«When my dad said he wanted to buy this apartment, I tried to talk him out of it.
— It’s an old and depressing place, — I said, disappointed.
I could never have imagined that one day this very place would become my favorite corner of the world… 🏡💭»
“Dad, seriously? This place? I can’t invite any of my friends here!” I said, trying to hide my disappointment.
He smiled calmly and said, “Give me two months. Just trust me, okay?”
Reluctantly, I agreed. But deep down, I had already imagined myself avoiding all social gatherings at home forever.
Then the transformation began.Dad worked tirelessly. He called in a few skilled workers, and together they stripped everything down. The bathroom was the first priority.
They replaced the old tub with a clean, modern one, tiled the walls with soft beige ceramic, and installed a deep blue vanity with a sleek mirror cabinet. Just walking in now feels like stepping into a fancy hotel.
Next came the kitchen. I remember walking in one day and gasping. The dull, empty space had turned into a bright, elegant corner. White cabinets with a glossy finish, a marble-style backsplash, and subtle decorative touches made it feel like a magazine photo.
Every detail was perfect – from the matte black faucet to the delicate vase placed near a painting of two chairs and a tree.
It took exactly two months. The same apartment I once hated became the one I proudly show to anyone who visits.
Now, every morning, I sit in our beautiful kitchen, sipping my tea while watching my dad prepare breakfast. I smile and whisper to myself, “Thank you, Dad.”
And you – do you like our new home?
