Two and a half years ago my wife and I bought a house in Brussels. It was not in very good shape and 2 floors from 3 were rented out. Half year we collected our money and tried to let our tenants go. And then, the renovation began!
As it sometimes happens in the years like 2009, our plan have changed. We both found jobs in Netherlands and going to sell this house and move there. Pity to leave it, but what you can do!
Here are some pictures of the final result with comments:
Disclaimer: in most cases we haven’t even bought the furniture yet. The rooms are filled with old IKEA-stuff from my old flat and flat of my wife.
Main bedroom with some closets. The floors are original wood from 1929.
Another shot, you can see a desk there.
My workplace. I’m writing this post sitting here. Also original doors and floors.
Bathroom. Floors are from bamboo, roof was replaced and the door cleaned up.
Second bedroom. The only one room in the house with carpet on the floor
Kitchen, all fully equipped with German technology: Miele and Smeg
(furure) living room. We decided not to buy furniture there. In the new house we’ll have to match design again
(future) living room. you can see a half of Hi-Fi station, which could be placed there
A room just after the entrance of the house. You can see the door to the garden.
A little bit of “art-nouveau” style in the entrance of the house
From 4 rooms in the basement we’ve renovated just one – for the washing machines.
And that’s how it looks outside.
Much more pictures on my flikr album!
