The apartment needs renovation for a long time: the wallpaper has faded and in some places has moved away from the walls, the effects of flooding from the neighbors above are visible on the ceiling. It is difficult for one woman to organize repairs, so for the actress's birthday, the designers of the famous TV show decided to make a luxurious gift: an update of the interior in the kitchen.
