Last year we built an extension to our cabin making it twice as big, and after living in it for over a year, we decided to make some changes to the layout to better suit our needs! Living on Svalbard means shipping everything from the mainland, which can be both expensive and take a long time. But finally our IKEA shipment has arrived as well as our new carpets, I hope you enjoy this video!🧡☕️

I love how Cecilia never complains, even when she's lost her breath after carrying heavy things. Just exhale and said how beautiful the day was ❤....very positive in every situation.
She is really good at Life, isn't she? 😀
Come on everybody let’s get this wonderful person over the line for 300,000 subscribers before 2022 closes off . Cecilia and her delightful boys work really hard to produce such brilliant content so it’s the least we can do .
😍😍😍😍🧡🧡🧡🧡
She did it!!!
At your service. I keep coming back to this channel, so why not subscribe…? 😎
@@bayshtyshorty She is now over that 500k! YAY!!! Now can we get 700k?!?!?!?! Let's go!!!!
I just discovered her channel when I saw her Dodo video about Grim, now I am hooked.
I live in the Caribbean and many people use shipping companies to get things from ikea, Amazon etc. It also takes about 2 -4 weeks for something to arrive by ship. We have the same excitement when something arrives
Me too!!!! I also live in the Caribbean and relate to so much of her daily struggles like shipping and not always having fresh produce and stuff like that.
For the tv room I was going to suggest in the area above the couch to get some grow lights and keep them during the polar night with a plant or two on a shelf. I think it might help you guys as well to have some greenery and having grow lights for your plants is a great way to keep them happy when there is no sun.
I love this idea! I have so many plants in my boho apartment & I can't imagine living without them!! They really do breathe life into a space! 🌿🌱☘️
Excellent idea..I have tons of plants in my home..brings nature in.
Good idea for grow lights and plants.
even artificial plastic plants would bring some life ins this house. it looks sterile in parts. there is no green.
It's funny how Christoffer looks exactly like all the guys from Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota... and Canadian guys too. Small world!
Grim is so cute with his sensitive soul. Mom, the carpet has to be just right, ok? Thanks, Mom! Loving this time of transition to Polar nights and your home so pretty and cozy, love your candle arrangements, Beautiful colors of the sunset and landscape. Have a lovely week Cecelia, Christoffer and Grim.💖
Grim is Goldilocks! It all must be just right!❤️😂
Seeing Grim so happy with the new carpet fills my heart with joy. It’s the little things 😊
I love the new things for the cabin. You are a beast carrying the heavy furniture. Christoffer cracks me up with his carrying the heavy things comment. 😂. Can’t wait for more cozy polar night videos.
hahah so typical Christoffer haha! I always do the heavy lifting 💪🏻
Right?! About Christopher carrying "the heavy things"! Cracked me up as well. 😄
Ikea items, even furniture, are light. The only thing I didn’t like about my couch was it being so low, my 6’4” husband was very uncomfortable!
Binge watching your videos, and I must say you've really taken command of the whole decorating scene/vibe you now have in your home. The colors are complimentary and are beautifully fluid from room to room. The textures are light and inviting, the lightning isn't harsh or offensive. The place looks modern and uncluttered. Loved how you took us with you month after month on a small mismatched cabin to its glorious uncocooning to a fabulous, warm, inviting home. We'll done to you cecilia and Christopher. Enjoy what you've created these polar nights. ❤ your channel
Aww thank youuu 🙏🙏🙏
26:11 the evenings are so beautiful wow, loving the autumn vibes already ! 🍂🍁🧡
Me tooo! I am SO happy to have the cosy times back!
You don't have to thank us for watching you, it's the most fun we could have ... we should be thanking you !!! You are so full of life and humour and honesty that's it's refreshing .. So keep on being yourself and know that we enjoy your escapades a lot !! Till next time !!!
I've learned that the furnishings will last longer if your dog doesn't like them so much, so maybe Grim doesn't have to love everything and wear it out. 😁
So you don’t care for the comfort of your animals , got it
Exactly. My grandma lived in her home for like 70 years. She hated everything including her life. So when she died all her things looked completely new. It was a win for everyone. Except it wasn’t.
The new carpet is beautiful! It adds the perfect bit of texture to the room - nice choice. Two thumbs up! 😃
I think so too! I am so happy with how it turned out!
Everything looks great! Would love to know where you got the carpet from. My daughter would love one like that in her room.
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Where did you get that big, fluffy carpet from?
Did she ever say where she got the fluffy carpet from? I'm looking for one myself.
Quick tip… I keep the name, code, receipt of the item(s) I like and store in a binder so that in the future I have the info at my fingertips if I need to buy a new one of the same item. This also goes for house paint colors, kitchen cabinet manufacturers, etc.
I also store my seasonal carpets & runners underneath my current ones. It's a great space saving option! I adore how you're constantly thinking of Grim & his likes & desires. He really has the most perfect home with you guys! After watching this video, I'm never taking my delivery options for granted again! Stay blessed. 💕🌈 💕
Finally! A longer video! Missed these :) love you guys
More to come! 😍
Your cabin is a work of art! I love your design. It’s so nice seeing you make a home
Yay, the cabin is going to look so nice and cozy!
I swear... there is not a dog more loved then Grim 🐕🦺💕. Lol so sweet and he loves the new carpet. He's got GOOD taste lol I love it too. Both rooms look cozy and beautiful 😍. Great job Cecilia!! ❤💕
You could build library shelving on the tv wall with the tv sitting in a recess. If the shelving was white it wouldn’t look like it was closing up the doorway too much. 😊
You have come a long way Cecilia, i was your subscriber when you had less than 5000 follower, now look at you, almost 300k!!
Omg thank youuu! And thank you SO much for being here 🙏🧡🧡
I am so addicted to your videos!! Sending love to you guys from Portugal!!
You're the best! 🙏🏻
Svalbard is a beauty! Watching your videos is one of my favorite things, especially in fall/winter 😍😍
Thank you so so much! 🙏🏻😊
Cecillia i love how comfortable, but also very stylish you have made the cabin. I look forward to seeing more. Grim loves the new carpet, his tail started wagging as soon as he saw it. That dog has great taste also. Best wishes x
The new carpet is so fluffy and soft just like Grim s fur texture.grim looking happy on the carpet
You have made your home cozy & beautiful. Grim is happy!
Thank you so much!
Cecilia, I'm not sure you should store that other carpet underneath the new one. The backing on the top one can wear down the bottom one as you walk and such. Especially if it's a heavy canvas type backing. It might not matter as much if the bottom one has a low pile (less fluff). Just a heads up. ☺️ The new areas look amazing!
ahhh thank you!! will check that asap and make a new plan! didnt think of it at all!
I thought the white carpet would look great in the far left corner of the living room underneath that chair (if viewed from the kitchen) maybe with a bit of layering of the carpets, but I don't know if that would give you similar issues with the fluff :)
I agree! I learned that the hard way ( read:super expensive!)
Or flip it over so rugs are laying back to back.
Essentially you're using one carpet as a pad for the other. This is a good use for ugly carpets that make good padding.
It's actually perfect that the carpet so closely matches the tones of everything else in the room. You can add any pops of accent color with other accessories that are easy to change from season to season. But the carpet which is more expensive can remain and ground the room. Just lovely. I adore your cabin and could totally live in it!
“I’ll take these heavy things.” Buahahaha! 🤣 I Love Christopher’s personality. He’s so chill.
Cecilia, you sure love your Grim. Not many people would risk going bankrupt in order to get the perfect "dog approved" rug. And now Grim has made it extra perfect by the addition of his slobber. The rug in the TV room is gorgeous. Plus, with the pattern, it will hide a multitude of dirt, spills, dirty paw prints, etc. Nice ending to the video - the footage of the sunset was stunning.
Grim, he is everything! Very cozy, well done.
It looks so enchanting in the finale with all the lights and candles lit. You've done well and Grim looks very HAPPY! Yay!
YAY!!! It's a long one!!! Good morning everyone!!! ☀️💐🥰
Goood morning! :) I hope you enjoyed it! 🧡
I so look forward to the long ones!!!!
Morning! I love the long ones too!! 😊
@@hollylanevintagetreasures if it was a 24 hour channel, I would be delighted and never ever turn it off!!
Don't know if this would work well but you could put some up some shelves for books close to the ceiling (so the shelf is in line with the top of the door frame) this way you have a pretty decent amount of shelving and it frees up that wall for prints/art/whatever else. AND you could add the lighting under the shelves to brighten it up if you wanted. I feel like it could be a cosy and practical option ✨
I love your renovations ! And I love your pup , your infectious personality , and I especially like Christoffer’s cooking segments , he really is a very good chef and it adds dimension to your videos ! But the biggest star is the place you live and the people , this place brings out the best in people ❤
Christopher is always the gentleman. He lets you do all the heavy lifting. A polite way of allowing you to do extra daily workout. Such a nice gesture.
That new sofa looks so comfy!! Can't get over the cost of shipping but I can imagine how exciting it must be when the stuff finally gets there 🤣 love this cosy vlog!! Big love from Ireland xx
One does not always realise the logistical nightmare that online shopping can present to you on Svalbard. Even getting it from the trailer to the cabin is a mission. Great work. I love the result and look forward to sharing it in the polar nights. I am glad to see that it has the approval of Grim!
Love how warm and cozy you are decorating your cabin perfect. Your puppy is so adorable what
an angel dog! ❤❤🦴🦴🐶🐶
Oh how wonderful to be a part of your and Christopher and Grim’s lives on aSunday and soak up your amazing filming and editing- I so look forward to these ! And your house looks beautiful and so cozy- great choices. Now I am off to Positano Dairies for a completely opposite view of the world and then my Sunday travels are done for the week! So grateful for you❤️❤️❤️
I just LOVE Grimm!! He is the most gorgeous sweetest boy ever! 💖
Ok, you did not promise too much, when talking about that coziness... That is top notch cozy🧸
Haha right?! 😍🙌
Really happy seeing you happy Cecilia, fun when things come together and it’s beautiful the way you both have decorated.. we all love the sharing you give us throughout the world on your journey.🎉❤
So happy to see a new video. I’ve been sick with COVID for the past week and needed cheering up. Love me some Cecilia, Christopher and Grim.
Love the redecorating! And those cozy night scenes make me just want to curl up with a good book! Love your videos ❤️
Seeing the snow falling made my HEART SO HAPPY! I love winter, it's coming!!
I'm so glad Grim made a connection with your new carpets, hahaha he's so funny!
How do you like the sofa you have in the living room, I think you got that last year? Is it holding up well?
SAME! Love the early snow!! Grim thankfully loves the last carpet!! haha The IKEA one in the livingroom is Söderhamn and we love it! It looks the exact same and is suuuper easy to change cover on! Grim ruined the first one so fast, so we bought a new cover a few months ago :)
I have went down a Cecilia rabbit hole. In the last week I have almost finished all her videos! Her attitude towards life and Christoffers is really phenomenal. I’m trying to channel them and lean towards being more grounded and just enjoying life
Such a beautiful transformation for your cabin. It definitely has become your cozy, peaceful home. I love how Grim enjoys the new carpet too. Such a character. ❤️❤️
Wonderful😘…and yess,so glad Grim is back in the video…happy to see the whole family today🥰
So in love with Grim! Such a nice boy 🥹💗 Love the video, as always!
As usual the views are breathtaking. It was interesting to learn about the shipping process there in Svalbard. It is similar to the topical islands shipping process as well. Anyways, I like the carpet in living room. Looks comfortable. Smart idea about the television stand. Space Is a key component to small living spaces. Patience is the key when living the island life.
Well done, Cecilia, Michaela, Christoffer, Ikea Handyman and Grimm! Someone on Svalbard was very lucky to be able to buy your unwanted things. Looking forward to further developments on the interior design front. I'll be moving back to Texas soon, and making similar decisions. I'll definitely be consulting bffs on the interior decisions, and crafting my own candles, pillows and fine art, as you have your own photos, as well as doing my own re-upholstery. Just saw a headboard and bench set that grabbed my attention like no other. The journey has begun. lol
I had the very same rug and believe me after a few months it became clumpy and matted together, i just hope you can find a way to stop that from happening.
I love your remodeling of your spaces! Looking nice and cozy going into the polar 🌙 night season. Seeing snow this early is beautiful too. ❄
So cool that you found the perfect fit carpet for your TV room right at the supermarket! And I love that it's a complex design that blends beautifully with the simple lines and colors in the rest of the room. And the living room carpet sounds divine, super soft and with an extra carpet under it. No wonder Grim loves it!
Oooh, the snow! I've been putting up your daily daylength next to mine to see how it's changing. Today, Sept. 25th, we have the exact same daylength, although you have 3 hours more twilight than I do at 41 degrees north. But your light level is changing 13 minutes per day faster than mine. I saw that you were getting snow now, and tried to imagine how it looks. But seeing it here is much more beautiful than I imagined, especially the light shining through and on it. 💗 And the scene at 26:38 - breathtaking, especially with the geese flying through.
I don’t know if you keep looking at this site? But if you do and you get your items from IKEA look at their Billy bookcases. I’m a book lover and reader with over 2000 books. Yea, I will admit it! When I was looking for book storage, someone suggested Billy bookcases. They are great! ❤I’ve had mine for nearly 12 years. They’re white with doors and added shelving. To this day, I still love them. Take a look, the cost is worth the price.
All looks so beautiful! Glad you're happy with everything and Grim too!!
Love how the new cabin layout is coming to life! ❤❤
Everything looks so lovely and cosy, ready for the polar night 🌙 Love to Grim!! ❤️🐶❤️
Love the cozy home vlogs. Love seeing all the home projects and just hanging out with you in your home Cecelia. The cabin home has really evolved beautifully.❤️
Thank God you exist. I'm watching your videos as I recover from a long sickness and honestly I feel so much better just watching you guys. Keep up the good work. X
The TV room is a hit.
Thank you Cecilia for this new video. Love the cabin-renovation-ready for the cozy dark winter video. Makes me long for the winter as well ❄
Yay! Been waiting this morning for your upload! Your home is so lovely 😍 You have done an amazing job on it!
Oh my goodness your home is looking so beautiful cosy and ready for the winter. Much love from Scotland. xx
Nothing like a woman's touch - Cecilia is so positive and pro-active and Chris helps her to fulfill her vision - they compliment each other so well. God bless this lovely couple and their dog Grim.
Beautiful video, everything looks amazing Cecilia!
The carpets! The CARPETS! Fantastic choices! And the bathroom looks like a magazine cover! What a home you two have made for yourselves-thank you for sharing it!
Love the new TV room and carpets! You and Christoffer are such gentle souls. I just love your videos!
I love the TV room sofa. The way you were standing in the video shows the continuity of both sofas. It is absolutely perfect.
Love how your cabin looks Cecilia! You have decorated the TV room so beautiful! And Grlm has supervised all the task!
Love the carpet in both rooms. The colors are perfect. Well done and I also loved Grim's reaction to them.
New furniture looks great, love it!
Also beautiful shots of the nighttime, man that lighting and those colors! Must be so relaxing, please give us more 💙
Hi Cecilia. The Cabin looks beautiful and cozy. Congratulations to the three of you.
The cabin is such a beautiful relaxing retreat!! It would feel like you were always on vacation!!! I love the mountains the ocean and reindeer with the falling snow!!!❤
Everything looks so good. I know you will enjoy your new carpet this winter.
The supermarket rug is absolutely gorgeous! This room looks amazing! I love your channel Cecilia❤
That carpet in the tv room is PERFECT! The room looks so cozy. The shaggy living room carpet is perfect too! Great job!
FUN! Thanks for taking along with the house updates! The new shag rug is perfect! I love a neutral base so I can change out pops of bright color around the rooms as the seasons and my moods change. The new tv room is definitely comfy cozy. Finding that rug at the grocery store was a wonderful bonus! 🎉
Love the TV nook, will be cosy . Love adding lights and books. The new carpets are so nice.
Grim was definitely a happy Camper on the new carpet,it is very beautiful ♥️. The TV room turned out so nice cozy. There’s nothing better than having a place to enjoy sitting in and relaxing in that feels nice and cozy when the it starts turning cold outside. Have a blessed life you three and it was enjoyable watching you get all your new items….🧡😁🧡.
Everything looks beautiful! I love that you go for cozy!
Love the aesthic makeover !! Everything is so well coordinated and looks cozy ❤
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for sharing! Has me now looking forward to the cozy season. Pure hyyge!
What a video - new furniture and snow !😍Everything looks beautiful. I love the TV room.
Enjoyed this so much. Your new couch and rug look so nice.! I have been thinking about how much I enjoy seeing your videos especially during the fall and winter months. Fall and winter are my favorite seasons. It was so cool to see the snow falling and to see it on the mountains.
Love, love, love the TV Room! So cozy. And Christofer did an amazing job with the carpet! 😊
Hi Cecilia, absolutely love how homey your cabin is, enjoy all your videos, have a wonderful month. 🤗
The cabin is so cozy and beautiful! I love all your color choices and accents!!
I love how the new rug in your TV room warms up the space. Great choice! Grim is adorable. Glad he likes his new rugs!
Your place looks great I like the idea of leaving your car up.the hill seems no big deal.So beautiful where you live..
The carpet looks great in the TV nook. Gives a really earthy, cozy vibe to the room. Good find Christoffer. Take Care. Much love from Cali!!
Love your videos, the editing is amazing!
The TV nook looks fabulous, the whole cabin is looking so different from when I first started watching your videos, it use to be so tiny!! Great to see all the deliveries, so much effort to get items shipped to Svalbard, cant wait to see the whole place lit up during the Polar Nights 💖
The rugs are gorgeous! Cant wait for your cozy season again!
Love your videos! Grim always makes me smile!
I'm a maintenance tehnician in a Ikea factory, and I can truly say that it.s the most chipest furniture. They are very focus on low price....for products. I.m from Romania and one of their big factory is here, and we are deliver all around the world from here. And about the place you live, I like it I love it, it.s like you are living in a holiday, vacation house non stop :))))
The sunset outside your cabin is magical.
Your smile and positive attitude will brighten anyone's day. Your channel is so uplifting. Thank you! 😍
Every Sunday a relaxation comes over me after watching your videos thankyou
