- Hello, and welcome to our home ❤️
I promised a home tour of our house that we moved into four months ago, so here it is! I walk through the entire house, tell about its history, how people used to live here a hundred years ago and what are my favorite things here.
I did forget to show you the most important thing in a Scandinavian home, our outdoor sauna and of course our music studio that we just finished in an old barn so maybe I'll have to make another tour video soon 🙈
All the best to you all ❤️

I'm a nature lover and creative soul living far North of Finland. I live in a remote village, in an old farmhouse, travel in the North, and seek inspiration in the wild nature around me.
I create photographs, videos, and music, inspired by this Nordic nature and its magic.
Welcome to my world 💛

I feel like UA-cam opened a portal to where fair maidens from times long past, flowers and peace prevail.
This video proves why Finland is the happiest country in the world❤️🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
AMEN !
Lucky people who can keep a lot of history in their houses from 1845. Best regards from Ukraine
Nobody cares about your fake country
Eres hermosa
Are you in a safe place?
What a beautiful home. You are a remarkable young woman. Greetings from Indiana
My grandmother was from that part of Finland. Glad to see how beautiful it is.👍❤️😄
My husband and I live in a farmhouse which is 135 years old and you are correct that old houses have a special atmosphere. I feel that they have a heart and soul which newer homes don't have. We've also found interesting old tools and objects around our farm which had been abandoned and forgotten. I like to think about how they were used in the past and the stories behind them. Thank you for sharing your home with me. It is lovely and warm and welcoming, as are you.
You speak English beautifully... Thank you so much for that! You knitted those socks? OMG! The designs and details...You are very talented. Your house is "STURDY BUILT" IT will last a very, very long time...Homes are not built in this way anymore. Your home is made out of real strong materials. It is Christmas Season now, and I am hoping that if you celebrate it, you will post us a video of your traditional decorations...It has been a pleasure to see how others live in foreign lands... Thank you for your hard work, effort, and your time! Greetings from middle Georgia, USA!!!
Thank you so much ☺❤ I hope a wonderful Christmas time to you beyond the big sea 🥰💙
Its home sweet home that's all that matters 🏡
🇺🇸🇫🇮
I love your home and how you appreciate its crookedness. we need more human beings like you on the planet. thanks for your videos, they are great!
I just found you tonight, purely by accident. This was fantastic to watch. Thank you . (from America)👋🏻👋🏻
Dear Sanna, met you in your blog about washing sweaters in the snow, then went with you on a ski into the quiet forest, and then the arrival of the seeds. Now my third visit with you the tour of your new - 4 mo in the home. Love your home, as an old soul you are connected with all the life lived in your home Beginning in the 1800’s . Many floor plans in our country combine an open kitchen / family room concept with a fire place. Something’s never change. Also antiques are used for decorations. 👀 looking forward to your updated pictures that you will hang on the wall. ❤
hello Sanna....hello Finland...You speak beautifully and charmingly...thanks for your interesting video...❤❤❤
I am in agreement with you on the “not perfect home”. Mine is crooked also.
I say, perfectly imperfect is pretty perfectly pleasing. Side note, this is the best rule for cakes also. Your home is so welcoming and clean and tidy and perfect and beautiful. Old homes are just so special.
I love the sweaters you knit, they are so beautiful! You are very talented. Your house is very warm and inviting. I'm form Argentina and live in northern California. The infinite differences of our life experience as humans is fascinating to me. Thank you for giving us a glimps into your life.
Thank you for opening your lovely home to us, Sanna! This is only the second video of yours that I have watched, and I look forward to seeing more. I find peace in listening to your sweet voice and looking at your pretty face while you are narrating your videos. This is my perfect antidote to de-stressing after a long day at the office. With gratitude for your art and your music ~ Beverly in Boulder, Colorado USA
I, too, am new. I subscribed right after seeing the video on “snow washing”. You are so sweet and your home is beautiful. Imperfections in older, well built homes give it character and warmth. I love that fireplace, too ❤ Finland looks beautiful!
This is the first video I have seen of yours, and I am so impressed! Your house is so charming and historical. I imagine there’s a sense of respect and reverence about the place.
Thank you so much, and welcome to my little corner of the world ☺❤ This house does feel like it has a soul of its own. We are here just trespassing in this house ☺
The purplish flowers at the beginning and end were so nice to see. Fireweed, I haven’t seen since I lived in Yukon, Canada in 1962.
Beautiful old house with history. Watching from Australia from an older house. Love that musical instrument, your scenery, dog & reindeer. Glad to have found your channel.
I like the fact that you use the world universal fix of duct tape on your door. I also like the masonry heater you fixed. I'm also glad that you have kept the hand tools. You will have them if you need to use them. I like your house and your unicorn reindeer. I'm glad the house has such a good inhabitant. Happy for you.
I had not realized that you DID find your dream house. It is very very special and I love it! The house has its own personality. It is both humble yet majestic in its own way. The stone fireplaces add such a unique aspect to the home. They seem to be coaxing a person to just revel in the moment, accept their simplicity and functionality. They were built for a purpose which they are fulfilling even up until this day. My country worships youth, but there is a great depth of wisdom in the elderly and deep meaning to be absorbed
That is so beautifully said 😍❤
Such a lovely home. Thanks for the wonderful tour. The flowers are beautiful, too. I wish you great happiness!
Lovely home Sanna :) My Grandparents had a long entry room followed by a secondary entry room in the home they built in the US. Many of our ancestors are from Sweden and Finland and came here several generations back. I have always found it amazing that even after all this time away from the far north so many of the traditions, style choices and cultural habits live on. My grandmother had handmade rag rugs like yours all over her home. There was a massive oval one under the dining table. Of all the things we still practice I especially love Fika, knitting, any activity involving snow and immersing myself in nature whenever I have the opportunity. Thank you for the tour and explanations I enjoyed it a lot.
💖In English the main room of our homes in the US is often called "living room" or "great room" which is more common if the dining area and tv fireplace area are combined together.
I just found your page and wow, you inspire me!! Everything you do is beautiful. I like in America (North Dakota) and often despise the winter months. Your view on winter and seasons is so hopeful to me. Can’t wait to follow along more!🫶
Your house is so cosy, Sanna! I love all the old wood and the quirky fireplaces 🤍. I used to live in a 150 year old house that was part of a wood mill. It’s fun to imagine what life was like in such places when they were first built. They’re very “soulful” 🥰.
Thank you for sharing 🤍🤍
Oh, wow. That sounds like an amazing place you have lived in 😍 Thank you for being here with me 🥰
Thank you for miraculous sounds at the end😘
....ich finde es gut wenn man die Antiken Dinge verwahrt oder sogar nach 150 Jahren noch nutzt -- das nenne ich nachhaltigkeit !!!! Weiter so 👍👍👍
Ooooh such a beautiful house! And the garden with the reindeer in the grarden!! Everything around you reflects you.... thank you for sharing this.❤
Thank you so much 🥰❤
I love your old house. Beautiful! I grew up in a house that was built in 1889, I loved it! Your large room, we would call it the great room. Great rooms here consist of the family room, dining room and kitchen. Thank you so much for the tour, just lovely!
Thank you 🥰💙 Ah, great room sounds a bit like we call it. Maybe I'll start using that words, thanks!
Nice and peaceful home. I never thought wooden houses could ever last so long being so open to the weather.
Wood is amazing! It lasts as long as it can dry after getting wet from snow and rain ☺️
You have a lovely home. It is remarkable how old it is and still liveable. Your sweaters are beautiful and your dog so sweet. Thank you for showing us your unique and beautiful home.
I just discovered your channel and I can't believe what an amazing country Finland is. I'm following a couple of ladies, one lives in Helsinki and the other one just outside of Helsinki. Your part of Finland is totally different. The nature in your country is so beautiful. You are a lovely lady and your dog Papu is so sweet. Your house is amazing. I love your lifestyle. Please keep producing more of these videos. For those of us who live in big cities (Sydney, Australia) your part of the world is like an escape from the madness of the rat race and all the traffic and rushing around. I wish you and your spouse a happy and healthy new year. ❤🍀
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your smile is absolutely lovely. Your house reminds me of my grandparents' home in Pyhäjärvi. The pirtti looked very similar, but their tupa was smaller. Your videos are wonderful and I look forward to seeing more of your idyllic life. Terveisiä Floridasta!
Thanks for taking us along with you.
thank you so much. Absolutely lovely!
Привет! Я из России. Ваше видио понравилось. Снежная зима очень здорово. А ваши вязанные вещи прекрасны🎉
Beautiful nature. Dream house!
Thank you for the tour of your home. It looks very comfortable and solidly built. I like the old stove in the kitchen as well as the fireplaces. You will have to tend the fires in the winter. Your music at the end was very nice, thank you!
❤ that house needs you just as much as you need it ....lovely!
Dear Sanna, this is just lovely!
Your home is beautiful! I love the 175-year history, which is something I hope you will continue to share.
How beautiful and cozy !! thank you for sharing !!!
Thank you for the tour, so lovely!
I love your house so traditional and love that it has not been changed. You are delightful and so is your dog and the sage room is pretty with your wild flowers in a vase. Glad you now have hot water!
Thank you for sharing. I love vintage things, log cabins, moutain and lake views.
Creating our dreams, one vision at a time. Very neat old home. Yay!!!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
I just found your channel and have enjoyed your video. You have a beautiful home and the ways you have honored its past and its history should be gratifying. It is true when you say that nothing in nature has straight lines, so why should the house. Simplicity brings a sense of comfort to our everyday lives.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! What a blessing that you have such an old home. I appreciate how much you care and love your home and respect the history. So many people do not and wipe away the magic by remodeling too much. I totally agree with you about beauty in the natural lines that curve . 😊❤
I am becoming obsessed with your channel. Your amazing, beautiful house reminded me my early childhood time when I lived with my great uncle in the rural Lithuania. The aesthetic, the wild flowers are very similar.
What a lovely home - thanks you so much for showing us!
You have such a special soul! ❤
Thanks for sharing your imperfectly perfect home❤
You have a wonderful home. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for showing us your beautiful house. It’s wonderful and your setup is very comfortable looking.
You are such a kind and gentle person, it is a pleasure to watch your videos and admire your way of life. I live in Australia where the very warm climate gives us a completely different lifestyle and outlook. I am originally from the UK and have pale skin with blue eyes, and so try to keep out of the bright sunshine during the hottest time of the day.
I will continue to watch each video you make,as they are so relaxing and interesting.
This was the sweetest video, I’m so happy to have found your channel. Your home is exquisite and that fireplace, I understand your feeling about it. It’s wonderful! Thank you for the beauty! 💜🙏🌸
Your home is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤😊
A beautiful traditional Farm House in Northern Finland. I love the irregular fireplaces (ovens) with their frosted stones, wildflowers, candle holders, windows, woolen sweaters you knitted, and the different chambers. The Unicorn Reindeer munching on the wildflowers is enchanting! Thank you for sharing. Jenny USA 💜❤💙
Your home is lovely. Thank you for sharing!

What a beautiful home and are! It looks so peaceful. I love all things old too! Everything in my home has a story and a history..including the home. Thank you for sharing your home and way of life with us….i would Love to see what the bathroom looks like🤗❤️
I enjoyed the tour of your home, Sanna. My husband and I live in a newly built home (by necessity), but my soul resonates with the old. We live in the beautiful mountains located in the eastern part of America. We also have a wood stove to keep us warm and toasty in the winter. I love that nod to the past. I would call your big room which you had no English word for the “great room.” It’s a newer term in America for a multi-functional, usually larger room often toward the middle of the home where family and friends gather to eat and spend time together. Again, thanks for the tour. 😊
Lovely home...you're so very lucky to be able to live there and have that soothing lifestyle. Bless You!
Thank you Sanna. Good night.
Love this video and your beautiful home ❤
Such a refreshing and interesting tour of your Finish home with its history and old charm. I love fireplaces, and flowers on the window sills that radiate a warm and homey feel. Having a cat, dog, or, rabbit, etc. to share my life with while watching nature outside from a cozy room adds serenity to life.
Thank you for your pleasant tour. - In appreciation by a Viking of 3 to 5+ generations ago - a combination of 4 Scandinavian countries.
My visiting Scandinavia on a tour in 1990 was a dream come true.
Scandinavia reminds me somewhat of my origins - New England (Massachusetts). I miss the quietness of the winter landscape then the welcoming of springtime.
Greetings from Southern California. (Hoping to move back to New England)
I’m thankful for your beautiful new home! It fits your heart perfectly. As if made for you. Who knows…the building may have begun being built when the cornerstone was laid. Thanks for sharing your heart through your home.
Merci pour cette visite ! J’aime l’élégance de la simplicité d’une maison que l’on sent tellement chaleureuse !
Une vidéo dépaysante, pour moi qui suis française et qui vit en Bretagne. 😊❤
How lovely a home. Just lovely.
Какой у вас красивый и надежный дом! Это счастье жить в нем!
