From dream to reality
Today the heroes of our story are the spouses,who have lived together for many years. They already have grown-up children and grandchildren. Despite their considerable age, they are young at heart and always optimistic. Their positive attitude was reflected in the interior of this summer house. The couple dreamed about her for a long time, but their work schedule was so tight that the cherished plans had to be constantly postponed. And this employment is understandable: she worked as an economist, and he worked as an engineer. At one point, they just wanted to get away from work, stress, city noise and bustle. When they bought a house in the Moscow region, they realized that they could not do without the help of professionals. They presented a picture of perfect comfort, but they did not know how to transfer their dreams to a real interior. Therefore, we turned to young designers and decorators who helped them decorate their dream cottage. 
More freedom
Since the customers turned out to be very modern,They decided to leave the layout on the ground floor free, which is very fashionable now. Such a space is often found in the homes of young people, but the owners of this house have proven that you can stay young even in retirement. The only "snag" was the placement of the TV zone. Customers wanted to be able to watch TV in both the living area and the kitchen area. But it was not possible to place it in this way, since the owners of the house did not want to clutter up the space with unnecessary furniture and block the view of the fireplace. The problem was solved by using a pivot stand. 
Heat of the family hearth
This family is very fond of tradition.gather all together at a large table. That is why a transforming table was placed in the dining area, at which, if unfolded, 12 people can be accommodated. The fireplace is also a kind of center. Gathering at his place, the owners, together with their children and grandchildren, conduct friendly conversations, share their impressions and look through family photo albums. 
The environment is conducive to a leisurelypastime and rest. This effect was achieved thanks to the light colors, laconic design in the classic style and used in the design of the house. Elena Karpenkova and Ivan Ureka, decorators: - The color scheme that we decided to use is as light as possible. The chandelier for the living room was already presented by the children at the time of the arrangement of this room, so it set the tone for the further decor of the room. In the rest, both we and our customers wanted to see more light, since in Moscow there is often not enough light. Therefore, the interiors of other rooms also contain clean and light shades. 
Place for a hobby
When children are at work, and grandchildren at school, our heroesreturn to their usual affairs, which give them a lot of fun. The landlady devotes much time to the garden and the garden. She likes to grow vegetables for summer salad and flowers, which are always pleasing with her beauty and aroma. 
And another hobby of the hostess is the creation of culinarymasterpieces. She constantly experiments and pleases her husband with delicious dishes. It was for this purpose that a large and spacious kitchen was created, where it is always light and comfortable. 
The owner likes to make all kinds ofadaptations for home and garden. Another of his passion is a car, he keeps it in perfect order. And of course, one of his mandatory wishes was a separate bathhouse, which was built on a local site.
