Our today's participants "Repair for a penny" bought "odnushku" in the spring of 2019. "To confess, this orange setting very much cut my eyes, to repair approximately a month after the move," writes Elena and shows that they and her husband managed to do for a relatively short period of time. And we remind you that the winner of each tour receives a thousand rubles from our sponsor - the shopping center "Leningrad". You can also take part and send your stories to [email protected].
We, like a young family, faced with repair for the first time. They say before marrying, it is worth walking the wallpaper together, so I was interested to see what it would be. Looking ahead, I will say that everything was fine and we have shown these wallpaper who is the owner in the house.
Enthusiasm We had above the roof. We understood and took that almost everyone would do themselves. Engaged in repair every day after work and, of course, on weekends. Maybe to some extent it is tiring, but I want to finish as soon as possible, so thanks to the charging and, probably, you all went to myself.
Let's start with the residential room.
Down with these cream-beige remnants of Soviet times. Wallpaper from the walls were very easy. But from the ceiling - with great difficulty, and little that they helped them: neither special solutions for removal, nor plead about mercy. It took the whole day and evening.
The next day, an electrician was invited. Sockets wanted more, and we ourselves could not make this work. Then in the usual white painted the ceiling. You bought one roll of wallpaper under painting for one wall and three rands of dark gray for the rest. Booted and painted without problems, stuck all the plinths.
The living more or less led in order, moved to the corridor.
Then it is time to change interior doors. It did not do themselves. Installation services were ordered in the same place where the doors. As a result, I repainted a standard wardrobe, added an inscription, several of our photos to please the eye. Green acrylic paint painted the wall in Rhombick and finally repainted the old coffee table.
Along the way, we decided to collect two open racks. They collected everything from scratch, themselves. All purchased in the "mainland". I ordered a breakdown of LDSP in size, there they also bought aluminum corners and gold paint in the canopy.
We started the bathroom. It is extremely small with us, so it was decided to move the washing machine into the kitchen.
Ottube and Pinterest, found a bunch of options from repainting tiles. Since the tile itself is in good condition, then it did not make sense. They bought a good primer and paint, resistant to moisture (I will say in advance - it has passed almost a year, nothing cracked and did not get out). Painting has passed quickly and not straight, managed for the evening. White paint residues also painted the pipe.
As for the filling of the bath, here it was also extremely cheap and angry. In the "mainland" found a wooden shelving similar to IKEA. Someone puts such racks to their garage, and he fits perfectly in the bathroom. We covered it with a verse under the oak, and to this day I can not rejoice.
Bought a washbasin-bowl. I thought for a long time, to install this bowl, so that everything would stand and did not fall, as the wall between the bathroom and the toilet is quite small and some serious hidden fastening would have shimped everything through. As a result, a wooden window sill, a rather massive and wide for such loads, found in Oma. They decided to roll it into metal corners: they are still not visible, and they are 100% fulfilled their task. He also passed the staging of the coatings of the mourn for oak, and we also bought a special yacht varnish to protect against water. By the way, in Omar, they found a small wood, which became our shelf under the mirror. The mirror was found in the "mainland" (one of the cheapest).
Further kitchen.
The kitchen, of course, was not easy and squeezed out of us all the juices. Since my husband and I have been very high, looking for options where the kitchen would be higher than usual - about 100-110 centimeters high. But, alas, these pink dreams crashed on the harsh cuisine price tags to order. And since the repair was under the slogan "cheap and angry", resigned with the standards of low people and went to search for modular kitchens.
Then they began to ride the wallpaper. Not a Sovar, if I say: it was one of the most difficult practices for all repairs. I really don't know what it was for the devilish pieces of paper, but they did not want to move away from the wall under any circumstances. We have failed so much fluid for removing the wallpaper, just water and in the end of our nerves ... But even after that we pulled out only one wall. Webly and decide that we obviously do something wrong, they got into the Internet for help, learned that there is a roller with spikes, which is able to save us from the suffering of useless work, rushed behind him in "Mainland". After that, everything went where fun.
The next day kicked ordinary white wallpaper. Next you needed to put a tile for apron. This we did not risk doing themselves, I wanted everything to be neat and smooth, so we hired the masters.
Also painted batteries and pipes into a black matte color, and a little later - window frames and window sill. On the wall we hung two large shelves on wooden corners. The idea of such an open kitchen was very attracted. Evaluating his kitchen utensils, we decided that we simply do not need so much place for storage. So from the cabinets refused to use open space. It was also with a stove: appreciating our experience, we decided that we simply don't need more than two burners. Outdoor is also not: they use a multicooker to baked - and no problems.
The kitchen was brought in a month, we did not pay for the assembly, everyone was collected.
Since the washing machine moved to the kitchen, it was necessary to arrange a plumbing for her, they also did themselves.
