We update the porch, paint the windows in bright colors, paint the floor and make repairs in the bathroom in the country.
1 refresh the walls inside
Often, the most attention is given to the facade of the house, and the interior decoration does not change for years. Try repaint the wall in new bright colors to update the interior of the cottage. If the walls are covered with a timber, use paints, varnishes, a veil, and water-based wax - it is safer and better from the point of view of ecology, and with a low degree of hiding - if you want to preserve the texture of the tree. Brick walls can be painted with waterfront paint, and the OSP panels are caught by wallpaper.
Choose warm days for repair when the windows can be left open and quickly ventilate the room.
2 Repair the porch
If the porch is updated at the cottage, summer is the best time to fix it. First of all, get the porch to the base and make sure that it is not damaged and does not depart from the main foundation of the house. If cracks and damage are detected, the porch is better to rebuild from scratch.Wooden
The outer part, if it is made of wood, you need to clean the paint and check for the presence of dark stains - this is how the rotting of the tree looks like. Such elements are better replaced, and then coated with a solution of copper sulphate. The poles and fence of the porch are attached to metal corners and self-tapping screws to have the opportunity to pull the canopy if he moved away from the wall. Collect all the porch, heating the fire solution and cover the antiseptic. In order to in a year or two, do not repaint a porch, before applying paint, apply two layers of primer.
Concrete
The concrete porch is first closed with a special hammer if the sound is ringing - there is no damage. Cracks are cleaned and treated with adhesion composition, after which they are covered with cement-sandy solution. The fledged corners of the steps can be fixed with a mixture of cement, pva and sand.
3 update old floor
Fully change the floors - expensive and long, so try to update them. The wooden floor is cleaned from old paint and, if possible, aligns. A water-based paint is applied on top, you can use stencils and apply bright patterns from above. Try simple geometric patterns - they are easier to create. For example, to create strips or rectangles, you do not need to cut stencils, enough of the usual painting scotch.
4 make repairs in the bathroom
A small trick that will not hit the budget and will make it stylishly arrange the bathroom at the cottage - professional flooring for the roof. It is not afraid of water, as it is covered with an anti-corrosion coating and the service life in the premises will be at least fifty years. Another option is plastic panels. They are also not afraid of dampness and easy to install.
5 Reinforced windows
If paint was placed on the window wooden frames, you can put them in order in a couple of days. Old paint is cleaned by coarse sandpaper, the surface is ground, dries and covered with paint. For the outside, choose paint, resistant to dampness and temperature drops. By the way, you can paint the old plastic windows.
6 Refresh the ceiling
If the ceiling suffered due to the flowing roof, after repairing it, try not to repaint the surface, but to cut the clapboard. After that, the lining can be painted in any color and even attach thin beams to create a more cozy atmosphere.
