A Jill of all trades, masonry, carpentry, metal worker, electrician, decorator, etc. Not to mention artistic, creative & self sufficient. Just Wow! Very Impressive.
You left out Gardening and canning. Even makes kombucha. I just started watching Johanna, and will share her with my friends and family. She is one amazing lady❤
Beautiful area! I wanted to live in a place like that, but war old, so I chose the next best thing. I live in the middle of a small town, with mostly lawns, but a few days after I moved here I asked city hall for permission to turn my yard into a wildlife habitat. 17 years later, it's a farm in the middle of town, with lots of trees, fruits and small criatures. I am 75, now renovating my house and separate cottage/art studio. Great ideas for my cottage!
I only meet you today... Better later than ever 😉 I am from Italy so excuse me for the language... I think you are just a materialized Angel to teach US the real love. Thank you Joanna for the feeling! bye from Italy Simona 🌼
I stumble across one of your videos at the lowest moments of my life , I was going thru a separation , and you have no idea how much peace and tranquillity your videos have brought me ❤so thank you so much for taking us to a magical place where one can forget all pain 🥲
I don't even know where to begin. First, thank you for such a wonderful Christmas gift to us by producing this video. One can see it took an enormous amount of dedicated work on your part. It's a stunning home that was just wsiting for someone with your talents and ecpertise to bring it to life. The countryside is so beautiful, the house has such history and character. You just continue to amaze us with your construction talents supplemented with that heavenly and besutiful woman's touch. Your videos are just so compelling and interesting. You are such a gifted lady and we are lucky we have you on UA-cam. I wish you much success with this new channel. You are simply one of a kind. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Enjoy that new home. 🙂❤🙏👍
Thank you very much for your kind comment, Nick! You are a wonderful friend! Glad the video brought you joy and it felt like a gift that is being opened (not sure if I wrote this right)! Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!🙏🙂
@@JohannasDreamHome MA'AM BLESSINGS FROM PUERTO RICO. YOU ARE EVERY WOMAN THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A HARD WORKER WOMAN FEMININE AND RESPECTFULLY LOVING THE HOME AS IT WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO LOVE IT AND IT'S AROUND IT'S JUST SO MUCH LOVE AND POSITIVE ENERGY I'M SO INTRIGUED AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS SEE YOU ON THE NEXT ONE REMEMBER YOU ARE EVERY WOMAN LOVE AND BLESSINGS
I would rather have a cottage in the woods than the largest mansion on earth. Such a cozy, peaceful sanctuary. The world according to Johanna....ahhhhhhhhh
I just found this video. I was getting ready for work and this just popped up on my UA-cam. I have no words. This is inspiring! I hope anyone reading this knows that if you have a dream about something, then it's not too late to get up and start working on. Thank you for making this!
You have turned a cold,empty cottage into a beautiful,warm home.Once again your skills amaze me.I love all your little touches that soften and make this house a real home.
I wish there were more people like you in the world. You are exceptionally inspiring to the soul. Thank you for sharing your life. Can I be your neighbor?
🌳Johanna your a one woman construction crew , its truly amazing what you've done , the hard work you've put into everything ,making a house , a home , with every detail that makes up every aspect of You🌹bringing it back to life. Your pretty as a flower 🌼 but your stronger than steel. Did ya keep the kitty ? it was a cute little thing
Methinks you are a real life faerie, and I love how you brought your family cottage back to life - pure magick, not to mention the hard work in learning all those skills and collecting all the tools. Thanks so much, you are totally enchanting!
Finally! I'm 70 years old and now I finally understand what a girl crush is !!!! Yea, I got one!!! lololololol. I love your tools. I like having my own tools. Last year I finally got a drill press.. I have been wishing for a planner for the longest time but goodness $$$. My husband seems to like my tools as well 🤨.. I suppose I shouldn't be so stingy lol. Then came you're pretty feminine touches . They were just so sweet and beautiful. Isn't it just amazing ideas and imagination is/are? You could take a thousand people and each will have a million ideas and everyone will be different. Amazing ideas never run out. But yours sit aside and out front. I thoroughly appreciate each and every idea that you shared. I'm glad that I waited till I could sit down with my wine and watch. Thank you for sharing.
What a serene and magical video. More people need this type of self-sufficiency and resourcefulness, as it lead to great satisfaction and develops deep, inner peace. We can't enjoy all the beautiful things God gave us to enjoy when we're running around harried and full of stress. Thank you for making this channel available to all who enjoy peace and beautiful things. I will be watching more. Thanks again.
After a YEAR of watching this episode, here I am watching it AGAIN and finding so much NEW details, projects, and inspiration! I AM AMAZED AT THE BEAUTY OF THIS VIDEO! Thanks, dear Johanna, for being so good at everything you do and for sharing your life with us. Love from Newnan, Georgia, USA. September 1, 2022.
Thank you very much for your beautiful and kind words! It's been one year since I started the renovations, indeed. I uploaded the video in December, so the channel is not yet one year old. So glad the video brought you joy! Hugs and much love!
Благодарю за видео, ещё один взгляд на жизнь Женщины, в которой столько силы женской и нежности, выносливости и добра, новых идей и умиротворения, душевного тепла и красоты.....природа волшебная, а преображение старого и отжившего в новое, светлое и красивое, уютное и естественное по своей сути радует и умиляет душу.... получаю удовольствие при каждом просмотре....с признательностью Алина Никольская.
All I kept thinking was “ahhhhhhh, this is so relaxing to watch”😑You’re amazing and showing us what we all need to embrace and get back to. Thank you 🙏🏼
I am, like many of us watching, deeply moved and grateful to watch your journey unfold so beautifully! What a treasure to be able to see you literally make the world a better place, wherever you go! Thank you! I am proud and inspired by your unyielding, fearless and gentle spirit!
Johanna you have done such a beautiful job with your restoration! When I saw the magical, old lamp hiding in the overgrown garden I knew this was a special place. When you walked to get the earth material to rebuild the stove I knew you are a knowledgeable and resourceful woman! That wood stove is incredible! A lovely warm heart for your sweet home, restored with care and love. Thank you for saving this building and for making this video. The fairies are dancing in the garden once more!
Gosh you are one versatile lady. I envy your little cottage, It is so relaxing to watch your videos. Thank you I wish I could do the same one day and get away from the concrete jungle.
Talk about a little elbow grease (American saying for hard worker), I like that you didn't change the cozy cottage & just added to the charm :). Now I want to make some cookies & eat some with flower water tea 🌹
No matter how many times I watch Johanna remodel her family home I never tire of the transformation! It's such a lovely place to hide away in your own world.
I’m a daughter of a builder and I can respect this amazing beautiful job you’re doing creating something beautiful from something that was beautiful already and waiting for you.
...oh the lovely old copper pieces..would really enjoy a cup of tea in your cozy space...coming from a nordic background, that dusty blue accent color is a fav...sooo glad I stumbled upon this vid...
I love your videos! I owned an interior design business and no one listened to what makes a home. They want trendy things. Not me. I love your style. It’s from your heart and probably the best memories growing up and traditions. Just priceless. I usually get 4 months of snow. This year we had one! So sad. It’s been melted since January. We have already had 80 degree weather.
Knew it wasn’t America as soon as I saw the goat herd 😊 What a beautiful location. I’d love to see the yard done and I hope you’ll be doing an exterior reno on the house itself. Encore!!
Words cannot express how much I enjoyed this video! Having a neat little hide-a-way with peace and tranquility from the world---with everything that you need at your fingertips! I think often of a little place I used to live in that was like that and I long to return! Thank You for this video!
Absolutely incredible! Loved " the house was patiently waiting" I watched your house start smiling as you made it "your little heaven" Amazing how not one word was mentioned and yet so much was said through your video and music! Johanna YOU are an Angel and made an old man cry tears of joy and happiness for you. God has blessed you so much! Thank you for sharing your wonderful story!
Thank you for such a heartwarming comment, Kriss! You brought much joy to my heart! Your tears of joy are like a precious treasure to me, small gems that I will keep in my Special Memories box. Thank you for your kind gift!
You’re amazing! Is there anything you’re not able to accomplish? Your home is a grand piece of art yet cozy and totally your happy place. The Little Blue Fly said we would be charmed and I am. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Wish I were young again. I have rewatched these video's so many times I'm almost embarrassed to say how many but I couldn't tell you? It's so beautiful it transports me to a very special place in time as a little child. Please continue your hearts dream and never stop dreaming for yourself and those of us who haven't stopped dreaming but have to dream through dreamers like yourself!
Wow! I just happened upon your channel and was mesmerized by your talent, the beauty of the work you do, the gorgeous scenery, your many talents, and the peaceful music. Your silence while you work has an amazingly calming effect! Thank you for sharing and using all your God-given talents in such a beautiful way! 🏡 🏠 🏡
I have always wanted to live in the country in a little cottage just like yours and you gave my heart so much hope today as I watched you put your time, talents and love into this amazing home! It gives me hope that I too someday may be able to find a place like yours, and even if it needs some work, I know I can do that work after watching you ! Thank you for sharing !!!
The ritual of preparing food from scratch and sitting down to savor it never gets old. Your creations in the slow living are inspiring and pleasing to watch. Thank you.
My husband is drooling over all her tools and equipment....lol. She is extremely talented and has done an incredible job. She is a master of all trades.
This is exactly what this world needs right now... Back to. basics. Johanna, you have made my day watching the skills you have brought forth, showing us we are all capable of this. Just beautiful. Thank you. What a wonderful, peaceful and happy place. Much love from Australia ❤️🦘🇦🇺🦘❤️
You are living proof that God places angels amongst us. Your actions speak volumes. Your genuine tender loving care is clear and evident for all to witness. All of your work brings new life, warmth and joy together. I see a soul full of spirit, a heart with endless love, and a mind with endless thoughts turned into unique and useful creations. You have such a positive impact on anyone wanting to improve themselves and live the life they desire. I’m so impressed and delighted to see you on your new journey. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us. You inspire me in ways that few have throughout my 66 years of life. I consider it a God given blessing to have found your channel. I wish you an abundance of hope, peace, joy and love. I will lift you up in prayer. I hope that your channel grows and becomes a sensation. For me, your work is a clear message of what God intends our lives to be.
The cottage life is one of the best, it keeps you busy and you don't have time to worry for nothing because since you are all alone you're the one in care of the house.
Как много очень красивых деталей и элементов из кованного металла! Хотя дом был заброшен, но всё равно видно, что он принадлежал обеспеченным людям. Я очень удивлена, что такой дом мог быть заброшен! Johanna, вы уникальная женщина, потому что умеете обращаться с таким количеством инструментов! Я желаю процветания вашему ютьюб-каналу! Пожалуйста, добавьте кнопку с субтитрами на разных языках. 😊
I love everything about this. Your dream home is just like mine, except you made your dream a reality. Johanna, you are as good at ambiance and interior design as any “professional” out there. Well, actually better, in my opinion! So well done!
You have an amazing set of skills! You took a rundown cabin and turned it into an enchanting cottage! Makes my heart ache for a fairy tale cottage too.
I can just picture your family whom planted the fruit trees and what a blessing to be able to harvest , I too have planted many fruit trees and know one day my children’s children will still be able to still enjoy ❤️
I have a home that needs lots of love. You are my inspiration. Thank you for coming into my life at a time i so needed you. I’m not as young as you are (far from) but I am going to do what I can. Be well and happy.
My stress levels dropped and my breathing became calm watching this Johanna. Thank you💕 We bought a derelict barn and converted it to be as fairy like as possible. We would love a beautiful mature garden like yours one day. Our land was a former grazing field. Your work is fantastic.
So glad the video helped! Thank you very much for your kind words! Hope you will have the garden you dream of one day. I am working at making my garden more beautiful, and will show the process in my future videos. I once traveled and lived for some months in a big, modern city. I lived in the middle of the city, in a place that resembled a huge beautiful garden. I never felt I was in a city while I was there. A beautiful garden brings peace to the soul, like a walk in the forest. Wish you and your family all the best!
I know this was such challenging and difficult work for you, but watching this was so soothing and empowering. I love my family dearly, but there is a part of me that sometimes longs for a life like you presented. Thank you.
This video is absolutely enchanting. I didn't want it to end. You are one amazingly talented lady. Your home is lovely and your surroundings are breathtaking.❤
Maree, a lot of people (including me) can only dream of living in such a wondeful cottage and a beautiful peaceful village...😘😚 Johanna is one lucky lady..
Hola Johanna soy Adriana de Argentina, que trabajadora sos me encanta como transformaste ese lugar y lo combertiste en un acogedor hogar muy bello y cálido .🩷☀️🌿🦋👏👏👏🇦🇷
Hi, dear Johanna! How glad I am to see you again, on your new channel! I watched most of this video with tears in my eyes ... What a wonderful story! What beauty, tenderness, sensitivity! What talent, what extraordinary skills I discover that you have, from one video to another ... How much peace, harmony and joy I felt ... and what a combination of colors, shapes, sounds, music, the sound of rain, the sound of the clock in that warm, welcoming space ... The filming is fantastic, of an absolute quality and clarity! Everything is made and filmed with the soul, with an open heart, it feels! Wonderful! You look so good with that hat, but also with that shawl! Thank you for welcoming us into your dream home! I wish you good health, inspiration, strength, and around the holidays being let me wish you Happy Holidays with your loved ones! I look forward to the next episode!
Phyllis, i have a side space next to our cottage and I am getting ready to put potted Hosta, hens and chicks, lavender and phlox. You have given me such inspiration to be creative in the placing of them and using what I already have to plant them in, such as the hens an chicks. I am so happy to have found your channel which I am saving. The soft music, scenery and all you do is soothing to my soul. I Will watch you every week.
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE COUNTRY HOME LIKE THIS. YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE THIS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS STAY SAFE ALWAYS.
Johanna, your workmanship is OUTSTANDING! I love your videos because I learn so much by watching. You are truly inspiring in so many ways. The addition of those black metal pieces to your window casings - chef's kiss!!! Just perfection!
I don't know what's more impressive ...perhaps it's the level of skill when Johanna puts together the oven / stove , how she knows to do such things ... I knew it was really going up a notch when she walks into the workshop and suddenly you see an amazing array of tools and equipment. I'm watching that moment and thinking " Wow!" She really knows so much ....and this series of videos is going to be quite something !
I have seen so many many videos about anything…but this video your video..wow..is amazing gorgeous beautiful..stunning..I’m in love ..I was watching and I was breathtaking every time you finish something..you really are amazing…and it really is a FAIRYTALE COTTAGE ..thank you so much for sharing ..I just need to subscribe to your beautiful channel..God bless you always ..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌱🌱🌱🙏🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌸🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸🙋🏻♀️🌻
I love every about the video the scenery, the sound of the grass and dry leaves being stepped on 🍂🍁📝 I too have a lot of ideas for my front and back yard, but Seems like nobody really cares about caring and loving the space I’m in other than myself. Watching your video has truly inspired me, I’ll work slow so I don’t damage my joints as much. Thank you 🙏🏽
I have only just had your channel pop up for me and I am so happy that it did. You have transformed it and breathed back life into this gorgeous little cottage. It is so calming and satisfying watching you as you create your fairy cottage 😊. Sending thanks 🙏🏻 and love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤
No me canso de ver tus videos....quiero felicitarte po todos tus proyectos. Qué bello dedicarse al hogar, tu techo, el lugar donde te proteje, donde te refugia....hermoso lo que haces. A esa mujer que hace y trabaja con esas manos. Dios te bendiga. Te escribo en castellano. Ojala lo leas. Desde la pandemia sos mi fan número uno, que hace bellas cosas para tu casa. Las recetas de cosina, que elaboras ,me gustan Saludos desde Buenos Aires. Buen año. Buena vida..
Johanna I am lost for words. What a huge task you have taken upon yourself, single handedly. Truly a joy watching you give a new lease of life to the abandoned house. The assurance with which you handle the power tools, heavy duty equipment and do all the woodwork with such precision..I just cannot believe it. . Truly you are a remarkable lady. And to stay alone in the wilderness with no neighbours in sight. Terrific courage, determination, patience and sheer hard work. Awe inspiring Johanna. I have yet to see the rest of this beautiful video. I want to savour each beautiful moment as the house slowly becomes a stunningly beautiful home. Thank you
Thank you very much for your kind words, Sarah! They brought much joy to my heart. I have neighbours - I won't film their houses (as I respect their privacy). The hills are just behind the house, but it's not an isolated house. If it would be very isolated, it would be dangerous, as I have friends who had an isolated cabin that was damaged/broken a few times while they were away, traveling. They eventually had to sell the place and buy a house in a remote village, with neighbours around. Hope you will enjoy the videos on this channel! Wish you and your family all the best!
@@JohannasDreamHome Thank you Johanna for your beautiful video, and for sharing important details ,such as the comforting presence of neighbours near your cottage. I had seen only half the video earlier. . By then, kitchen duties awaited me, and I thought it was best to finish my chores. and make sure that none of my family members would interrupt me , in the time which I had made expressly for myself, for the pleasure of watching you do up your home with so much love. Bit by painstaking bit, it proudly came up. ...., the windows treated to a kind of distressed effect kind of paint work, charming iron braces(for want of an appropriate word) forming corner frames for each window, wrought iron supports for shelves , curtain rods from which billowed delicate curtains., your pretty collection of antique copper and pewter pots and pans hung from hand made hooks ( you even. have an anvil. Did you apprentice under an iron smith??!) ...how much effort has gone into the many precious details that transformed an empty shell to a very welcoming home. Out came the beautiful blue and white plates, a pretty cutting board, plants on the window sill, the blaze from the wood burning stove spreading warmth and cheer. Johanna ,you have done a splendid job. I truly enjoyed watching your video and for sure I will share it with my friends. Thank you for the immense happiness it gave me. Before I sign off ,has the sweet kitty moved in with you. I hope so. Much love to you for this delightful vlog. ..
Oh Miss Johanna, I have been watching your other channel since you began; it only hinted at your true craftsmanship. There you display your passion; this channel is at an entirely different level; here you show us your heart. Thank you so much for sharing this episode in your life; thank you for allowing us the privilege of visiting your home. This is such a wonderful Christmas gift.

@@JohannasDreamHome did you grow up in this house? I saw the 1875 - 2008 sign out front has it been in your family all that time?
You’re amazing! Is there anything you’re not able to accomplish? Your home is a grand piece of art yet cozy and totally your happy place. The Little Blue Fly said we would be charmed and I am. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
I had an overdose of elegance.
Получился дом сказка какой то, это ж сколько талантов у девушки! Да, осталось только мечтать о таком!
This is exquisite. What a precious treasure-filled home. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, Johanna. Deeply inspiring! 💛✨
Thank you too very much for your kind words, Laura!
Wish I were young again. I have rewatched these video's so many times I'm almost embarrassed to say how many but I couldn't tell you? It's so beautiful it transports me to a very special place in time as a little child. Please continue your hearts dream and never stop dreaming for yourself and those of us who haven't stopped dreaming but have to dream through dreamers like yourself!
Wow, you are a very skilled and extraordinary young woman!
Wow! I just happened upon your channel and was mesmerized by your talent, the beauty of the work you do, the gorgeous scenery, your many talents, and the peaceful music. Your silence while you work has an amazingly calming effect! Thank you for sharing and using all your God-given talents in such a beautiful way! 🏡 🏠 🏡
Thank you very much for your beautiful words, Maryann! Glad to have you here! Blessings!
I have always wanted to live in the country in a little cottage just like yours and you gave my heart so much hope today as I watched you put your time, talents and love into this amazing home! It gives me hope that I too someday may be able to find a place like yours, and even if it needs some work, I know I can do that work after watching you ! Thank you for sharing !!!
Thank you too for your kind words! Hope you will soon find the place you are looking for and your wishes come true! Much love!
She is the most incredible woman I have ever seen. So talented and creative.
I can watch your videos all day long and get nothing done. And i do sometimes on cloudy lazy days. You are amazing ❤.
I never wanted this video to end! You are so talented! The cottage looks beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed watching! Thank you!🙂
Your channel popped up on my feed. Totally mesmerized. Had to watch all 4 of your videos. Dang, girl. You sure know what you are doing!
Well done.
Johanna.... you are the most peaceful and wonderful escape from this troubled world that I have found. Thank You and God Bless You !!!!!
So glad the videos help, Jay! Thank you very much for your kind comment!
The ritual of preparing food from scratch and sitting down to savor it never gets old. Your creations in the slow living are inspiring and pleasing to watch. Thank you.
My husband is drooling over all her tools and equipment....lol. She is extremely talented and has done an incredible job. She is a master of all trades.
Awesome! What an inspiration. May your little world continue to be safe and comforting.
This is exactly what this world needs right now... Back to. basics.
Johanna, you have made my day watching the skills you have brought forth, showing us we are all capable of this.
Just beautiful.
Thank you.
What a wonderful, peaceful and happy place.
Much love from Australia ❤️🦘🇦🇺🦘❤️
You are living proof that God places angels amongst us. Your actions speak volumes. Your genuine tender loving care is clear and evident for all to witness. All of your work brings new life, warmth and joy together. I see a soul full of spirit, a heart with endless love, and a mind with endless thoughts turned into unique and useful creations. You have such a positive impact on anyone wanting to improve themselves and live the life they desire. I’m so impressed and delighted to see you on your new journey. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us. You inspire me in ways that few have throughout my 66 years of life. I consider it a God given blessing to have found your channel. I wish you an abundance of hope, peace, joy and love. I will lift you up in prayer. I hope that your channel grows and becomes a sensation. For me, your work is a clear message of what God intends our lives to be.
Thank you very much for such a heartwarming comment! It filled my heart with joy!🙏🙂
The cottage life is one of the best, it keeps you busy and you don't have time to worry for nothing because since you are all alone you're the one in care of the house.
Как много очень красивых деталей и элементов из кованного металла! Хотя дом был заброшен, но всё равно видно, что он принадлежал обеспеченным людям. Я очень удивлена, что такой дом мог быть заброшен! Johanna, вы уникальная женщина, потому что умеете обращаться с таким количеством инструментов! Я желаю процветания вашему ютьюб-каналу! Пожалуйста, добавьте кнопку с субтитрами на разных языках. 😊
Дом заброшенный,а мастерская с инструментами в порядке😲
@@ОльгаТарасенко-й6м и главное вся современная... 🤔 А посуды сколько медной.
@@ОльгаТарасенко-й6мменя это это тоже очень удивило
Пожалуйста!!!!!!! Делайте Ваши видео чаще! Вы прекрасны!!!!!!
I am so happy that the little blue fly sent me over. What a joy to watch you and what a beautiful place you have. Just perfect.
Thank you very much, Sally! Glad to have you here! I am very grateful for Bev's help and for all the wonderful people she sent here.
The sight looks sweet to taste. The music, tugged on my soul. You words, poetry to my heart, a knowing of something familiar.
I love everything about this. Your dream home is just like mine, except you made your dream a reality. Johanna, you are as good at ambiance and interior design as any “professional” out there. Well, actually better, in my opinion! So well done!
Thank you very much for such a kind comment, Kana Michelle! Glad you love my home! May your beautiful dreams soon come true! Wish you all the best!
Waooo, beautiful house 🏠
Congrats 🎉
Your cottage is so beautiful. It is so nice to see that some people still cherish the old ways of living. So cool and peaceful! Love it❤
You have an amazing set of skills! You took a rundown cabin and turned it into an enchanting cottage! Makes my heart ache for a fairy tale cottage too.
My goodness you've put me to shame! The amount of hard work you put into creating this lovely place is amazing. Well done ❤️👏👏
Какая умница!!!Желаю тебе нескончаемого вдохновения.
I can just picture your family whom planted the fruit trees and what a blessing to be able to harvest , I too have planted many fruit trees and know one day my children’s children will still be able to still enjoy ❤️
I have a home that needs lots of love. You are my inspiration. Thank you for coming into my life at a time i so needed you. I’m not as young as you are (far from) but I am going to do what I can. Be well and happy.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Gail! So glad the videos help! Much joy to you and your loved ones!
My stress levels dropped and my breathing became calm watching this Johanna. Thank you💕 We bought a derelict barn and converted it to be as fairy like as possible. We would love a beautiful mature garden like yours one day. Our land was a former grazing field.
Your work is fantastic.
So glad the video helped! Thank you very much for your kind words! Hope you will have the garden you dream of one day. I am working at making my garden more beautiful, and will show the process in my future videos. I once traveled and lived for some months in a big, modern city. I lived in the middle of the city, in a place that resembled a huge beautiful garden. I never felt I was in a city while I was there. A beautiful garden brings peace to the soul, like a walk in the forest. Wish you and your family all the best!
I think my favorite piece is the wood fire oven/stove. I've never seen anything like that, but it's a beautiful work of art with very practical use.
Thank you very much! It's a common stove we use here to heat our homes and cook. Glad you enjoyed watching!
Delightful, thank you for sharing this. You’ve worked so hard and your cottage is lovely.
Я просто в восхищении от виртуозной работы по возрождению дома!
I know this was such challenging and difficult work for you, but watching this was so soothing and empowering. I love my family dearly, but there is a part of me that sometimes longs for a life like you presented. Thank you.
This video is absolutely enchanting. I didn't want it to end. You are one amazingly talented lady. Your home is lovely and your surroundings are breathtaking.❤
Замечательная девушка , было бы побольше таких людей в мире.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
You can only live alone to realize your dream home the way you visualize it. Lovely.
Maree, a lot of people (including me) can only dream of living in such a wondeful cottage and a beautiful peaceful village...😘😚
Johanna is one lucky lady..
Hola Johanna soy Adriana de Argentina, que trabajadora sos me encanta como transformaste ese lugar y lo combertiste en un acogedor hogar muy bello y cálido .🩷☀️🌿🦋👏👏👏🇦🇷
I am 3 minutes in and already in love with your house.
Congratulations!! You turn this place like a paradise.
You're living my dream.
God bless you.
Hi, dear Johanna! How glad I am to see you again, on your new channel! I watched most of this video with tears in my eyes ... What a wonderful story! What beauty, tenderness, sensitivity! What talent, what extraordinary skills I discover that you have, from one video to another ... How much peace, harmony and joy I felt ... and what a combination of colors, shapes, sounds, music, the sound of rain, the sound of the clock in that warm, welcoming space ... The filming is fantastic, of an absolute quality and clarity! Everything is made and filmed with the soul, with an open heart, it feels! Wonderful! You look so good with that hat, but also with that shawl! Thank you for welcoming us into your dream home! I wish you good health, inspiration, strength, and around the holidays being let me wish you Happy Holidays with your loved ones! I look forward to the next episode!
🤗 Thank you very much for your kind and beautifully written comment! Happy Holidays!
Phyllis, i have a side space next to our cottage and I am getting ready to put potted Hosta, hens and chicks, lavender and phlox. You have given me such inspiration to be creative in the placing of them and using what I already have to plant them in, such as the hens an chicks. I am so happy to have found your channel which I am saving. The soft music, scenery and all you do is soothing to my soul. I Will watch you every week.
Thank you very much, Phyllis! So glad the videos helped! Wish you all the best!
I love this! its howls moving castle vibes when Sophie first arrives and starts cleaning
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE COUNTRY HOME LIKE THIS. YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE THIS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS STAY SAFE ALWAYS.
Such a beautiful home. I love your taste in decorating. You're a very skilled woman. God bless you in all your efforts.
Many thanks! 🙏🙂
The Little Blue Fly sent me and I am so so pleased to subscribe to your beautiful channel. Thank you 💕🇬🇧
Thank you too, Diana, for accepting Beverly's kind invitation! So glad you love the videos. Wish you all the best!
Johanna, your workmanship is OUTSTANDING! I love your videos because I learn so much by watching. You are truly inspiring in so many ways. The addition of those black metal pieces to your window casings - chef's kiss!!! Just perfection!
took the words right out of my mouth
Love the mason stove and the food forest.
I don't know what's more impressive ...perhaps it's the level of skill when Johanna puts together the oven / stove , how she knows to do such things ...
I knew it was really going up a notch when she walks into the workshop and suddenly you see an amazing array of tools and equipment. I'm watching that moment and thinking " Wow!" She really knows so much ....and this series of videos is going to be quite something !
Those were my thoughts, this girl knows what she's doing!!
I have seen so many many videos about anything…but this video your video..wow..is amazing gorgeous beautiful..stunning..I’m in love ..I was watching and I was breathtaking every time you finish something..you really are amazing…and it really is a FAIRYTALE COTTAGE ..thank you so much for sharing ..I just need to subscribe to your beautiful channel..God bless you always ..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌱🌱🌱🙏🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌸🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸🙋🏻♀️🌻
Aaaah, you have the magic touch of story telling even without speaking a word. Lovely video.
I love every about the video the scenery, the sound of the grass and dry leaves being stepped on 🍂🍁📝
I too have a lot of ideas for my front and back yard, but Seems like nobody really cares about caring and loving the space I’m in other than myself.
Watching your video has truly inspired me, I’ll work slow so I don’t damage my joints as much. Thank you 🙏🏽
My life feels out of control busy, and when I come here, I feel like I can relax and be at peace. thank you
La cocina ha quedado hermosa. Es una casa grande y con extraordinario potencial. Felicidades 🎉 Desde el Sur de Chile 🇨🇱
Какой уютный канал..красота... привет из России!!!!!!!
Wow, I’ve never seen anyone so handy at so many things in my life! Keep up the great work and videos!
I have only just had your channel pop up for me and I am so happy that it did. You have transformed it and breathed back life into this gorgeous little cottage. It is so calming and satisfying watching you as you create your fairy cottage 😊. Sending thanks 🙏🏻 and love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoy the videos! Thank you very much and welcome!
No me canso de ver tus videos....quiero felicitarte po todos tus proyectos.
Qué bello dedicarse al hogar, tu techo, el lugar donde te proteje, donde te refugia....hermoso lo que haces. A esa mujer que hace y trabaja con esas manos. Dios te bendiga.
Te escribo en castellano. Ojala lo leas.
Desde la pandemia sos mi fan número uno, que hace bellas cosas para tu casa. Las recetas de cosina, que elaboras ,me gustan
Saludos desde Buenos Aires.
Buen año. Buena vida..
Спасибо за видел. Все как в сказке. Как все прекрасно! Смотрю и не могу не оторваться , не могу налюбоваться .
Большое спасибо!
Johanna I am lost for words. What a huge task you have taken upon yourself, single handedly.
Truly a joy watching you give a new lease of life to the abandoned house.
The assurance with which you handle the power tools, heavy duty equipment and do all the woodwork with such precision..I just cannot believe it.
. Truly you are a remarkable lady.
And to stay alone in the wilderness with no neighbours in sight.
Terrific courage, determination, patience and sheer hard work.
Awe inspiring Johanna.
I have yet to see the rest of this beautiful video. I want to savour each beautiful moment as the house slowly becomes a stunningly beautiful home.
Thank you
Thank you very much for your kind words, Sarah! They brought much joy to my heart. I have neighbours - I won't film their houses (as I respect their privacy). The hills are just behind the house, but it's not an isolated house. If it would be very isolated, it would be dangerous, as I have friends who had an isolated cabin that was damaged/broken a few times while they were away, traveling. They eventually had to sell the place and buy a house in a remote village, with neighbours around. Hope you will enjoy the videos on this channel! Wish you and your family all the best!

Thank you Johanna for your beautiful video, and for sharing important details ,such as the comforting presence of neighbours near your cottage.
I had seen only half the video earlier. . By then, kitchen duties awaited me, and I thought it was best to finish my chores. and make sure that none of my family members would interrupt me , in the time which I had made expressly for myself, for the pleasure of watching you do up your home with so much love.
Bit by painstaking bit, it proudly came up. ...., the windows treated to a kind of distressed effect kind of paint work, charming iron braces(for want of an appropriate word) forming corner frames for each window, wrought iron supports for shelves , curtain rods from which billowed delicate curtains., your pretty collection of antique copper and pewter pots and pans hung from hand made hooks ( you even. have an anvil. Did you apprentice under an iron smith??!) ...how much effort has gone into the many precious details that transformed an empty shell to a very welcoming home.
Out came the beautiful blue and white plates, a pretty cutting board, plants on the window sill, the blaze from the wood burning stove spreading warmth and cheer.
Johanna ,you have done a splendid job. I truly enjoyed watching your video and for sure I will share it with my friends.
Thank you for the immense happiness it gave me. Before I sign off ,has the sweet kitty moved in with you. I hope so.
Much love to you for this delightful vlog.

Oh Miss Johanna, I have been watching your other channel since you began; it only hinted at your true craftsmanship. There you display your passion; this channel is at an entirely different level; here you show us your heart. Thank you so much for sharing this episode in your life; thank you for allowing us the privilege of visiting your home. This is such a wonderful Christmas gift.
Thank you for such a heartwarming comment, Michael! Reading your comment felt like opening a beautiful Christmas gift. Best wishes!
Just discovered your channel and your enchanting dream home. To watch is a visit to a place of peace and tranquility. Beautiful.
you literally have blown my mind . I have never seen such workmanship in my life . Its really truly a dream home.
Thank you so much! Glad you like it!
I was looking forward to seeing her again. I follow your youtube channel. I found this video and remembered the previous ones. You are a very skillful and capricious woman. Congratulations on the impeccable work always.
