Every weekend, my favorite place to go is my grandpa's house. His 120-square-meter duplex old house was renovated for 100,000 yuan last year, and it has become popular in the whole old community! Because all the furniture in the house was made of fresh wood furniture, and the staircase walls were simply painted during the renovation, it has a retro charm, which is different from the commercial houses outside!



The wooden shutter door becomes the entrance to the entire house. Opening the door is like entering a forest outside, and the furniture is almost entirely made of wood.

Compared with many glass sliding doors and solid wood door panels, this kind of door has better ventilation and decorative effect in my opinion. Nowadays, the materials of PVC, aluminum alloy and other blinds are more durable and classic, and they will never go out of style.



The wooden floor that my grandfather's house keeps is not a composite floor or a processed floor, but is directly nailed to the ground with a few round nails. I think the material must be some good wooden boards. It has been used for more than ten years and now it has become a brand new floor after a few drops of paint and oil.





Handmade DIY has been my grandfather's hobby for decades. After renovating his new home, he put up a row of shelves to store handicrafts. Each piece of wood in his hands has become either practical furniture or exquisite ornaments. They look and feel different from those bought outside.



The renovated kitchen has a detail in both the wall cabinets and the cupboards, one that I think is worth improving and the other well considered.

What needs improvement is that the wall cabinets do not reach the ceiling, and there are still a few centimeters left, which makes it difficult to clean up the dust on a daily basis. The overall feeling is a little worse than that of the wall cabinets that reach the ceiling!



A small detail worth mentioning is that the drawer panel in the cabinet below has some small holes, which can provide ventilation and moisture-proof for the items stored inside. In addition, the cabinet has been repainted, which matches the small tiles re-paved on the wall, and unexpectedly has a fresh tone.



The bedroom has changed its previous white walls to the currently popular two-tone wall design, with wooden lines used as dividing lines in the middle. In this way, even if it is the same two-tone wall, multiple wooden lines make it unique.



The two small areas of the bedroom and study are all paved with herringbone wooden floors, matched with overall wooden furniture, there is no sense of incongruity, and the layering and decorativeness are very strong!



Handmade bookshelves do not need to be painted, and they are durable and beautiful. Filled with books and ornaments, they are dazzling and very suitable for the atmosphere of a study room. Here I would like to give you a small suggestion that you can build a study room in a small corner of your home, which not only reflects the owner's taste, but is also very practical.
