Our SWEDISH STYLE DINING ROOM MAKEOVER begins - all because of a MORA CLOCK!

[@EastSeaCoast]

How did I only just come upon this adorable couple? So calming and wonderful to watch! Love!🥰

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

Their great! So is their house!

I just found them September 2023! So glad I did!

[@martinaschmitt2832]

Same with me. So lovely the two of them, so decent ❤

[@toosile4u]

I just found them by accident, I completely agree with you. I sit with a cup of tea, coffee, etc., and watch their videos, it's my favorite relaxing thing to do. Kirsten and Jeorg, thank you for sharing your cottage adventures. 😊💗

[@cindi7955]

I so love the Swedish style and your colours are 'spot on' and. oh my goodness, that chair design is so perfect. You will have a very bright and welcoming room which, I feel, will 'hug' you when you enter! The MORA CLOCK is stunningly beautiful it is so pleasing to the eye and I can see how it was love at first sight. 💛 Will so enjoy watching through the coming months as you work toward the grand finale! The cake, Kirsten, was beautiful and as you say looked so simple to make I must try it! Where did you get your wonderful Bundt pan, please?

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much! The bundt pan is from Nordic Ware, I will try to find it and link it in the info box.

Love the clock...what a treasure! Can't say that I like the shade of yellow. It looks like egg yolk. However, you have such exquisite style, I'm sure you will make it look beautiful.

the chocolate has split.....perhaps you melted it at too high a temperature....I usually warm the cream in a double boiler and add the chocolate slowly in small pices and stir constantly....still looks delicious !!!!

Looks like your chocolate seized …just add boiling water a little at a time and it will smooth out. Love the clock, the paint and you both!! Can’t wait to see the finished room!

[@fayputnam1774]

I searched to see if someone had suggested the hot water solution for the chocolate. 😊 I recently made some icing, read that instruction for chocolate. Love the Scandinavian colors.

[@Motherhubbard170]

only add the choc to the hot cream off the stove :)

[@jo-annebotha9609]

And don't overheat the cream. I have found it's safest to heat the cream & chocolate up together and just heat it to a temperature where the chocolate starts to melt. Do not boil the cream.

[@beec9741]

I have had success making this type glaze using a double boiler or simply a bowl sitting over a pan of simmering water not quite touching the bottom of the bowl. Place your ingredients into the top bowl, stirring until it has melted and is incorporated.

[@renamika3617]

What a wonderful colour! So bright gives the room a happy and stylish atmosphere together with the clock! Absolutely love it!! And with personal work! Well done Kirsten and Joerg❤😻

[@KirstenJoerg]

[@inglishhomeandgarden8386]

The Mora Clock is wonderful! Being Swedish, of course I cheer for your chosen theme. I would never have dreamt of such a bright yellow wall colour, but it will definitely make for a sunny, cheerful dining experience. ☀️ I love the curtain material. It seems to work well with the tiles. We have similar chairs, and I think it's going to look lovely once it all comes together.

[@pamelacoles4634]

I am a fan from New Jersey in the US and a retired teacher and designer. Your wait time is pretty standard unless ordering from a store that stocks inventory in your particular finish and fabric! I’m delighted to see your patience and know the results will be unique and wonderful! All my best , Pam❤

[@dittedatte8046]

Oh joy, a new video of Kirsten & Joerg. I made a cuppa Coffee and a slice of Amaretti Cake, so that I can enjoy it the fullest. Have fun with your project, it's gonna be so behaglig... 🏵💛🏵💛🏵💛🏵💛🏵

[@francetogo794]

Hi Kirsten, I always enjoy watching your videos from the USA. I love the decor you have chosen for the dining room. I went to the House and Garden website and had a look around. I'm already thinking about incorporating some English decor in my home. By the way, it would be so nice if you and Jeorge can end your videos with byes in German. One YT uber from Sweden ends all of her videos in Swedish. It's so nice to hear different languages from all over the world when you are living in the US. Renee` from Virginia, USA

This is so exciting!! The dinning room is full of possibilities- has good bones already! I remember when you visited that Swedish antique market with the Mora clock! That is quite a secret you kept. The clock is stunning. Can’t wait to see you and Joerg weave your magic again! Love it already!! ❤️

[@lynnjohnston8048]

Your antique Grandfather Clock is gorgeous and I love your decorating style and it’ll be exciting to see it when you’re finished. And how you’ve decorated it with the Swedish style. And your baking looks so delicious 😋 you made a beautiful looking bunt cake.

[@VionaBee]

It's inspiring to see you both roll up your sleeves. Due to your efforts and your amazing taste, the dining room will look stunning. Keep up the great work. 💪😊

[@bjbrown]

I live in Florida USA and painted the exterior of my home a very similar color, maybe a bit lighter. It seemed very bright at first since it had been a dream color. Now it looks just fine and I love it. You are on your way to a lovely new room to enjoy. Have fun picking out the fabrics and window treatment!

[@KirstenJoerg]

We do love a yellow house - when we bought our house from Sweden, we were torn between red and yellow. And thanks so much!

[@clove4240]

When I do a chocolate ganache glaze, I typically heat up the cream, but then take it off the heat and let the chocolate melt into. It makes it smooth and shiny. How odd the recipe had you cook the chocolate. Maybe it was a different type of glaze than I’ve done. Looked yummy anyway.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yes, this is exactly what I did.

[@debrap947]

When I first saw the room and then the Mora clock...I thought a nice golden, saturated yellow would be beautiful, and there it is!!! Love it. I hope everyone is feeling better. Take care, thanks for sharing.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yay, that’s so great! Thanks so much and take care too.

[@femalism1715]

Beautiful! I love the paint colour! It will bring out and highlight the details in the clock. I can just picture it! Combined with the lighter furniture and the upholstered chairs, the dining room will be exquisite!!! What are you going to choose for the ceiling light fixture? I've actually made the non-gluten-free version of that cake. If you melt some coconut oil with the chocolate, the glaze turns out perfectly. Thanks Kirsten and Joerg! I'm relieved you're both feeling better and I am so excited to watch your decorating project unfold!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Luckily there are light fixtures in the room so we're not under pressure and can look for something antique. Absolutely, that should work perfectly, we usually use coconut for a chocolate glaze. I wanted to stick to the recipe only to find out it wasn't ideal.

I also used to have a buttery-yellow kitchen, which felt suitable and was really 'happy'. But I agree that the richer Chinese yellow is perfect for a dining room.

The Mora clock is gorgeous! I'd love too see it up close in person. I imagine it even more beautiful. The yellow paint will look very nice. Especially after you decorate will other colors. I was thinking if you had lightly sanded the walls the paint would have come out more even, but I don't know for sure. Next time you paint something maybe sand a small area and see how it looks. Just a thought. You two are a joy to watch. I'm so happy your channel popped up yesterday. I subscribed and have been watching several videos. 😊 Aloha for now! ~A new fan in Hawaii. Hugs! 🤗🤗

[@sanguinelynx]

I can't wait to see the finished product! It must be such a relief to finally tackle the dining room. Even if it isn't an eyesore it just sits there reminding you more needs to be done. That antique Swedish clock is beautiful! I like the different country styles, they are all distinct yet blend very easily whether it's English, Swedish, French, etc. English will always be my favorite just because I'm so fond of florals, and it makes use of mix and match coziness.
