Terasa mea – loc de sarbatoare

Terasa mea – loc de sarbatoare

Hristos a Inviat! Sper ca ati petrecut frumos de Paste si ca mai pastrati inca in voi emotia acestei sarbatori. Pentru ca anul acesta am invitat familia si prietenii apropiati pe terasa casei noastre pentru a sarbatori impreuna, am zis ca e momentul sa va arat cum arata renovata, cu florile plantate, cu pergola ridicata la locul potrivit si cu o canapea inedita ce te indeamna la citit sau lenevit.

EN: Happy Easter! I hope you had wonderful holidays and that you are still experiencing the emotion of these past days. Because this year we have invited family and close friends on our terrace to celebrate together, I thought it’s a good time to show you what it looks like renovated, with planted flowers, with the pergola in the right spot and an unique couch which invites you to read or relax.

Sambata spre duminica noapte se cheama ca am “inaugurat” terasa, sarbatorind Pastele alaturi de familie si prieteni, care au tras repede concluzia ca multe petreceri si seri de vara va gazdui acest spatiu drag al casei noastre: “Aveti, n-aveti chef, noi vara asta pe aici o sa stam!” asa ne-au amenintat toti si tare mult m-am bucurat, caci iubesc sa fie casa plina de prieteni.

V-am promis acum cateva saptamani ca o sa va arat terasa, dar dupa ce plantez florile in jardiniere (eu, cu mana mea!) si dupa ce municitorii ridica pergola (care va fi sper eu in cativa ani acoperita de plante si flori) si monteaza cada pe post de canapea. Si uite ca m-am tinut de cuvant. Cada este chiar vechea cada a casei, pe care am reconditionat-o si apoi am decupat-o in aceasta forma, cat sa devina o canapea perfecta pentru terasa. Ca sa fie comoda, o umplu cu perne (chiar mai multe decat sunt in imagini acum) si de acolo admir trandafirii proaspat infloriti. Jardinierele le-am primit cadou de la prietena mea Alina Chivulescu. Am plantat in ele o multime de flori deja, carora se pare ca le merge foarte bine. Ba chiar am plantat si niste bulbi (mai multe tipuri flori), din care acum cateva zile au iesit la suprafata cateva frunzulite. Asa de tare m-am bucurat!

Cu ocazia acestei postari multumesc si echipei cu care am lucrat, si care timp de 3 ani cat a durat renovarea casei a devenit cu adevarat “de-a casei”: inginer constructor Mihai Glavan ([email protected]) si arhitect Ionut Martin ([email protected]). V-am lasat si adresele lor de contact, pentru ca tin minte de la postarea cu mansarda ca mai multi dintre voi cauta acum o echipa buna, iar eu ii recomand cu toata increderea pe acesti oameni, care ne-au inteles perfect dorintele si care au lucrat deosebit de atent.

Sper ca terasa sa fie pe gustul vostru, la fel de mult ca si spatiul din interior al mansardei.

Paste Fericit, prieteni buni!

EN: Saturday night we have “inaugurated” the terrace, by celebrating Easter with family and friends, who have quickly come to the conclusion that this dear space in our house will host many parties and summer evenings: “Whether you’ll feel like it or not, this summer we’ll hang out here!” that’s how they all threatened us and it made me really happy, because I love having the house full of friends.

I have promised you a few weeks ago that I’ll show you the terrace, but only after I plant the flowers in the flower pots (me, myself, with my own hand!) and after the workers will put up the pergola (which I hope will be covered in plants and flowers in a few years) and set up the bath tub as a sofa. And I have kept my word. The bath tub is the actual  old one from the house, which we have refurbished and cut in this shape, so that it’s a perfect couch for the terrace. To make it comfortable, I fill it with pillows (even more than in the pictures above) and I can look at the freshly bloomed roses from there. I got the flower pots as a gift from my friend Alina Chivulescu. I have already planted many flowers in them, which seem to be doing just fine. I even planted some bulbs (many types of flowers), and a couple of days ago, a few little leaves have already shown up. I was so happy!

With this post I would also like to thank the team we have worked with, and who have become members of the family in the 3 years it took to renovate our house: Construction Engineer Mihai Glavan ([email protected]) and Architect Ionut Martin ([email protected]).  I have also given you their email addresses, because I remember from my post about the attic that a lot of you are looking for a good team, and I highly recommend these people, who have understood our wishes perfectly and have worked with extreme attention to details.

I hope that you like the terrace as much as the interior space from the attic.

Happy Easter, good friends!
