How to turn a backwater house into a palace Bashny.Net

Maksim and Marina dreamed of life together country-houseThere would be a place for children and for friends or relatives who suddenly came and stayed for the weekend.

The family was not able to buy a good country cottage, and their dream for a long time remained just a dream. But one day they got a lucky ticket.

The couple offered to buy the building of an old and already partially destroyed rural school. They gladly accepted this offer and took up the deal.

The couple took three years to get the site, and then another two years to settle down.





This is the state of the house before the remodeling.





Already during the repair it turned out that the house was partially rotten and had to redo almost everything. The couple did not have much money and did most of the work on their own. Everyone participated in the construction work: parents, friends, and close friends.





Editorial "Site" Let’s take a look at how to turn the trash into country-house. I consider this story a brilliant example of excellent taste and great work!

1. This is what the house looks like now.
   
   
   This is the side view. country cottage.
   
   
   
2. During the inspection of the school, the family found 4 stoves there, which were subsequently dismantled. From the received bricks, the first thing was laid out poles for the gate.
   
   
   
3. When you enter the house, the first thing you pay attention to is a spacious hallway with high ceilings.
   
   
   Pay attention to the paintings. For their creation, mainly children's drawings were used. The eldest daughter of Marina and Maxima is engaged in art school and thus exemplary parents show the girl that they believe in her and admire her talent.
   
   
   
   
   
4. From the remaining brick from the old stove laid out and a small cellar under the stairs. There is, however, one flaw. After the apples were stored there, the mice escaped to the smell, and now only canned foods in metal or glass jars live in this cellar.
   
   
   
5. The largest room on the first floor is undoubtedly the living room.
   
   
   Pay attention to the flooring - this is a real wooden parquet. Such a floor today is expensive. In fact, these are old boards that have been in the attic for over 50 years, but in the skillful hands of the owner of the house, they have turned into such a delightful floor.
   
   
   
   
   Very cozy, isn't it?
   
   
   
6. The living room of this house is combined with the dining room.
   
   
   Furniture in the house is either from IKEA or bought at great discounts at sales.
   
   
   The fireplace turned out to be an open type, the grille was made by a familiar blacksmith based on the sketches of the owner of the house.
   
   
   
7. There was no budget for home decor. Something was brought from an old apartment, something was given by friends.
   
   
   

The kitchen is the pride of the whole family. Marina, the hostess of the house, thought through the general concept of interior design and color scheme. And Maxim, according to his own sketches, made almost all the furniture.


Pay attention to the stove. It was also made by the owner of the house, and from scratch, but the painting of the oven is entirely the merit of the children.


How do you like this kitchen design?


On the first floor there is also a bedroom of the owners of the house.


I think it's pretty stylish and tasteful.


As the children grew older, the family moved back to their old apartment. After all, it is quite difficult to take children to school and to different circles, living in a village. As soon as you have free time, the family immediately comes to their favorite home. When everyone lived only here, this room was assigned to the office, where Maxim and Marina often worked.


Now it's more of a warehouse than an office. They bring everything that interferes in other rooms. Among other things, this room was used as a home library.




The dressing room, which is located on the second floor, also resembles a warehouse. Here are stored skis, sleds and other equipment.


On the second floor you can see a fairly spacious children's room.


Children in this family were lucky, because they created a separate playroom for them. However, it periodically performs the function of a room for lessons, and in case of an additional guest.


In this house you will not find glamour, exquisite and expensive furniture, perfect repair. But everything - from the stove and cabinets to small decor - is imbued with coziness and love for every corner, for every detail.




That is how a great desire, hard work, mutual understanding and sense of style help to realize the dream, and for a little money.
