A Blue Front Door (and a ✨finished✨ corner in the Kitchen) | 100-year-old Cottage Renovations

I said I wanted a blue door and a blue door it is. I love how the colors look now, with the yellow and the blue and the red roof and the white trims. It makes me so very happy!
It felt good to get those shelves up in the kitchen in real Scandinavian design. It's like a small part of my house is (almost) officially done.
Although the grass is still green and it looks almost "summer-y" outside, the autumn is here. Colder days are approaching so this was my last time working outside this year. I still have a firewood situation to address though, but no more painting or building.
Winter is coming.
Thank you for watching, and thank you for reading.

[@tanschi8449]

It's not even summer and autumn in already getting to where you live? No wonder you want to be ouside as much as you can when the weather is nice. The northern light are stunning: I've never seen them in person. It's one of my dreams

[@MathildeHenriksen]

This footage is from August 2023. I'm just a slow editer, I apologize for the confusion💛 I hope you one day get to see the northen light in person! It really is magnificent and I never grow tired of looking at it💛

Aww, thank you so much💛 You are very kind!

[@abbeolivarez6294]

I really like your videos with your DIY home renovations and how you repurpose, refurbish pieces of furniture. Can you please do a video where you go room by room and show us the before and after your DIY, and other future plans you may have for your house. Thanks you.

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Thank you, thats kind of you!💛 I don't really have a proper before and after since no project or room is finish. But maybe I'll manage to make it in the future!

[@selinab8532]

i do hope you keep the inside colourful & not ordinary plain white, love that you do things a little differently, love the corner reno with the green cabinet & shelves love your yellow cottage with it's now very blue door! thanx for sharing

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Oh yes, absolutely! I did like the original yellow color in the kitchen, but the walls were so damaged that I had to repaint anyway. It will be a "boring" white for some time, until I figure out what to do with the rest of the house and the interior:) But this will never be a white/grey/beige home, that is certain! 💛

[@meganpetersen2751]

I love watching your videos! They are so calm and cozy! Thank you for posting. 😊

[@marciajenkins819]

I love your enthusiasm. Your cottage is looking so friendly and inviting.

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Thank you! 💛 That makes me happy to hear, since that is a goal of mine:)

[@polgarauk5606]

Love the repeated takes at the beginning and definitely preferred the final one with Java watching and encouraging you on 😁 Door looked fabulous and most definitely you. Loved the kitchen corner and the colour you painted the cabinet is one of my favourites as I love those shades of green 😊 Nearly snow time at this rate your videos will be up to 2024 in no time 😊

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Haha, I thought it was nice to show that speaking to a camera really isn't my strong suit😅 Java is always giving me thumbs up behind the scenes💛 Thank you for your kind words! I didn't film too much this winter, so I hope to catch up real soon!! I just need to remember to film in present time🙈

[@SharmanSomerset]

Magnificent Mathilde! Your kitchen and front door look amazing and I adore how happy and quirky you are in your videos, big love to you and Java x

[@kleinesren7064]

That blue is lighter than expected, but it looks so good against the yellow! And boi that kitchen corner is looking SO nice. Great solution on the sticky wooden top! And thanks for sharing the northern lights footage, I adore them

[@MathildeHenriksen]

It was lighter than expected indeed! But you are quite correct, it does work with the yellow, so I might just keep it that shade don't you think? The kitchen is really coming together, it makes me so-so excited!💛 The northern lights are all the time during winter, I really should film more of it!

[@kleinesren7064]

@@MathildeHenriksen if you plan to change the door out eventually anyway, I think the blue can for sure stay. I really think it looks fantastic, and the next door can have another colour (or a deeper blue). Your kitchen even gets me excited! You make great choices, similar to what I would do, so I love it

[@MathildeHenriksen]

@@kleinesren7064 You are a wise person, and I might do just that. No need spending more time on the door since it might need replacing soon anyway. I really should film a videos that shows the whole kitchen, I don't think I have done it. More northen lights are noted!

[@kleinesren7064]

@@MathildeHenriksen you are so sweet! I am just repeating back to you what you already said in the video. I am just wording it differently (I need that too to make decisions!)

It says you're in norway. This may be a stupid question but how could it be fall there? Summer hasn't even really started where I am.

[@helenevigdal2531]

I guess this is footage from last year or earlier. Summer hasn't started up north where she lives either 😊

[@71suns]

I wondered the same thing!

[@latte1020]

It had to be an old footage that she’s now posting because yes their weather is spring now. It threw me off when she said autumn is here!

[@32446]

It’s from last year it said August 2023 at the start.

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Not a stupid question at all! I apologize if it's a little confusing. This is indeed from last august (2023), I'm just a slow editor🙈

[@aprilyoungblood7326]

The kitchen corner is fabulous and coming home to a beautiful door is always moon lifting!

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Absolutely! the blue door has given me many smiles since it was painted💛

[@Jorge_i_Norge]

I feel you. Speak to the camera is the hardest part of making a video. And then the hours to edit it. You are doing it well.

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Thank you!💛 I've noticed that it's easier the more you do it (as it is with all things), but it can still be hard😅

[@debbiethompson8748]

Looking good!

[@jacquelinegomez4974]

Hi you know your blue door would look better if you take out that railing it would create a more open feel just an idea doing a great job 😁👍

I hate the railing, so I might do that yes :D 💛 Thank you!

[@janelte]

What a difference that kitchen corner makes! And should you ever have troubles with it again, it's lacquer for the English captions, and a bugger to remove, no matter how you spell it 😬

[@MathildeHenriksen]

It does, dosen't it! The lacquer (ty for the correction btw) got off, - I think, but it was a weird stickyness there from the very start. Maybe that's normal to happen to older furniture, I don't know 😅

[@claricevercelhese95]

I'm happy to see the prigress in your house. The shelves are really nice. And it was a great idea with the surface if the cabinet. The north lighrs? Magnificent
