Dining room

The dining room also acts as a living room. The upholstered sofa was made to order. The dining table and chairs were purchased from local producers. Antique processing gives the furniture a special charm. The brass chandelier was created according to Yuri's drawings. Its design refers to the Soviet past: the same lamps were hung in the schools of the USSR. The cornices were also picked up in a shade of brass.

Kitchen

The kitchen is located at the entrance. The set, consisting of one tier, was arranged in an L-shaped manner. The reduced fronts of drawers and doors have become an unusual solution; they do not fit together in the old manner. The impression is enhanced by a retro oven.

1st bedroom

The fireplace was installed in place of an old brick chimney. At the same time, they did not dismantle the chimney. The shovel that was used to make flour was found in the attic. It has become an authentic piece of decor. They added bright colors through textiles and painting.

The double bed was moved by the headboard against the wall. Opposite her - in the wall between the windows - a sofa was placed.

Second bedroom

The second bedroom also has space for a bed and a sofa. Here we limited ourselves to a single-bed model. The historic stove was preserved, but it was tiled with "hog" tiles. This room contains the main storage system - a spacious wardrobe.

Bathroom

The bathroom was also decorated in light colors. The walls were divided horizontally. Upstairs, paint was used under the ceiling, and tiles were used below. The shower was hidden behind slatted doors.
