UHLAHLO-LWABIWO MALI LWEKHITSHI YOKWAKHA IKHITSHI- PHAMBI KWEEFOTO

Umnini khitshi omtsha wayichaza njengesebenzayo, kodwa enamehlo kwaye ezimisele ukuyenza ibe mnandi kangangoko. Iinyanga ezilithoba kunye netoni yokwenza i-DIY kamva, oku kulungiswa embindini kugqityiwe kwaye eli khitshi ligumbi elitsha ngokupheleleyo.

Umfundi u-Erin Corbett wayenobubele ngokwaneleyo ukuba angenise le projekthi kwaye abelane ngeenkcukacha malunga nemicimbi kunye nenkuthazo esemva kwayo:

I-condo yam encinci yakhiwa ngo-1984 kwaye akukho nto ingako ekhitshini eyayichukumisiwe ukusukela ngoko. Yayineekhabhathi ezimnyama zemithi, ukhilimu kunye nesinyithi izixhobo zokubala ezinamabala amdaka, indawo yokubuyela umva enomonakalo omkhulu kunye nomhlwa, imigangatho ye-linoleum emanzi kakhulu, kunye ne-mish-mash emhlophe, ukhilimu kunye nezixhobo zesilivere ezikumgangatho ophantsi. Yayisebenza, kodwa iliso elibukhali!

Ikhitshi laliphezulu kuluhlu lwam lwezinto zokuzihlaziya xa ndithenga le ndawo. Ndayithenga emva kokuphela kobudlelwane bam, kwaye kwakubalulekile kum ukubeka phambili ukwenza ikhaya elihle lentombi yam eneminyaka emi-4 ubudala kunye nam. Ndinobutshaba obunamandla kumdaka kunye noonokrwece, ngoko ke kwakulula ukukhetha ikhitshi kuqala!

Eso sisizathu esimnandi, esinokubuyiseka sokwenza uhlengahlengiso! Kwakhona, ndandifuna nje ukubonisa ukuba iikhabhathi zazintle, zimnyama, zityebile iinkuni, ngokuchaseneyo nobusi obunoburharha okanye umakhi weenkuni zomgangatho o-orenji oqhelekileyo esihlala siwubona. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndandinokubabona basebenzela abanye bethu kakuhle, kodwa khange basebenzele uErin.

Ngoku ligumbi elahluke ngokupheleleyo. Yonke imikhondo yebala elimdaka kunye neqanda liye lacinywa, kwafakwa iphalethi emnyama emnyama, emhlophe, engwevu esebenza ngcono ngakumbi ngesinki engenasici. Akusekho mqondiso werusi, kwaye izixhobo zombane ezintsha zithathe indawo yezona zikumgangatho ophantsi; Kwakhona, iphalethi yasekhitshini isebenza ngokugqibeleleyo ngefriji entsha emnyama kunye nentsimbi kunye nesitovu. I-backsplash encinci yongeza kancinci kwaye inobukho obuqinileyo ekhitshini elincinci.

Makhe sive u-Erin echaza iprojekthi:

Ndapeyinta iikhabhathi ngepeyinti ebhodini kwimbala engwevu namhlophe, ndatshintsha zonke izixhobo zekhabinethi ezimnyama, ndaphinda ndatyabeka imiphezulu yeetafile kwayingwevu ekhanyayo, ndambathisa i-flooring nge-peel-and-stick tiles, ndatshintsha i-backsplash nge-iridescent mosaic yesilivere , zaphinda zapeyintwa iindonga.

Ukususela ekuqaleni kuye ekugqibeleni, kuthabatha malunga neenyanga ezilithoba. Andikaze ndenze naluphi na uhlobo lweeprojekthi zophuculo lwasekhaya ngaphambili, ke ndiyenzile le nto ngokupheleleyo ngezifundo ezikwi-Intanethi, iingcebiso kubahlobo, kunye netyala kunye nephutha! Ngaphandle kokubandakanya izixhobo zombane, iindleko zizonke zazingaphantsi kwe- $ 600. Amashiti e-backsplash tile ayengaphezulu kwesiqingatha sale nto, ndandiyithanda kakhulu le ndlela yokuyila kunye nokuqaqamba.

Apha sijongwa kakuhle kumgangatho omnyama nomhlophe ohlolwe-ihlala iklasikhi. U-Erin wayengenawo umgangatho ofuna ukubuyiselwa okanye ukugcinwa, kwaye ukubuyisela endaweni bekuya kuba yindleko enkulu, ngoko i-peel-and-stick tiles ibonakala njengesisombululo esifanelekileyo.

Emva kweenyanga ezininzi zomsebenzi, u-Erin wonwabile ziziphumo:

Ndiyayithanda inkangeleko entsha, ecocekileyo ngoku. Ikhaphukhaphu, isebenza ngakumbi, kwaye iyamema. Iyadibana, kwaye yonke into ijongeka ngathi yeyakho kunye. Ndifunde lukhulu kule projekthi, kodwa ekugqibeleni bendiya kwenza izinto ezifanayo kwakhona. Bendimfutshane kuwo omabini amaxesha kunye nemali yoku, ke ngoko ukukhetha ezona zinto zilungele uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali endinokuzifumana sisitshixo sempumelelo. Ukuba bendilinde ukuba ndikwazi ukubuyisela iikhabhathi kunye neekhawuntari ngokupheleleyo, bendiya kuhlala ndihamba phambi kwento efota yonke imihla. Le yeyona ndlela iphakathi yokulungisa eya kuyigcina imema kwaye intle, kwaye ngoku ndinokujongana nerekhodi enkulu kwenye iminyaka eli-10.

Lo mboniso usinika umboniso wezinto ezinemibala zika-Erin, i-echo yemigca eqaqambileyo, evuyayo kunye nobugcisa esibonileyo kumfanekiso ongaphambi komfanekiso-ngoku baphuma ngokuchasene nomva ongasemva wemonochromatic. Kude kube kugqityiwe ukwenzeka kwakhona, u-Erin unokutshintsha kakhulu ukubonakala kwale khitshi ngokongeza nje okanye ngokutshintsha ityali, itawuli yetayi, ubugcisa kunye nezinye izinto ezivakalayo.

Zilungiselele ukuba ufumane enye yeengcebiso zokuphucula amakhaya endakha ndazifunda:

Ithetha ntoni i-444 ngokwasemoyeni

Ukunyanzelisa ukugqibelela yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokungabikho kwanto. Ikhitshi lam aligqibekanga, kodwa lilunge kakhulu! Khetha into ibe nye kwaye ubekele bucala impelaveki ukuze uqalise. Kwiinyanga ezimbini phambi kokuba ndiqalise le projekthi, ndathatha ibrashi yokupeyinta ndaza ndafaka i-X enkulu emhlophe ngaphambili kolunye ucango lwekhabhathi yam, ukuzinyanzela ukuba ndiyilandele. Isebenzile!

Enkosi, Erin!
