Over the next view coming years we will be renovating an old Swedish school that we bought. The building is beautiful, full of character and over a hundred years old.

Besides the school there is also an old barn that needs a lot of work and a b...

Hi just found your channel thanks from Scotland a new subscriber for you all the best for the future
That is a beautiful chair the color of the material is also beautiful
Best wishes in your new home
УДАЧИ ВАМ!
I like plans very much and yours is cool; I can't wait to see that irl!
Where are Rogier and you going to sleep? Separately? Bathroom for Rogier and you? If Rogier needs to……p…… he has to walk all the way to the other side of the house? Big rooms are often difficult to heat in winter! But otherwise looking good. 👍🏼☺️
If you hadn't thought of it and if it fits I would recommend adding a toilet to the shop (maybe under the stairs) so that anyone working in it doesn't have to go into your house to pee or get water for cleaning etc. The plans look interesting
Exciting plans! Looking forward to seeing you and Rogier bring them to life. Enjoy your time in Sweden!
Love all of your plans but, not sure of the space but am thinking any family, particularly with children would like even small, separate bedrooms to one large area that doesn't give privacy. Also, eliminates need for support work freeing up more money for exterior buildings. Just a thought.
Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you guys know that we are in Sweden right now and we have started to do some demo! It's all very exciting and fun but there wasn't much time to film an entire video before we left so this is unfortunate all I could manage to upload this week. I still hope you like it and I also hope it is going to be helpful to know where everything is. I will be back soon with some more exciting content about the new house! P.s. I'm also a bit slow with responding to all your sweet comments but I will do that as soon as we are back so just keep them coming because we love hearing from you all!
I love your choice of music can you list the pieces?
I love your sense of style as reflected in your clothing and your surroundings! Lovely video!
❤❤❤❤❤
Deep thoughts that always make me think! If I was one of the persons interested in buying the farmhouse, I would want to keep all the furniture and decor; be prepared, it may occur!😉
Such an inspiring message, thank you x
Loved hearing your thoughts about the changing seasons and how winter is approaching, and a break is coming with it. 😌 Made me think of what Jonna Jinton here on YT said in her "Living with the Dark Winters in Sweden" video: "A flower would never force itself to bloom in the cold winter, so why would we?" 🥀🧡 Love the apron btw! Made myself a similar one a few weeks ago in light green 😊
You look so vintage and lovely in your new apron. I always enjoy hearing your thoughts about your life journey. In the description above you said you think unpacking your things in Sweden will be healing for you and I agree!
What a great apron. I like that analogy of mental health and autumn.. good food for thought. Really really appreciate your way of styling old objects into such beautiful vignettes. 🕊️🤍
Hi Melinda, I'm glad you liked it because it was a bit of a difficult time for creating videos because I have been sick so I actually did not really do much besides a little bit of cleaning and decorating.
@@EvasHomeVintageDIY awww .... feel stronger!
The shot glass was used to fill with water and put against your eye to clean it in case something got in the eye.
Hi Nancy thank you for letting us know!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
🌷
Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe jullie het allemaal warm gaan houden. Olie, hout, pallets warme lucht pomp.Vocht, muizen, schimmels,riolering , twee kamer bron is nu verplicht. Je mag in zweden niet alles zelf doen of ja mag maar dan moet het nogmaals gekeurd worden door derden, anders geen verzekering. Het ziet er allemaal super gaaf uit maar hoe gaat dit proces😅. Ben ik wel heel benieuwd naar.
Nou anders ik wel! We zijn op dit moment nog volop research aan het doen over hoe we het huis willen gaan verwarmen op de lange termijn en voorlopig gaan we met een tijdelijke optie alleen een gedeelte van het huis verwarmen. Muizen zullen geen probleem zijn want we hebben 4 katten die super goed zijn in muizen vangen. Heb je het met de twee kamer bron over de water put of over de septic tank? Ik weet namelijk wel dat onze waterput niet diep genoeg is dus daar moet sowieso naar gekeken worden maar de septic tank heeft 3 kamers dus die is up to date. Anyway het wordt een hele onderneming en een hele uitdaging om het huis op orde te krijgen maar wij hebben er zin in en we hebben gelukkig ook hele lieve buren leren kennen die we vanalles kunnen vragen.
You are beautiful so are your videos and your stuff I'm obsessed with!
Hi Vanessa, that is so sweet of you to say!
Hi there I'm so excited to watch your videos thank u so much for your energy u just make me feel happy and forget about things that makes me feel sad 🙏❤️
Hi hi, I am so happy to hear that my videos bring a little bit of happiness... making and sharing the videos also does that for me!
Eva, you are inspiring with your honesty and delight about beauty, which comes in so many forms. Follow your passions intuition and heart.
Hi MaryAnn, thank you for your sweet comment and yes I will definitely try do that!
Hi, I'm Swedish and the beautiful book at 5:08 is a postil (from latin: postilla; derived from the phrase "post illa verba textus"; "after these words from Scripture") also called a homily (from Greek ὁμιλία, homilía), which is a commentary that follows and explains a reading of scripture or sermon. It's written by Anders Nohrborg and published posthumously. During his final illness, Nohrborg prepared the publication of this postil. The letters to his brother Daniel provide an interesting insight into this work. Nohrborg also established a will just a few days before his death, which mainly concerns how his relatives should handle the manuscripts of the postil. In 1771, Nohrborg's brother published the postil under the title "Den fallna menniskans salighets-ordning, föreställd uti betraktelser öfver de årliga sön- och högtidsdagars evangelier" old Swedish for "The Fallen Man's Order of Salvation, Depicted in Reflections on the Annual Gospels of Sundays and Holidays"", which has been released in many editions. The postil is not arranged according to the church year's texts but systematically-theologically according to the order of salvation. According to this, God deals with man in an objective way. At the same time, this objective order is combined with a subjective one, where man is placed at the center. The very concept of salvation is key to understanding the postil. Christian salvation does not merely mean communion with God but also includes a subjective element, a feeling of happiness. 'The fallen man' lacks this happiness. It is realized in the Christian order of salvation and reaches its highest point in the _unio mystica_. Through the fall of man, the connection between man and God has been broken, but through calling and awakening, an empirical transformation of man takes place. This happens step by step according to the order of salvation through conversion, rebirth, and faith. Accordingly, the presentation begins with a section on Christ and his work, followed by descriptions of man and her journey through the order of salvation. Considering the popularity the postil reached, it is interesting to note that the first quarto edition comprised over a thousand pages. The psychologically soul cleansing, pastoral approach is likely the explanation for the many editions.
Hi Olof! Thank you for your amazing explanation and for taking the time to let me know! It's really interesting.
Your excitement is contagious!
I don’t what happened exactly and how it is so irreparable … may be one day your handmade love will reach your granddaughter. Till then, keep having positive thoughts about the two of them. I dare not ask about your younger son … but bless him too. Your new life in Sweden will be full of new people and guests some day .. maybe some of us will land up at your door Eva! I’m looking forward to yiur painting and repainting and hanging art and removing them and hanging new art till it has some meaning for you .. that’s life … no ? Such a dance till you get the right step! Happy spider free life at the barn ! The cows will miss you … am I writing a letter ? I think so. P.S. I love both of you!
Hi hi, I do plan on making some nice things for my grandchildren in the future and I also think that one day they will come back in to my life. As for the new life in Sweden... I am so excited about it and definitely also about getting to know new people and making new friends over there too! And when we are starting the B&B it would actually be really nice to have people over from all kinds of countries and yes even maybe people from my RUclips channel too! I would love to meet some of you in real life for sure! As for the spiders I am currently trying to learn that they are my friends and thank goodness Sweden also has cows!
A thrift store at home, the dream! The bench will be perfect for taking little naps each next to him (cushions and pillows to come!). The yt algorithm led me to your channel, I think, because I am following another renovation project of an old Swedish school (Moaboa), and it seems that she lives less than an hour from you! I am sure you would have plenty of things to share! NB: ladders are treacherous and the physics of ladders is out from our understanding!
Hi Vanessa, starting a thrift-store in the house is definitely going to be a lot of fun and I actually also know the channel Moaboa because I am also subscribed to her channel. I was actually thinking about writing her a message.
@@EvasHomeVintageDIY If I had a thrift store at my house, I'm afraid to not be able to sell things I love which would be a bit problematic from a business point of view ;)
I am absolutely loving your creative style Eva x
Hi Amanda, thank you!
Oh you make me cry when you told about your granddaughter and the little mouse♥️♥️. I think you should make slomething for the mouse and then give it to your granddaughter when she is grown up then she know that you have thought at her and wanted to spend time with her❤ I wish you all the best and are looking foreward to follow your journey to Sweden. I love Sweden
Hi Gitte, I'm sorry I made you cry! I will definitely make some nice things for my granddaughter in the future when I have a bit more time and peace and quiet and maybe I will even something for the mouse!
Enjoyed! I’m looking forward to seeing the beautiful old furniture and decor in the school house!
What a joy to watch this. Glad I am not in your shoes. Two big projects. 😵💫😵💫😵💫 big respect! 💐💐💐
Hi Ineke, glad you liked it... I do love being in my shoes! ;)
How wonderful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
@@EvasHomeVintageDIY Most welcome! Subscribed as it will be fun to see a renovation that is not in the US.
❤❤❤ My fitness level was low😂😢
Well welcome to the club haha.. although mine is now slooooooowly going up.
My Eva, I'm going to share something with you. I lived in an area where I had to listen to others AGONY as they turned 30/40(!). Didn't bother me but when I turned 50, I realized that my life was half over, but it didn't depress me, it liberated me! I accepted that others did not have to like me, much less love me but they couldn't stay in my life if they were actually ill-wishing me, regardless of who they were. All of my birth family (my 3 sisters & my mother got all of the family property (not worth a lot) except the last 1 which I got a lawyer over), friends who used me as a driver,etc, the phone calls when they needed something with no return of help, a husband that was chronically unhappy (including the weather) & would become an ex-husband, all were just marginalized. I didn't have replacements for them, and I NEVER missed any of them. What does that tell you? The only exception was my son who I had the same relationship with as that patterned by his father. I got him through school, etc. but could never change his attitude to me. Why? Second part of wisdom, in any relationship, no matter how casual or profound there has to be an EQUAL desire to make it work out or it won't. Finally, after a daughter-in-law (no photographs of the wedding given to me, the wedding was out of the area & I was told 'you can attend if you want to'! etc., sound familiar?) started the same thing, I told him finally that any future with us meant a change. The grandchildren (very young) were used as bait as well, but it wasn't right to teach them to treat people without respect. I know you, like I regret that part, but we have to practice what I call mental self-defense & not look for it elsewhere. I hope you embrace YOUR life without tears & know that there can be a future that will include them if they want that and be happy in yourself.
You do not look a basketcase my dear you are lovely. I am so sorry that you have gotten Covid 19 4 times. I am thankful you are on the mend. It's never pointless to think of someone and gift them something made with love, maybe a throw blanket?? Selfcare is very important I hope you are doing well.
Such sweet scenes of Autumn in the Netherlands and of your friendly neighborhood cows. Eva, as a grandmother myself my heart squeezes with empathy for you about the situation with your grandchildren. I miss seeing sweet Nolan and pray all is well with him and your red-headed granddaughter. As for making progress, lately I have been feeling as if time is spinning its wheels and yet I can't accomplish anything. It's a strange dichotomy.
What a beautiful video! You are such a joyful noise in the world. I'm guessing the spiders didn't win the fight 😂. Every little thing you do is getting you closer to your new home, don't discount them. About the wee mouse, do what you intended for your grandchild no matter how old she is. I'm betting it will be a treasure to last a lifetime. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️
Hi, thank you for sharing this sweet comment... it really warms my hart!
😻
😄
With all the beautiful fabrics you have you may sew a cover for your machine; my mother in law did one and give it to me; it works very well against dust...
That's a really good idea!
Félicitations, quel joli couple et quel beau moment semble t-il! L'ancienne école est un beau cadeau de mariage que vous vous faites l'un à l'autre!
Good luck!
Thank you! That's very much needed😂
Pas problème avec la longueur de la vidéo (on a quand même eu le temps de chiner et construire un placard, "et voilà!"). J'adore les lampes, elles sont superbes, hâte de voir les pampilles mises en place (quelle chance de les avoir trouvées!)...
I'm ashamed to be almost healthy and not to be able to move my ass to do things! May you bring me the motivation! You're such a admirable woman!
Well..thank you! It's actually my RUclips channel that gets me up and running. It's really what motivated me to do all of these things.
@@EvasHomeVintageDIY Thank you for all the answers you took time to write, very appreciated! And let's go do things!
