The dream of a house from childhood
Soviet and Russian director and actor was born in 1960 in Cherepovets. He recalls his childhood in a parental home in the regional center of the Vologda Oblast with warmth. The father of little Leonid earned his living as an engineer at the factory, his mother taught at school. Also, his younger brother Vladimir grew up with him.
When the future author of the documentary films had his own family, he began to look for real estate. And it was not by chance that he chose a site in the Vologda Oblast: this place reminds him of the good moments from his childhood.
Together with his wife Leonid Parfyonov, he managed to find an interesting house in the starodachny village of Moscow Region. In appearance, housing resembles a house in Switzerland. This impression is not easy: the facade of the building is made thanks to the frame construction of the fachwerk, which is used in the construction of European houses.
The frame from such a beam is formed by a system of various elements: horizontal, diagonal, vertical braces, special racks and beams. Inside the house it is very warm, since the gaps during the installation of the fachwerk are filled with insulation material that prevents the ingress of cold air.

The main theme in the design of the country house of the star couple is the European style. In the original interior stands out a large number of antique products of the XIX-XX centuries:
- painted buffets;
- decorated chests;
- suppliers and other items.
The old artist Mikhail Suvorov, part-time collector, helped to supplement and collect the old collection to the famous artist of the Russian Federation. Leonid Parfyonov shared in an interview that the interior turned out to be museum.
Initially, the design idea was completely simple, but in the end an unusual result came out. Despite its antiquity, all the historical things in the country mansion are functional. The wife of a popular artist and actor believes that a favorable and positive aura emanates from the objects of peasant life, which fills the house with warmth and keeps it from evil eyes.
Study
The private room of the Russian public figure of culture and art is also decorated in a laconic style. Vivid accents are antique decor items, a desk made of natural wood, intricate paintings and figures brought from different countries. The main colors presented in the interior of Leonid Parfyonov’s office: muted caramel, dark and mustard.
The design of the living-dining room
The ground floor of the country mansion is occupied by a spacious living-dining room, where old items are located: painted chests, sideboards and cupboards. Most of the decor was found in simple metropolitan stores, some were brought from abroad. In addition to expensive antique furniture, the house has non-canonical icons, as well as products created by skillful artisans.
Bedroom decoration
The interior of the bedroom is made in wood shades. The main bet is made in the style of Finnish design. Natural materials prevail here: wood, leather, fabrics. An elegant wrought-iron bed is located in the center of the room. A modest but beautiful lampshade flaunts above it. Bedside tables are made by masters of the 19th-20th centuries and restored for subsequent use. Along with antique furniture, there are items from the modern IKEA store.
The atmosphere of the room is cozy, family. Huge windows add more light and complement the overall bedroom interior. Not far from the wooden door is an old Russian chest, and above it is a large mirror in a gilded frame. The bedroom also has unique accents: African wooden figures and Etro Italian bedding.

The site allowed to accommodate not one, but two kitchen areas. The first was decorated in a simple style and equipped with the latest kitchen appliances. For the second, an original style was chosen - Moroccan. The interior of the kitchen was redesigned and brought to the ideal: a smokehouse stove was installed as a special characteristic accent.
Elena Parfenova often monitors the quality of cooking. It is important for her that all products are fresh. Therefore, the owners have been breeding poultry (chickens, quail), rabbits and other animals for many years. Behind the house there is a large garden for growing vegetables, herbs and fruits.
Infield
The country house of the star family was built in a cottage settlement in a pine forest. This place was not chosen by chance: the couple appreciates a calm environment, silence, love to spend outdoor recreation. In addition, the woodland behind the house is a warm memory of the childhood of a Russian director, screenwriter and actor.
The landscape project was designed by experienced designers, but the main contribution to the creation was made by Leonid Parfyonov and Elena Chekalova.
The owners of a three-story house often try to spend time in it. The mansion pleases friends and guests of artists when they invite them to themselves or start family gatherings.
