I live a simple life in my 100-year-old cottage (with a herd of reindeer)

I live a simple, but happy, life in my 100-year-old cottage. I try to enjoy my days while I renovate to make it a little more liveable. And I'm getting there, slowly. I sleep, eat and live in this house as it currently presents itself. It is dusty and messy, but I make due. My bedroom and the bathroom are the only "clean" zones for now, and the kitchen will be the next on the list!
The reindeer pack are cute, but they ate almost all of my strawberry-plants, so we are not friends anymore.
They are welcome to stay in my garden though.
Thank you for watching, and thank you for reading.

Hi there, Andre from South Africa. Like your video. I hope you decided to keep the wooden floor that wooden floor is still in a very good condition. I'm starting to redo all my wooden floors in my house and it looks much better than tiles, carpets or laminated floors. Depends on if you like wood but i see you are a modern women playing with different bright paint coloures.

[@MathildeHenriksen]

Hi Andre! I kept them yes, but I will remove them in the future when I renovate the kitchen and put in new wooden floors. These has been used as subflooring and is in bad condition, - even if I were to sand them with proper tools. I love wood, so you are quite correct!💛

[@andrevanpapendorp3510]

@@MathildeHenriksen Hi. If you remove the wooden floors dont throw it away. That's good quality wood and can still be used as shelving or even to make small cabinets. Good Wood like that is very valuable. Love your renovations

😊 living in a renovation is key for your sanity to get like 1 bedroom done first so that you have a clean comfortable space to relax in every night while living in chaos during the day.. ❤😊

[@potato_films_art]

Is it summer in Norway now? 😁 I was going to write that you need a few days off from the renovation to sit outside and look at the flowers but you probably did that a long time ago 😆 The music in this video is insane. Well, and the second question why is that dog still tethered? 🤔

[@MathildeHenriksen]

First off: I love your username, haha! It is very much winter and snowy in Northern Norway now. The was filmed last summer, I am just a slow editer. Insane music in a good or a bad way? That is a good question! :D She is well behaved and I could definitely have her off her leash. But there's a lot of wild baby birds around during the summer and I don't want to scare them. I am also terrified of the eagles we have in the area. They have taken cats, so my little pup would be a easy target.

[@potato_films_art]

Maybe I'll be famous because of this username 😁Music is good and very funny. Made me feel better. All in all, it's good that you are a slow editor. During the gray winter, I can watch some sunny summer 🙃😉You have given very good reasons why the dog is on a leash. Better to keep it that way 😄
