Microcementing for the bathroom
I wanted a rough-looking microcement for the bathroom walls and floor. I had already fallen in love with the material during the renovation of a previous apartment, where we did the microcementing ourselves on the empty straight walls of the kitchen. For the bathroom, however, I would recommend a professional, as the bathroom, with its many corners and tiles, is a pretty demanding object.

My dream kitchen shows the spirit of the forest
Yes! A journalist puts my thoughts on the best of the kitchen into words. In the Home Dreams supplement of the Italian newspaper, you can read an interview about the renovation of our kitchen and its atmosphere after a year of use. I talk about how the wooden elements and DIY felt important and I talk about the microcement wall. The interview was conducted in the super-hot late summer, so the editor and photographer had hot spots to get the footage into the can. Quite a fun nuance in this twist on interior design...

Microcement walls on the wall
Now both the bathroom and kitchen microcement walls are finished. The bathroom, with all the angles and pipe spacing, was done by a professional and the blank straight wall surfaces in the kitchen were done by my own hands and my father's hands. The material is mixed from powder and colourant, first one layer of a coarser base material and then two layers of a slightly silkier top coat. The surface is allowed to dry and then sanded. We sanded it by hand...

Microcementing
Making the renovation work for you. If material choices have been made, then today I have been able to call myself a renovator too. The kitchen will be fitted with a micro-cement wall, the base of which has now been shovelled into the walls. The colour is selva, which is Spanish for forest, jungle. The forest idea fits well, as there will be wooden open shelves on the wall and a knotty, wooden shelf for kitchen utensils in the kitchen. More on those later. The micro-cement mortar is mixed with coloured...

Pace stick
This month's apartment events are locked down. In a rhythmic fashion, it goes like this: 1) microcement men in the bathroom, I spy a bit on their work and then do the kitchen wall microcementing myself, 2) bathroom floor tiles arrive, 3) wood floors sanded and waxed/oiled white, 4) kitchen furniture delivered, 4) kitchen installed, 5) wardrobe carpet arrives. So these are already on the calendar, but in addition to these, the apartment will be painted at least at unspecified intervals,...

MY ROOF INSPIRES: with micro-cement
Bathroom design in the air. We plan to make the bathroom walls mainly with microcement. This, a new acquaintance for me, gives a concrete-like appearance but with a smooth feel. So not rough at all, but a nice, smooth surface that slides on your hand. Visually, I think the finish looks sweet as a lick! I went to a microcement showroom to see and feel the finish. There were also colour samples on display, as you can't find them in every hardware store. For the bathroom...
