Throughout refurbishment the space has changed substantially. In the starting Catherine attempted operating with an architect and a designer, but in the finish decided to do every little thing by herself. This was her initial encounter, and on acquiring a satisfactory outcome, the woman got down to producing designer projects for her mother’s and friend’s apartments.

On getting into the lodging you discover oneself in a guests’ zone united with a dining space. Thanks to this trick, a comparatively tiny metric area was able to incorporate two bedrooms, a spacious bathroom and a handful of storage zones.

The geometry of space was set by load-bearing beams below the ceiling, symmetrical doors and newly-constructed molding (the original a single was in such poor condition that its restoration had no sense). Solutions regarding the colour variety and materials have been made fast: taken as a basis had been neutral grey, contrasting oak flooring, and organic finishing components. Walls had been covered with eco-paint, wood is natural, among fabrics — wool, flax and velvet.

A kitchen set is also German, doors − Dolce Porte, a couch and a flax padded stool − Curations Restricted. Chandeliers, carpet, pillows − Laura Ashley.
A bedroom wardrobe was custom-created in a carpenter’s workshop. Bed − IKEA, arm-chair − Air of Provence, lighting and textile − Zara Home. Pictures were bought in Salzburg final summer time. Performs depicting a small yard in Moscow and Pokrovsky Boulevard have been located by the hosts in search for old-timey Moscow sceneries.
