Mixed reactions to repairs
The dacha of the Yolanda Chen family is located in an amazing place surrounded by relict pine trees. Here the parents of the athlete live permanently, getting out into the city for only a couple of days. The old house keeps the memory of generations, every piece of furniture and decor is loved by the whole family. But sooner or later, changes come, the time has come for the reconstruction of the kitchen-dining room - an expensive place for the whole family.
Yolanda Chen decided to give her parents a luxurious gift for their diamond wedding - a complete transformation of the kitchen-dining room. The surprise, according to the idea of the athlete, was to shake up the spouses and make them look at life in a new way, because they are in old age. For help, the commentator turned to well-known Moscow designers.
The professionals were tasked with making the kitchen-dining room comfortable and modern, filled with a pleasant atmosphere, comfort and coziness. The parents had to be told about the surprise, since they had to leave the house during the renovation.
Difficult stages of repair
The kitchen-living room was equipped in the annex to the house. The main nuance was the massive wooden staircase to the second floorthat interfered with normal movement around the room. The interior is designed in a classic style with a lot of wood in the decoration. The lining on the walls darkened the space, so they immediately decided to replace it.
The builders dismantled the clapboard and plank floors, removed the old stove and stairs. For the new fireplace, more solid foundation. One of the most environmentally friendly insulation materials - stone wool - was laid on the floor. A layer of vapor barrier and moisture-resistant chipboards were laid on top.
A new crate was installed on the walls and ceiling, the wooden honeycomb was filled with basalt rock wool insulation and closed with a vapor barrier. Polished pine boards were chosen as a decorative finish.
Moisture-resistant cement slabs were laid on the floor, they were fixed self-tapping screws and putty the seams using an alkali-resistant mesh. Then the heating mats were laid and porcelain stoneware with marble effect. The slabs were placed diagonally, diluting the light elements with dark inserts.
Replacement of window structures
The old windows were replaced with American sliding sash sliders. One of the openings was cut into the floor and a door to the garden was installed. Its peculiarity is the absence of a vertical lintel in the middle, which interferes with a comfortable passage.
Features of installing a new fireplace
In place of the old hearth, a new fireplace made of stove bricks was laid out and decorated with handmade clay tiles. They store heat and make it softer. The chimney is assembled from ceramic blocks. The inside of the pipe is made of high-quality ceramics, around it there is a layer of thermal insulation. The structure was taken out to the roof and covered with a stainless steel deflector.
Fine finishing of the space
The joint between the wall and the ceiling was decorated with wide moisture-resistant polyurethane foam cornices. Window openings were decorated with similar elements. The boards were covered with matte mint paint. The surfaces can be washed later, which is very important for the kitchen. For the ceiling, we chose a snow-white range. The old doors were replaced with new panels in the classic style.
Installing a new ladder
The new flight of stairs was made of durable beech. The result is a very graceful helical design with a slight bend. The side elements were painted in a deep blue shade, the legs and steps were covered with a colorless oil, emphasizing the beautiful natural structure wood.

Kitchen area decoration
An ash-tree set with a dark bottom and a white top was installed along two walls. Wall cabinets are decorated with decorative glass and mirrors. Convenient hinges are complemented by silent door closers. The worktop with an integrated sink is made of marbled quartz agglomerate. The apron and window sills were made of the same material.
The kitchen was equipped with a built-in dishwasher, refrigerator and oven. Above the glass-ceramic panel was installed domed hood with fittings for bronze. The golden L-shaped faucet in retro style was matched to the tone.
The dining area has a large oak table with carved legs and modern chairs made of gilded wire with soft seats. They put a new one under the stairs bookshelf from solid wood in the style of the English library with glass doors and furniture locks in bronze.
Elegant seating area
The windows were decorated with curtains made of fabric with a spectacular print in gray tones on golden cornices. In addition, hung Roman curtains made of cotton fabric. A modern TV set in a baguette frame with a mirror surface was installed in the recreation area. A low-pile carpet in beige tones was laid on the floor. Next to the fireplace, they put original armchairs in the English style and a round coffee table on a gold frame.
Lighting and decoration of the space
The design of the kitchen-dining room was completed by high snow-white floor plinths with a relief. New steel radiators with ribs in the form of tubes, painted in the color of the walls. The room is illuminated by spectacular sconces in gold and track ceiling lamps with directing light. In the center were hung two luxurious handmade chandeliers with mother-of-pearl pendants-plates.

Summary
The designers left all the functional areas in the same places, which is important for the elderly parents of the athlete. The decorators have correctly chosen the shade range, thanks to which the room began to seem even more spacious. Instead of the usual L-shaped headset installed cabinets along the walls, leaving enough space in the corner for a mirrored refrigerator. This arrangement has increased the functionality of the kitchen area.
In our opinion, the work of the designers turned out to be flawless. Yolanda Chen's parents were absolutely delighted with the new and bright interior of the kitchen.
