Remodeling a 25-Year-Old Apartment🌿 Hello! After living in a rented apartment for the first two years of our marriage, we finally got our own home—albeit a 25-year-old one—and proceeded with a full renovation with excitement! However, 25 years is truly a significant amount of time, haha. I poured all my expertise from my previous job as a fashion accessories MD into this project, putting a lot of thought into creating a space that perfectly reflects our lifestyle and style. I wanted to express a semi-vintage style using white and walnut wood as the main colors for the interior :) First of all, as is often the case with old apartments, the narrow and low living room was our first challenge! We proceeded with an extension to make the living room look as spacious as possible! For the walls, we used white painted wallpaper and the thinnest molding available, and for the floor, we used light beige porcelain tiles to create a backdrop that maximizes the sense of openness! The middle door, which is slightly visible, was custom-made by a carpenter in a walnut wood tone. We also utilized frosted glass and wired glass to further enhance the vintage feel! The thrill of watching the carpenter bring your own design—including color, size, and accessories—to life in no time is just... haha. I think that’s probably the most enjoyable part of interior design, haha. Lastly, regarding the sofa, I spent over three months deliberating on a fabric product from IKEA, and I am truly satisfied with it! First off, not only are the design and color great, but I feel the cushioning is just as excellent as that of professional brands! Especially since, as anyone with a pet knows, it holds up well even when Mocha occasionally digs in the ground, so I am very happy with it!! Haha.
