Mum on the 60th anniversary as a gift made renovation of the kitchen 6 sq.m.: photos before and after
For my mum’s 60th birthday, we decided to make her a really memorable present – the renovation of her small kitchen. The budget was modest, just for materials and appliances, so we did the main work ourselves, putting a part of our soul into this gift.
We left the plastic window, installed a few years ago, and removed the window sill, replacing it with a wide worktop, suitable not only for flower pots, but also for cooking.
We removed the faded wallpaper from the walls and replaced the floor covering with new tiles. The “winter refrigerator”, preserved in Khrushchevka since its construction, was decorated with a kitchen facade, because the old plastic doors were very conspicuous. The screens were used to hide the battery, blending it into the rest of the interior. The radiator screen is lattice, so the warm air from the radiator enters the room without obstacles.
When choosing furniture for the kitchen, we decided on white colour. Contrary to common misconceptions, white furniture is not stain-resistant at all, and it is easy to care for. In a small area, white furniture allows you to achieve the effect of free space, to give the room more light.
The working area turned out to be spacious, because its part became a tabletop, which replaced the window sill. There is built-in lighting under the upper cabinets, so the hinged drawers do not block the light from the central lamp and it is very convenient to work in the kitchen.
