- Evelina and Nikita completely renovated their 32.4-square-metre flat in Vilnius after years of rental use and severe deterioration.
- The renovation cost €35,000 and included outdated utilities, heavily smoke-stained rooms and a balcony occupied by pigeons.
A 32.4-square-metre flat in Vilnius needed far more than a cosmetic makeover after years of being rented out. The rooms were heavily smoke-stained, the engineering systems had become outdated and pigeons had taken over the unglazed balcony.
Evelina and her husband, Nikita, decided to undertake a complete renovation and adapt the small home for themselves. The work cost €35,000.
The couple now acknowledge that they would make several decisions differently if they were planning the renovation again.
