A completely renovated first apartment
Fri, 13 Aug 2010We received an email from Ron and it started off like this: "I'm 27 years old and live in Tel Aviv Israel, currently an industrial design student. Me and my girlfriend just bought our first apartment and decided to design it completely by ourselves." Now before I continue I have got to show you a few of the before photos.
And some info on what went on after they had their way with their new apartment:
"In short we re-did the whole place:
Tore down the wall in the kitchen opening it up to the living room and dining area.
United the the bathroom making one long and spacious bathroom
Made the bedroom bigger by closing a indoor balcony.
A bar that comes out of the wall.
I personally designed and built most of the items seen in the pictures:
Large wall clock
Floating unit below the tv
round table and red chairs
table, pipe lamp and the cats playing area which is hung in the red room
faucet in the bathroom
wooden bar
lights in the living room (with red cords)
bed and side table in bedroom. "
I cannot even put into words how in awe I am of Ron's talent. Seriously. This apartment is FULL of creative and such well-executed items. See for yourselves. (I told him I may steal the cat play area idea). Check out his website HERE.
And SO MUCH MORE after the jump.

WOW!!!! Thats amazing, what a transformation!! Ive stayed in some really done up serviced apartments london has and thought they were impressive, but thats the next level!
Good job - bet your happy to just rest in it now :)
I really like this. This was really well done and this guy has an excellent future in interior design and re-modeling. Great job on you and your girlfriends first abode.
I love the alarm clocks clock. you are brilliant!
This was brilliantly done... awesome.. esp looking at the condition of the house at the time of buying.. brilliant
I adore the towel rack/faucet. This guy has serious talent - to take that bleak before to that fantastic after is just amazing. :o) Tov Me'od!!!!
fricken sweet!
simply mindblowing!!!!
Hi Sabine! Very cool.
i wish i was rich as fuuuck
Beautiful work! I love the clock.
Way to take such a small space and use it to your advantage! Everything is so beautiful and creative! Congratulations!
I want this guy to design my apartment, hahaha~ XD
This is a spectacular makeover of an apartment. Love it.
AMAZING! Love the clock. Great job!
What a fantastic space and genius ideas !! I love it !!!
Wow! Love the clock with the clocks; and the towel bar/faucet-too cool.
Towel rail faucet ok as long as you have low water pressure. Anything over 35 psi and you would quickly regret that idea.
Rest of the apartment shows real new ideas, how long to think up and execute?
How well built and will stand up to time?
What is Kitchen countertop made from? White usually not a good idea and where did cabinets come from? They look Ikea'ish? and that word now looks like hebrew!
Gotta love what you can do with the blood of Palestinians!
Awesome reno, I just have to say that the bedroom and the office fall a little flat and disappointing after the awesome living and bath areas. great job though!
Just goes to show you that neccessity is the mother (and father) in all invention. I have renovated 19 homes but nothing as well. I especially love the towel bar-faucet in the bathroom. So chic and utilitiarian, its brilliant and beautiful. Can we get instructions any where? PS - my daughter is an NYU student in Tel Aviv right now. Can she come over for a vegetarian dinner? ;>)

We would love to have your daughter over for dinner, contact me rrronnn@gmail.com.
