before*after: kitchen & dining area / prije*posle: kuhinja i trpezarija

It's been a while since I promised before and after photos of my childhood home, and now it's the time to show you photos of kitchen/dining area. Changes are always welcome, especially in case when nothing has been changed for decades. I wish I could keep the old wooden furniture, but it wasn't an option as I live in a small apartment. All I can is to keep visualising how the table and chairs would look in crisp white, and commode in bright pink or some other intense colour.

{Mada sam poodavno obećala fotkice moje kuće iz djetinjstva, tek sada su došle na red. I to slikice kuhinje i trpezarijskog dijela. Možete i da uporedite kako je bilo nekad, a kako je sad. Promjene su uvijek dobrodošle, posebno u slučaju kada ništa nije mijenjano decenijama, pa vremenom gubi sjaj i draž. Voljela bih da sam mogla zadržati stari namještaj od drveta i preurediti ga po želji, ali to prosto nije bilo moguće jer živim u malom stanu. A zamišljam sto i stolice lakirane u bijelo a vitrinu i dugačku komodu vjerovatno u neku intenzivnu boju. Roze? uh, to bi izgledalo fantastično!}

Available space is used much better now when some walls are demolished and definitely looks bigger and airy. Colour palette is soothing and combination of "warm" and "cool" tones creates the pleasant atmosphere all year long. Walls in dining area are light grey while the kitchen walls are painted in subtle green shade.

{Raspoloživi prostor je sada mnogo bolje iskorišćen uklanjanjem pregradnih zidova, te ujedno izgleda i jeste prostranije. Prirodna paleta boja uz kombinovanje "toplih" i "hladnih" tonova stvara prijatan ambijent tokom cijele godine. Zidovi trpezarije su obojeni svijetlo sivo, dok je u kuhinji nježna zelena.}
