Regarding the fireplace, I believe that there exist special "glass doors" to these old kinds of fireplaces that can replace/be added to the black ones. So you would actually see the fire. These types of old fireplaces are everywhere in sweden and I always thought that it was a shame that one could not see the fire due to the closed doors. I am not 100% sure that they exist, but I vaguely remember that I stumbled upon them on the internet some time ago.

[@davidromanart]

Well done for taking on sponsors 👏🏼 relieve some of that financial pressure doing what you already love

[@suewarman9287]

You seem a bit down, Rosie. Spending too much time alone, maybe?

[@judywidick4028]

I am in the USA and am thoroughly your channel. It’s like reading a book and I can ‘t wait until the next episode. I love your gentle voice, your beautiful hands and the simple life you are living. I’m also amazed at the things you do alone.

[@Pinkolliphant]

Rosie, that sage green is beautiful and it instantly made your kitchen look so serene and cosy 💚

[@Divinefemininemiracles]

Put out some extra videos and get the money to fix your fireplace. I live in a huge woodland that i don't own in a 300 year old stone cottage. My fireplace is my number one priority . Rosie it will change everything I promise. It creates such a feeling of sanctuary, magic, safety, warmth and protection. Make it a priority!!!!!! Honestly you will be amazed. I know what it's like on your own, everything is different- different needs. Somethings are so much harder. Somethings are so much easier! Get your fireplace up to the top of your priority list (manifest the money, do some sponsorship - reach out to eco flow etc) and then get your own way of getting wood. I use dead standing trees there's loads and I collect kindling all summer. Self sufficient heat (and water) is a game changer.

[@wildrosie]

The amount of time it takes to renovate and create these videos is more than a full time job, it's impossible to make more, I don't even manage to get one out every week because there's simply not enough time. I haven't had a day off in ages. They also do not generate that much income so unfortunately the fireplace will have to wait!

[@thor-leiflundberg9809]

I rally agree with the suggestion of being able to heat your building with firewood. As long as you live in the Swedish forest it must be prio no 1. It will save a lot of cost of electricity as well. I’m sure some nice Swede has an old iron stove that you can get for free.

[@clovermark39]

Get a hot tent stove and put the chimney out of a window for now. Can you get the thanks button on your videos?

[@Divinefemininemiracles]

Yes. I guess if you have never had a fire you don't understand its importance. Sadly it's another thing we have been brainwashed out of. The system wants us reliant on the system. I never realised how important the woodstove is. Now its my number one priority. Especially as my wood is free I just have to go and process it which is a lot of work but i refuse to buy wood when i live in a woodland. I also have bore hole water which is great but it runs off electric. So if i have a power out. I have no water. Another thing Rosie needs to be mindful of. I would not want to be in Sweden in winter relying purely on electricity to heat that would scare me.

[@potterlinda02]

I totally agree about the fireplace but perhaps you could just do a freestanding wood stove somewhere in your cottage and forget about that old chimney and I understand how long it does take to make these wonderful videos I just hope you never go away I so enjoy watching you and learning so much from you

[@jillbrock5775]

I think one of the most impressive things I've ever seen is someone painting a white ceiling with a black top on and not getting a drop of paint on the black top!

Yes, I would so like to find her some help. I'm from Sweden and judging by the video where she goes walking and where she and her visitors go to Kållands ö she's not too far from my hometown, but I live abroad and I'm broke.

[@Brembelia]

It's really coming along. I'm amazed at how much you have accomplished. The place has gone from foreboding and kind of creepy to very warm, inviting, and homey. It's truly wonderful. It will be awesome when you get it finished. You will have time to do other things and just live your life. Keep up the good work. 👍 We are all pulling for you. 😊 PS I pay over 100 usd a month for utilities. Utilities are brutally expensive. Maybe later solar panels might be something to consider. I would love to go solar, but I need a new roof on my house first. I want to put on a metal roof over marine, pressure treated plywood. That way, I won't ever have to replace the roof again. 🍃

[@joeb4142]

Elegant is definitely the word.

[@moamoa7067]

As a landscaper in Sweden i would really suggest as you have a beautiful field at your torp, to keep the field as a native flower meadow( slåtter äng). It's low maintenance (one a year cutting)and absoulty beautiful to always have something flowering from spring to fall and create habitation for endangered species. Especially good considering the extinction rate for meadow species.

[@wildrosie]

I would LOVE that and I'm actually hoping to try and do that in a few spots next year.... can you recommend particular seeds from anywhere?

[@moamoa7067]

@@wildrosie @Roaming Wild Rosie glad to hear! you could collect seeds from your dried flower heads already on your medow, and sprinkle them under the long grass directly on the soil. I would not buy flowerseeds that are mixed with grass seeds(usually big store brands). Skanefro or pratensis are probably good options.

[@janohare916]

Maybe your area of Sweden has conservation sources with native plants or seeds from your area. They will flourish and attract native insect species. ❤

You certainly don't live in Stockholm then, snow for Christmas isn't as common as we'd like considering it's still dark. I have no problems with Christmas in the tropics but then again I'm old and the traditional holiday isn't as important for me, but daylight is. I do like seasons, but winter here is too dominant for my taste and summer too short and precious.

I have also always had that dream and this spring I finally made it real. The cottage and the abandoned farm is in really bad shape and it will be a long process. I would love to start designing but have to make the clean up and renovations first. 😊I hope you can reach your dream too.

[@Afraithe]

You should at least get a price quote for fixing the chimney. If they can clear the debris and maybe line the chimney with stainless (or whatever they use), that would allow you to use it.

I have two old chimneys in my cottage, one of which the upper part was so bad we had to take it down. I was hoping The part inside the house is still ok so i might be able to rebuild it myself.

[@florentinalily]

Thankyou for the vlog; I am full of admiration for your tenacity and love your design ideas. Is that a fuel/wood burning cooker? What a bonus! another source of heat! Its an amazing oven.. not ugly rosie.. its practical and presumably works in the environment you are living in? Use it. You will start to love it. Why use an electric heater when you have that which is free to load up? It's a no brainer rosie. You are living in the wild now; not in a flat in London - this is how living in the wild really is; and the stove running constantly in the winter; providing heat and the ability to boil a kettle and cook and keep your home warm is fundamental to the sort of life you are leading now. I grew up off grid and the heart and warmth of my home was the Aga.

[@jesswright8279]

It is definitely not an ugly oven and says something about the history of the space you’re living in as otherwise it’s all going to be new and yours. Many people would give an arm and and a leg for an oven like that and it must have cost a fortune in its day. Worth getting it restored further down the line.

[@virginiameza6885]

Rosie, such a pleasure to get your videos. You can see the designer in the making and i bet it takes a very long time to make them. They are perfect!

You’re doing an amazing job and you’re very courageous to be doing it. You’re an inspiration. Good luck

Hej Roaming wild Rosie! 11:37 For leaves, use a räfsa. They are made to collect leaves. It makes the work much easier. If you leave the leaves behind, they become fertilizer for the plants.

The ugly corner is now beautiful. I like your woodstove Rosie, unfortunately not functional at the moment, but try to sand down the rust, and polish it with "spislack". You could ask for quotes of lining your chimney with steelpipe, so you can use the woodburners. It is the cheapest and easiest way to get your chimneys approved. Electricity costs too, so it might be a good solution financially. And remember, your fridge gives out a lot of "free" heat. Do not close it in - to take advantage of the heating it gives. 😊

[@1873Winchester]

Aww, sorry to hear that about the chimney. Nice to hear you have a "rörspis" though, that's a really good style of heater to have once you get the chimney going. Swedish classic since the late 1700s! You'll find once it's going it's going to change the entire experience. Not just the fireing itself, but all the work around it. I love going out and chopping firewood for half an hour or so. That birch on your yard will make good firewood, but you kinda need to hurry in getting it split and stapled so it can dry out and not start to rot. Cut and split it and store it off the ground and covered from rain and snow. I like the green too, it's a classic kitchen color. Really fits a kitchen of your style.

[@itube0047]

I would look into transforming the stove into one with a glass front. Stoves today are much more efficient than old stoves (without afterburner - burning the gasses), and open old stoves are even less efficient. The complicated pipe system retains more heat, but if you stay at home/work from home, it doesn't really have any use. It is quite common to add a modern stove on the side that has a pipe running into the old chimney. You could also make an entirely new chimney somewhere else with a steel pipe, which is common now. I would talk to many different people to try to get the best solution, and not end up paying some greedy person for a lot of uneccessary work. Ask some neighbours, they have probably burned a lot of wood, and could possibly share some valuable advice. Regular Swedish people will be very helpful if you ask them. All the best. EDIT: I forgot about the stove in the kitchen. Perhaps you have to do a restoration, but I would look into making some changes to the stove in the living room to see the flames and get more heat out of the wood. The stove in the kitchen you would have to fire all year, incl. the summer, so perhaps it would be better to just get an electic stove in the kitchen.

[@robterheide5996]

Hi Rosie, take a look at the video’s from Martijn Doolaard, a famous Dutch hiker who is doing the same thing like you, high up in the Italian Alps, he is using a tent stove in his tent during these cold seasons, maybe you can get a permission for using such a stove in Sweden.

Hoi Rosie, eerst en vooral, diep respect voor wat jij allemaal voor elkaar krijgt, jij bent een van de handigste vrouwen die ik tot nu toe heb zien klussen, ik ben handig en doe ook alles zelf en voel me af en toe wat dat betreft soms een beetje alleen of hoe moet je het uitdrukken, ik ken weinig mensen die ook zo zijn en kijk daarom graag naar veel video’s van mensen zoals jij, die alles zelf maken en ook oude huizen en zelfs kastelen, die weinig meer zijn dan ruïnes, vooral in Frankrijk, restaureren. Nou zijn jouw kijkers hoofdzakelijk uit andere landen dan uit Nederland en kunnen aan jou ook absoluut niet horen dat je er geboren bent door het perfecte engelse taalgebruik. Maar waar ik naar toe wil is, dat in jouw situatie, en ik weet niet of dit al eerder geopperd is, misschien niet omdat wij, dus de Nederlanders, van oudsher een fietsvolkje zijn en vele formen en variaties van tweewielers kennen en berijden. En daarom zomaar een suggestie, zou het voor jou niet een goed idee zijn om een bakfiets aan te schaffen, die zijn er in vele uitvoeringen zoals je zult weten, zowel met twee of drie wielen en het mooiste ook met trap ondersteuning, deze zijn weliswaar wat duurder maar vergeleken met een goede elektrische fiets valt het nog mee, en deze kun je waarschijnlijk, ten minste hier, ook in termijnen betalen. Ik heb geen idee en misschien wel, dat deze in Zweden ook te koop zijn, en misschien wel goedkoper. Ik heb zelf bijv. mijn ONEBOT elektrische vouwfiets online in Polen gekocht voor de helft van de prijs van wat deze in Nederland kost. Jij hebt heel wat kilometers afgelegd op de fiets en bent ook afhankelijk van deze om steeds alles thuis te brengen, wat mij voor jou vaak een behoorlijke opgave lijkt, dus vandaar dat ik zomaar dit idee met jou wou delen. Ik verheug me op alle volgende afleveringen in die prachtige natuur en jouw steeds leuker wordende gezellige huisje en vind het tof dat je dit met ons kijkers wilt delen. Ik wens je daar verder een fijn leven, blijf gezond en heel veel klus plezier gr. Rob Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad

Also love when you do some food related recipes…canning etc.

I like your paint colors. The sage green is lovely and soft.

Hi, Rosie. I like what you have done in the stove corner. The kitchen is looking very cozy😊

[@Mookiethedog]

Yo Rosie......that sage green and finished up timber looks amazing.....you're a star!!

[@ewaeg6804]

Wow - you're doing a fantasic job with this nice little "torp"/cottage, Rosie 🙂! You're not asking for advice but I just want to tell you that I, many years ago, moved to a place like this but without electricity and water and the first thing I did was to have the chimney restored. That allowed me to get warmth from the "rörspis"/tiled stove and food from cooking on the "vedspis"/kitchen stove 🙂. I never regretted that! A small advice, though, is that you (IF you want to be able to sometimes in the future use your fireplaces), before you built a cupboard close to the kitchen stove check out with your chimney sweep what sort of fireproof material you must use according to our swedish rules - good luck and lot's of love to you!

It turned out SO beautifully, not only do you have a great eye for design but the skills it takes to make it happen, I would say that’s something to be very proud of and thankful for❤

[@susiefreeman6626]

You teach me that little by little I can renovate my little home ❤ too!

It all looks very lovely, and the feeling of a "Home" should really be there by now. I think that the primary thing now would be to get the chimney fixed, so the stove can be used - it gives a lingering and cozy heat, and saves you on some screaming when the electrical bills arrive during the winter...

Someone in Sweden please help this lovely girl with her fireplace for winter and keep her warm😢🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️xxx

Rollers can’t have emulsion paint in the cage part or it drips heavily and overloads in patches on wall , you need a roller bucket scuttle and roller with extension pole handle , paint away from light . Your learning so much and all this hard work will be so rewarding.

I love your oven, they can be a great source of heat

[@sandramurray5879]

It's fascinating to watch your progress unfold. What is so amazing is that this is all your own work and you put such a lot of effort into everything you do. I love seeing your home grow more beautiful every time.

Hi Rosie you’re doing a great job, the house is looking so good loving the sage green m the kitchen is looking fresh and bright. Good luck with the rest of the renovations, take care of yourself 😊❤

Impressive work and a gutsy effort Rosie. As a female high-rise construction and underground mining safety rep adept at the things you are achieving, I feel a duty of care to bring a few things to your attention without sounding like your mother. I am not trying to scare you but to make you aware of certain dangers. I noticed you wore masks, and eye and hearing protection, awesome, but I did notice you not using a mask when cutting the timber. Pine and red cedar can break up as fine as asbestos and can also lie dormant in the lungs, to safeguard yourself please use your mask when cutting or even drilling into the said timber. Talking about using glue, my hubby built my daughter's cot and he glued and screwed it together without checking the dimensions of doorframes, etc. Well to cut a long story short, we removed the window to put the cot into Megan's bedroom. Fun, fun oh yeah nah lol.

Ik volg je al vanaf het begin. Ik geniet van elke aflevering. Je videos brengen een bepaalde rust met zich mee . Echt super mooi aan het worden je huisje. Het resultaat tot zover mag er zeker wezen. Een tip voor jou, is om de kabels overal weg te werken d.m.v. kabelgoten😉. Ziet er net iets netter uit.

My old friend told me to heat up some lard and with an old wool sock , rub it on the top of the stove and it will blacken and be shiny and beautiful! ( it is like a cast iron frying pan...you are "seasoning it" ) it may take a few coats...but very easy.! Enjoy!
