Since I planned to move at the end of last year, I have seen the appearance of our new home in my mind countless times. It is difficult for people to feel at home in other places, and it is also renting a house. Many people will move a bed and a table from simple decoration and live for four years, but I have been a troublemaker since I was a child. I don't want to stay in a place I don't like for four years in college, so I made up my mind to decorate our house well. The boxes I returned to China this time are basically ornaments used to dress up at home. I'll try to mail them to America. . . Let me introduce my house first. The rented house is about 65 square meters. A bedroom+a small living room+a dining room+a kitchen+a bathroom+a balcony. My boyfriend and I are both people with a lot of things, but this space is enough for us to live in. I forgot to take a photo of my new home for the first time. Actually nothing is empty.
Let's start with the living room. We are still studying, so the most important thing is to study. There are two tables in the living room. Bought a picture sticker from IKEA. You can search them if necessary.
The photo wall hanging on the left wall is some small cards I bought in tb, and I can also buy them here. It will look better if I put them with my own photos ~
I really can't find a link to a long decoration posted in front. You can go to these shops that specialize in selling decorations. Many shops sell them ~ ~
The sofa in the living room Next, I put a row of dolls on the sofa in the living room, which I found when I was playing in various places, and some of them belonged to IKEA. Every time I go to IKEA, I bring a doll back ~ the decoration behind it is also found in a small shop in America.
Pay attention to this signal light! ! There are all kinds of letters and pictures that can be combined at will. Put it at home, it's much warmer in an instant ~ it costs one or two hundred dollars to buy here in the United States, and 200 soft sister coins in China!
My favorite part of my dresser must be my dresser! !
I sent notes at my original home before, and many people asked me for links at that time ~ today I will talk about it in detail!
Table? Most of the storage has not changed, but this time I added a cosmetic mirror and storage cabinet that I love very much, and several small platforms were added to the wall for display.
All cabinets, tables and chairs are purchased by IKEA. I put two brimnes series together, and the sum is less than1k.
I have also sent notes before. You can have a look if you are interested. All my storage is acrylic, except the ones introduced in my notes. I searched for makeuporganizer in Amazon, USA, and American friends can search and see all kinds of storage boxes. There are also many tb ~ search acrylic storage boxes in China
This storage is recommended to everyone. The ubiquitous ice box is very suitable for monochrome eye shadow.
Actually, all the cups with brushes belong to my boyfriend. I don't know where he found so many lovely cups, and they are all for my own use! A makeup brush is perfect.
Next, talk about my makeup mirror. This mirror really messed us up. The mirror and lamp recommended by my friend are separate mirrors. It was just bought by Amazon.
We need to talk about this lamp. First of all, this lamp is not American. All IKEA products come from Europe. I bought two light strips named musik from Amazon.
This light strip has nothing, no light bulb, no wires, no switch and no socket. You have to go to a home improvement shop to buy your own assembly, just like junior high school physics class. Fortunately, I have a boyfriend to help me with these things, otherwise I really can't handle them myself, but fortunately, the final result is not bad. I bought a light bulb with long life and good quality. The switch can adjust the brightness of the light bulb, and I can't turn on the lowest brightness. Together, this lamp cost about 200 to 300 yuan, which is not cheap. Attached is a photo of his assembly, hahaha.
The boards nailed to the wall can be found in IKEA for wall partitions.
We divide the restaurant into two parts, one is my boyfriend's world, and the other is the dining table. He likes fishing, so everything here is fishing.
We bought a retractable dining table. A crowded place can be turned into a table for six. It's convenient to call it Bjors.
Insert a picture and take a picture. Hee hee)
Bedroom part
The storage cabinet on the left is an old friend's product KALLAX 16 display cabinet, and the decoration tb on the bed is found.
The favorite part is that this dream catcher is very suitable for taking pictures ~ handmade ~
Jewelry storage
This shelf was bought in America. It is called Song Mics lockable jewelry cabinet wall door. It can hold many ornaments and looks good when placed.
This is also for jewelry. I bought three, but I didn't bring the other one because it was too big. The workmanship is not very fine, but it is ok to play with it.
If you have any questions or want to know, please comment.
What does it mean for you to spend 3000 yuan to rebuild a 25-square-meter rental house in Meinian? Is it a hometown thousands of miles away, or a suite with a room? For him, home is also a place where people can feel at ease when they are tired. In the first year of college graduation, this small house of 25㎡ was his first home.
Know him?
Green, a new graduate in the workplace.
20 17 is my fifth year in Shanghai. From study to work, I love all the wonderful people and things I meet here. Whether it's the old villa in the French Concession, the romantic Suzhou River, or the old Mai Cafe that accompanied the whole university time, these are the reasons why I don't want to leave here.
Tomoyoshi
I adopted a cat in 2065438+2005 10, so I named it eleven, nicknamed Xiaoyi.
Cat pudding
A big white lion cat raised by a friend in my house.
Housing information
Unit type: small studio
Area: the suite is about 25m2.
Cost: about 3000 yuan.
Decoration inspiration: The model house of IKEA store is also very interesting by watching some home bloggers share on WeChat official account, Weibo and ins. With a little aesthetic accumulation and a pair of hard-working hands, it doesn't cost much to renovate, so it's most important to find the one that suits you.
Before the transition
When I first moved in, it was terrible. Bathrooms and kitchens can only meet the basic needs of life. But I really want to thank my classmates for having an affordable house near the inner ring of Shanghai. The rent in this place is extremely expensive. Although the house is old, it is transparent from north to south, with independent bathroom and kitchen. The bedroom is not small, the balcony faces south, and there is a lot of room for renovation.
living room
The living room and bedroom are in the same space. Before moving in, sell the furniture that can be sold and throw it away to make room for your own things.
A chest of drawers with casters: IKEA? Helmer (199 yuan)
Sofa: Net Amoy? White Tea King (250 yuan)
Just moved in. I lost my landlord's big sofa, and lifting it from the sixth floor almost killed me. Buy furniture from IKEA and assemble it yourself.
Edge: IKEA? Gladen (99 yuan)
Carpet: IKEA? He Changrong Carpet (149 yuan)
I found a small sofa on the internet, and it is just right to put sundries at ordinary times.
Eat with friends. There is little space at home, so there is no place to prepare the dining table. It can be used as a small dining area for the time being, but it is a bit crowded when there are many people.
The cork board is pasted with photos taken by oneself and posters cut from magazines.
bedroom
The bedroom has changed the most, basically throwing away everything left by the landlord except the white wardrobe.
A bed board left by the landlord is placed directly under the mattress to reduce moisture.
Bedclothes: net scouring? Chen Lan home textile set of four (249 yuan) fabric is comfortable and not pilling.
Tapestry: net scouring? Qingshan Samui (99 yuan) has thin fabric and high face value.
Bedding has a great influence on the overall style of the bedroom, because at first I imagined various simple combinations, so I bought four sets of pure gray washed cotton and four sets of camel knitted cotton, which can be reversed. It is just right to use tapestries as bedside decorations.
Floor lamp: IKEA? The arm of 79 yuan lamp is adjustable, which is convenient to adjust the direction of light source.
Ikea's chest of drawers has casters that can be moved anywhere you want at any time. It can be used as a locker or bedside table.
Living alone, with two cats, makes me know myself better, and I can calm down and think more about things.
A movie in summer night and warm sunshine in winter morning make life simpler but easier to satisfy.
Hand stool
The bedside is a workbench facing south. Because I usually like to make handmade leather goods, I need more space to do my own handiwork.
Foot of the table: IKEA? Fenwald partition bracket (205 yuan)
Ikea's legs are fitted with an old elm wooden board as the desktop of the manual table. The old elm wooden door board is simply a sharp weapon for taking pictures, with strong practical function and great decorative effect. It is a very good photographic background board.
The texture of the old wood is irreplaceable by any background.
Working area
The opposite side of the bed was originally an office area, so I lost the landlord's original desk and added something new.
Bookshelf: IKEA? Leberg (99 yuan)
Desk: IKEA? Limon/Addis (1 19 yuan)
Chair: Nettao Yi Musi Chair (69 yuan)
Trolley: IKEA? Lasker (249 yuan)
The office area is basically occupied by me, and if the budget is not enough to buy a lot of photo frames and hanging pictures, you can cut some decorative pictures in magazines and stick them on the wall with masking paper, which is also a good choice.
Ikea shelves are really easy to use, all odds and ends can be stored, and they also have the function of displaying shelves.
The branches picked up at the door come in handy, hanging pine cones for decoration, or making a place with rope branches where dusters and rags can be hung.
I bought a bunch of eucalyptus leaves at the flower and bird market, and even the aromatherapy was saved at home.
kitchen
Before the renovation, it can only meet the basic needs of life, and the walls are all oil stains accumulated in the old house for more than 20 years.
The original kitchen didn't have a countertop, so cooking would be very inconvenient. I specially customized a two-meter-long countertop and made a wall with branches to hang tableware.
Seasoning jar: IKEA (9.9 yuan /7.9 yuan)
Occasionally cook on weekends, cook a bowl of hot bamboo shoots and pickle them.
balcony
There used to be an old wooden cabinet eroded by rain on the balcony, which was removed and transported downstairs little by little.
Clean the oxygen net, toilet cleaner, steel ball and Kling together, and repaint the wall after some cleaning.
Spread anticorrosive wooden floor, simulate moss and white stone, and cover all the corners that can't be cleaned.
Now it has become the favorite place for two small animals in the family to bask in the sun.
Although there will still be dissatisfaction, it is enough. Winter has passed, so it may be better to buy some plants and put them on the balcony. This is Green's first home in Shanghai. He doesn't have his own house. Let's warm the rental house first. Remember your first home after graduation?
