A bold decision - buying started construction
The actress acquired the construction started, located on a large plot not far from the Ilyinsky highway. The previous owners carried out only the marking of the territory and drove in the piles. After a detailed analysis of the project, Regina Männik with the architects finalized and approved some adjustments.
In the project of a three-story house, many interior partitions were removed. Regina Männik associated the presence of small rooms with Khrushchevs, so she made the rooms as spacious as possible.
Regina, in order to combine both shooting and current construction issues, got up at dawn. The big plus was that the team lived in a nearby trailer and could work even at night. Regina's house was the first in the village, so the loud noise did not bother anyone. For the actress, such a regime was not at all a burden, on the contrary, she gladly plunged into a new business for her.
Financial issues were also settled. Regina starred a lot in those years, so material well-being allowed the actress to quickly solve any problems.
Unusual design of the first floor
Regina initially did not want to decorate the interior in some generally accepted style. She saw something elegant, European and very comfortable in her home. Traditionally, the ground floor has a spacious living room, dining area and kitchen. Laid on the floor porcelain stoneware, for the ceiling they chose a non-standard solution - painting in dark gray tones. This combination brought the design closer to the industrial loft style.
Black painted oak panels were chosen for the walls. Wood softened the industrial design and made the living room a little cozier. Panoramic windows were decorated with monochromatic dense curtains of a chocolate shade.
Arrangement of the second floor
On the second floor, Regina arranged private rooms. The walls of each room are decorated with heavy velvet curtains, giving the impression of being in a box. Even in the bathroom, the bowl is separated from the common area by a single-color fabric. In personal bedroom Regina laid the ship's plank on the floor, the walls are covered with luxurious wallpaper in a wide vertical strip.
The interior of the bedroom is very similar to a theater stage, where the curtains are a classic curtain. The main place is occupied by a luxurious bed with high headboarddecorated with a carriage coupler. Additionally, the room was equipped with a small work area made of solid wood and a low armchair with velor upholstery.
Regina's bedroom is illuminated by a luxurious chandelier with crystal trimmings, spotlights above the window and stylish floor lamp on a tripod. As a decoration, they chose antique chests with an aged surface, which outwardly resemble theatrical props.
On the second floor, in addition to the bedrooms, a spacious dressing room and a bathroom with huge mirrored canvases were equipped. Each room contains a large number of books that the actress has been collecting for more than one year. Regina absolutely does not accept electronic media and always reads only paper editions. Some rooms are decorated with portraits of Leo Tolstoy and Ludwig van Beethoven, because classical music is another hobby of the actress.
The third floor is occupied by the children of Regina Männik. It is noteworthy that there are no clocks on the upper floors, as the actress believes that they negatively affect a good rest.
Favorite place for gatherings - a glazed terrace
From the dining area leads to a huge glazed terrace with an area of 50 m2. It is similar in appearance to a Scottish house thanks to the checkered upholstery and decor. Here Regina often gathers close people with whom she plays "Mafia" until the morning.
Panoramic windows decorate blinds with natural wood slats. A snow-white massage chair acts as a spectacular and useful decor, which dilutes the dark palette in the interior. A huge 9 m long sofa and several smaller models were installed in the recreation area. A coffee table of impressive size was placed between them, the tabletop of which is decorated with gold leaf.
An ideal and calm atmosphere always reigns on the veranda, conducive to relaxing rest. The actress just loves to enjoy the singing of birds or watch the relict spruce trees. A mini-kitchen was organized near the wall, where you can quickly make coffee or cook crayfish, and a small refrigerator was placed to cool drinks.
Summary
The three-story house of the actress is filled with an incredible atmosphere of peace and comfort. Regina always dreamed that every guest could plunge into her special world from the doorway. All pieces of furniture and decor are perfectly matched and complement each other, creating a unified concept of theatrical design.
