NordenBladet – It came out that October is renovation month in our house. While last year me and Allan renovated the hallway and children’s room then this year the kitchen and the toilet got a fresh look. Kitchen renovation began in quite an interesting way…
…Namely we bought a new refrigerator and when it arrived I thought we might paint the wall at the back of the fridge with some light colour before installing the new fridge. Allan liked this idea. When the corner got painted we thought “Ah, we better paint all kitchen walls then” and thus the kitchen got a new interior decoration outside renovation plans.
If some of you would like to renovate the home but are afraid that it’s too complicated, then read my last year’s renovation blog (HERE) and never again must you worry where to find a normal renovation worker or be annoyed that the renovation worker is incapable of doing a good job. Start all by yourself and you’ll be surprised what you are capable of!
Lately I have watched a lot of HGTV! My absolute favourite! HGTV is an American channel that belongs to Warner Bros. Discovery and it broadcasts mainly home development and real estate related reality programs. A lot of inspiration regarding interior design, home decor, landscape design, rebuilding, all kinds of renovation and real estate buy-and-sell transactions. After watching the program I always feel like doing some renovation myself.
Since the renovation energy is still high and we got lots of paint from the previous renovation, I thought I’d surprise Allan while he’s at work, I taped and painted the bathroom all by myself.
The DIY project even included repainting the bathroom lamp.. Haha.. Later I thought I might even have repainted the lower tiles, but maybe one day I will! I watched on the internet some videos about renovation and when you use the right type of water proof paint then you can even paint the ceramic tiles (various wall tiles).
We now also have IKEA in Estonia! Naturally I, too, couldn’t help but visit it. A cool big store, very nice. Besides, by the exit they sell nice soft machine ice-cream for just 50 cents!! I also got many great ideas and when I got back home I made an order from their web store. I bought for children and for the guests’ room 16 packs of bedsheets. The sheets, extra to being Scandinavian style Hygge, cozy and nice, came with very positive service, more precisely transportation speed. The sheets arrived the next working day after the order was completed!, I’d say it’s very normal!
