Once on the site of this two-story building with large bright windows stood another house - a wooden one that belonged to the grandfather of the current mistress. Here she spent her childhood, leaving vivid memories of summer holidays in the shade of the spreading trees of the apple orchard. However, over time, the wooden house decayed. Therefore, when it was decided to move to a permanent place of residence in the suburbs, there was an urgent need to rebuild the old dwelling.
Inside the house is simple and comfortable. On the first floor there is a public area, on the second - rooms of family members. In the interior you can find elements of Provence, ethnics and classics, forming a harmonious alloy. The public area of the first floor is solved in bright colors. The walls are covered with plaster and the ceilings are painted white. This visually increases the volume of small rooms. In the kitchen, almost all furniture has white facades, with the exception of an antique buffet, from restored and painted in dark gray with white patina. In turn, in the dining room and living room installed darker wooden furniture. Very light atmosphere created in the master bedroom. It is also dominated by a light scale: white walls, the ceiling in milky tones, the flooring of laminate under the whitewashed bamboo. Above a graceful wrought-iron bed is an airy canopy of a translucent veil, which gives the interior a romantic character and brings an oriental touch.
