Minimalist Kitchen Shelving & Boot Room DIY Build (Story 39)

[@beverlysanderson6646]

You inspire me. I'm 75 and I built a shelf in my kitchen cabinet. I went to the lumber store and found wood in the junk pile, they did free cuts according to my measurements and I came home and installed my shelf. Your films are beautiful to watch. Thank you.

[@H.B.Fashion]

I habe no aptitude for that. Bravo

[@Dandylionbee]

Yes! It has had the same effect on me. My daybed collapsed when then front wooden slat broke…so I am in the process of fixing it. Because I love that daybed. And I don’t have the extra money to buy a new one.

[@Sunflowers9191]

That is awesome! 💪🏻

[@wildrosie]

I love that! Doesn't it just feel empowering to realise you can do all these things on your own?!

[@violimo]

It's something I need to do too.

[@LadyAurora10]

So the projects you have already accomplished almost all alone in 1,5 years: - insulated pipes - water pump house - garden beds - green house - growing some of your own food - demolished nearly the whole downstairs from inside - closed old and also added new windows - window frames - built an outside wall where there used to be a door - demolished inside wall - designed new layout inside - built a toilet room from scrach + decided the waste system in it - downstairs wall paneling - replaced ceiling joists - replaced floor joist - downstairs ceiling paneling + painting - built new flooring here and there - designed and built a new kitchen - chose suitable new systems in it - built integrated shelving units - made bedroom / office cosier - added better lighting (- and what did I forget?) You did all this while learning the technics and using new tools AND filming + editing everything for others to see! You have been SO productive in those conditions. We are impressed! ✨

She also -sewed a dress.

[@LadyAurora10]

@@tommynyberg2122 That's right, she did that too. And gave herself a haircut 😃 Go, Rosie! 💪🏻

Gaps are why caulk was invented ❤ or sawdust and wood glue mixed together - my dad was a joiner and this was a tip I got from him ❤

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I’m a 77 yr. old woman who built a cabin myself so I am overjoyed to watch you build!🦌💌❤️🪚🔨🛠️🔧🪓🙏

[@sylviahebert9038]

Always remember that what makes a good carpenter is that they know how to hide their mistakes!

[@wildrosie]

Haha that is a good point!

[@kululv]

so true! I love it!

[@pamsmith7369]

You teach me that it’s ok to be the person you are. I start my days slowly, I do what I want and need to do each day. Every day is different. I spend a lot of time fixing simple meals; veggies, fruit, grains, tea. I enjoy what I eat and eat very healthy. Some days I hang out laundry to dry, even in the winter. It’s January here and I will hand things out today. I salvage other people’s discards, fix them up and sell at flea markets. I enjoy keeping things out of the landfill. I screw, glue, refinish, paint, fix whatever is required and then feel a sense of accomplishment. I also teach yoga and that makes enough to pay my bills. Otherwise I live like a retired person but will probably never retire! I enjoy what I do so why would I stop? I enjoy your calming videos and get inspiration from them. Thank you!

[@baraahmahmassani1134]

Rosie, I believe you are an inspiration to most creative people. You make difficult life easy with your patience and simplicity. Keep it up and always share your projects!

[@williamlanark3038]

Wood glue and sawdust, mix up a paste, fill gaps, sand and paint. Might work out for you.

[@hannahr.n.5791]

Smart idea!!

[@jensbonde9818]

Yes, that´s a good old "trick" !

[@wildrosie]

Gap unfortunately too big for simply filling, will have to add bits of wood and then ill probably caulk!

[@suzisaintjames]

I use this glue/sawdust paste to fill erroneous screw holes so bugs/spiders don't make their homes in there. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@angelaleite9535]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And you can decorate the side of the unit ! Maybe a mirror?

[@citygirlingraham]

Rosie, it is absolutely love to watch what you do in your little cottage in Sweden, it brings me happiness to watch your videos and the progression you have made. I'm just a older lady living in Washington state and not a lot of good things happen here but I absolutely love watching your videos, just wanted to tell you that.

[@Mitoubacklund]

How much time it must take to get the drone out, set up the cameras to show all this..Time consuming..!

[@RoseCottageColleen]

You've made such wonderful progress since you've started. You should be incredibly proud of yourself.

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Thank you for saying so. When I tell her how cool she is, all I get is me giving her too much credit. I'm not bitter. 🤪😜

[@wildrosie]

Hahaha

[@jeffgoldhall]

You can say that again ❤

[@patriciapratley6773]

What an absolutely fabulous job you’ve done with all your renovations. Your house is becoming a home 💕😃

[@susanmary4752]

You should be so proud of all you've accomplished. I absolutely love watching your videos. Between the scenery, the music, your sweet voice and the work you're doing to create your home. It's all wonderful. Well done Rosie!!

[@Dandylionbee]

I so much enjoyed you taking us along on your hiking vacation. The kitchen is coming along beautifully….you will eventually have everything in place and running smoothly. Cooking meals, brewing hot tea and feeling the warmth only a kitchen can infuse your soul with…I’m so happy for you!

[@elisabethbenders-hyde5286]

Your videos are reminiscent of Martijn Doolaard's renovation videos. You set a calming pace and show beautiful nature interludes. Your shots are artfully set up. I love the balance you create. Congratulations on these beautifully crafted videos and for taking us through your renovation trials and errors. You're making a beautiful space. Really enjoy watching your videos.

[@alexandrasoriano5834]

I am a huge fan of Martijn Doolaard! Just found Rosie's vlog and definitely reminds me of Martijn. I was thinking how these 2: Rosie and Martijn who both hail from the Netherlands would get on famously, they are like 2 peas in a pod..

[@linda6725]

Yes! What a duo these two creative geniuses are!!

[@hansolofsson3760]

Hi Rosie, don't forget my advice to you to hire a licensed electrician to check the safety of the electric installations, because you can't do everything yourself for your safety and for the law, and the incurance but continue building as I am follow....

[@ruthnoronha8206]

It looks amazing. You did it. You transformed this dated kitchen into this functional multi use space. Your mom is going to be super proud when she see it on her next visit. You did good Rosie.

[@JoPace-c7r]

Due to a hidden plumbing leak, the gut renovation of our home is 85% complete. I'm doing as much as I can myself. Labor costs are astronomically high and quality of workmanship is ridiculously low. Your videos give me the boost I need to continue.

[@ca6177]

Wild Rosie, I wish I was 30 years younger! You are such an inspiration to this old woman who wishes I could even attempt a fraction of what you do! More power to you! ❤

[@galleritegn4319]

Hello Wild Rosie. We love your videos, viewed from a small island in Denmark. You are a delight. A tip on making your own oat drink/milk, should you wish to make your own: 1 mug of oats: 4 mugs of cold water in a bowl. Leave to stand for a while 1-24 hrs. Using a hand held whizzer give it a good whirl. Sieve through regular mesh sieve. Pour into a bottle and keep in the fridge. Shake well before use. Keep in fridge. Lasts a while...and saves dosh!

[@thatsalt1560]

If you use the blender for only 1-2 minutes, no soaking before and strain, it'll be less slimy. (Because, let's be honest here, oat is slimy unless processed with enzyms like commercial oat milk.)

[@RobbC.]

So good to see someone living their dream, very inspirational. Great job getting everything together. Keep up the awesome work. Stay safe :)

[@joeb4142]

Somehow I could feel your sense of enormous satisfaction and happiness when you put that first hanger in your wardrobe. Thank you Rosie you make me smile 😊

[@judithparsons1920]

Oh how elated you were- coming back to yourself (your home). I adore your persistence to build your shelves!! How wonderful- to have organization!! (Standing ovation)

[@cynthiakammann7368]

It may sound a little odd to say, but I adore a boot room. So necessary, practical. Amazingly, most homes in the states don't have such a designated space. (We call them mud rooms.)

[@allpicturenosound]

I was wondering if some day you might perhaps do a video on how you feel this way of life has affected your mental and physical health. The pros and cons if you will xo

[@wildrosie]

I never though of doing a video like that, but it's an interesting idea and I'll see if it's something I can talk about!

[@Julia-zj2ch]

Beautiful work, Rosie! Thank you for letting us know how your lovely home survived the cold!

[@odulcina]

Glad to know that your house survived😂 the unit around the fridge looks good :)

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

I think this my favourite video so far. The brackets for your clothes rail are inspired. It all looks lovely.

[@annejohnson5580]

You are a super determined young lady. Nothing was going to stop you completing that shelving!! Thank you for letting us know that all was well when you got home from your trip.

[@monikacarless_wordwitch]

Well that looks so nice! You're creating a lot of storage which is always good. I'm imagining your chimney fixed for next winter and you all cosy in the living room with candles and a book!

[@sashacat53]

You also inspire me Rosie. I am a female and nearly 70 and at one stage thought I just wouldn’t be able to do the things I used to do however you have taught me that I still can, just use more patience and kindness to myself.

[@kaderin1001]

You’re so inspiring!! I love watching what you’re able to accomplish by yourself 💪 In case it might be helpful - I believe most fridges have changeable handles, so with a bit of work you would be able to open the door from the other side (the kitchen side)!

[@hannekedriest1699]

First thing i noticed as well. Even some of the most expensive kitchen redo's on TV end up with the fridge door opening to the wrong side. It's one of my Pet Peeves!

[@peackeeper1]

May I say that you are such a beautiful human being, Young gifted lady. I watch your videos every night before I go to bed because they bring me so much peace and Joy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey of life with us. I did something very similar as you only in the Sierra Mountains in Northern california in my little cabin here on 8 in the forest. Its a good life and a dream come true. The weather is a bit more tolerable here than in Sweden but more expensive as well. Im curious what area of Sweden you are in. probably not a good thing to divulge on the internet but a rough ballpark would be enough. I do think of visiting Sweden and possibly buying a summer home. Blessing to you and your family. Please keep sharing. It means so much to many of us. You make the world a better place to live in and you give hope to those of us who are hermited and have lost faith in humankind. thank you so much

[@Naturallyjj0806]

What a treat it is to follow you on your journey. Caulking would help to fill the seams and gaps and they sell paintable kind so you can paint it to look more seamless. All the little imperfections should give you pause to celebrate because you worked hard to build those units and shelves and weren’t afraid to tackle the projects. You are an inspiration

[@janettehunter6479]

I’ve become fascinated by your work ethic @ catching up with yr previous videos. The weather is certainly challenging.

[@consideredwhisper]

I love how you say ‘hello’ to things - I do that too. Hardly believable that couple of weeks ago you were walking in your shorts in the semi-tropical sunshine! The house looks amazing, Rosie. You are doing a great job and thank you so much for sharing it with us.

[@bobmac004]

Great work on the cabinets, well done.👏 I would move the fridge and freezer handles to the left side so the doors open the other way but that's just me 🙃

[@kristengumm4045]

I teared up at the end, talking to your sweet house. You have invested so much and she stood strong for you 😍.

[@francallahan3697]

Snowshoes are a game changer for walking in the snow

[@LadyAurora10]

I'm also wishing someone could sponsor Rosie with a pair of taller winter boots. They keep the snow out from ankles. 😊

[@gailbradford305]

Electric cords don’t have to wrap over and around walls. Use a hole saw and cut round holes in that wall behind the microwave and through the back of the shelf to reach the plug.

[@anitahendershot3754]

congratulations on your cabinets! They look nice, even if not every gap is perfect, that's what gives it the special character! When you leave the house in the winter for days, you should winterize it. meaning to empty your water tanks, filters even your pump! that way you dont have to worry when you would lose power when you're not there!
