It turned out that the effect is large, this house does not seem so old anymore, "said Yoris who confessed immediately fell in love with the house since it first entered it.
The next step to stay organize the interior. With the limited size of the house, Yoris deliberate use of the concept of functional minimalism in the house to give an impression of space. At the very next set of tables and chairs do not look like a house guest in general. Instead, he just put two round glass table to put the ornaments with a giant rubber ball in the middle.
