50,000 impersonates 1 and shares the diary of the long road to transformation.

Decorating a home, although very hard, is also very happy. Watching his home take shape day by day, running around and tired every day, Hua Song felt happy at this moment. Officially, because of the hard work of the family, I finally have a home that makes me satisfied. The transformation began in May, and after various setbacks, the "campaign" finally ended in June 65438+ 10. The long renovation process has given me more experience. At this moment, I want to share it with you

A living room article

1, about the ceiling

Because our story is only 2.68 meters high, we didn't consider the ceiling, which will make us feel very depressed. Instead, we chose simple white plaster lines and spotlights. Therefore, this point needs to be designed in advance, because the wiring was buried in the first step of hydropower transformation. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the specific position of each exposed spotlight in advance.

2. About the balcony

We are from the north, and we usually install sliding doors between the balcony and the living room. However, considering that the visual effect of the open space will be reduced and it is not spacious enough, we give up installing sliding doors and use curtains to separate them. In winter, the room has floor heating. At present, according to the use situation, it is enough to draw this curtain to keep warm.

3. Cheats to save money

There are no complicated ceilings and heavy sliding doors. Is this one of the ways to save money?

4. TV background wall

Before the decoration of the living room, the floor tiles of the blank room and balcony have been paved. Walls also have the most basic paintings.

(1) TV background wall

This TV background wall looks very small, but my husband and I shed a lot of tears to get it! Why? Please look below, there are pictures and the truth.

On the afternoon of June 13, the master began to lay bricks on the wall. Originally, I thought about cultural bricks, but as a result, I stopped selling online stores below 6 faces. I looked for local physical stores everywhere and couldn't find them. So we have to choose the so-called "external wall brick" of Shan Hao brand. The final effect, we think, is not inferior to the cultural brick at all.

Go on, the master is to scrape off a layer of wall skin first, then water it, and then start laying bricks. Because the weather was sultry before the rainstorm that afternoon, the newly paved brick appeared and fell down in a short time! It really scared us. I thought we couldn't build this background wall in the end, so the whole design would change a lot. Fortunately, after the rainstorm, the weather is no longer sultry, and bricks can be safely left on the wall. In the meantime, there is a gap of about 1.5cm between bricks (I didn't buy a cross card online in advance, so there was no physical store, so the master had to estimate the masonry, which is also one of the mistakes).

At 7 pm, the background wall was formed. You see, we all buried the exposed spotlights and the wires of the switch socket in advance.

2013 June 18, big trouble is coming!

Because I didn't buy a special cultural brick caulking agent online, I didn't find it in the local physical store. The result is the caulking effect as shown below (this is the most important mistake in this decoration)!

Honey, you know what? In this way, all the uneven brick surfaces on the wall are firmly coated with caulking agent! Those uneven joints cannot be cleaned with cloth and water! Faced with such a gaudy wall, it's going to collapse! Can't this style of wall be the TV background wall at home? ! So, in the midst of many difficulties, I thought of a way that is not the way. Buy an iron brush and brush it with an iron brush!

A few hours later, a small piece was put on. So, we know the hard work in the next few days! If you have the spirit of a fool moving mountains, you can fix it!

Finally, after several days of fighting day and night, this effect was finally achieved on June 23 (five days later). In the meantime, three iron brushes were worn off. There are still many details, and we will continue to work hard in the future.

(2) the cost of this part

The raw materials for TV background wall processing are about 700 yuan, TV cabinets (Fraxinus mandshurica solid wood) 1900 yuan. To be clear, almost all the furniture in the house is produced by the local furniture factory.

Advantages: Fraxinus mandshurica furniture made of solid wood is much better than that in shopping malls.

Disadvantages: the appearance of furniture is relatively fixed, and there are not many styles to choose from. Fortunately, this simple and clean style is what we need.

Sofa coffee tables are all made locally, and the prices are very affordable. Sofa 2600 yuan, coffee table 1000 yuan (all solid wood red oak). Friends who have been here say that this coffee table is cost-effective, haha.

Ikea has recliners, black bookshelves, carpets and pink personalized wall clocks on the wall. We think IKEA's products are also inexpensive.

The hanging paintings are all hand-painted oil paintings. The contents of the paintings are my own choice, and the words were carefully completed by one of my elders in January (including several other oil paintings at home). So this aspect is to save money.

5. About chandeliers

As the main light of the living room, the style of the chandelier is also very important. Choose to choose, we gave up modern lamps such as ceiling lamps and crystal lamps, and chose this slightly retro ceiling fan lamp. Summer can be used for cooling, and practicality and lighting coexist. If it is American, retro, and mixed style, you can consider this. This lamp was bought online and the price is very reasonable. It costs more than 560 yuan, and 30 yuan is not enough for an electrician.

6. About curtains

In fact, the overall color is not very gorgeous, considering that getting home is like a canvas, the background color can be simpler, and the later soft clothes can change colors and styles at will according to the mood, which can often be full of fun. Therefore, the curtains also chose plaid and linen that echoed the background wall. Personally, I like this elegance.

Step 7 enter the entrance

Flowers and paintings. There are flowers in the picture, and there are pictures in the flower. Hand-painted oil paintings come from elders. Flowers, vases, clay figurines, these holiday decorations are also online shopping.

8. The balcony part connected with the living room

Rouman's gauze curtain fills the small balcony with warmth. The basement can sit and lie in the sun, which is a practical storage function. On the other side of the balcony, there is a washing machine and a mop pool, and the hanging cabinet can store all kinds of washing supplies well (the broom was not hidden at that time, but now I bought a hook to hang behind the washing machine, which is very good).

Second, the master bedroom

In fact, because the installation style is relatively simple, the master bedroom is also very simple, and there is no other furniture except the bed and bedside table. The only furniture is this wardrobe that occupies a whole wall. It is 4 meters wide and 2.68 meters high. This is handmade by a carpenter. Personally, I think it is very practical. The two of us, one person occupies a cabinet, each cabinet is 2 meters. It can store all clothes, bedding and so on. All right.

There is also a huge oil painting of 3 meters *2 meters on the bedside, which is still under production and will be updated to the top of the bedside after completion. Otherwise, it is blank and lacks color and vitality.

Let me talk about the origin of this 4-meter cabinet:

1, first according to the specific size of the home, drawing design, design scheme can refer to online Sophia and other big-name designs, there are many.

Show the drawing to the carpenter, he will understand it at a glance, which is very simple for them. If you don't know anything, just communicate with each other. Then I started to build a wardrobe. Mine is 4 meters long and 2.68 meters high, which means the whole wall is used as a wardrobe. Everybody take 2 meters, that's enough!

The advantage of making your own cabinet is that the materials are controllable. I use a paint-free board, so I don't need to paint later, which is more labor-saving. Specific materials can be found in the market, and now there are many new materials on the market that we can't think of! How much budget do you have to make cabinets with corresponding materials? Better than what I bought, I think.

4, the later stage is the bought hardware. For example, clothes rails, flanges, drawer slides, trouser racks, hinges, etc. , are sold separately. It is recommended to use a good hydraulic hinge, which is used in our family.

5, woodworking sliding doors are not made by yourself, you have to buy them yourself. I walked around the local market and didn't find a suitable sliding door. It's depressing. Finally, I chose this white one as a wild card.

It's really big, and it can be loaded! Relatives and friends like this big wall wardrobe when they come, hehe.
