This is my second own apartment in Moscow. First, Svetlana divorced her first husband (with Alexey Glazatov, the father of her daughter Sasha, in 2012. - Note. “Antennas”) on Ryabinovaya Street, not far from my parents' house. Mom could even see out the window: whether the lights are on or on. Therefore, we bought the next apartment eight years ago, in Kurkino, on the street with the pretty name Lily of the Valley. We were looking for larger housing: we were waiting for an addition to the family and wanted the child to grow up in a good area and he had his own room. We went to different places, argued about the infrastructure, decided that it was better to take it - closer to the center, but smaller or farther away, but bigger. Financial opportunities are certain, you can't jump over your head.

But when we arrived in Kurkino, we simply fell in love with this area. There is in our residential complex something patriarchal and humane, but at the same time newfangled. In our courtyard, you can even go out in slippers. We got the apartment in the form of a concrete box with a pillar in the middle. Plan what you want. At first I thought that the repair would not affect me, and only downloaded pictures of the future interior. But then I quickly connected to the process, because we were not lucky with the designers. Their ideas were strange. So they quite seriously suggested making a waterfall in the middle of the room in order to divide the area into zones. For some, such innovations may be good, but not for us, and they were rejected. We divided the same room into zones, but otherwise. And they set the doors, we were offered not to do this, or for the bedroom and the toilet to provide for one mobile one. For me, this is wild.

The construction team refused to work according to their drawings, explaining that it would be impossible to live in such an apartment. Sasha was already born, and I went to the shops and markets in search of building materials. Now I know all about the types of putties, floor coverings and how to lay them, I understand paint and insulation. I changed the bath because the designer bought did not fit. I called the companies where we ordered something, wept and asked to change. Fortunately, we were met. Now I often consult friends making repairs and warn you to pay attention. These are the rounded walls, like ours, I would not advise anyone to do. Terribly uncomfortable. You will not move any furniture.

Of course, in the end, layout and style are lame somewhere, but this is my first experience, and it turned out to be somewhat spontaneous. But, despite the fact that the repair was hard and took away a lot of nerves, I love it and I love my apartment. I can not even imagine that I will live in another. I get used to it very quickly. And while I do not want to change anything. And yes, then our parrots cling to the wallpaper, the dog scratches the walls, and although I’m upset, I understand: this is life and you just need to ignore such things. Although Dima (the current civilian husband of a TV presenter. - Note. "Antenna") says that it is easier to move to another housing than to remake something in it.
Photo: Sergey Dzhevakhashvili... But Sasha has big changes this year. For two years she went to school at the Belorusskaya metro station, one of the oldest in Moscow with inclusive classes (Svetlana’s 8-year-old daughter is autistic. - Approximately. We were entertained by solving math examples while on the road, but Sanya often fell asleep under them. This year, Olga Yaroslavskaya, director of school number 1298, which is not far from us, on her own initiative, decided to open a resource class for children with special needs. Sasha will go to study there. Although she, of course, more want to relax on the sea and play on the tablet. Learning it, too, must be forced, like most children. Nevertheless, her schedule is quite tight: gymnastics, singing, swimming, classes with defectologists, we are still going to an artistic circle, because she draws well and sings. Now she has more time for classes, ten minutes to school by car. We are very excited, but I hope she will be comfortable in the new class. Sasha we have a person who is fond of. In early childhood she had smeshariki, then a pony, now a lego. When she realized that it was possible to collect incredible things according to schemes, she was ready to do this for hours. We bought all the kits available in our stores, this designer gives us friends, we order series from America and Singapore that are not sold in Russia, we store them all and are not ready to part with any one. Sasha has a good ear for music, unlike me she sings beautifully. When I realized that she needed to make music, they bought a synthesizer. She played it for a year. And then Dima unexpectedly became interested in music, the composer Ludovico Einaudi made an indelible impression on him. When our dad realized the difference in the sound of the synthesizer and the piano, he got an idea to learn how to play. We decided to invest in an electronic piano. It is convenient with him, you can even sit behind him at night - the neighbors do not interfere, the sound in the headphones. Dima found scores on the Internet, where not only the notes, but also the location of the hands are shown. Now looking at them and trying to play. As a child, I spent four years studying music at the piano and five years at the guitar, but I was kicked out of the piano class for lack of talent. Now here I sit with Sasha, I try, maybe someday I will learn.

The kitchen is cleverly arranged, a storage room is hidden behind one of the doors. Anything can be hidden there, from a bag of potatoes to a washing machine, even the laundry is dried there. We used to have a couple of lovebirds parrots. They often fought and bred without stopping. Constantly it was necessary to attach chicks. Once we left the birds to their parents, and they flew away. Now we have two cockatiel parrots. They are almost tame, very emotional, psychologically subtle, they can get bored, frightened, they need to fly around the apartment, otherwise they start to languish. Their name is Jean and Marie, although I call them just chicken. So I ask: "Did they give any food to the smokers today?"

Spread out like an asterisk or lie down across, next to our dad prikornet, and in the legs the dog will settle. For one more person space is extremely small. You will lie down, suffer, and someone first goes either to Sasha's bed or to the couch to sleep.
Photo: Sergey DzhevakhashviliWe thought for a long time whether we should have a dog. Sanya is very useful communication, but our dad's allergic to dog fur, although not all. Therefore, we chose the breed for a long time, and gave the wool for analysis, and first came to look at the puppies in the nursery. Sasha, seeing one of the puppies, rushed to him with a cry: “My dog!” - and immediately fell into the autumn puddle. A month later, we returned for a puppy, spitting on an allergy, because it is impossible to live without a dog. According to her passport, her name is Istra Joy, but we call her simply Riea.
Photo: Sergey DzhevakhashviliThese paintings were given to me on the show “The Voice.Children" talented girl Katya with cerebral palsy. She came there as a guest with her parents. Now the paintings are waiting for us to drill holes for them and finally hang them. It is difficult to persuade our dad to hammer a nail into the wall, but otherwise he is just a handsome man. The ability to drill is not the most important thing in a man. Dima, of course, can do it, but he is lazy, and you need to find the right words or squeeze him into the corner with your knee, but I understand that he gets tired, and drilling is not the most interesting thing he can do on a day off. But he is our captain (although Dmitry is a marketer by main profession. - Ed. Woman's Day) and has already gone out to sea with friends under sail more than once.
