A simple 16㎡ one-bedroom apartment was bought in Beijing for 12,000 yuan

     Simple yet warm, this is the "home" I want~~~~

       Although it is only a 16 square meter apartment, we both still planned and designed it carefully. After all, the feeling of "home" in the hearts of those of us who have moved to Beijing is not only a place to shelter from the wind and keep warm when it is cold, and a bed to lie down when we are tired, but also a place that can tolerate us when we are lonely, and comfort us when we are sad...

       Seeing that many friends on Taobao are happily showing their "home" works, there are so many beautiful pictures and so many warm posts, so I also represent the Beijing drifting people and show you our "simple" life, and hope you will laugh at me. . .

First, a hand-drawn floor plan and a naked room photo

 

[House Type]: Living room and bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom
Area: 16 square meters
【Style】: Our simplicity = simplicity
【Design】: I planned and supervised, LG executed
[Budget]: 1,000 yuan (started on March 25, 2010 - completed in 1 week)

 

I was not prepared when I was looking at the house, so I could only roughly record the original appearance with my mobile phone.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

        [Description of pre-selected decorative materials: After viewing the house, we decided to use wallpaper as the main decoration. Reason 1: Good quality and low price are the first. After comparing the prices of various decorative materials online, the wallpaper solution finally stood out; Reason 2: Convenient, simple, and free to play]

 

Curtains and Decals~ (Because of the tediousness of moving and decorating, I didn’t have the opportunity to borrow a camera, so this step was taken with a mobile phone)

When we first moved in, the house was in a mess, with luggage, boxes of all sizes, and nowhere to put our feet. But we had to finish the first step of decoration before we could move on to the next step of cleaning up...

 

Oh~~ The curtain is hung up, and the first flower is also on the wall...

 

After more than 30 minutes, the initial design of the door was completed.. . . At this moment, I already feel very happy. . .

       [Pre-selected furniture instructions: Although we don’t have a lot of money, we also have a desire to pursue fashion. The simple IKEA style is what I admire, so the work of selecting furniture online began. . . ]

An open wardrobeA bridge-style desk

 

        The furniture delivery process took a while, which was the biggest reason for the delay in our renovation progress. . .

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 Everything is ready... The show begins...

 

        corridor,The one with the "cotton door curtain" is my house... (The door curtain is from TB, genuine Disney, the price is no more than 10 yuan)

 

        Another close-up of the door curtain fluttering in the wind. . .

 

 

        Open the door and take in the scene...

Here’s another horizontal version of the same scene…

 

 

The story behind the door~~~

 

 

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps to the window, looking back and smiling~~

 

 

 

 

The most favorite TV wall~~Simple~~Unique~~Never give up~~I love you Never give up~~         

           

 

 

 

 

A Hisense TV bought in a second-hand market for 150 yuan...

 

 

A three-drawer cabinet bought at a second-hand market for 20 yuan... The volume is super large!

 

 

Pay attention to the little DD on TV~~~ (TB collection, much cheaper than wedding companies)

    

 

 

 

There is another scene on the other side of the TV~Represents eternal youth~

 

 

 

Special introduction~~Open wardrobe~The so-called cabinet curtain is planned and installed by me, which is actually a waterproof tablecloth (purchased from TB, very cheap and good quality)~curtain ring track (not available from TB) + curtain processing labor fee + hook = 100 yuan (I think the most unprofitable expense in the whole house)）

     

 

The legendary track and cabinet curtain. Haha. By the way, the 5-yuan purple tablecloth on the top of the display cabinet. Haha. I caught up with the bargain~~~

 

 

 

Next is the bridge-style desk~ I have decorated it with many decorations~

     

                   

                                   

 

 

 

The bed was provided by the landlord. It was a pure wooden bed. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to lie on, the corner of the bed added a bit of comfort~~

 Now is the time for a break ~ independent research and development ~ endless joy in life . . .

 

A very ordinary folding tableAfter a simple decoration, it is transformed

Put on four lace foot covers and a gold-stamped table mat (TB sampled less than 8 meters)

 

Is the table dull in color? Not anti-slip? A table mat can solve all problems!

 

 

A street stall watch met a Mickey Mouse hairpin, and their combination is perfect~

 

 

What should I do if I can't nail the door and hang clothes?Hang it directly on the door, 12 stainless steel hooks of different sizes, very practical, 20 meters, highly recommended ~ hang clothes easily without a single nail or hammer!

 

 

 

 Let’s get back to the point. . . Continue the introduction journey~~~

 

The only way to the kitchen/bathroom~~~

 

 

Looking at the kitchen and bathroom from the bedroom ~ This place is so beautiful ~ Occasionally, I use my skills to make my husband's stomach buckle ~ Hahaha

      

 

 

Main appliance~grand debut... Ding ding ding ding~~~~

     (TB) 4.5 kg ~ Special price 335 meters. . .

 

 

 

A corner of the kitchen... 

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, teaA collection rack for pots, bowls, ladles and basins~~~

 

 

~~The bathroom is on the right side of the kitchen~~We also use copper core electric heating ~ haha

 

The water-saving tool "basin" is indispensable, the more the better~~Haha~~

 

After a tiring day, taking a hot bath is a step that cannot be neglected.

 

 

 

 

 ~~The kitchen is on the left side of the bathroom~~A panoramic photo of the kitchen from the bathroom

 

 ~Flashback~Looking into the house from the kitchen through the glass~~  Haha~~ There's someone in the window~~ Take up some space in the camera too~

 

 

 

~~~ I'll show you another hazy beauty~~~ Look at the power of the curtains in my house~~~

       Finished!!! It took me 4 hours and 3 minutes to edit this post, from the 13th to the early morning of the 14th - I still have an American attitude in my heart! Thank you Taobao friends for your support, and thank Taobao for creating such a platform for us. . .

    Finally [I want to take this opportunity to go off topic and thank my silly husband who is like an old workhorse (words that cannot be expressed in real life): "Thank you for your patience; thank you for your sincerity; thank you for your love; thank you for all your efforts; thank you for the light you bring; thank you for making me feel comfortable!" - End of the digression] Scatter flowers to celebrate. . .
