One day when the warm sunshine fades, giving a feeling of spring coming.

In a corner of Chiba Prefecture, where the rich nature and residential area were seamlessly connected, there was a house of Kirara and Kenken -san.

When the intercom sounded, the two came to the entrance together.

If you move your gaze with a soft smile, you will have an open room where warm light is reached every corner.

In this room, which has been renovated a 23 -year -old house, we have been asking two people who live too hard and do not work too hard.

Favorite place

In the renovation, the two of them wanted to introduce them.The space that connects the entrance and the living room is a special place that is indispensable for daily life.

"On holidays, I spend time eating breakfast here, drinking tea and coffee. I feel that the casual things that I can do in the living room can be a different experience just by changing the place.")

A fence that DIY dialed to welcome Eiang, who was a protected cat.

The dirt, which is a gradation inside and inside, is a relaxing space for Mr. E (cat) living together, and it is also a space where you can enjoy each other's hobbies.

"I have been doing DIY since I lived in this house. I also make large items such as shelves and fences, so it is useful as a workplace."

Kenken, who is fishing as a hobby, happily told me, "I can help preparing a fishing rod that was difficult to rent, so it can be smoothly saved in a large area."

Until now, the dirt is being used flexibly, but at the design stage, he was trying to play a role as a place to do specific things.

It was Kenken's casual word that changed such consciousness.

"At one point, he said," The dirt is the margin in life. ", I feel like I can use it. "(Kirara -san)

The kitchen where the bright green tiles are eye -catching are the space that Tokorara -san is particular about "so that you can always enjoy it because you have a long time here."

"I had a longing for overseas kitchens, so I took time to find the parts that fit the image.

It was decided to make the whole a green tile, and I was wondering about the ventilation fan that would not need to be cleaned for about 10 years, but I chose this type here to focus on design. "(Kirara -san)

The kitchen facing a large window contains beautiful light according to the tilt of the sun.

"Like the living room, the kitchen is also sunny, especially in the winter, the light that comes in in the afternoon is beautiful, and it's a favorite point."

There are various large and small dishes in the shirt case -like food shelf.The ingenuity to make the kitchen a fun place was hidden here.

"I like tableware, and there are many Hasamiyaki in Nagasaki. The dishes are replaced according to my mood, and at that time I always have something I like.

It is important to use good things for a long time, but I myself often use a recent shop because it is a character that tends to change. "

It changed from the kitchen, and the washroom was organized in a Japanese atmosphere.It is said that the two good old washrooms had a common image as a functional and calm space.

"I chose a nostalgic and universal thing like light and mirrors in a public bath. I feel that the installation of the basket has become more atmosphere and a calm space."

The simple faucet has been found at a home improvement store that suits the image.

"Because there are good old items that have been used for a long time, I often go to home improvement stores. I try to incorporate items that are familiar with a calm life using stylish designs."Kirara)

It was surprisingly the stairs that Kenken gave me as a favorite place.

"The renovation is up to the stairs, but this is also a favorite place. The light entering the window reflects on the white wallpaper, making it even brighter.I'm glad I was particular about it because I could be it. "(Kenken -san)

Reasons for deciding on this house

Until he started living here, they lived in a city along the same line as the nearest station.

"When I was looking for a house, I first narrowed down the conditions on a budget and location. I got a good access by train and I was familiar with the land, so this area was immediately a candidate."

"After about 4 cases, the end of the decisive factor was the sunshine and openness. The fact that there are many windows in the south and many windows, so I like it since I found it.It's a point "(Kenken)

Unfortunate

It was a window that was a decisive factor in searching for a house, but some people were worried while living.

"I noticed that there were so many windows and the inside of the house was bright, but I noticed that there were few places that could be used as a wall. In the previous room, I had a photo frame on the wall, but here.It is difficult to find a place to decorate. It is difficult to see that there are many windows or if there are few walls. "

Favorite item

Here is the first British vintage nest table that I showed first as my favorite item.This is a gem made more than 100 years ago, with a glossy and beautiful luster.

"Designs and history, of course, are really easy to use. You can put them next to the sofa and use it as a side table or use it as a table in the earth. It is cute even if you put a vase.

Because it overlaps perfectly, it is also functional not to take space during storage.I also like the cat legs that are connected when stored personally "(Mr. Kirara)

All dishes purchased in pottery cities and recycle shops are all favorite.Among them, I especially like this dish, which Kenken calls it a "distorted dish".

"I like this dish. I found it in a pottery market outlet and I felt it was about 500 yen for two pieces. I feel the taste of this incomplete unevenness."Mr. Miss)

There are many inquiries on Instagram about where this light decorated in the living room can be purchased.

"In fact, I can't find a dealer in Japan now. When I saw it at the store I was handling before, I fell in love at first sight and wanted it, so I used Google Translate to France.I ordered it.

I like it because it will brighten the atmosphere not only as a light but also as an interior. "(Kirara -san)

Living ideas

What I felt while listening to the story was that there are some favorite items in the details of the room.It seems that they are also careful.

"I'm conscious of collecting what I like. It's a place to come back every day, so I always have something I like at that time."

"One of the things that we are aware of to be able to enjoy it without working too hard.

The same items to use and how to live are the same, so we try to incorporate things that we can continue without stretching. "

"If you set the standards high, you will inevitably get tired. On the other hand, if you have the height of your body, you can achieve even small things! I think you can live comfortably."Kenken)

"Don't overdo it. Let's do it. It's like the password," he said, was so life -sized and very attractive.

Living in the future

The equipment that Kenken has collected as a hobby since he was in the house.

They say, "I have a lot of things I want to do."

"Unlike the first floor, the second floor is still untouched. I want to apply other walls as soon as I paint only one side of the wall in the hobby room packed with what I like.There are so many ideas, such as laying a seat or removing the door, so I want to spend a lot of ideas.

"I feel like I have increased what I want to do since I started living in this house. I want to do it little by little while enjoying the perfect place."

Kirara and Kenken who always talked positively with a smile during the interview.One year, two years later, they lived a wonderful life that would like to hear the story as many times again.
