    My suggestion: give the boys the bigger room at the back, with an option to divide it in the future if needed. Put a partition wall or sliding door where youre thinking of putting the boys’ bunk beds, and use that as your cozy sleeping place. Use the middle room as a living room. That way, everyone has privacy, it’s easy to hide away clutter from guests by closing the boys’ door and your sleeping area, and you have a wonderful living room where everyone can hang out together.

      she really need to get a few dividers / view blockers. There are so many options, a few plants, a big cabinet, a movable wall, etc. Take the first room and put there something between that big space and the main entrance door.

    As a kid growing up in a walk-through room, I always felt sort of like a visitor, never had my own space or privacy, any down time was always disturbed which caused anxiety down the line. Some will laugh it off as exaggeration but it’s a fact. The wall should have been moved not taken down. It would have been fine to make it a little hallway with closet space and the boys would still have a bright room 🤷‍♀️

      Our room was walk through also, and I felt the same. But our dad built us a private room when we turned 11. He says Kids that Age Need privacy. He built my sisters each a room in the old barn next to the house. I Just moved myself to a room in another Building of the property as a teenager. The living house itself was and is really small, but the barn was bigger, even if in bad condition.

      or at least put a wall in that big first boys' room. It would be similar to the one that was there, just better built, with glass so light can come in and at a position she likes. a wall with like frosted glass that you can't see through, which you often see in bathrooms. You can simply cover normal glass with a film. Then everyone would have privacy.

      I was thinking that too, but it might not make sense if she's planning on making content creating her full time job, cause if she's going to be filming and needs quiet, uninterrupted time the kids will have to pass through that room to be able to go to the kitchen or bathroom, same for if she's planning on being in a relationship at some point, it just wouldn't make sense for the kids to have to pass through that room every time they need something. I don't know why she removed the wall, it didn't look good but she could have re-made it, and fixed the layout of the apartment a bit, since its already pretty much being re-built.

    • @bta8355
      @bta8355 2 місяці тому +3

      yee, she really should not have destroyed that wall in that huge room. It could have been a nice entrance and you could have inserted a better wall with windows that are not see-through and let light in. It would have solved so many issues, that apartment is just not big enough now. Bad enough that those boys need to share a room.

    Definitely bunk beds in that nook! That will create more of a sitting living space for all of you in the bigger area. You will figure out the wardrobe once you get it all moved in! You can utilize the wall space for shelves or use a wardrobe in against one of the walls and a TV on top as an entertainment stand! Can't wait to see when it's all done! What a wonderful new space it will be for the 3 of you!!!!!!

    I would put the bunk beds in the enclosed space, you could also use a curtain there to give them privacy. For wardrobe, use dressers for their clothing. Or you could use the closet by the door for their clothing as well. If you use dressers, you could place their TV above and use the tops for decor. Or get a nice wardrobe that's enclosed and put them each on the side of the window. Then a couch and TV across.

  • @Familylawgroup
    @Familylawgroup 2 місяці тому +1

    On the front area where you are questioning whether to place a door … you might want to consider a tension curtain rod with decorative curtains that you can close off when it is cluttered and tie back to the sides when the space is showing nicer items. You could put bookshelves starting half way up to the ceiling and that would leave space underneath for vacuum cleaner. If you choose that, you could put a tension rod right above the storage part and have the shelves holding pretty things.

    Although I love the idea of the bunk beds in the far corner and leaving the room for recreation, honestly you're all going to need good wardrobe space to keep from driving each other crazy with your stuff.
    Also, there is a lot to be said for waking up in the sun, at least for me -- it makes all the difference in my mood and attitude in the morning. Especially if it's cold.
    Don't forget about yourself after your boys are grown (too soon!). You'll want to stretch out and enjoy a living room even if you don't entertain. So excited for you Nastya! Such a beautiful place to live.

    You should put the bunk beds in that alcove and then you could have a curtain that could pulled across the beds so they can have some privacy. You should also put the boys' wardrobe in your room on the bigger wall to the side of your door, since you have such a spacious room, it could easily fit!

    Another solution give the boys your room . Build a new partition wall in the middle room nearer to the window ( use this as your bedroom ) to fit a small double bed and drawers . Comfortable chair. Choose a doors with full frosted glass to pull light through to that hall area See can you fit a table bench with a back chairs for family gathering Leave no door on kitchen as window is visible and will give impression of light in the new hall/ dining/sitting space . The bench with back “ upholstered would be nice” can sit into that alcove the table and a couple of chairs can push under table . Small tv can go on or in front of the new partition wall of your bedroom . Cleaver lighting will make the difference ask that good electrician advice about strip lighting . It’s hard to guess your space . I do think the boys will need privacy especially as they get older . Save you having to redo in future . You can always have curtain in front of bedroom glass doors to block internal light when sleeping . During the day leave open .. best of luck 😊

    I would have done something different for the space/room you had in mind for the boys. I had done the living room there. Because otherwise you or the people who come to visit will always go through the room of the boys. For example, if they have to do homework from school because they will always be disturbed by you having to walk through the bedroom. Otherwise there is no privacy for you or the boys. And eventually they will grow bigger and want privacy, which is completely normal.

Especially boric acid I think will help control the roaches after it is all closed up again. 2) please put the old Soviet radio back. 🙂

    Regarding your son’s bedroom the second option might be the best. Do you have IKEA in Russia? They have fantastic ideas on multi use spaces. A divider of some sort like a cube bookcase might be a great idea as this will give your older son his own space. He will really need this as they get older. Good luck and hope you can move in soon 🌼

    It's going to be very nice! One suggestion, I do not recommend TV in a kids roomb because they will seclude themselves in the room for TV and you will have less family time together.

    I'm so excited for you to move into your new apartment, Nastya! But I have to admit, I will miss seeing your grandma's kitchen: I have gotten used to seeing it - it's so nice & cozy, I really do love it.

    If you use grey or black grout with the white tiles it’s easier to maintain 😊

    Hello! I recently discovered your channel! I really like your videos! I also like your introverted style and your sensitivity! Congratulations for the courage to return to your country! I have been living abroad for 23 years and I have not yet had your courage. I really like the way you see life. I wanted to ask you if you could share your vision on relationships /couples especially in this world where everything is more and more superficial. Take care!!

    My suggestion put the boys bed near the heat source and use the smaller space for wardrobe .. ❤

    I am excited to see how the renovation works out. I hope you and the boys enjoy it. Personally, I would give your teenage son his own space but you can always alter things if required. Good luck.🌷

      Why? Why the teenage boy is so special? He should not be spoiled.

    You asked for ideas for the bedroom for your boys. Think outside the box, raise both beds up at least 3 feet. The space under the beds is the wardrobe. If hanging areas or shelving is needed put it on the end of the beds, like a foot board with the doors on the outside. That should give each boy a tall storage unit and still have room for a desk or table for homework, and not block any of the natural light. Also saves a lot of space too. Good luck, you are doing a fantastic thing with your vlog channel. I have enjoyed seeing Russia from your perspective.

    Are there any animal rescue centres or assistance there for street dogs? Can you take some food to the dog regularly?

    • @k1ssulja
      @k1ssulja 2 місяці тому

      There are shelters for stray cats and dogs, although there are very few stray cats, they do not live long on the street, either a car will hit them or dogs will chew them up. And stray dogs often gather in packs and then they become a real threat to people, not infrequently attacking people, including children, with fatal outcome or severe injuries. The attitude towards stray dogs is wary or even bad

    Ohhh I’ve been excited for this update!! I just know your new place will look great! I voted for the bathroom sink, now I’m so curious to know which one you decided to choose! Vintage style will look good, so I’m sure whichever one you’ve chosen will be fantastic. ❤ Can’t wait to see everything again when it’s all complete. 😊
    With the boys room, my idea would be to use the back wall for the wardrobe. Then, bunk beds on one wall and desks on the other side. Or you could put two loft beds (bed up high with desk space underneath) opposite each other, one on each wall. Then maybe a small couch or reading chair under the window.
