Hello Naomi and Jack I enjoyed your house tour All I got to say the house is bigger than what it looks wow I love that staircase going up the stairs with a carpet on it and your bedroom and our bath area all lined up in our little closet with her clothes skin care products around did a good job at the house

[@annieoakley7387]

The first time I saw the house filled with the previous owners belongings - I absolutely shuddered at the thought of dealing with all that stuff. Impressed at how you have made use of what has been left - and beautifully made it your own. You are truly an inspirational pair !

[@danielmarklunddotse]

Congratulations on your hard work. Some backstory about the chest @15:03. This is probably a "hope chest" (sv. Brudkista) which was traditionally given to unmarried women. They later brought this chest and its content to their new home, once they got married. It usually contained household items and linens (often woven by themselves, with an embroidered monogram as a finishing touch). If it's a brudkista you'll often find initials, and a year/date written somewhere on the chest. The date either represents the time of birth or time of marriage. Same model, but reinforced, was later used during the big emigration to US. Then often called "the emigrant trunk" (sv. Amerikakoffert/Amerikakista). About 25% of all Swedes (1.5M) decided to leave for a better life across the Atlantic between the years ~1860-1920. One of the main drivers was the discrimination that followed after the great famine 1867-1869. Even though some of these chests have made their way back home to Sweden, it's more likely to find them in the U.S.

[@ahalpert]

Poverty discrimination or ethnic?

[@lwandlekazimazule2457]

We have a similar tradition in South Africa!

[@jazzswinglish]

Noticed that the snow is sliding off your roof, suggests that you are loosing heat through the roof and need to improve the insulation. As for the candles, when I first moved to Sweden I noticed that whenever we visited someone's house they first lit at least one candle and placed it on a coffee table and then put the coffee on. I wondered if they were expecting power cuts but eventually came to realise this is just a Swedish sign of welcome and wanting the house to feel cosy. 😊

[@aasphaltmueller5178]

older houses often have a sub optimal isolated roof, and as it's a real big job to isolate it, this is usually left for a bigger necesarry roof repair or recladding; which does not mean that jack shold not have a look into it

[@Telindra]

Yeah I concur, they should have someone come out there and have a look at their attic to check the status of the insulation and the inside of the roof. There might be some fairly simple and cheap actions they can take in order to increase the roofs insulation overall.

[@lorrainehinchliffe5371]

Lovely custom! Here in Canada it’s the same concern if the snow melts on your roof. Means your loosing heat.

[@proyouservicesltd3652]

Right. I am not surprised; when they were ripping wallpaper from the ceiling, to expose the wooden panelling, it occurred to me that the wallpaper was likey laid on the ceiling to retain minimise heat loss via the roof.

[@lorneharrison3073]

Don't forget that it's a steel roof with a substantial pitch. It's intended to shed the snow, insulation aside.

[@IAMGLYN4REAL]

Simply beautiful

[@101life9]

£8,500 house ?? Looks like a £85,000 !!! Amazing!! Job well done! Warm, cosy and luxurious to me ! Love it💕💕

[@70h4nn35]

Just want to say that you should get some smoke detectors with all those candles if you don’t have any already. It’s a cheap life insurance :)

[@linanicolia1363]

especially with the kitten. Candles should never be left unattended or out of sight.

[@janetrobb8778]

Isn’t it mandatory for smoke alarms in ever home? In Canada 🇨🇦 it’s a must.

[@Bookwright]

@@janetrobb8778 it is.

[@krewetkaaaa]

@@janetrobb8778 in sweden I don't remember one but I am not sure. In Poland where I live now it is not :)

[@kathytuck7660]

You have a beautiful home. You place such care into all you touched. You must be proud of what you have accomplished. The items you inherited are perfect. The trunk is a treasure. We have been watching you work so hard on the Reno’s to make it your own and now the finished product.... thank you for sharing.Naomi and Jack. You make KZbin worth watching.

[@janetleeharrison]

Love how the snow makes your home look like a gingerbread house! Super cozy for sure - I love it! Well done!

[@fegrace_1]

First, I want to say that the two of you did an amazing job on your home. It had great bones but to know that you both pretty much gave it a deep cleaning and reused the former owners items was the epitome of upcycling and sustainability! I hope the previous owner smiles when they see the love you put into renovating their old home. I am absolutely astonished but the transformation of your home! Thanks for sharing!

[@bramvandermey8779]

you guys did a great job fixing the place to your liking. you made it a little paradise and you will enjoy redoing the basement as an additional functional place. I really hope you fall in love with the country up there and live up there a long happy life.

[@virgingodd090]

Lovely! The previous owners would be proud!

[@dianemccloud5990]

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, that is such a lovely serene home you guys have made....I love fall/winter snows, depending on where you live in the states, you just don't get that anymore....Honestly, you guys have shown that exploring beyond your boundaries is possible and not beyond reach....Tickled pink at your success....very inspirational......keep climbing King and Queen and little queen Lola....I love cats...

Another brilliant video! What a wonderful thing for me to watch before I go off to sleep. Again your auntie from the United States is so incredibly proud of the both of you. Jack - you are a man of God. Provider, leader, servant. Thank you so much for all that you do to make a beautiful and comfortable life for your wife. Naomi - what a gift you are to the body of Christ. Your art is amazing. You have inspired me to dig deep into my creativity to see what lies there to bring forth. Please continue to honor and respect your husband. The two of you are a wonderful pair. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Keep up the amazing work.

[@MonkeyBusinessMan]

I live in Sweden, in Stockholm, but watching your videos makes me long for the northern parts of our fantastic country. We used to get plenty of snow down here too in the winters but the last few years has just been wet and rainy and boring. I want to ski and build snowmen and go skating on lakes as we used to when I was a kid. Damn global warming. It’s strange that an english couple can open my eyes about my own country but I’m seriously considering a move up north now. You guys are an inspiration. Keep it up.

[@shannonhime927]

It actually makes me emotional now when I watch these videos; this one being no exception. After the exceptional drone footage at the end, and the lovely music 🎶, I take a few deep breaths and emotion wells up from within ( odd but true). So yes, your sharing of your experience is bringing me close to my own dream. I am old enough to have seen for myself dreams from within can and will happen with God guiding the willing. I will join you on Patreon and continue joining you in your journey as I begin to pursue mine. THANK YOU for sharing!! Your home is a real cozy wonderful home! You both did a wonderful job! You showed it is doable for anyone. The land surrounding is stunningly beautiful!

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

I love your home so much! I can't believe how much you achieved in just 2 short months. It so exciting for me to see the land of 4 sets of my great grandparents who came to the US in the mid 1800's. It is a much revered part of my family. We still make all of the traditional foods of that time during our Christmas holidays. So fitting that you gave the tour of your adorable house at this time. Many blessings and stay safe!

[@serendipity8209]

I like Everything. It's all so Wonderful. I can't believe after watching your journey from London to here -- of the many gifts that the two of you have. All of your Videos are very special, thinking about the unique path and relationship building that the 2 of you have created, with your Subscribers. Next thing to do: With your gift for telling Stories thru a lens -- maybe create & produce a documentary/movie for an even wider audience. BTW, Seeing this Video has created a longing for Sweden. You definitely achieved the "Cozy" that I envisioned -- to Perfection. Lola is beautiful. Love Cats. My previous Cat's name was Jesse.

[@lukeLD]

Just wanted to drop you a little note that you probably wouldn't want to install a wood burner in to your living room using the same chimney because the smoke from the fire below will come out of your new burner. Use to live in a house where the previous owner had done this and when we were having the chimney cleaned they condemned it and we needed to have it removed and sealed off so we could continue to use the fire below 👍 I believe you could do a wood burner in the corner and vent through the wall though

[@CeciliaCarleen_Stories]

You all did a great job I like the exposed ceiling Please don't leave your home study online that's the way we all have to live now. It's so beautiful the home and scenario. So talented both of you I like all the ART WORK that you did. Cheers
