Renovation Plans for an Apartment

Introduction to the Project

• The speaker introduces their new apartment purchased from Pik, emphasizing plans for inexpensive renovations that will appear stylish and expensive.

• The living room is highlighted as a central area of the 88 sq. meter apartment, with specific dimensions mentioned (24 sq. meters).

• A wall obstructing the kitchen area will be removed, along with tiles, to create a more open space with laminated flooring.

Demolition and Initial Changes

• Alyona is introduced as the designer in charge of the renovation; she begins by tearing down a wall.

• Safety gear is emphasized during demolition work, highlighting its importance in home renovation projects.

Painting UPVC Windows

Window Transformation

• The speaker expresses disdain for white UPVC windows due to visible lines and irregularities; they plan to paint them dark gray for a sleek look.

• Colority is hired for window painting; protective measures are taken before starting the painting process.

Painting Process Details

• Steps include covering glass with film, removing sealant, and preparing surfaces through degreasing and sanding before applying paint.

• Costs associated with painting each window are detailed: $100 for small windows, $200 for medium ones, and $250 for the largest one.

Cost Breakdown of Renovations

Financial Overview

• A breakdown of costs reveals that dismantling alone cost $1000; this challenges common assumptions about budget renovations.

• Discussion on tile issues highlights problems with white grout absorbing stains over time; plans to replace it with better quality grout are mentioned.

Stretch Ceiling Painting Experiment

Innovative Techniques

• The speaker discusses attempting to paint stretch ceilings—a unique approach aimed at achieving an expensive look without high costs.

• Concerns about how well this technique will work are expressed as they prepare to test it in adjacent rooms.

Execution of Painting

• Preparation steps include degreasing ceilings and using specialized paint resistant to stretching; application techniques are crucial for success.

• Only one layer of paint is applied since stretch ceilings do not absorb much paint; drying time considerations are also noted.

Final Touches on Walls and Colors

Wall Painting Insights

• After completing ceiling painting, attention shifts back to walls where color matching becomes critical due to uniform design choices throughout the apartment.

Challenges in Color Matching

• Finding fabric samples that match painted colors proves challenging; precise matching is essential when working within a monochromatic scheme.

Completion Status Update

Progress Report

• After two weeks, significant progress has been made on renovations including wall painting which turned out beautifully according to the speaker's standards.

Future Plans

• Upcoming plans include installing an inexpensive kitchen under $3000 while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
