Hi Jenny , about the stove ....,you said the fire doesnt last when u close the doors ,...of course not ,..the most lower door has to remain half open in order to help the smoke go out ..., then when the fire s gonne you have to close it to keep the heat! Try it and update it to me :) , kisses !
Sauna in Swedish is "bastu". In case you haven't figured it out yet that sauna is your bathroom... If you don't have running water, the sauna is where you get cleaned up. You can heat up water inside the sauna and mix it with cold water to get the temperature you like and then you wash yourself in the sauna. That's how we did it in Sweden in the olden days.
I give you alot of credit. I'm at a crossroads in my life and trying to build up the courage you showed to make a big move. I admire you and am so sorry for all your losses. Wishing you the best. Susan from USA
im doing it, not moving to sweden but making some big moves, and it takes time to get your mind wrapped around it, andplus stay away from the naysayers or people that have a selfish agenda that like to see you stay stuck. Thats the first thing I did, dropped those people
So happy you know how to appreciate the hard work of the moles. My friends and I love their faces (sometimes one cachés à glimpse of them)and their ploughed Earth for our potagers😊
You mait already have got this tip for the logg fire. But when you start the fire it usually need a bit more air / ventalation to start of with becase the pressure in the pip is lower then in the stow. So keep the hatch half open for about 5-10 min . Until the fire have burned a good wile. Then you can close the top smal one, But be aware that the lower smal one the gridd need to be open to let the air in. only to be closed when you whant to put it out.
Seeing the inside of your cottage and the way it's setup gives me a better appreciation of my family humble beginnings..lol...I love it. I would love to own something like this it's quaint and quirky and warm and inviting...ENJOY LIFE
I love it. You made the right decision and got it very cheap. Your whole family will love it too, especially the children. Enjoy and cherish the memories that will be made in the near future.
Welcome to Sweden 😀 Nice to meet you and congratulations to your beautiful little cottage 🌷 Hope to see you back here soon and Looking forward to your adventures in our country 👍 Love Ing 🇸🇪
I love love that you have the oldest house in your village and that you incorporated elements of nature from there into your house to blend your style with the new surroundings you so adore...i adore your cottage...and your willingness to get water from a well ...a wonderful trade to be out in nature...beautiful home truly
Oh, my goodness, Jennifer!! You’re my hero!! I’ve been trying to see me in five years and I have nothing... due to our United States issues! If I could leave this instant I would!! Ireland, Scotland, Sweden or Norway - I adore them all! Please keep the videos coming and my heart is truly with you and your family! Wish I could be there to share a meal cooked on the wood stove! My childhood and early adult years were spent on my grandparents cattle ranch in Northern California where we lived such a wonderfully simple (if sometimes inconvenient) life! Good for you!! I’m definitely a fan of the lifestyle!!
Same here, I’m from the Netherlands and I would love to live in a forest. Nature brings us at peace, like god intended to. In Holland there’s almost no nature left anymore, which isn’t good for your soul.
Kathi Burdette Hi Kathi ...... I was commenting on this page, when I came across yours and all what you just said in your comment is great and amazing. Kathi I will like us to be friends, This is my Gmail raymondgogolf@gmail.com you can text me sorry for comment on Public stuff. please the gmail is only for Kathi kindly text me on this gmail if that is okay with you? I hope to hear from you soon.....God bless you.🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I've just found your videos today and what a delight, Jennifer! I studied in Sweden for two years and miss it every day. Your pursuit of your dreams is so inspiring and I look forward to following your journey.
enjoyed your cottage video and looking forward to more. I live in USA and simple living is a craving I have always had. Looking forward to more viedos.
Very nice place. I lived alittle like this in northern sweden untill October 2017. Then i did about the same as you, But for me it was a move to a small village in Hungary. Its really an adventure to break up and start all over in a new place.
Hi Jennifer. Nice house you bought. A little unusual then with a small kitchen. The most common in old Swedish houses is that the kitchen is the largest room and so a small "chamber" as a bedroom. As you have probably seen, we do not normally have shutters, yes some have it as decoration. Hope you will enjoy yourself in Sweden and with us Swedes, we may be a little unavailable at first but then ...
Thanks Krister. The small kitchen maybe due to the fact it was possibly a soldatorp, but almost certainly the oldest house in the village. The neighbours have been really welcoming, so far!
I first went to Sweden in 1973 we stayed in Kalma. My guys parents were beyond fabulous, a little shy and guarded at first. For Midsommer we went to their country house and Rolfs Daddy made me a wild flower crown and we took the record player into the garden and danced around until after midnight. Sweden will always own half of my Heart. Australia 7.12pm 1 January 2021.
Thank you for showing us your lovely home I think it looks more beautiful outside than inside I'm not sure if it was your decor or some of the pieces all over the place but it could do with some work but thank you for showing us your lovely home
Hi Jen, you do have a gift for voice over work. That's a great sauna in the garden, a really good winter treat I always think. I love the cottage and the environment around but that toilet...
Love it! I grew up in Kansas near Lindsborg Kansas "Little Sweden" and I love the clean, bright Swedish decor! My mom lives there a couple times and so did I. My mom used to paint Dala Horses.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions...This will help a lot of people looking to make changes in life... Kindness your way Neil {Lochness Scottish Highlands }
Delightful! Very charming and inspiring. Congratulations on your adventure. You are living a wise saying: "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think." Wish I were there to lend a hand with your garden.
@@JenniferCarterWriter I wasn't implying a criticism -- I enjoy gardening and being productive. For me, it would be fun! I've never been to Sweden, but I imagine it is a marvelous place. From your videos, it certainly appears that way. Thanks again.
I was born in Uddevalla! I left when I was very young. Now I live in Canada 🇨🇦. I really enjoy your videos of first homeland. It’s so beautiful. Please keep them.coming. Canada seems very similar to Sweden except where I live it gets very cold!! God Bless
My great grandfather brought his family to the United States from Sweden. My son has traveled there as part of a Basketball goodwill trip for teams and loved it. And happy to subscribe and see the countryside and learn about your life there. Seems many are embracing the simplicity and wholesomeness of earlier days. Guess we better all learn to make wax candles again! Enjoy!
Welcome to the north.make sure you have plenty of firewood.always. and don't be shy to ask the locals for ideas on how and when to do what. Old traditions are usually the smartest and the fastest way to do things.greetings from🇫🇮
Nice to hear you speak lovable about things we are used to, living here in Sweden. Not everybody have the opportunity to own such a nice cottage...byt more and mode people seem to move out to one now instead of living tight in the cities. I am now over 60 and will downsize to this typ of cottage soon...but with running water and live there yearround..I like your thinking about doing NOW and not later.. exactly what I felt after loosing my husband.To do now.. and not later.. because there might not be a "later"..Greetings.. Gina
I just happened to run across your video while watching some art video's on RUclips. This made me so happy. I don't know you, but I am so happy for you. You sound like you have been through a lot. I can see the joy that the cottage brings to you. I wrote down what you said about the "5 years" in your other video. It really is something to think about. I'm going to subscribe and hope to see a garden one day! Best wish from New Mexico, USA.
It is her plan and her dream, but I personally dont like it, it looks like everyones leftovers all dumped in the house, and the outside is a mess....maybe they will do a little bit of work and give it some charm and personality!!
Oh, yes! I would have bought that place in a heart beat! My great-grandparents came to the U.S. from Sweden, but I’ve never been there. When my retirement time rolled around, I moved to Mexico, and I absolutely love it here. But I keep thinking that I need to go visit Sweden. I’ve done lots of genealogy, so I know about zillions of ancestors, but I think I need to go there to get a feel for what their lives might have been like. (My other great-grandparents came from England and I spent a month traveling around there three years ago. It was wonderful to visit the towns where they lived and walk the streets they walked. Now it’s time to do the same in Sweden.) I just found your channel, and I look forward to following your adventures.
How wonderful to have a Swedish heritage. I hope you have (or make) an opportunity to visit Sweden one summer. Everyone I know that has visited has loved it!
I'm from Sweden and I have relatives in Florida and North Dacota. I live in a family farm and many many years ago there was men who went to Minnesota. One came home and the other stayed. I dont know were he lived after that but I have a nice picture of him . A handsome gentleman whith a big fur coat and a nice stick in his hand. Sometimes I wonder if he got married and had kids. Arizona lives one who I have met one time. It is interesting.
Very nice and comfy cozy cabin. Love your cook stove and the fireplace. The reason for pinecones originally is they are great firestarters. Enjoy that wonderful home. I have designed my cabin for when I find land. I plan to be totally off grid there too. I am now on rented ground for the past 7 years.
My God, to go through so much loss you would have to put me in The Nut House because I'm halfway there anyway. But you still seem to have a warm beautiful outlook on life and I really admire that. you have realized either you lie down in crumble during adversity or you pick up the rest of the pieces and go on with your life. Thank you for your tour and I hope you and your family have many years of Wonderful beautiful memories in your cottage.
Great movie, so glad you enjoy your cottage! Just wanted to say that those pine cones and bark in that basket are excellent fire starters. At least that's why we collect them and what we use them for. We use those for our woodstove and our fireplace in our cottage. And get the chimney sweeps in to fix that chimney - there's nothing like food cooked on a wood stove, I tell you! I don't know why but everything tastes sooo much better. I hope you'll be very happy in your new home. We actually moved permanently to ours as we loved staying there so much. :-)
Did you open the vent? When you get the fire started make sure the fire gets air from bottom. Aka don’t stack that with wood so much. Also close the door when you see actual fire going on and open the bottom door. So there would be air flow
We watched the Swedish Homestead for years but now they've moved to Austria but we still love them. Not sure where you are from. We watched your video when you just bought the cabin. We bought a 211 acre farm for our kids and grandkids but they never wanted to visit so we finally sold it.
Yes, I miss the Swedish Homestead too! I’m from the UK 🇬🇧. You’re not the first person to comment but the dream of the family enjoying it didn’t turn out quite how they expected.
Sauna in Swedish is bastu :) such a cute little house! I love the very old stove, must be late 1800s or something? My parents summer house has one of those, my grandmother grew up in that house and she's over 90 years old :)
Be sure and have the stove pipes/chimneys cleaned out on a yearly basis to prevent flue/chimney fires. That might be why the kitchen stove won't stay lit. Enjoy your treasure!
Or you haven’t opened the chimney, there is usually a metal rod sticking out of the chimney that you need to push/pull called “spjäll”. It is to avoid cold air coming down the chimney when there is no fire going.
Thanks Richard! I’m happy that I’ve made some choices which have meant that I’m able to spend time in this beautiful place, even though buying it was pretty nerve-wracking for a few weeks!
well done gal ,it takes a certain type of person to break out into the unknown, been there and still there all positive ,so now your next challenge surely must be to drive to sweden at a nice relaxed pace ,i have made a few moves like you have and have loved every minute of it, and i always took a plane ,that was until i decided to drive for a nice change ,and it was the best decision ever ,living next to the black sea ,my drive to the UK takes 3 days ,but the journey is fantastic and a lot more enjoyable than flying, good luck cleaning the flue ,but i am sure if you ask a local they will come up with a answer for you, a top tip about putting wood in the fire to make them last longer in the evening ,is to stand your wood in a bowl of water for 10 minutes before retiring for the night and they will burn slowly during the night ,,all the best ,,
You have probably already discovered that the pinecones make excellent kindling for starting a fire. You can even dip them in beeswax to make a fire starter, though isn't that the point of kindling? True, but the wax gives them super starting powers. 😁 Great cottage, great channel and fantastic video! I shall follow along. Thanks!
I love seeing you videos and your entusiasm about my country!! ✨🇸🇪 Use the rest of used Coffee not the liquid just rest ( kaffe sumpen) and mix it with Forrest soil and you can grow veggies and herbs easly Then during winter you buy (Säckväv)and cover it so i it is sheald from snow And in spring you remove it and it will grow again..
What a sweet cottage! I don't know you, yet I'm very happy for you, and sharing your enthusiasm & joy :) (BTW, I am Swedish by ancestry but have never been there...)
Welcome to Sweden and congratulations to the new home! I think you will find the locals very helpful and full of knowledge how things work in Sweden in general and locally in particular.

I would love to get a feel of a whole room. It is hard to see with so many close-ups, though the close-ups are definitely enchanting.
I guess in small room without wide angle camera there is no other option to film it :)
Agreed, I desperately wanted her to back up to see the whole room.
Just beautiful

Great channel! You're living my dream and you've got a really beautiful place, you're so lucky!
Thanks Richard! I’m happy that I’ve made some choices which have meant that I’m able to spend time in this beautiful place, even though buying it was pretty nerve-wracking for a few weeks!
Welcome to Sweden!
Great tour and narrative. Love your cottage 💖
Love this cottage !!!
;looks so calm and lots of hygge... I love it x
Lots of hygge! 👍🏻
Hygge (Danish) in Swedish is mysig and in Norwegian koselig.
well done gal ,it takes a certain type of person to break out into the unknown, been there and still there all positive ,so now your next challenge surely must be to drive to sweden at a nice relaxed pace ,i have made a few moves like you have and have loved every minute of it, and i always took a plane ,that was until i decided to drive for a nice change ,and it was the best decision ever ,living next to the black sea ,my drive to the UK takes 3 days ,but the journey is fantastic and a lot more enjoyable than flying,
good luck cleaning the flue ,but i am sure if you ask a local they will come up with a answer for you,
a top tip about putting wood in the fire to make them last longer in the evening ,is to stand your wood in a bowl of water for 10 minutes before retiring for the night and they will burn slowly during the night ,,all the best ,,
You have probably already discovered that the pinecones make excellent kindling for starting a fire. You can even dip them in beeswax to make a fire starter, though isn't that the point of kindling? True, but the wax gives them super starting powers. 😁
Great cottage, great channel and fantastic video! I shall follow along.
Thanks!
That's so nice! Love it
What a beautiful house! Can’t wait to visit soon
Me three!

Use the rest of used Coffee not the liquid just rest ( kaffe sumpen) and mix it with Forrest soil and you can grow veggies and herbs easly
Then during winter you buy (Säckväv)and cover it so i it is sheald from snow
And in spring you remove it and it will grow again..
Thanks Tillymea, appreciate your suggestions for improving the soil!
What a sweet cottage! I don't know you, yet I'm very happy for you, and sharing your enthusiasm & joy :) (BTW, I am Swedish by ancestry but have never been there...)
Nice to see a vlog by simeone closer to my age! You go!!!
Welcome to Sweden and congratulations to the new home! I think you will find the locals very helpful and full of knowledge how things work in Sweden in general and locally in particular.
I don't know why but I had the misconception that foreigners were not allowed to own property in Sweden.
Welcome to Sweden:)
You Rock too Jennifer:)
Is Sweden doing well escaping the world madness?
May the Universe nurse your bruised and battered Heart back to full health after the loss of a child.
