Our Homespun House
Sweden
Приєднався 15 жов 2023
Hi there! We're Josie and Marcus and we bought our dream home in October 2023 after living in London, UK for 6 years. We have 3 hectares (7 acres) in the south of Sweden. In the coming years we will be renovating most of our buildings and doing fun projects on our new property. Thanks for following along!
Workshop organizing and building a work bench
In this video we’re cleaning and organizing our garage workshop, and finally building a work bench that allows me to clamp things to it. Winning!

Unexpected fireplace makeover

Unexpectedly replacing our fireplace and revamping the area around it 3 months after moving into our house. I tried masonry and angle grinding for the first time which was a whole lot of fun.

We finally tackled the task of fencing in our front yard so we can feel comfortable letting the dogs run around off lead. We used material we already had as well as some additional items we got from the hardware store.

Starting our bedroom renovation in our dream home in Sweden by taking down the shelving, dry wall, electrical components and studs. Going from having no idea what we are doing in this room to actually having a plan we're excited about. Enjoy and thank you for watching!

Our dream home in Sweden - House Tour
Переглядів 74 тис.Рік тому
We have just moved in to our dream home in the south of Sweden and here is our home tour. We take you through the house, barn, shed, garage and land to give a good starting point before we start our renovations and fun projects here.
How much did you pay for all this?
4,6 million SEK 😬 which is ok for the area, but we did end up in a bidding war with someone who clearly also wanted to buy this house 😂
The more rooms are in the house the better. I would never remoove that wall to make one large space. It is not easy to heat a big room. Anyway... Thanks for sharing!!
Not a problem for us, we have multiple building and no kids 😬😂 lots of individual rooms
Fantastic house and barn love the area as well!
Thank you 😊
Beautiful Dear ... Its a dream place. 🎉 Congratulations How much it cost you??
Around how much money did the entire house cost, if you dont mind saying? Asking because I also plan to move to Sweden to puchases a house under $100000
Ours was around 3,6 million SEK but that is mainly because of the location, we’re in the south and close to “bigger” cities and airports. Further north you can definitely find good houses for that money.
Lovely place ,must be cost a fortune to renovate.
Not really, we’re gonna do most of the work ourselves and the house was built in 1994 so the structure is really solid so only cosmetic fixes on the house itself really :) the cabin/shed needs a bit more love but that is a much smaller project at least :)
❤❤❤🇦🇺
Is it not disturbing if there is a lot of flying in the vicinity of your house?
Not at all :) I quite enjoy it, they are small propeller planes and it’s only for an hour here and there so it’s not all day every day :)
What kind of games does Marcus play?
Mostly CS right now I think, but he’s not super serious about it 😅
@@OurHomespunHouse that is nice, I work as a level designer and I have made official CS maps.
Love your work💪👌
Thank you 🙌
The shed would make a great guest house or a summer kitchen ☀️ Very nice home and thanks for showing me around! ❤love all your outdoor space. Much happiness from Minnesota USA
Thank you 😊 we will make the shed our music room and we’ve currently set up the office/barn for guests 🥰
this is really good be good to know the price as well lol
Around 3,6 million SEK :)
@@OurHomespunHouse wow thanks that's super cheap when converted to British pounds :-) sweden homes are so much cheaper than Uk and they're spacious i love it
They definitely are! Houses are much higher quality in Sweden as well, we moved from a London rental to this and we’re so much warmer and drier here.
@@OurHomespunHouse and the weather is better too you've made a good choice i'm jealous no doubt hahah enjoy!!
Congrats! You have a nice house in a very beautiful area. May I ask what the price for the property was and when you bought it? I'm guessing around 1 500 000 SEK... 🤔
Around 3,6 SEK 😬😂 but it differs a lot depending on where in Sweden you are located
@@OurHomespunHouse OMFG... i Hope you don't mean 3 600 000 SEK!
I sure do 😬 but we think it’s worth it and there were many bidders :)
@@OurHomespunHouse Ah ok, now I get it! Because of the high price, there must have been a lot of land included! That's usually the reason the price is that high for a house in the country side in Swe. How many ha is the land?
We have 3 ha of land. Proximity to cities and communities also play a huge role. We’re in the middle of the woods but we’re only 5 minutes from the store 😬🥰
That is great 😊 I am moving to Sweden by end of this year 🤞🏼
Cool! In a year there will be a full-fledged workshop with all the amenities
That’s the hope 🤞🏼😬
Great work! Love your "can do" attitude! If you are careful usually the worst thing that can happen is that you need to start again.
Поздравляю с классным приобретением! Я так понимаю это и для жизни, и для бизнеса. Экотуризм? Желаю удачи и развития!😊👍👋💗
Дякую за відео! Все - прекрасно! Житло, природа, песики. Я, мабудь, тут би написав роман.... так все чудово. А можливо і поселив би ще якогось письменника!😍
Hallo aus Brazil
Very beautiful house. You are happy people. Got bless You. Greetings from Slovakia.

Så kul att se filmerna! Bra och modigt gjort!
Tack ☺️
Where is it located? What was the price? Important information for your viewers!
U need a better audio system/mic
Yeah I know 🤪 I have one now so it will better sound for future videos
I'm going to leave my comment on this first video just to remember that this channel will make history.
I love your pups. They look so happy!
They love the new house and yard, so much space for running around 🥰
I would make that smallest room into a bath and closet area.
часто траву косите на дорогах?
It's very cool 👍. I'm glad for you) The place is very good. Is this Sweden? You speak English.
Yes this is Sweden :) I have lived abroad for many years and have a lot of friends across the world so I prefer to share in English so people can follow along with what we do :)
@@OurHomespunHouse are you American?
No, we’re both Swedish :)
How can i migrate to Sweden.i love Sweden
Good question, I’m not sure as I was born here ❤️
@@OurHomespunHouse ok.thanks..😍
You get an automatic thumbs up for the Shelties. The black and white one looks very close to my old smithy pal Toby. He was such a great pup. Thanks for sharing your property with us.
Shelties are the best 🥰
Must say it turned out to be a fantastic, better fireplace, very cozy! you are skilled.❄🤗
Thank you! 😊
Your shelties are so full of life. What bliss to walk them in your own woods.
They absolutely love it 🥰
Oh. My. Goodness!! Josie you are so brave and badass. The fireplace looks incredible! I would be way too scared to dive into all that but you are inspiring me to take on bigger projects around my house too ❤️
Thank you my friend! ❤️ do it!!! It’s so much fun, and definitely empowering 💪🏽
We have been watching a lot of people on UA-cam buying a house in Sweden and doing it up and then it showed us yours. You have the prettiest house I have seen there so far. Love that the garage is under the house. What area are you in? Good luck with all the work you have there.
Thank you 🙏🏼 We’re in north Skåne, Sweden
Just found you guys,thank you for sharing this experience,it looks lovely 🙂
Thanks for watching 🥰
Isn’t it amazing how Americans can afford to live wherever they want in the world? Like a virus? Or bacteria?
We’re both Swedish
@@OurHomespunHouse well you don’t sound it
What a great place ... Do you plan to keep horses ? You can go for a hack on your own property !
No we don’t, I grew up around horses but was never interested in riding myself. We are planning on getting chickens though 😍
@@OurHomespunHouse Nice ! You could keep goats as well ...saves a lot of mowing ...
Çok güzel bir doğanın içinde güzel çalışmalar.Başarılar dilerim
A tip from a bird lover: remove the plastic netting! It can get stuck in and even choke birds.
Congratulations! Can’t wait for more videos
Thank you so much 😊 more is coming, I’m just not very fast at cutting them 😬😂
You need a tractor with an Arger a true work horse ,
I would first dig up that garden area and only use screened soil ,to plant food in ,,Nice outside space,love it , nice to see what changes you decide, enjoy , better than the UK any day ,BLESS YOU BOTH , ,and thanks for showing us ,
You two look very tall...
Haha, Marcus is tall, I’m 164cm(5’4) :P
Beautiful home and property.
best wishes with your house project , it will be amazing
New... (sorry...)
Have a happy life in your mew house !!! Very beautiful. Best 👌 wishes for new year !!! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
What a beautiful area. You are so very fortunate to have it !
"Our dream home" - how can we change it? What people really mean is that the location is great. I've seen so many of theses lately and they rebuild or renovate so It's unrecognisable. It'll be interesting to see what you'll do.
True, in our case it’s our dream home because it checks so many boxes of what we wanted in a home, multiple buildings, woods, land for planting things, the house itself isn’t my dream house but all the other weigh so much more, because I can work on the house, and honestly that’s part of the dream too 🥰 plus this house is from 1994 so it doesn’t have any historical details to preserve really
I'm glad about that. No historical features to rip away. So many non-swedes moving here and just destroy the houses because it doesn't look like "home". This is another country with different rules and regulations. A guy who got a house up north changed all the windows without checking rules first and had to put the right windows back.
The yellow orange walls are beautiful ❤
