In this video, she takes us on a full tour, showcasing secret rooms, wild decorations, crazy collections, and, of course, her homemade sweaters which paid for the entire project.

Hey Jenna. Congrats on reaching 1M subscribers. This was well earned and deserved!
This is my Fkn dream home 🌈 so whimsical 🥰
The library is amazing... And not just cos I have always fancied having a secret room.
I love colors so this House is an eye candy to me :)
Ironically, the less colorful bathroom as despite all the plants taking up the windows it somehow manages to be lighter than the rest of that house. Since it's currently wintertime I once again am reminded of how much I need daylight to stay positive and motivated. So while cozy the rest of the house is just to dark for me and the zen attic isn't lived in enough for my tastes. 😅
But the outside is gorgeous with all those colors ❣
Her respect for the family that lived there before is so touching. What a loving heart ❤️ also, I feel like with all the life she’s lived she should be like 340 yrs old lol
That's the part that made me cry. She is so sensitive and I guess so am I. I also live in a quirky very old house in upstate New York and tried to keep it 'theirs' but make it mine.
She has done something so wonderfully hippie
dellic, very fun to look at on a cold winter day. Don't ever leave it because it is a reflexion of your artwork. A house is a terrible thing to waste.
What respect? I think she kept that as something that would add originality to the house not because she was paying respect to the prev owner.
Might be the reason why the previous owners aren't haunting that house now, cause she didn't change certain things.
Where upstate? I'm in argyle. We got an 1859 farm house and are doing our best to keep it original. Next year we'll be removing the siding and restoring our barn. I have to admit I really hate it when someone buys an old home just to make it new. These homes are so precious. I love that my home has the spirit of the land woven in, with wood and other materials coming from the property. People were born and died in my home. No amount of money can recreate it. Its one of the great things the working class has access to. I hate to see rich people with their shite taste gut an old house.
Her house is beautiful. So much personality and soul, even in the "empty" rooms. I love people who aren't afraid to just be themselves.
We all need a friend like Kat, she really brightens up this world.
What a charming person and home.
😮 it’s you! I love your videos!
Like she said happiness is within you. I’m impressed she’s living her life her way.
Your home is so beautiful.
I can still remember when Kat first bought this house. She went to the paint store and said, “I’ll take a gallon of every color!” No other artist has inspired me as much as Kat has. In fact, if I was granted a wish to be able to meet one person in the world, it would be her. I love her free spirit, her beautiful smile, her compassion, talent, and decorating skills. My house and studio are deeply influenced by her, and I have even more appreciation of her and Calico after seeing this lovely video. Thanks for sharing!
Beautifully stated! ❤️
Look at you! YOU actually know Kat! Or wait, you said your one wish would be to meet her. So how do you remember when she bought her first home and what she said at the paint store? Lol. Just trying to understand bc my first thought was how cool it was that someone knows her in real life!
@@sarahgiselle918 If you read the description box she is on line.
Kat is creative AF! Love the house, her spirit...I used to follow PHISH all over the country, so I get it.
I had a ticket to see the grateful dead in NJ but I wasn't allowed to go bc it was a school night.
Jerry died a month or so later, so I never saw them live.
Anyway, Kat, you have a beautiful home!
@@lisathompson1128 that's great. Too bad you missed the GD. it's too bad I never took those opportunities when they were available to me back in the '90s. Now they're gone. Wonder if bands like that and musical culture like that will ever come around again. The 60s-90s was a heck of a time for musical culture across the board. I miss it now and I can't help feeling like those days are gone forever.
This women has got to be one of if not THE most precious human to ever live!!! Loooove her!!! 🥰
I really like the blue-finished floor... I've never considered having a natural timber finished in an unnatural colour but it looks mesmerisingly good here
That was my favorite feature of the house as well! It really stood out! Such a pretty color!
Agreed really cool idea!
Right? Same!
Agreed….it was simply beautifully different
Wow, that isn't just a home, it's an adventure. It's a neverending story disguised as a house. My favorite room is her studio, because of the big, yellow dresser. I'm an artist, and understand her hunger and thirst for constant change of her surroundings. There are as many ideas running through my head, as there are colors. So young Lady, I want to tell you to keep your visions and inner child alive because, "The universe is your canvas. Paint the sky!"
She has traded seeking adventure in the world for trying to fulfill her desire for adventure inside a house.
Well said!
She can make money giving tours as it would be like viewing an art museum. I like the kitchen a lot. Great sweaters!
Agree, that would be fantastic
I love the kitchen. All the different shades of seafoam green are so pretty.
Or she could do a bed and breakfast when her hands and wrists start hurting from all the sewing
@@NikkiC777 And all of the antique fixtures
Agree i Will absolutely pay for the tour, or stay for few day gonna be awesome, but not gonna lie i don't want to stay in guest room though that mask room creepy 🤣
Kat has been on Etsy a LOOONG time. Ive always wanted to see her amazing home. WOW! Its even more fabulous than I ever dreamed. Love your work Kat! You are a true artist!
This is one of the coolest houses I’ve seen with a lot going on without it feeling tooo overwhelming. It has a very fun vibe with a few spaces that can give calmness as she mentioned. I also love her partner’s room. Def feel the Hogwarts vibe .
“This is Blanch Devaro from the Golden Girls,!and she is made out of garbage”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG I absolutely love this woman and her one of a kind masterpiece original work of art home!!! She is a genius and I can’t believe I never heard of her or her crazy beautiful eclectic sweaters before!!! I loved this home and the artist who envisioned it and then created it!!
Cheers
It looks beautiful. -asher
I think Blanche would be mortified at that comment! 😅😅😅
I remember Bea Arthur's characters mother Estelle saying all the time that's because you're a slut, blanche and blanche always took it as a compliment...lol like when people call me a bitch I take it as a complement and wear it as a badge of honor
Oh no no no. Blanch is naughty and sassy but she's not a bohemian hippy
As another dead head who’s lived in vans and rvs and now a house,
“I don’t need anything but give me lots of it”
is exactly right
I vaguely recall meeting Kat on tour back in the day. And I have a GD tour trading card of her among some others and a couple band member cards. So cool to see her doing so well.
She’s adorable and made my heart smile. I love unique people
Honest to God, I was feeling so down today, one of those gloomy, winter, tearful days. Then I watched this and you SAVED ME! This is the most darling, eccentric place I have ever seen! You seem like the sweetest lady and your message at the end is wonderful, as well! Thank you for pulling me out of my dark place today!
I wish I was born healthy so that I could express myself as fully as this person. I am crying. Parts of her life are what my soul longs for.
Many suffering from chronic illnesses can and do find comfort in writing, perhaps that might give you a way of sharing yourself with the world?
@@TheAmyplumpness
That's a great advice/idea.. 💯👍🥰🥰🌹
I have this problem I was born with a bad bladder that is very painful and failing me. Ive never really had money or credit as i also was in a very abusive relationship for 9 years when I was younger. I totally understand where you are coming from almost all of what little money disablity gives me goes to my health and medications that my ins. Wont cover.
@@TheAmyplumpness I agree with this. Writing has helped me through a lot as well as singing. (If you can find a good support group that helps too. The pain groups made me feel worse. I ended up finding a home in the comedy community. Theyve even helped me get food and go to comedy shows and given me gifts after surgery. I am very greatful for them and my family. Sometimes its ok to let other people help you and show you that there is still more good than evil in this world. )
As a person that has rarely had a day without pain, I understand how difficult it can be not to let it drain the life out of you. I’m so happy that you found a supportive community…also laughter always makes life better. I also found groups that meet about their pain just brought me down.
I think writing your story is an excellent idea. I’m already interested just from what you have said here. Another idea would be to write about the kind, fascinating community you live in. I’m sure there are many people that live there that have interesting stories you could share. Take care of yourself…you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Even though I wouldn't design my house quite like this it does inspire me to design my home in a way that makes me happy. Total respect to this lady.
I've followed Kat for years now, and she is truly an incredible soul. Her sweaters are coveted by armies of people! Thank you for the great video, showing her magical wonderland!
what’s her instagram
@@mcqueenabonds3489 misskatwise😊
@@EugenieMacGillavry thank u
@@mcqueenabonds3489 🙏
Yeah, its magick alright.
She is a perfect example of someone following their excitement in life! What an amazing woman!
I'm glad she feels free to decorate to satisfy herself. I'd go nuts living in it myself...
A bit TOO much color for every day!
I think her secret is that she's already there. 😉
But in a good way 😊
Totally agree. Glad she is just painting/decorating and not making structural changes or ruining any of the woodwork.
The clutter makes me feel stressed 😵 but I do admire the way she can match different color schemes. Very impressive
I love her personality and I love EVERYTHING about her home. Her home would make for a great museum or bed and breakfast . I would visit or stay there.
Oh, a bed and breakfast would be a wonderful idea. What a calm, beautiful setting just to have a few days away. I often stay at B&Bs…much more interesting than hotels plus the people you meet become your friends. Staying in older homes and hearing their history are my favorites. I love her personality too. Hearing about all her travels snuggled up in that cozy room with a fire going would be wonderful.
She could make her home into a bread and breakfast to fund her lifestyle of adventuring around the world, which is why she has a sad doll, because her inner child needs to go on adventures and not be stuck inside a house.
Omg I just ❤️ her creativity and extreme passion…we need more people who truly decorate their home to truly match their personality instead of worrying about what is the latest “styles “ or making sure nothing is”dated” .
For me it’s a lot of thrifting and antique Victorian furniture, glassware, etc.
I just love seeing the excitement in her face and voice when giving the tour😊
I wish there was a "love" button. this video and the wonderful artist who created this paradise are so amazing. Truly
love this.
I love the deck/balcony. She is so creative, figuring out how to get all those different colors, patterns, and shapes to somehow work together. But her definition of a calm room makes me giggle.
She such a free spirit. She does what makes her happy. A life full of adventure and exploration.
She gets confused between “ I don’t need anything , so Give me lots of it” 😂😂😂😂that is a magical statement, that embodies what it is to be an evolved soul in a material body in a playground of an earthy world. Oh the joy may everyone on earth have their needs met, and then, may they feel the joy as this artist soul does so effortlessly. Confused? More like connected, and free. She wears her confusion well. ❤️✌️👏
I wish I could have her decorate my home. The life she brings to every space is what I can't seem to capture.
I’ve followed Katwise since my 2nd Glastonbury, so that’s over 20 years now!! This is such a joy to see and hear her. Thanks.
What a sweet soul, and amazing home she’s created! So glad we got to take a peak inside!
I love love love this house!!! This is like every hippie, bohemian, color freak's dream lol. I think it's so cool how she gets excited over stuff 😊
He who says Dogs are colorblind, hasn't seen a wolf paint a masterpiece of a glorious mountain morning with a gigantic hamburger sliding downhill for some strange reason that only a wolf or husky could understand .. And they have never been a Dog who seen this house
She has more personality than 1000 people combined!!! Although the property is a spectacular prism, she knows that it doesn't define her and she could be happy anywhere. The see through fish aquarium was worth all the trouble. In fact, the whole thing was worth all the trouble.....you have created a masterpiece.
First I love all you have done over the years with this palace-home you've created. Best statement ever was when you said " I went to college, but I don't know why?" Most of us I think or feel this way, just time spent, met some nice people that I have never seen before but still an experience. Your soul, true guidance.
WOW. Kat, and her house, are a royal trip! That was one helluva fun tour! Talk about psychedelia... I'm 70, so I was definitely around for a lot of that in its heyday. It'd be fun to visit - I'm sure there would be lots more to discover. I kinda really loved her kitchen the most. What a life she's led! Again, that girl is a trip! Loved this video, Jenna!
I really enjoyed seeing her house. She's unafraid to express herself and I love that .
Love Katwise's personality, her art, and her house. She is a real treaure!
I do like the end where she says happiness is within. Boy ain't that the truth. I think she is happy, but very busy. Nice tour
@@philmickey7247 most people don't realize that's the secret
I meant she did.
The long hooded sweater at 12:53 is absolutely gorgeous, she's very talented!🍀🎀🌟🍂🍃🍁🍃🌟🎀🍂🍀
I would like to say that this home owner is the true meaning of humble. She is full of grace and humanity. I love this. I live in Westchester County and I would love to visit this house....
This house and the woman who created it... well, it just gave me a happy feeling inside and i couldn't stop smiling while watching it. So much creativity, so amazing! So much personality!
OMG. I've followed Kat's creations for years, and have watched her house grow into this in bits and pieces. I can't believe I've not thought to look for an actual tour, and am SO DANG EXCITED your channel is hosting it!!!!!
Kat's sunshiney soul radiates through the screen. I feel happier just listening to her tell her story. Thank you! I needed her, and this, today. 🌈 😍🦄
I LOVE the blue stained wood floors in the attic zen room that opens to the balcony. I’ve never seen anyone stain hardwood floors in a synthetic color before but it’s STUNNING. 👌💙
WOW! I am SO happy that I 'clicked' on this video! She is absolutely AMAZING! She is beyond talented. I feel like I could listen to her talk about her life forever and never tired of hearing about them. She reminds me of a living, life size Rainbow Brite!
Thank you for letting us into your world, Kat! Hello from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦👋
I absolutely love this beautiful soul! I too follwed the Grateful Dead in the the 90's and she looks very familiar. I think I bought a couple of patchwork dresses from her. I wore them until they litereally fell apart. Unfortunately my memories of that time are hazy and it was 30 years ago! Shine on Sweet Sister! Congrats on your success and living your wonderful life! I LOVE the house! Every single room is perfect!
"The house that sweaters built". I still just make patchwork too. You were my inspiration to start selling on Etsy❤️
It’s so beautiful! She has always lived her best life without constraints. Her natural talent has carried her through life. I love her home and her view on life!
Love this young lady’s zest for life! Her tiny house really fits her great personality!
Kat and her wonderland just put a huge grin on my face, to match the one on the outside of her house. Delightful! Our chicken coop looks like one of her outbuildings, with the same green metal roof and board and battens. She has inspired me to paint it in rainbow hues. My granddaughter is looking at me sideways. 👀🌈
I love your attitude& style.As far as the house,you are extremely lucky.I would love a home like that.I am a 73 yr old hippy,& I can relate to it all. Thank you for making me smile.🥰😁☮♥️🙏😎
WoW!! I ❤️ loVe ❤️ how she honored the previous family by saving the growth chart on the wall. She’s extremely creative. Very fascinating. I prefer the calmer colors. To each their own!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love this. What a free Spirit you are, filled with joy! Thank you so much for sharing your oh so creative abode!
Hello M Petersen, how are you doing?
The ending was very refreshing. She actually keeps the color inside of her, the one of all the memories related to her possesions..But really matured to be prepared to loose all. That was amazing. You really are my favorite Channel of alternate living. Always with possitive surprises. Thank you.💜
I love her! “I get confused between being, like, ‘I don’t need anything, so get me lots of it.’ “
I didn’t realize it till now, but when a floor creaks when you walk across it, always brings back memories of my grandmas house.
My all time favorite home so far. Her quirky personality is inspiring. She gave some ideas for my tiny.
My fav is her balancing of all the colors and patterns on the exterior. She has a great eye with everything she has done on the buildings (bus included) and her sweaters make me smile.
Love it, especially the main bedroom. Nice to see someone who isn’t afraid of being herself. Her home is a reflection of herself. That is what a home should be!
This house is incredible. WOW. WOW. creativity. Color imagination. Im in awe. Love love love this lady's creativity. Absolutely beyond beautiful.
one of my favorite home features i love art deco and maximist style and i love that she was able to support her home with her art! as a maximilist myself i think we always want to be a minimalist but we have so many ideas for things we find and care deeply about each object we have.
Her house is so not my style, but it is completely amazing. It’s absolutely unique and inspiring to live life exactly who you are. This house is freedom.
AWESOME LADY, SPIRITUALLY HAS "GOT IT" all. Chaos, serenity and living in the moment; no attachments. APPLAUSE!
This is something special. It's like the Weasley's home meets Punky Brewster. Definitely worth a few more viewings with a nice cuppa tea.
Omg,I love her! And I want that sweater she put on !!!!!!
You can buy one from her Etsy shop, but they sell out literally in minutes!
She is absolutely living her best life, unapologetically. Love it!
WOW, I don't have enough words to explain how just viewing the inside of her home made me feel. All the history, eclectic charm and hard work she put into her space. I absolutely love it!
I LOVE this house! It is the kind of house I would want to live in. Love all the nooks and crannies, hidden rooms, unique items, etc. And the property is gorgeous - I could definitely enjoy sitting there just looking out the window (any window). What an amazing place to wake up every morning!
Beautiful Lady who is whom makes her house a happy home.
Every inch of her home is just oozing creativity!! I love it!!
This just blew my brain apart! I love her clothes! I totally understand the balance of loving intense colors and prints while still needing clean or plain things to balance them. I wear colorful clothes some days and black and grey on others while also decorating my house with colorful things but the walls are white. Thank you for sharing! Off to Etsy I will go!
projecting our soul can be so colourful, this was such a beautiful representation of that.
Kats' last words echo the sentiment that our possessions own us and, if that is so, then being owned by ectectic, fun, and colorful stuff is much better than being owned by boring stuff.
I love seeing people live their lives so joyfully. What a lovely soul 😊
Thanks for sharing her story. Her personally and her house is a breath of fresh air 😄 that lifts your spirits.
I love how humble and down-to-earth she is.
It is obvious she loves her property, lots of care and design goes into each building. She seems honest and kind, and a talented artist, too.
What a lovely home and a lovelier woman! What struck me the most was how she viewed happiness, although she loves the house, she knows it is still a material thing and that true happiness comes from within.
By the way, my favorite was the secret library and the outdoors! Also your sweaters!! They look awesome.
well spoken for me too, tyvm.
This is such a special video. Seeing her house made me so happy. It's her dream house and it brings her joy. Thats what matters.
This was the most inspiring thing I’ve seen in a long time. She brought me so much peace. Thank you for sharing.
Katwise!!! One of the most inspiring women I’ve ever laid eyes on!
An incredible house, and more than that, a beautiful story of Kat's life and love the words at the end - inspiring and something that we should all cultivate! Thanks for sharing your story, Kat
I love her so much. I forgot I was watching this for the house. She is so pure and perfect I was just so interested in everything she had to say. I literally cried at the end. Why aren't there more people like her in this world. 😭💚
I need to know more about her life and challenges she has faced. I think we all could be her but we instead have so many responsibilities forced upon us. Adulting is hard. Doesn't she worry about health coverage or retirement? She is delightful.
This is one of the most amazing, uplifting videos ever! I’m in love with her spirit and how she lives out her ART! Such a treasure!
love her! she has such a light energey about her. het non attachment is to be admired. and love those sweaters! and shes so non-pretentious...with her vintage machine. thank u!
Jenna's hair looks amazing in this video and Kat is the most creative and down to Earth person I have ever seen.I can't wait to check out her shop.
I think she has a young and lovely spirit. Her home is unique! Congrats to her on her success. This is 1 I admire because she's self made .
…..”I don’t need anything, so give me lots of it!”…..love that line!
What a delightful lady and story!
She and her house make me feel so happy, excited and inspired. Just love it! And totally get her feeling at times of being overwhelmed by home ownership with all its baggage. But she’s right, knowing you’d be fine without makes it tolerable…
This was very interesting and beautiful…her personality is just as beautiful thank you🌈💕
Her house is amazing. I absolutely love every bit of it.
That thick chunky sweater with the long elf hood was incredible..
Love this! We need more people doing their houses how they like and not what is "normal"
The problem is people view houses as investments and not homes.
I work with someone that's like this. Her outlook is that she is going to paint her house the way she wants - including making one room look like the inside of a castle - because she plans on living and dying in the house. She's not concerned with resale value because she doesn't ever intend on selling it. She's got multi colored rooms and loves Harry Potter, and one of her kids' rooms is covered with professionally done graffiti art. She's honestly one of the best humans I've ever met and is an amazing parent. I told her the world would be a better place if we had more parents like her and I meant it.
I really love this house. It’s perfect. I see her next house with a bed, a sofa, a kitchen and very empty rooms. I understand.
Love her attitude. Love your place. Is beautiful and the details are amazing. I would not trade that house for nothing in the world. It looks like a healing shelter.
Had to pause to cry. Her house is like my dream home and seeing it visually just helps me believe its possible.
Oh my gosh I knew Kat way back in my crazy crafting days. What a fun, inspiring video showing her magical side. So fun !!
Very interesting and whimsical. It would be way too overwhelming for me visually. So I can feel her statement... "If I lost it all..I'd be free." She is very sweet and creative.
That was the line that stood out to me, too. Even in the way that she speaks, you can tell she likes order but is dripping with creativity.
The personality of the house really reflects Kat Wise's personality. Fun, young at heart, uplifting & on the wild side of questionable, but it all makes sense when you think of it. When room decor changes drastically, you know as a guest it brings on a different personality of it's own. I don't think my personality shines throughout my home, but Kat has brought her home to life with expression, love & crazy fun which can make everyday bright & cheery.
I love this house … what a fun happy place to live in, very hard to pick a favorite but I love her bedroom , room with fireplace and kitchen … well let’s just make the whole house . 💜💜💜
