Compleate sitting room remodeling

Plus 12 more

I was tired of our old sitting room — the outdated wallpaper, the unused fireplace, and the general worn-out look — so one evening, I decided to completely transform it. I stripped all the wallpaper, plastered the walls, and painted them. After that, I removed the original fireplace, blocked off the chimney, and installed an electric fireplace.

During the renovation, I also decided to add a shelf, followed by installing wall cladding and incorporating lighting features to create a more modern and cozy atmosphere. This project ended up taking just over a month to complete. I also laid new laminate flooring and fitted a new ceiling light, giving the room a full makeover.

The total cost for all the materials was around €3,000. I did all the work myself — including plastering, wiring, carpentry, and plasterboarding — despite having no previous experience in any of these areas. I taught myself everything through YouTube videos.

At times, it was daunting, but with patience, a few videos, plenty of spare time, and confidence, I managed to see it through. This project proved that with determination and a willingness to learn, anything is possible.
