Your gentle style of whipping a home into shape is what originally attracted me to your blog all those many, many years ago. This project takes me back to the old days and I'm loving it.

It's very exciting to see your launch into the summer house projects! With so much to do, every step will be a satisfying move forward. As a Canadian woman well-versed in everything woodstove, you did an AMAZING job on bringing yours back to life! That's a lot of elbow grease!

We have renovated old houses for over 50 years… this ‘last’ one is an 1860 two story. I love watching you return to the original with a modern touch …. that is what we have done…But we don’t want to do any more🙂. Another round of minimizing is on as we move furniture into newly restored living room. Thank you for your videos. My mother’s parents were from Finland. 🙂

When I used to read your blog, I remember you shared a link about a Finnish woman who was building/renovating a summer home. It was black outside and timber inside but very modern. I also remember you said that one day you would have a summer home. Now look here, you finally do! I hope your summer home will become everything you, Wille and Victoria wish it to be. 💐

My word! you don't need your workout app with all that work you're doing!😂 I'm always grateful when I turn a tap on and water comes out, so I can imagine your excitement to have your well and tap taken care of. I hope it's in a year and not three that you get water inside 🤞🏽. What a great job you're doing and it's great that your son and Victoria are on the same page. I bet you're looking forward to warmer weather to come and to be able to spend more time there. Looking forward to seeing more improvements. 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you for sharing. Take care xxx

Your summer home is amazing. It’s amazing what you find in old homes. I lived in a house built in 1780 in the mountains of Massachusetts. We had some of the plaster walls redone. When the plaster was removed, we found very old glass medicine bottles, corn cobs, newspapers dated to the early 1800’s. I saved some of those items. Old homes are treasures. You have done amazing work already. I look forward to future updates.

Hi Marina! I don't want to give you false hope but... well known, polish clairvoyant said that russia will be big loser of the great war which is coming. He was talking about war many years ago. People were rolling their eyes hearing him. Now they don't laugh... It's just his prediction but I hope he is right and russia won't be danger for the neigbors anymore. Hope you are well.

Your DIY skills are incredible. Are all Swedish ladies this good at jobs that in many other countries would be considered the men's domain? You are so creative and passionate about this project. I can't wait to see the finished product, I think it's going to look amazing. I love your style in your apartment so I think the interiors of the house are going to look beautiful once you add your personal touch to them. I can see the living room or is it the kitchen, the one with the white lounge and the new dining table already has the Benita imprint on them. Love your videos and your lifestyle. Thank you for taking us along on your life's journey. It's a good life. ❤🌹🥀🌻🌼🌱🐝🐞🌳🦝🙂
