Hi Rosie, I loved your line about winter and spring enjoying their dance around each other a little longer! So poetic! I'm working my way through your videos, which I enjoy watching/listening to whilst I cook. I am aware however that soon I will catch up to present day and will have to be patient for each video!! I enjoy your calming online presence!
Rosie, you are an artist, an artisan, a philosopher and a poet. "Social expectations and restrictions kill my creativity," YES! "Winter and Spring are enjoying their dance around each other for just a bit longer." Beautifully described. I call that the Spring tease! The music accompanying the stark Winter beauty in your close ups of snow crystals and frozen flowers....the single note of a piano and its underlying melody. Every time you accomplish a new task, speak to that creative inner child with gentleness and encouragement and a 'good on you, mate' attitude. She deserves it.
I will make a recommendation. If you turn the topsoil upside down, the weeds will disappear. The soil will then be ready for planting, and you take advantage of the best part of your soil. Best wishes from Trond.
I just discovered your channel, and have been binge-watching your videos for the past couple days. I love how the quality has gradually improved, how you seem to be getting over your fear of imperfection, and how you have gotten more comfortable in front of the camera. Your sense of humor is coming out. This video was hilarious with all of inserted stain photos! 😂
Thank you for the gift of you Rosie. When I spend a bit of Sunday with you in the quiet and peace of your videos I find myself settled in a much needed calm iny heart. Thank you for taking all of us along,..for taking me.
I like how determined you are to focus not only on what is practical, but what is lovely, as well. A subliminal message in your videos seems to be, "Find a sweet balance."
I can't quite figure out why watching your videos is such a source of joy for me, but it really is. I'm very impressed with the decisions you've made on this little guest house redo. It looks great (at least on camera, hopefully in real life too).
Dear Rosie. I recently discovered your channel and enjoy it. You are a brave woman and I respect what you achieved. You are a great role model for many people. I also enjoy the calming vlogs you produce. Kudos to you and best wishes 🙏
It's very nice to see your progression and opening-up more. I quite like your sense of humour ! This unexpected stain colour turned-out to be quite nice. I hope the spring comes your way very soon, it will be the perfect timing for you to move into your guest house and start working on the main house over spring and summer. Well done Rosie, you're such an inspiration.
HAHA!! You are so sweet and cute in your excitement about how well your cottage is turning out! It looks wonderful. What a joy it will be for you to live there, and for guests to stay there. It was very wise of you to go to the effort of making it so lovely, allowing you to be comfortable while renovating your room in the main house.
Rosie, watching your channel has become my happy place. Your peaceful, thoughtful narration and lovery footage are so calming and inspiring. These are very difficult times in the USA and your channel is a wonderful escape.❤
We love the stain color! Hubby and I laughed out loud every time you put the original stain color sample on the screen 😂😂😂 Brilliantly done! It looks soooo lovely Rosie! ❤❤❤❤
Well I’ll be....you are not only ,in my estimation, a master carpenter but a comedian without trying. You are brilliant! I adore your personality and work ethics. A wow of a personality. You are so blessed my dear youngster ( I’m 84). Keep on just being you.❤️👍❤️🙏
You do such a great job renovating this house, beeing in a foreign country and without a car that would make things a lot easier! So inspiring! people can do a lot if they want to. In june i will be on sabbatical leave from my job in Germany and i decided to move to Värmland, Sweden for a few weeks to live in a little tiny house near the woods on my own. i am so excited, i sooo long for the peace and the quiteness of swedish nature.
I love the stain color. While it's cooler in tone I still think it warms up the space. It's coming along nicely! I also like that you lightened up the beige wall.
Rosie I so enjoy watching your renovating journey on you website. It’s all coming together beautifully in its own time. I’m a 77 year old widow and I want you to know that you are a beautiful soul inside and out.
Everything is looking great. I’m glad you stained the wood instead of painting it. It makes the place look warm and inviting. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Shelf bracket suggestion - use a thick tree branch as your bracket, cut ends on 45 angle - birch would be cool. I just think you could make use of the trees around you vs buying and hauling timber.
What I wouldn’t have given to see the expression on your mother’s face when she came back and saw what you’ve done to your home and guest house upon her return. It had to be priceless because you have far exceeded what most young ladies could accomplish! Kudos!
When I stain raw wood, I always use a wood conditioner first. It seems to give a truer color with the stain. Raw wood is very porous, and the grain also absorbs the stain differently in different areas. The conditioner takes care of that. I know, it is an extra step, but the results are worth it.
May we suggest you round the piece of wood that is in the corner across from the desk ( which is really cute) 😊if it’s rounded it can still be ok to put a little sink on it, actually it will be better rounded than how it is now…..a pointy awkward edge sticking out, because it will be so easy to bump into it as one walks in to your tiny guest house.
Hej Rosie, wow so creative- truly amazing as Lilla stuga progresses. Charming and very warm- the plants lighten the spirit- stove must come later- need warmth in winter. Best- Peter
Rosie you are the cutest girl! I love your genuine humor and loving life as it comes! Your perfectionist standards are helping you build this adorable and amazing space while still realizing you need to be flexible. I love, love your channel and have followed you for over a year. I think the stain is perfect as it is! It looks like it belongs. your shelves are amazing. Can't wait to see you finish.
Hi Rosie! I really like what you're doing by yourself, well done!! Just a suggestion for when you have to sand wood by hand: it could be helpful and easier to wrap the sandpaper around a small square or rectangular piece of wood...more sanding surface in contact with wood and greater accuracy! Cheers :)
I LOVE the color of the stain. I know it looks different on video to us. So proud of all you have accomplished! Inspires me to try. Love the ariel shots Have a GREAT day Rosie!
I look forward to your sweet videos every week at this time. I'm sitting back with my morning coffee and just delighting in getting to see all you have done in the past week and I feel like I have a young friend. Keep up the work girl!! I hope your subscribers multiply like crazy.
I still love the Stain. It's not a whole lot darker the tone is just different, but looks great!! Your simple style is beautiful Rosie. Excited to see the finished product.
Great job! Stain is like that! It does look different on different varieties of wood, but THAT was SO much darker than it should have been! Still beautiful!
I think you are going to love living in your beautiful , new space. I can’t imagine how proud you must feel to know that you have accomplished so much on your own and without anything other than your bicycle and walking power! I couldn’t have done it ,nor put up with being cold either. Well done, Rosie…it’s all looking great xx
Hi Rosie, oh my gosh so much snow!!! We had rain for a while week, it drove me nuts... The stain looks Nice, i like the liter one... And the guesthouse looks snug... Thkx for showing me.. Take care. Live from holland😍
Your videos are so therapeutic and inspiring! I find myself feeling overwhelmed when it comes to starting new projects, but your calmness in tackling your home renovations helps me channel positive energy into my own goals. Your little guest house is looking absolutely fantastic! Can't wait for your next video.
I’m a fellow redhead living in Manchester U.K. I’ve only just found your channel and I’m really enjoying watching your channel and creations. I did a summerhouse project in 2020 that I really enjoyed similar to your guest house. I find it so satisfying to build and create with wood etc. I built some decking steps last weekend and this weekend I’m building a planter for food. I can’t wait to see how the rest of your project develops. Thank you for sharing with us. X
All part of Living in Scandinavia - you can have up to 3-4 seasonal weather per day and even here in Copenhagen we have had our snow, hail, storm and rain. And no we never quite get used to it. Succes’s with your renovation and respect for your ability to handle both this and the distance to travel in order to shop. 🤗🇩🇰 Looks super with the shelves!
Bit by bit it comes together and it is joy to see with so little tools you build your dream, RESPECT. I have a little advice for your handsanding, wrap the sandpaper around a piece of sqare timber offcut and then sand. Your fingers will not hurt so much and you don`t get so much splinters in them while sanding roughsawn timber. Thanks for sharing.
Rosie, I just love you! That dizzy spin at the end was priceless. Your designs truly intrigue me. I just hope spring comes to Sweden soon. Can’t wait to see the finished space.
Rosie, for the shelve brackets you could imitate a keyhole in the back with a small drilled hole with a larger drilled hole beneath it at the same depth. Put your screw in the wall, place the bracket with the large hole on the screw then slide it down to sit on the screw in the smaller hole. Just make sure the small hole is smaller that the screw head.
I look forward to watching your videos every Sunday morning 😊. I think adding the white to the sand color was a good move, I like that color better. And the stain, I like how it looks a lot! The color you thought it might be might have been too yellow against the sand color. Anyway, it’s all coming together so nicely…yay!! Btw, are you going to put in a screen door for summer? That would be so cute!
Not only do I admire your perseverance and ability to renovate, learn new skills and improve your dwelling to a fine minimalist appearance, but also having good taste. I’ve noticed you have a Japanese Ukiyo-e print in your kitchen. Can’t make out the details and I’m not sure who the artist is, but it looks like a nice one. I personally have an original print by Utagawa Kunisada which I bought few years ago, it’s precious to me. The other piece you have I’ve noticed is a reproduction of a painting by Henri Rousseau I believe called “the equatorial jungle “. This artist I know well and admire. Coincidentally I have a reproduction of one of his work his but it’s called “ The sleeping gypsy”. Congratulations on good progress in the guest house. Looking good. Be well. A 73 retired art and French teacher.
I love the shade of stain and much prefer it over the sample! Great job on the space so far. It will be so lovely to have a good space to move into while rehabbing the room in the house.
I love the new camera, the drone shots, you voice-over comments who touch me, the better sound quality, the music you use, the sound mixing. Those are much much much better than 48 videos ago and thank you for that. You are becoming a pro of video production. Next step, becoming a pro of renovation ;-).
Rosie that guest house looks absolutely fantastic. What a difference! Thanks for what you've shared here. I reckon it's helping me destress in the best possible way. So glad I found your channel.
It's a challenge to get a golden oak color from an oak sample to be the same on pine or any other wood for that matter. Mixing a few wood tones wouldn't be a bad thing. I suggest taking a few scrap pieces of wood your primarily using with you to the hardware store and do test straps of colors on your wood pieces for best results. Your getting there, don't lose hope it's all in the journey so enjoy :D
Unfortunately I couldn't find these stains in a shop, but also there's no in-store stain testing here... And this brand doesn't even do samples! So it was going to be gamble either way...
My dad did just that with the brackets. Making them out of wood. He had a friend who had a saw that could make them a little less triangular, but That was a good 30 years ago and there still holding strong. You're place is going to be lovely.
I know the colour of the stain is far from advertised but I really like it. Your new little home will be a wonderful place for you to retire to after a long days work in the ‘big’ house!
I love how you'd had enough functional in the guest house for the time being and so opted to throw in some aesthetics so as to assure yourself there would be a worthwhile outcome for all the laboriousness expended - three times being the charm on the shelving conquest. Huff! 😉Just when you thought spring had sprung good, ole Mr. Fister rains on your parade, albeit an icy rain, but nonetheless a dander-flaring deterrent. 😔 I'm proud of you, buddy. Every day is one step closer to your own personal Xanadu. I look forward to that day when your dream is complete.
Winter just doesn't want to let go, I've been waking up to snow for the past couple of mornings luckily it melts by afternoon. I love your videos! Hello from Montana.
Your guest house is so charming! I love the way that you are designing and styling it. I live in the mountains in California, and the same thing happened to us last week with an unexpected snowfall in the midst of a clear and sunny forecast. It was lovely, but like you, I am ready for some warmer weather. Thank you for sharing your life with us…I look forward to your beautiful videos each week.
Hi Rosie, I just found your channel and am impressed with your adventure in the woods. I’m an old guy now and my adventures are in the past. Watching your new life gives me great pleasure, and I look forward to your future. Good luck and best wishes.
I love that you are sharing your home evolution with us. I found myself sharing in your joy that the little guest house was coming together as you had envisioned it.
Your hairs is different !👍, when drilling brackets don’t put arm or hands behind ,as if it slipped ,you’ll hurt yourself ,let the clamp hold the wood 👌 it’s starting to look good in the cabin 😘 great sense of humour with the stain 😂😂, living the dream 🇬🇧 spring is on its way 🤗
I'm probably just reading too much into subtext here Rosie, but I can't shake the feeling that the stain isn't quite what you were expecting!😂 Looks really good though!
Hi Rosie, I LOVE how cute the guest house is getting. Wow! How fun. It'll be like going on an adventure without leaving home. The rustic element of the stain is actually a happy accident. It looks really nice. Maybe if you add a little bit of red in the bedding--like a pillow or something--the woodwork will serve as a visual balance between warm and cool. Looks really good. :)
April 1st and we got a terrific snow storm here too. People were so disappointed. It seems like spring is taking it's sweet old time this year. Ontario, Canada says hello. I love watching you renovate. I hope you never stop.
The guest house is looking fantastic, I can truly picture how it will look when finished. I am so glad that you are going to have a nice space to live in while you work on the remodel in the house. It will be much better than trying to live in the house while you work on your living space. Great job. I am hoping Spring will soon come and you won’t get any more surprise snowfalls. See you next week. Take care.
Hi, you are cute, brave, talented and seem happy by yourself. You should be proud of all your achievements. I hope one day not too far away it will be my turn. Congratulations on your new extension of your beautiful home. You can make it your office/living area, reading, so many options. If you put a sofa, make sure it's also a place to sleep. Just in case you get too tired to go to your own bed.
I love it! You are so creative. It’s soothing and relaxing to watch the transformation. The background music is simple and fitting. Can’t wait to see next weeks video 😊
Tiny House is so charming. You are very talented and so sweet. I really enjoy your progress and creativity. I think I like the colour of the shelves better than the original choice!
Since wild flowers don't want rich soil you are probably doing by taking the grass out. If you stack the cut out soil in layers of grass to grass and let breakdown over time you will create good mulch. Monty Don showed this technique
Hi Rosie, lovely to see you again this week, really enjoy your films. I do a fair bit of house renos and DIY with my husband and when the mitre saw is used for a very long piece of wood e.g. skirting board, we move the mitre saw around, sometimes to one end of the table so we can prop up the end of the long piece of wood on blocks of wood, bricks or whatever is handy, it works, it stops the “see saw” affect. Hope that explanation makes sense!☺️
“Winter and spring are enjoying their dance around each other for just a bit longer.”
This, combined with the drone footage, is just perfect.
You are hiLARious flashing that stain sample repeatedly! But ultimately the guest house looks adorable.
Hi Rosie, I loved your line about winter and spring enjoying their dance around each other a little longer! So poetic! I'm working my way through your videos, which I enjoy watching/listening to whilst I cook. I am aware however that soon I will catch up to present day and will have to be patient for each video!!

"Winter and Spring are enjoying their dance around each other for just a bit longer." Beautifully described. I call that the Spring tease!

I will make a recommendation.

and you take advantage of the best part of your soil. Best wishes from Trond.

Same. Have been watching last 2 weeks, whenever I have a spare moment. Need to start rationing the episodes 😂
Snow! and that is why the voice in your heart said "forget the wood, get lots of food supplies" He helps us take care of ourselves Rosie!
Thank you for the gift of you Rosie. When I spend a bit of Sunday with you in the quiet and peace of your videos I find myself settled in a much needed calm iny heart. Thank you for taking all of us along,..for taking me.

hahaha in real life it's a little crooked, but I've learned to avoid looking at it by now :)
@@wildrosiehow can we buy you coffee or send you your favourite tea from UK ( fellow Londoner here)

Well I’ll be....you are not only ,in my estimation, a master carpenter but a comedian without trying. You are brilliant! I adore your personality and work ethics. A wow of a personality. You are so blessed my dear youngster ( I’m 84). Keep on just being you.❤️👍❤️🙏
You do such a great job renovating this house, beeing in a foreign country and without a car that would make things a lot easier! So inspiring! people can do a lot if they want to.

Ooow that was a brilliant idea!
wow so nice, love Värmland!
I love the stain color. While it's cooler in tone I still think it warms up the space. It's coming along nicely! I also like that you lightened up the beige wall.
I think only you can see the crooked shelves but if so it just adds to the charm. I love them 😄
Rosie I so enjoy watching your renovating journey on you website. It’s all coming together beautifully in its own time. I’m a 77 year old widow and I want you to know that you are a beautiful soul inside and out.
This will be the cutest and the tiniest of all tiny houses!
Everything is looking great. I’m glad you stained the wood instead of painting it. It makes the place look warm and inviting. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

I love the stain… more of a walnut - nice!
The tiny guest house looks amazing! I love, love that stain, it looks so warm. Cant wait to see it finished. Great work.
I love to watch the progress on your builds. Build, change, try again….good enough. It looks great! Your filming is inspiring and relaxing!
I actually like the stain a lot! Everything looks really nice.
May we suggest you round the piece of wood that is in the corner across from the desk ( which is really cute) 😊if it’s rounded it can still be ok to put a little sink on it, actually it will be better rounded than how it is now…..a pointy awkward edge sticking out, because it will be so easy to bump into it as one walks in to your tiny guest house.
I was going to suggest this also.
Me too .
I was thinking the exact same thing! 😊
Great idea! 👍🏻
👍😃 Def a good idea😉
Hej Rosie, wow so creative- truly amazing as Lilla stuga progresses. Charming and very warm- the plants lighten the spirit- stove must come later- need warmth in winter. Best- Peter
The tenacity ….the courage….. you have is just awsome love watching you every week. ❤
I really like the color of your stain. It goes really good with your other colors. Remember there is no heat in there and your plants might freeze.
Rosie you are the cutest girl! I love your genuine humor and loving life as it comes! Your perfectionist standards are helping you build this adorable and amazing space while still realizing you need to be flexible. I love, love your channel and have followed you for over a year. I think the stain is perfect as it is! It looks like it belongs. your shelves are amazing. Can't wait to see you finish.
Great idea/job on the shelf brackets. It’s all coming together nicely. Love it all

Nice to hear you like it! It is a nice colour luckily, I was just really keen to have a nice mid, warm colour…. Oh well!
I look forward to your sweet videos every week at this time. I'm sitting back with my morning coffee and just delighting in getting to see all you have done in the past week and I feel like I have a young friend. Keep up the work girl!! I hope your subscribers multiply like crazy.
Doing the same! Coffee and Rosie
Me as well! Afternoon coffee and Rosie
I still love the Stain. It's not a whole lot darker the tone is just different, but looks great!! Your simple style is beautiful Rosie. Excited to see the finished product.
You have to add more than one coat of stain if you want it darker.
The shelves look great! This little cottage is just adorable!
Rustic was what I was thinking too, tho a beautiful rustic. Like who wouldn't want to cuddle up in that beautiful, cozy cabin!!
Great job! Stain is like that! It does look different on different varieties of wood, but THAT was SO much darker than it should have been! Still beautiful!
Maybe a small portable heater would be nice for the guest house. The shelving looks great.
There are little tiny wood stoves that would heat the space nicely.
I think you are going to love living in your beautiful , new space. I can’t imagine how proud you must feel to know that you have accomplished so much on your own and without anything other than your bicycle and walking power! I couldn’t have done it ,nor put up with being cold either. Well done, Rosie…it’s all looking great xx
My fav time of day is watching your vlogs.... Thank you
Hi Rosie, oh my gosh so much snow!!!
We had rain for a while week, it drove me nuts...
The stain looks Nice, i like the liter one...
And the guesthouse looks snug...

I love the shade of stain and much prefer it over the sample! Great job on the space so far. It will be so lovely to have a good space to move into while rehabbing the room in the house.

Every day is one step closer to your own personal Xanadu. I look forward to that day when your dream is complete.
That space is going to be really cute! Great job, Rosie!
Love how the guest house is coming along
You are a great designer,I just love your kitchen ❤. Really there isn’t anything I don’t like that you have done . Well done Rosie.
Winter just doesn't want to let go, I've been waking up to snow for the past couple of mornings luckily it melts by afternoon. I love your videos! Hello from Montana.
Your guest house is so charming! I love the way that you are designing and styling it. I live in the mountains in California, and the same thing happened to us last week with an unexpected snowfall in the midst of a clear and sunny forecast. It was lovely, but like you, I am ready for some warmer weather. Thank you for sharing your life with us…I look forward to your beautiful videos each week.
You are so independent and ingenious to some of the things you come up with. 💗
Hi Rosie, I just found your channel and am impressed with your adventure in the woods. I’m an old guy now and my adventures are in the past. Watching your new life gives me great pleasure, and I look forward to your future. Good luck and best wishes.
Love it all...girl you amaze...COME ON SPRING...!!!
It’s sunny right now! I think it might actually be happening haha!
Looking amazing
I love that you are sharing your home evolution with us. I found myself sharing in your joy that the little guest house was coming together as you had envisioned it.
The swatches of stain colour popping up every time you mention it 😂 good job 👏👌🙏
Your hairs is different !👍, when drilling brackets don’t put arm or hands behind ,as if it slipped ,you’ll hurt yourself ,let the clamp hold the wood 👌 it’s starting to look good in the cabin 😘 great sense of humour with the stain 😂😂, living the dream 🇬🇧 spring is on its way 🤗
You are so inspirational. Im a DIY woman myself but your work is so tidy and no shortcuts ever 🤩 Envy that personality trait ❤
Rosie, the tiny house looks so pretty. You did an awesome job!❤️
I'm probably just reading too much into subtext here Rosie, but I can't shake the feeling that the stain isn't quite what you were expecting!😂 Looks really good though!
Hi Rosie, I LOVE how cute the guest house is getting. Wow! How fun. It'll be like going on an adventure without leaving home. The rustic element of the stain is actually a happy accident. It looks really nice. Maybe if you add a little bit of red in the bedding--like a pillow or something--the woodwork will serve as a visual balance between warm and cool. Looks really good. :)
April 1st and we got a terrific snow storm here too. People were so disappointed. It seems like spring is taking it's sweet old time this year. Ontario, Canada says hello. I love watching you renovate. I hope you never stop.
The guest house is looking fantastic, I can truly picture how it will look when finished. I am so glad that you are going to have a nice space to live in while you work on the remodel in the house. It will be much better than trying to live in the house while you work on your living space. Great job. I am hoping Spring will soon come and you won’t get any more surprise snowfalls. See you next week. Take care.
Hi, you are cute, brave, talented and seem happy by yourself. You should be proud of all your achievements. I hope one day not too far away it will be my turn. Congratulations on your new extension of your beautiful home. You can make it your office/living area, reading, so many options. If you put a sofa, make sure it's also a place to sleep. Just in case you get too tired to go to your own bed.
I love it! You are so creative. It’s soothing and relaxing to watch the transformation. The background music is simple and fitting. Can’t wait to see next weeks video 😊
The NO DIG GARDEN is worth looking into - no digging required!
Tiny House is so charming. You are very talented and so sweet. I really enjoy your progress and creativity. I think I like the colour of the shelves better than the original choice!
The shelves look really nice, very good addition. You did a great job on the design, it's a cute little Guest Cottage. Nicely Done!
Editing in the stain color swatches had me rolling Lolol. Your videos are always beautiful and inspiring!
You have done a great job on that tiny guest house. You will be comfortable while remodeling your sleeping quarters in the main house. Enjoy!
I so feel you for the snow...Morin Heights Québec, April 3rd, still 5ft of snow on my land...but it's beautiful.......hang in there.......
Since wild flowers don't want rich soil you are probably doing by taking the grass out. If you stack the cut out soil in layers of grass to grass and let breakdown over time you will create good mulch. Monty Don showed this technique
Loving this! You're a really great designer Rosie.
Love your channel. It would be cool to see your surroundings, the village close by, the stores, etc when you go for errands.
Something happened ...and it...just snowed 😁😁😂😂😂😂 I love your light hearted energy- keep doing what you do. x
Hi Rosie, lovely to see you again this week, really enjoy your films. I do a fair bit of house renos and DIY with my husband and when the mitre saw is used for a very long piece of wood e.g. skirting board, we move the mitre saw around, sometimes to one end of the table so we can prop up the end of the long piece of wood on blocks of wood, bricks or whatever is handy, it works, it stops the “see saw” affect. Hope that explanation makes sense!☺️
