This bedroom renovation didn’t even require a budget – the homeowners spent almost nothing. And the result is impressive – see for yourself.
“Don’t let the pictures scare you—the attic was actually in pretty good shape when we bought the house,” says Lisa Przystup. For example, the flooring did not need to be changed, but the walls only needed to be repainted.
The couple got down to business with great enthusiasm. First, we cleared the space and threw out old things. What happened next?
Even at the beginning of the renovation, the couple set themselves a goal – to spend as little money as possible. First of all, we decided to repaint the floors – they left the color dark, it contrasts well with the white walls. The latter, by the way, were also updated with paint .
The renovation turned out to be cosmetic, quick and budget-friendly – but look how the space was transformed.
Both new furniture and old things were brought to the attic – they belonged to Jonathan’s grandfather. For example, the initials GL still remain on the folding chairs – don’t throw away a family heirloom.
The chairs were left in case guests arrived – when folded, they do not take up much space. Lisa and Jonathan keep them next to the small door leading to the attic. We immediately fell in love with the door, so we decided not to change it and restore it.
There was also room in the attic for a mini-living room – it is separated from the bedroom by a column. The couple got the chest of drawers in the living room area from the previous owners and fits perfectly into the interior.
The furnishings turned out to be modern, albeit with vintage furniture – it gave the interior a special atmosphere that only happens in old houses. And most importantly, I practically didn’t have to buy anything.
