If you got an apartment on the top floor, do not hurry to get upset: it is possible that in this way you will get an additional area, as it succeeded in the famous singer Marina Khlebnikova. At first she bought a two-level apartment on the top floor - a pair of rooms, a ladder upstairs, another room with a naked window. But soon the neighboring apartment was bought, significantly larger area. And in the end, became the owner of spacious apartments. True, in order to bring their numerous square meters to the denominator of coziness and comfort, I had to withstand the test of repairs.
Be careful, it is freshly painted!
"Many people do not change the situation for years, I constantly deal with innovations," says Marina. "The passion for reworking me, probably passed from Mom - she always changed something, rearranged. Yes, and the father is constantly making something. He himself laid out parquet in the entire apartment. I also remember another episode from the repair epic. My mother and I painted the floors. There were only three paints: white, green and brown. And then, when in some places, the paint climbed, we covered the floor of brown paint, and so as not to "hang up", laid strategic places with pebbles that I brought from the Black Sea ...
Hey, you are there, upstairs:
But sometimes inconvenience arise due to repair ... neighbors. I think many have experienced times when the clock behind the wall is beaten with a hammer. In my life, too, there was such a case.
I then was a novice singer, I had to work a lot
evenings, fulfilling your songs for penny. Only in the middle of the night I returned to my little apartment in a typical five-story building. And at nine in the morning, builders began to work beyond the wall, and they included the perforator, and how much I tried to hide your head under the pillow, it did not save it from his sound. My whole room was filled with a terrifying roe, the walls were shaking and vibrated windows.
I lived for a whole week, as in war, something went out and beat into my wall. And one morning, plaster sprinkled on my bed with a ceiling, a snake of cracks ran along the wall, and after it, a piece of wall fell out with a crash. When dust dellets, I saw surprised and outstanding faces of a neighbor and a worker with a perforator in the hands. I stood in front of them in one pajama in the middle of the ruins coated with a layer of dust. I gained air into the lungs, but I did not have time to say. The neighbor was horrified by his hands with the words: "We will fix everything, everything will be fine."
There is such a transfer - the "apartment question": when the owners leave, and return to the room, where the designers were altered everything in accordance with their artistic intent. So I did it, I went to my friend, because my apartment consisted of one room, and it was completely destroyed due to a terrorist act. And when the door opened the door after three days, it was amazed - everything around the novelty shone: wallpaper, ceiling, floor and even freshly stained window. And now I love the sound of a perforator, which reminds that there are still miracles of repair.
Housing problem:
? I was equipped with my apartment, adhering to the following principles:
? The apartment should have high ceilings and large windows with exit south.
? Everything must be decorated white, "under the tree".
? Spraying on the walls looks beautiful, but it may be bored. Therefore, it is better to give preference to wallpaper: they can always be thrown away.
? The furniture should be white, not leather. The only drawback is it quickly dirty.
. The kitchen should be spacious, because it is on it most like to gather.
On four hundred square meters of my "united" apartment there was a place and a cozy sauna, trimmed by a light tree, and a giant jacuzzi, weighing almost three tons. Here, in the bathroom, there is a solarium, and in the neighborhood - a small gym.
The windows I did not overlap the curtains, only thin light curtains hung. And walls are covered with wallpaper and slightly tinted paint into soft colors. This creates a feeling of light and air.
A room in the apartment is a dressing room. Under it I had to give a whole room, which once and forever decided the problem with the cabinets - they were simply not needed. For the dressing room you can arrange a tour. Multimito? Just right. One rack - for outerwear, the other - for linen, the third one - with shoes, in the fourth permanently mixed up different things. But, despite the impressive size of the apartment, there was no place for the dining room in it. True, it does not upset me - I'm not a lovers of pathetic feasts and prefer to treat guests where it is currently more convenient. Often, my friends have to drink coffee, sitting on the floor (however, the heated floors are still covered with fluffy skin).
I dedicated to Paris, the city, which is in love. On the walls, in addition to cute baubles, bought in Paris flea markets, souvenir tin plates with the names of Paris Streets are ripe: Montmartre Champs Elysees,
Consent area. And the main decoration of the living room was the painting "Moulin Rouge", bought at the street Paris artist. The stairs lead to the second attic floor, pride and the decoration of which is a real fireplace. Moreover, it is not installed at the wall, but in the center, because of which the builders had to tinker - the chimney to mont into the ceiling. When work was done
i wanted to break to the workers and scream: everything, enough, burn this fireplace in a blue flame! But I have withstood the test repair. And not in vain: the fireplace, indeed, burns with a blue flame, and the smoke goes out of the pipe on the roof.
And finally, my special pride is the roof, where I like a flower-like-amateur with experience setting up a real winter garden. Here the eternal summer: Flowers are fragrant, trees grow: lemongrass, ficuses and even birch.
House repair - Endless process. First, something new is constantly appearing. Secondly, it becomes obsolete what was new and yesterday, and it is already necessary to change. Thirdly, things have a property break: then the crane will flow and urgently need to change the gasket, the wallpaper will be treacherously lagging ...
There is such a parable: if a person scored the last nail in the house, then
his house was built, and if the house was built - his life was over. Therefore, I even in dreams constantly building a house. Further, it was often done before bedtime: someone who believes sheep to fall asleep, and I built the house. Carefully built: here shelves, there are light bulbs and - fell asleep. Automatically. Now, because of this parable, I'm afraid to drive the last nail, because it is necessary to constantly be in the process.
