This august we finally started renting a house in the countryside of Norway.
BIG NEWS! I have created an online course in the ancient craft of making paper by hand. A workshop that you can do at home with recycled materials, and maybe also a great gift for someone for Christmas? The course is at 30% off through all of December! Read more and enroll here: maria-and-the-forest-s-school.teachable.com/p/lets-make-paper-a-creative-papermaking-course-using-only-recycled-material
Use the code PAPERCHRISTMAS to get the discount.
Renting a house has been a dream of ours for many years now, and in this video I wanted to share my excitement by showing you the house makeover we did on a budget. I hope you will feel a little inspired by it, and maybe some of it you hate it, because my taste is of course not the same as yours. So, what do you think?
If you liked the video it helps me a great deal if you would leave a comment or a thumbs up! Thank you!

The house looks excellent Maria. You clearly have a talent for interior design, and boundless energy for such things. I hope it will be a cosy home for the three of you during the winter. I look forward to seeing how it progresses. Well done for capturing the footage of the fox once again as well.

Wow, Maria, I am going backwards to some of your old posts. You really have done a lot of work on this lovely old house! Even scraping the moss off the roof! Your landlords are very fortunate to have you. I look forward to seeing more of the old videos. I hope you are having a great winter. Here in Canada we are having a "hit and run" winter, as they call it. We had -29C one day, and the next day it was +3C! Next week one day will be +8C and the next day +9C. It is crazy!

it is very nice to discover your little cozy nest. It is a beautiful house and you have worked well to make it cozy. I have a small dream myself, to find a small house to rent in Norway , for a few weeks, quite isolated but not too much, because I would not want to rent a car. Just use public transport. Which is a small challenge because I also have to be able to buy food...and therefore reside there alone. Getting by myself. I admit that giving up a car is the only tricky thing. 🧡

Ja, det är väldigt charmigt med sådana gamla hus, har en speciell mysig atmosfär. Just nu är mitt liv lite turbulent. Min mor har varit väldigt sjuk och hon avled. Begravelsen blir på fredag, 1 okt. En venn till mig som är artist (sångerska) ska sjunga 3 sånger. Jag håller på med att försöka lära mig en dikt utantill (som jag ska läsa upp på fredag), samtidigt som jag sitter och håller på med my papercrafting. Hoppas att du och Bendik har en riktigt härlig weekend! /Ditte

Hi! I just discovered your channel and I'm completely in love with it! ☺ Norway is one of the countries I'd choose to live in the future; this just helped me make my decision! I am doing a semester at Bergen University this year and plan to get a house like this as soon as possible. This is just so cozy and beautiful, I loved it. Btw, can you make a video talking about prices, living costs, etc? (I don't want to bother you, just asked respectfully) Thanks so much!!💝
