Rosie, Rosie, Rosie. What a breath of fresh air you are to RU-vid. I so admire your Optimism, Determination, your "Can Do" attitude, your simplicity of life but you show incredible abilities to overcome issues and deliver on your objectives. Young lady, you are a credit to yourself. Others can learn so much from your example. Well done. Oh and a very talented videographer, Editor and Narrator.
Your videos calm my brain. Meticulous planning has likely saved you many extra headaches. On top of all these renovations you are doing remote work, coordinating the camera, AND editing. Your efforts are not lost on me, and the quality of your content shows to care you put into it.
Hi, I live alone in northern Sweden and I've followed you from the start. At first I wondered why you didn't talk to Swedes about what was practical when it came to heating, building, clothing, etc. I'm glad I didn't write anything that could make you lose your incredible determination and admirable energy and creativity. What I admire most is your careful and precise way of planning, filming and carrying out the construction and your ability to tackle the work despite cold, adversity and probably days of discouragement/depression. Bravo Rosie, you are a true role model!
Dear Rosie, I want to thank you for taking me along on your journey.... I love very much your walks as I can now go along with you! I can no longer get out and do my own walks or rather rides as I was once an avid equestrian who explored our beautiful earth with my beloved horses. I'm now 77, have end stage COPD, and just learned I have lung cancer, so I now spend my days in bed watching RU-vid and crocheting items to gift to those who would like fuzzy hats, hand warmers, slippers or coverlets. So you are now my freedom to wander and feel nature once again and to experience joy in seeing your beautiful creations. Thank you so very much 😊!! Life must have a purpose and you have grand purpose 😊. Thank you again with all my heart ❤️ Granny L.
In addition to your building accomplishments, your filming prowess is mind-blowing, Rosie. Every shot cinematic, and so many I can’t fathom how you achieved. Brava!
@@agresticumbraand some of them are so steady as to not seem like drone shots. It really is like watching a crane shot or something. Maybe she has one of those, too😂 Just so much talent.
I can't imagine how much time it must take to set up drone shots like these. Schlepping for hours on a bike is bad enough without stopping halfway, unpacking a drone, setting up a program, starting it, jumping on the bike to get the shot, stop, land the drone, package everything up, and get back on the bike. Woof.
Haha yup, exactly how that goes. It's sort of a blessing the drone battery doesn't last for more than 15 minutes total, so you're forced to be quick every time you use it!
Hey Rosie. I love the hanging rails. They look so neat. Maybe it would be easier to put your clothes in hangers to dry and hook the hanger over the rods. Less creases in clothes this way too. Another wonderful video and looking forward to seeing the progress in the next room. 😀
I hang items on clothes hangers from a rod near the ceiling. Regular plastic hangers doubled up for jeans. I have some wooden hangers now. Shaped hangers for nice-looking shoulders. Clothing lasts longer and doesn't get that horrible pilling of the fabric.
I love your videos they are so quietly peaceful yet chockfull of creative liveliness. How about building a hanging ladder dryer to hook onto your nifty drying poles? That way it’s removable and you have a lot more drying racks when you need it. 🪷
We watched you as a family on the big screen this morning! My husband turned to my daughter and said, "Wasn't that so relaxing?" Your videos are perfect for a cozy Sunday morning! Love seeing your progress.
In the summer pick som moss and put it out to dry over the summer. In winter you put it between the 2 panels of glass and it will absorb the damp between the glass. No condensation.
@wildrosie i recently watched a video by Marcus Storm who is a Swede who baught a house near his family. In the video (chapter 14) his family came over to help and his mom put wool in between the windows and seakes rhe windows with paper strips. Congratulations on the 100.000 subs.
It is not wool it is cotton and you buy them in the store. When you put them in you have paperstrips with glue on to close the winow off for the winter. A suggestion for your facetreatment: when it is cold outside (-15 and colder) do not wash your face in the morning, if you do you wash away the natural protection on your skin. And do not put on facecream that contains water.
@@gunlindblad6816 You can wash your face . Use and oil product like Argan or Jojoba to protect your skin after washing . I will keep your face moisturaised and protected
There is a product called “fönstervadd”, windowfloss that you ca put between the windows to reduce condensation, i think it’s made from woodpulp. Traditionally you could also use renlav, or fönsterlav (cladonia stellaris) as well. Pick and dry during summer and put between the windows during winter. It’s quite decorative!
I think a lot of you Rosie! You are a self-taught tenacious Woman who is making great strides in turning your house into a HOME! I take my hat off to you from one Woman to another!! I love your “pioneering spirit” with no difficulty in your admitting to when you could have done a better job. Your a breath of fresh air and how I look forward to each and every Video! Congratulations Rosie; I am so glad I can join you on your journey in Sweden!! 😃✨🇨🇦
It's amazing what you can do, when YOU ARE your resource!!! I LOVE making homemade artisan soaps! I learned from my Great Grandmothers, Grandmothers, and my Mom!! My Grandmothers have been gone for decades, and my Mom passed away last year, at age 91. I am forever in their embrace and debt, for teaching me 'home' skills! Thank you, Rosie, for the special little reminder of something so dear to me!! Sending LOVE and encouragement from this 71 year old farm lady! From Napoleon Missouri USA
Wonderful how the internet allows all this beauty, knowledge and skills to connect up round the world….. I get the ‘pioneer’ spirit from both you guys and many of the comments…….. Thanks ‘Grandma’/Ancestors and Rosie! Your vids and sharings ‘hark back’ to the knowledge and skills we once had and took for granted and are now ‘on the rise’ again :) Enjoy All
Rosie, you are so inspiring! I have followed your story and am amazed at what you have accomplished! A few months ago I realized at 58 I was exhausted. I sold my home and bought a tiny cabin! I am slowly starting projects and get wonderful ideas from you! I can't wait to see what is next!
What a hard working woman you are. Your life is just so different from 21st century norms and expectations but you take it all in your stride. Such strength of character and such a treat to enter into your world with you. Thank you, Rosie.
What is truly amazing about this young lady is that: there is no pretence or false images being projected. Such an honest and raw production. In a strange way I hope sponsers will help make your life easier (you deserve it) but then I cannot help but think it will spoil you! regretably and selfishly! You have a beautiful, honesty, soul and charisma that needs to be recognised and rewarded without detracting from what you are and want. Bravo young lady.
"That was disproportionately exhausting!" At this point I'm back in Rosie gear. For these two weeks as my sister slowly heads toward her end of life (she has a good husband, I'm an hour away alone in the woods, texting with her through the days) thanks to one of Rosie's fans I've been bingeing Martijn Doolaard's channel. From my point of view both of these creators are modeling creative introverts happy alone, making stuff. Fans often imagine romance arising in the plot line. As I often say to people, if I wanted to find a man, would I have moved here?
Prayers for your sister….and for you and her husband to find some solace….💕💕💕💕 May you have a peaceful Christmas…🎶💕🎄🎶 So glad you bought a few pretty items… Congratulations on surpassing 100,000 subscribers. Job well done!!!
It's easy to imagine, or maybe wish, that Rosie and Martijn, would connect, they seem so similar. But there's also something to be said for them not connecting, each of them just continuing being content with life as it is.
Truly wonderful to read many comments of women supporting you, Rosie, for your abilities and what you’re creating by yourself. You definitely have skills and a creative eye beyond that of most people. I’ve watched several of your stories multiple times because of your creativity and your videography. Your greenhouse is awesome. Hope you’ll do another story on it and your gardens. Congrats on now 140K subscribers. Hoping you reach 200K very soon!
Your Foreo add. I lolled. 'elevated my simple living xperience to luxury glamping', and it with your bed 'ive peaked in life here'. Love, love, love. Thankyou
I love watching you! You are hilarious! It's been yonks since I've watched someone with such an addictive personality and refreshing sense of humour! 😂 Never change Rosie, you are amazing! CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 100 000 SUBS! SO WELL DESERVED!!!
I live in the USA & can’t wait for the next video! You are an inspiration & so talented! Word to the wise. Don’t put candles in the bookcase. Especially under dry plants. My husband is a professional firefighter of 45 years. He freaks if I have a candle under anything flammable, even cabinets or shelves.
Your indoor clothesline looks lovely! I’m not sure if a Victorian indoor clothesline would have fitted the attic door, but you would have been able to pull it down to hang your clothes and then pull it back up again… Anyway, love how the hallway/entryway is becoming a multipurpose functional little room itself.
Great video! Could you perhaps modify your drying rack, using the same Idea but making an actual rack that can be suspended from the ceiling at all 4 corners. Pulleys would let you lower the rack to hang your washing, and then pull it back up. We used to have one in our cottage many years ago.
Hi Rosie, I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your channel. I was surprised and very happy to see that you now have 100,000 subscribers. It dawned on me that you are one of the channels I look most forward to watching. I think it’s the combination of this solitary rugged life you live and the creativity you possess. You are one of a kind. I’m glad you decided to use RU-vid and take us along for the ride.
Hi Rosie! I’ve been following almost a dozen RU-vidrs whom like you a transforming a home, cottage, tiny home or homestead. Eight of the dozen drop new weekly RU-vid videos on Sunday. It’s your channel that I look forward to watching most! Admire your perseverance, excellent workmanship and self reliance. Your home is looking cozy, practical and so carefully crafted for function with multipurpose spaces, it’s a joy to see you happy with each and every project completed. I’m beginning to imagine that after your home is near completion, you might share your art, sewing, gardening and cooking with your growing audience. Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤
Thank you Rosie. You're living such a sane life. The little entry is perfect and fresh. Something from nature on the wall might give it a more organic look- I know you will know what to do :) The drone shots of you riding your bike on the snowy road, so small against the expanse of trees is full of the deepest joy. Love the Christmas touches at the end. A true artist and designer.
I love "I built myself a bed and now I have this little thing". I love the simplicity of your life and your pleasure with the small things. I love your peaceful tea making. So wonderful!
Wonderful! So much hard work but it's great to see the results. Your chanel is magical! You could dry your clothes in hangers and hang on the drying rack
Congratulations Roaming Wild Rosie on your youtube recognition. I enjoyed this episode so much. Your scenic filming with the drone was top notch! You and I live completely opposite lifestyles. It brings me peace and calm when I see what your accomplishing as a female alone. You're a wonder! Thank you for all your hard work & inspiration..
I think I have been watching your videos since the days you started and I am always amazed how wonderfully you evolved with your handy skills! Isn't it so brilliant to see how much we can learn and achieve when we get an opportunity! Wonderful how you build it all and how cosy your home is. It seems you'll need a little shed for all those things like long pieces of timber and other stuff to store. ;-)
@@wildrosieI've thought of that...and hoped you might consider it for sometime in the near future! Wouldn't that be wonderful! Rosie's WORKSHOP! Let it be so!
@@wildrosie I think you have the right to build 2 complementary buildings without having a building permit. otherwise, there is the possibility to build an Attefall building of 30 Sqm without a building permit. It shouldn't be that expensive if you do most of it yourself. But there are many trips back and forth with the bicycle trailer to pick up timber
I do believe that was the most humble “I’ve reached 100,000 subs” announcements in RU-vid history. Rosie is just a gem of a person 💕. I love what you do and I check all the time to see when a new video has been posted! Yours is my favorite content on RU-vid
Aww..when you opened your RU-vid plaque and looked at the camera and smiled, I felt so happy and proud of you. That may sound strange for being proud of you, but I feel like I know you. You've worked so hard on the renovations. You have not taken an easy route with it either. You are living a life I dream of , I feel like someday I could do it too, thanks to your inspiration. You go girl! Thank you for teaching us through your life style what really matters, living your life on your terms❤👏
I admire you Rosie. You achieved so much with your own hands and you always seem so relaxed, no matter the obstacles. Kudos👍. I wish you a merry x-mas and a happy and healthy new year🎉
I often find myself full of silent tears watching Rosie's videos...the gentle reminders of calm, kindness, laughter and peace...so desperately needed in our frenetic world. I'm so very grateful for Rosie's willingness to gently call us back to ourselves.
I just found your RU-vid channel a few weeks ago, and I am hooked. This young woman, out in the middle of nowhere, who is renovating and bringing back to life and older building with just her bare hands, and what knowledge she can get from RU-vid, from books and from other people, is absolutely awesome. I cannot wait to see what you do next. Do you ever take time out for yourself to just relax and enjoy the work that you’ve done to date?
I think painting the little entry with so many doors all the same light color makes it feel bigger and more of an actual room....great decision. You can add your personality in other ways. I suggest you hang your drying items from the poles on clothing hangers, you will be able to hang more and wont have to reach so high. I make my own foaming hand soap with Dr Bonners...2 tablespoons of unscented Bonners with 20 drops of essential oils of choice and fill foaming dispenser with distilled water....so economical! Or you could use your tee tree scent Bonners and skip the essential oils. BTW I love your humor and also enjoyed your sharing of your beauty care. The video was so calming. Do you ever feel like crying on that long arduous trip to town and back? I think I would. Blessings to you.
Congratulations on your RU-vid award. You deserve all those viewers and more! I love what you did with the little drying room. The paint makes it feel so bright and bigger. The dowels are very close to ceiling but perhaps hang some items on hangers. You probably would yield more items. The aerial footage is so beautiful. Rosie, you are so accomplished at whatever you attempt to do.
You're such an inspiration , never could I imagine someone leave London to live in the nordic wild and do such a renovation all by herself! Bravo! I admire your strenght!
Eigenlijk ben ik nog maar bij story 32, dus dit is voor mij een sneak preview. Het leukst zijn toch alle ongewenste adviezen die je krijgt, neem een hond, kat, kippen en doe extra isolatie, plastic folie, koop een grasmaaier, bosmaaier, kettingzaag. Het toont de betrokkenheid van mensen, maar trek je er alsjeblieft niets van aan en ga gewoon je eigen gang. En ja, dat is in essentie ook een ongevraagd advies. 😅 In ieder geval bedankt voor de video's, ik hoop dat er nog veel mogen volgen en dat het stijgende aantal volgers ook iets doet met de inkomsten uit dit kanaal. Succes!
Hahaha ja het houdt nooit op hè? Als ik alle adviezen aan ging over alle spullen die ik écht nodig zou hebben, zou ik een tweede huis moeten bouwen om het allemaal in op te bergen 😂
When we were in Japan I noticed that they hung their clothes on coat hangers, then on racks like the one you built. I loved the idea so when we got home a made a similar rack. I have high ceiling so I put in a pully system above the fire. Worked a treat. Also got those little circles with pegs that have hangers for smalls. On another note I have just been installing some reclaimed cupboard doors. I was keen on all this stuff before watching your channel but not super brave about it. You've inspired me. Thank you 🙏🏻🌱
The inner strength you have to deal with each problem as they come up and find a solution to them is truly admirable! I so enjoyed sharing this video with you. Hope your Christmas will be peaceful. Thank you for this.
Tip: when drilling the big holes, drill part way through then flip over the board and finish the rest. This way you won't get the big tear out when the drill bit breaks through. Congratulations on 100k!
Every time I watch one of your videos I'm even more impressed. It's great to see you just do it. No complaining, no easy life, you just do it. You've chosen a very tough way to do things but your will power is spectacular. We need more people like you on planet Earth =)
It is not necessary to lay the boards indoors. It is necessary to place them above the ground, on old boards or logs; each row of boards is separated from the next through board spacers of 1-5 cm, for ventilation. And cover tightly with a tarp. Use as needed. The end of the board should be treated with paint for additional protection during long-term storage. Sorry for Google Translate :))
@@SJC49 This is her business :) but I see that she wants to bring the boards into the lttle house, and for this she needs to saw them. To avoid sawing, they can be stored outside, and if the boards are fresh (without drying), they will become better, the moisture will leave. Sorry about Google translate.
I love that you multipurposed the entrance hall. Someone has already suggested hangers for air drying, and I concur. Your vlogs are getting better and better. I enjoy seeing the world from your perspective. Congrats on the 100K subscribers!!!
@wildrosie You can always use some simple, tasteful stencils if you feel the room needs a little more character. Easy to paint over if they are not your cup of tea. I really like that little space.😊 I am so happy for you reaching 100,000 subscribers! I can't stop smiling, and my face is starting to ache! Merry Christmas to you and blessings without number on your homestead!❄️☃️🖖🐈⬛📚🫖🕊🎄🕯Love your candles!
@@wildrosieI thought that after you applied the first layer of white paint you’d switch to a warmer colour. Thing is I trust your artistic/interior design sensibilities 100%. There are few things that warm my heart more than a Rosie smile. 😊 Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers!
You can dry your clothes outdoors even in winter! The only thing that is required for the clothes to dry properly is that it is cold weather with at least 5 degrees below zero outside, if it is colder it goes faster. Do this: Wash the clothes as usual. Hang the clothes on a clothesline or clothes rack outside in the garden/on the balcony for 12 hours. Bring in and let the clothes thaw! Freeze-dry the clothes overnight Feel free to leave the clothes hanging overnight and bring them in when the clothes have hardened. Then you let the clothes thaw inside - the result will be completely dry clothes!
I love the style of the drying rack! it fits the shaker style. And I quite like the way the colours are somewhat inverted from the other rooms ( same colours, but now the wood is an accent). And the fact that it is quite high is a bonus, now you can build yourself a nice little stool to step on, and paint it a nice colour ;)
As someone that lived for 32 yrs in the tropics that showers twice sometimes thrice a day, when i finally got to experience winter, it felt like my day had not started if i didn't shower first thing in the morning. its such an odd feeling moving about the day when i know i hadn't/didn't shower. it felt almost like a guilt. its the small things that I never even thought about that makes travelling to a new place more fun. its really funny, almost shocking seeing someone shower in dead snow even though i know the water is heated. I can't really imagine the coldness.
I also used to feel really 'off' if I wasn't able to shower for a day. I was a bit freaked out about it before I started hiking and realised I wouldn't be able to shower for days on end but I'd be getting really dirty regardless... but then at one point something switches, and it's like, you almost can't imagine what the big deal was!
@@wildrosieI love this! ".... it's as if you realize what the big deal was"! Wouldn't it be great if we came to that revelation about quite a number of things in our lives that bind us up inside like a smothering cocoon!
it must have been an angel who brought you to Sweden. You spread so much joy with this RU-vid channel. It's so amazing to see you plan, design, and build with everything. If I were to build a garden cottage, I would want it to be Rosie-designed. hope the villa factories start making houses in Rosie-design. It would be a success, I promise.
Looks so clean and nice. You will be able to add lots of other storage/drying options. Something on the ceiling that pulls down to add the clothes and goes back up would be nice. Congrats on 100K!! Or rather 139K. You are my favorite RU-vidr. Lots of them post on Sunday but yours is the first I watch.
You should think about constructing a wood fired sauna, they have been used as winter bath houses for centuries in sweden! Maybe you could convert your little guesthouse?
Oh Rosie. What a wonderful project/idea. And a gifted worker you are, to bike to town in the snow is soooo admirable and valiant of you. Keep on posting I love your videos.
If you happen to get hold of IKEA bags or other thick sturdy shopping bags, hold on to them. You can carry wood in them and they are easily stackable. That way you can keep a stack close to home that doesn't get wet if it's bad weather. Just adjust the weight so that you can carry or drag them. I loaded my first ones too heavy and almost had a heart attack.
YES … hello Good morning… I have been enjoying you from your beginnings in Sweden 🇸🇪 I live in FLORIDA 🌴🏡 & want send you Christmas Greetings & wish you HEALTH& Happiness in 2023-24
It is wonderful to watch you unwrap your YT award and the smile on your face as you thank all for subscribing. I have watched along with interest and dismay and awe and delight for several years. Your small spaces have grown so beautifully, along with your skills and confidence. Well done, Rosie. btw: I would utilise the space and hanging rods using some nice, inexpensive hangers. Wet clothes dry better that way, I have found from 3 years of living in a caravan. love alwaz mike
Congratulations on your subscriber count milestone! Each video is a work of art. I know you said you put in a lot of time editing. It is not wasted, and I even enjoy rewatching episodes. Always a treat when a new one appears!
Rosie! Congratulations!!!! A well-deserved plaque. I look forward to each and every video you make. You are so creative and artistically talented. Please continue sharing your progress. I am home bound at 61 years and live vicariously through your videos. They warm my heart and capture my interests. I'm always left wanting more. Congratulations again, and I can't wait to see your next video. Much love and appreciation from San Diego California ❤️.
Love ❤ your videos. While I don't live in a cabin amidst a forest, I do live alone. There's just so much peace living alone and doing things you love for yourself. Kudos to you!
Hi Rosie. I love the fact that you used to do your own soap. Please don't give up on that. Right now, you are busy fixing your home, which is #1 priority. As soon as you feel comfortable putting home improvements as a second or third priority, you can resume the soap making. I can't wait for what you will come up with. The sky is the limit since you can grow all the vegetation ingredients right there in your backyard, sort of speak. Little by little, you let us know all your hidden talents you can put to use to make a living out of.
Shoe rack to the side of the door. You could even use dowels to match the dry rack. Two dowels per “shelf” the shoes can sit on. One lower than the other so the shoes angle up and don’t stick out as far. Maybe pegs for gloves too. Congratulations on your RU-vid milestone. A side thought for sellable crafts, how about twigs woven with twine to make little bird houses. You could weave in leaves, grass and moss. It is a project I have been planning for myself, not for sale just for fun. But except the twine you have everything you need, unlike soap.
Congratulations! I just love watching you tackle your projects with such enthusiasm and skill! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🙂. Also, maybe snowshoes would help.😉
Merry Christmas! What a beautiful post! I love the candles in your wonderful bedroom/library. Congratulations upon reaching 100,000 viewers, Rosie! You are an inspiration to me to go beyond my limits, and to be productive. 🎄🎄🎄
Have you watched 'Escape to Rural France'? Dan the Chateau man has the same, drive, determination and vision that you show. You both share the same quiet heroism and vision. It's only a matter of scale.
Hi Rosie! I am a Swedish guy who is fascinated by your creative abilities. I have seen all your projects and I am impressed! I have started a number of companies, including consulting in production technology and carried out some internal training in large-scale industry. So in my spare time I rebuilt/renovated the houses I lived in and built patios and large guest cabins. It has been my spare time hobby.
What a wonderful episode. I loved seeing all that snow, especially as it is 41 degrees Celsius outside. Watching you carry that chair looked like you were carrying a small polar bear! Thank you g For sharing all that you do and also your thinking and planning. You are such an inspiration.
Hi from the UK Rosie, I have limited space and I use coat hangers, for clothing, bedding can also be use with the gripper hangers you use for skirts or trousers. then you won't need to stretch so much. The hight is ideal for this way of drying. Lovely place you have created, Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming year.
I got a carpenter to put a wooden pole up for me in my bathroom with wooden supports and painted it the same colour as the walls and it is 4ft long and invaluable as a drying area - wouldn't be without it. Perfect and I use big black plastic pegs to dry some things outside on good days and have a plastic rack which hooks behind the door with ordinary pegs that I use for pillowcases. When the door is open to the bathroom this rack is suspended over the radiator. The robe and towel rack behind the door is perfect for drying.
Congratulations Rosie on your so well earned acknowledgement from You Tube! I've watched you from the beginning and have nothing but admiration for you! You are a special, one of a kind woman! A fellow redhead following from Oregon USA ❤
Well done! Suggestion: When drilling a hole with a spade bit or hole saw, and you are able to get to both sides of the wood, you can minimize the rough break-out on the other side by not drilling all the way through. Go through far enough for the tip of the spade bit, or guide drill of the hole saw, to break through the far side. Then finish the hole from the other side.
You continue to inspire me to be creative and think outside the box and just go for it 😊 I love how peaceful your content is. So much of what we are exposed to today is fast paced and instant gratification and it’s overwhelming. Your approach feels almost meditative and I really appreciate it. Congratulations on passing 100k !! A drying room will be so useful and convenient. As someone who also lives in a cold and wet climate, I’m befuddled why such a space isn’t the norm for every home build. You’ve given me some ideas for how I might solve this issue in my own home. ❤
oh Rosie you are so charming when you tell me about making soap. You're a nice person, so it's so interesting to interlude about everything you do, even skin care. Looking forward to seeing how soap is made sometime in the next story.
How brave you are Rosie to take your shower outside in winter in Sweden! I'm speechless! I love your healthy way of living and taking care. I wish you a merry xmas in your lovely fairy tale cottage
Incredible as always, Cabin is looking beautiful, And so are you, Your channel and stories have become a firm favorite for me, Calm and inspiring, You look so chuffed with your RU-vid award, brought a tear to my eye, Take care flower x
