- Here is a ceramic mug from Smolensk, here are the jugs. In the USSR there was a good plant, now everything closed. Previously, Smolensk was famous for the textile center, they did a lot of things from flax, now this, unfortunately, no, although we just get the climate is best for growing flax and buckwheat. Here in the dining room hanging chandelier from the restaurant "Dnipro", we lived just opposite it in the very center of the city. Then my mother found her in the commission and bought for me.

Pictures on the walls are hanging in a variety of magazines, and drawings of Polina itself, and the younger daughter of Alina. There are several copies of "with the cost", as the mistress itself calls them: a smolensky dissident canvas, fabulous illustrations found, as well as the rest of the antiques, in Rublevskiye mutages. Special pride above the table in the office - four written tablet written. They depict the Rublevsky forest, from which one third remained today. Over time, Polina would like to transfer tablets to the museum.

In the plans from the family to equip the attic and give it completely daughter. It does not want to demolish the house, since it is built from cedar pine - the material is not cheap and unique. For example, cedar always keeps the temperature of 24 degrees, even if in summer on the street 35, the main thing is to close the windows. Therefore, there is no air conditioner in the house. All repair and decor of Polina and her husband make it their own hands.
- I myself painted the house outside, singer the curtains, tablecloths and pillows. I have a lot of work, you come tired, and you take a tassel, paint, painted two hours and it seems to be rest. Then we were somehow so accepted in the family, I have a pillow everywhere that my great-grandmothers embroidered. We are now, of course, do not use, keep in the showcase for beauty.

Anticipating reproaches, Polina emphasizes that he is looking for an environment for flea markets and construction workers, not at all because of a poorly material situation. Just all the expensive and pathos she does not like.
- I work all my life in serious institutions. Therefore, the execution style is tired of work. I do not like leather sofas, gilding, brown furniture and brown floors. In the kitchen, I have cherry floors, in the dressing room - yellow, throughout the house while green carpet, - arguing Polina. - At home, I want something bright and joyful. It is clear that a private house requires serious expenses. We twice spent the water, made the bathroom inside, changed the wiring, after the neighbors burned down, the gas boiler burst into minus 20, they wanted to make an extension - we were wrongly poured the foundation, now breaking everything, re-made. Therefore, in some sense, we have constant repairs. Perhaps our passion for ancient and restoration somehow asks him. I can not say that I have been a creative person, I have never studied at the artist or on a designer. But somehow I watched the Italian movie, and there the hero said: "I have a sense of style." Here, I think, you can also say about me.
