WEIRD but genius THINGS IN FINNISH HOMES
#finnishhomes #homesinfinland #apartmenttour - Krátké a kreslené filmy
What feature STOOD OUT to you the MOST!?!
The drying rack! My goodness. I cannot stand seeing wet dishes on the kitchen bench! Dishwasher is life but not everything fits 🤦♀️
Steph Davis Should we export the drying rack to North America?
The small footprint of the house and the layout of the rooms
Wow, I love that drying cabinet, never seen that before!
@@AndrikLangfield Ah really? Its great!
Anyone else hear him say “Boss’s wife” and not “Boss Wife” then start the next sentence with “Babe”? It took me a second. At first I was like “this guy has some balls.” 😂🤣 1:16
😂😂😂
Same
I thought he was calling his boss's wife babe? Lol
Same!! I was like huh?
Heard that!
- The house looks new.
- Yeah, it was just ... finnished.
Hahahhaha dad jokes for the win!
Blorfnik 🤣
😂😂
They must of been Russian to Finnish
He's here all night, folks! 😂
I'm amazed that the clothes horse was such a novelty. They're commonplace probably in every other country. But we Irish people prefer to use an outdoor clothesline when the weather is dry, and the clothes horse when it's not.
I used a clothesline, growing up. We couldn't afford an electric dryer. Now I have a room dedicated to cleaning clothes...lol
In Argentina we do exactly the same. If weather is fine, then a clothline outdoors, and a clothe horse otherwise!
I had to google what a " clothehorse" is. Funny name.
Here in Germany we still have the "Wäschespinne"(rotary clothes dryer).
@jagfruit 1 Why is convenience a bad thing? How about you get rid of the washing machine and get a tub and a wash board. Sounds like you dislike convenience.
In Australia most of us who live in houses still have hills hoist style clothes lines and units and modern homes have the ones that attach to a wall or fence and fold down flat against that surface. We still have the fold up indoor lines like he has for rainy days and good old rope strung up between the verandah posts.
guy shows drying rack in the kitchen and in the bathroom
Europeans: yeah, that's... like... how a house works...
Americans: woaaaaahhhh geniuuuss
So true. I can't believe people were surprised by this.
I have a drying rack and a dryer. I only use the drying rack in summer when I can open my patio door so it dries quicker. But the electricity is so cheap where I live in Canada, most people use their dryer.
We dont have drying racks in the kitchen lol middle European here
I was pretty amazed 🙈
@@daemmerung19 also middle European here. We do have them where I live.
I don’t understand why you don’t just dry your dishes and put them away immediately? Why do you leave them sit out?
My favorite? The communal tools! It’s so wasteful for everyone to own EVERYTHING individually.
Definitelty!
I'm not sure that it would work in the US because many people don't take proper care of tools. Maybe people there have greater respect for property.
My daughter and son-in-law live in Seattle. They have the FREE tool library where you can check out all sorts of tools - both construction and household. For example, my SIL wanted to power wash their home and he was able to borrow the tool; my daughter wanted to can some fruit and she borrowed all the canning equipment she needed. The library gets donations and they then run all of the tools and equipment through rigorous testing to make sure they work as they are supposed to. They print out manuals as well. It is a great idea!
@@tastx3142 this is just pure paranoia. Loads of places have libraries of things and it works out just fine.
Leanne L Seattle is a progressive city with many, many problems. It used to be beautiful. Sad what’s happened to it.
I love the minimalism, energy efficiency, and practicality of Finnish homes/communities! The community storage space really stood out to me!
Yeah its really interesting, the houses are quite compact usually but well designed.
Unfortunately Finland is one of Europeans country with the highest consumption of energy.
@@ladybird5053 No way around it in cold climate and with heavy industry. But the consumption of energy doesn't matter, rather how it's produced.
Well I live in Canada and I was taught as a child to remove my shoes when entering the house, no matter whose house it is. I don't like carpet myself, and the upkeep is expensive. Landfills are full of carpets. The best thing is that you share tools and such. Very cool.
annabodhi38 we also never wear shoes inside any homes in Canada. People also have hardwood floors.
The shoe removal custom I think is common amoung northern countries (though, I know it is also a custom in many Asian countries, too). But in Italy for instance, guests never remove shoes when visiting someone’s home. I cannot understand it at all. At my mother-in-law’s place in Italy, my husband will walk right into her living room, stepping on her beautiful carpets with his dirty shoes, and sit on the couch to remove them. And his mother thinks it’s strange that I stand by the door to remove my shoes so that I don’t track in dirt and dust from outside all throughout her house. And if we are only popping in for a few minutes, my husband won’t even bother removing them and will walk EVERYWHERE with his shoes😭. I don’t even have to clean that home but it still drives me nuts! Thankfully he has lived in both Canada and Germany for some years, so knows to never do this outside of Italy.
Same here in Washingon (state), U.S... we take our shoes off at the door to prevent mud & gravel/little rocks, from tracking in.
I'm in Minnesota, and the majority of people here do not wear shoes indoors. I'm not sure I even know anyone who allows shoes to be worn in their home. It's just too dirty outside between the snow, mud and salt-chemical mix that is on every flat surface for 6 months of the year. Besides, the way that the salt-chemical mix eats the roads and concrete, I would hate to see what it did to the floors in a home!
Emma MacDonald we do take our shoes off in my house in Italy, many of my friends do the same in their homes... but you’re right, it’s not a widespread custom in Italy. That’s weird thinking that on average Italian houses are kept very very clean 🤷♀️
No shoes in the house, clothes drying racks, dish racks above the sink... Are similar to Asian households... Nice house.... Thanks for sharing..
Your welcome! And thanks.
Same as most houses I"ve seen in Canada. Maybe he's been away a while. Laminate flooring has been huge for 10-20 years.
I'm from the UK and we (my family and extended family), don't wear shoes in the house either. We have carpet throughout the house and tiles in the kitchen.
Dish rack was invented by a Finnish :)
Same here in the Netherlands. My mom would beat my ass if i wear shoes inside 😂
Sharing objects is something I’ve always thought was vital but nobody does that in North America, that I know of. Sharing the lawn mower, tools, even microscopes and so many other objects so that every single person doesn’t have to own it is an idea that I’ve finally seen done in real life, thanks to you. Thanks!
The drying cabinet in the kitchen 😱. Genius. Interesting house set up with the sharing your outdoor responsibilities. Beautiful home
So true!
Love the drying rack, am 100% getting one of those fitted when i own my own home!! 😍
Love the sauna!
I had one when I lived in Italy. Works great.
Drying rack above the sink, hidden in the cupboard or no - so usual in Europe... 😜
I wish I lived in a Japanese community in Finland with Latin friends.
Hahaha what a combo that would be!
Priti Singer so kind!
Does Japan have mild winters? If the winters are mild, I’d like to join.
And a black girlfriend for a dash of color. Finished
oh my goodness the aesthetic of that and the food would be amazing
American homes usually have a window over the kitchen sink! So a drying rack would be hard to mount and would get in the way when opening/ closing the window. But I agree; great idea!
metroteacher , Get rid of kitchen window over sink ... add good lighting and over sink drying rack!
Reseecupga No way! I’d rather have a view and a nice breeze while I do dishes! I dry my dishes in the dish washer, where they drain and I don’t have to watch them drying. Thanks for your interest.
Plus they also have racks that arch over the sink like a little bridge. No point in removing a whole ass window.
I'd so much prefer a window, so I have a nice view while doing the dishes :)
I've seen these in small American apartments where the kitchen is on an inside wall. Honestly if you have that little space that you can't have a dish rack (former tiny apartment dweller here) I'd like to introduce you to a dish towel. I'd much rather have the cabinet space.
Finland is the world's happiest country. I would love to live in Finland. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Your welcome!
Teppo Haapoja "you're"
Here in Finland we don‘t use dryers cause we love to save energy. *throwns on the giant sauna for two*
😂😂😂
priorities... Sauna is very ingrained in Scandinavian and other northern cultures (as are sweat lodges Inuit and First Nations in Canada). Sauna followed by cold shower is very good for the cardiovascular system and keeps your body's temperature regulation system in fighting trim.
The drying cabinet is genius! Love the layout of your home. Perfect size. Beautifully decorated and minimal. My style.
Drying rack invented by dude without a window over the sink.
Its a good idea though
I'd rather have the window. Thanks
In places that get super cold like this its very impractical to have any water plumbing in exterior walls because it makes it much more difficult to prevent the pipes from freezing. So its very common to have the kitchen sink on an interior wall like this, in which case a window isn't an option.
Or woman... But also, I'd be afraid of my window sill rotting
Beverly F That’s a good point. All of the plumbing in our large New England home is in the same interior wall - except for the kitchen sink, which is, in fact, under a window.
dear ikea, send everything.
HAHA!
E R 😁😁😁
Right now
@@duckbilledmonfrogga hahha
The absence of color would drive me mad--no relief indoors or out! But I do like the sharing shed and the drying shelves.
Agreed, it’s so... cold.
You can still design your own house 🤷♀️
Agree. I appreciate minimalism in all it's aspects but the lack of colour. Colors don't take up space
Lol, I misunderstood him calling his “boss wife” for saying his boss’s wife. Then I was like “you call your boss’s wife babe?!”
Yikes 😂😂😂
I love EVERYTHING about this !!! The actual spaces, the layout, the design, the clean lines, practicality, energy efficiency, use of space and my fave: the communal aspect of the location! It definitely fosters integration, community and a collective! We need more of this. 👍🏾
🙌🙌🙌
i live in Florida...it's like living in a sauna from May until November....
😂😂😂😂
I know! I hate saunas because they remind me of a Florida summer.
Same problem here in Australia. 5am summer wakeup in a pool of sweat with the sun beating u with its bright light and heat. Too bad if u like a sleep in. Or a cool environment.
I can't believe I still live here..Summers are a living hell and " winters" bring very brief sporadic relief. Every yr gets worse
@@vaderladyl You can't really appreciate a sauna unless you live in an Arctic climate.
That drying rack is GENIUS!!
Sure is Amy!
I love the drying rack for the dishes. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful
No problem Anita! You got the same name as my mom!
The shared tool shed: now THAT is a great feature, well done Finland!
Ammonia melts ice instantly. Always have a spray bottle filled with ammonia or Windex. Turns ice on windshields into slush. You can also de-ice locks.
Sorry to be a Debbie downer but I hate the thought of these chemicals ending up on the ground then going into the garden on my plants and wildlife or into drains into the sea.
I use warm water - no harm done that way and windows are perfectly defrosted.
Nicola Nicola Rubbing alcohol will do the same thing and evaporates before hitting the ground.
Loved the drying rack over the kitchen sink. Genius! And sharing the tools.
🙌🙌🙌
Who else lives in a tropical climate where literally none of these things would work? Mold is real y'all.
😂😂😂 where you from?
I live in VA and in the spring and summer....yikes!
Me! I live in Puerto Rico!
Humidity is the price to pay for our year long beach weather in the Caribbean
Guam. $1k Outdoor rust resistant patio furniture rusted so bad in just a year. 4 typhoons in 6 months
Im American and most folks i know that lives in apartments use drying racks for their their clothes and home owners have clothes lines in their backyards. No one wants to run a clothes dryer in the summer
Yeah, he has got some weird ideas about North America. I am in Canada and most homes have either laminate or hardwood flooring.
Angela Clark I’ve only ever lived in US and yes I do run my dryer every day. The clothes turn out softer, esp towels, the ironing is less. It’s faster and nit in the way like a rack. And with six kids I would
Have racks everywhere. That would be a pain in the butt.
I think it depends on the climate. Where I’m at stuff would get moldy before they would dry. It’s too humid (but not necessarily hot) in certain parts of the US.
How do you dry clothes when there’s daily thunderstorms and 90% humidity? Oh because America is huge and Florida isn’t the same as Arizona.
I think that really varies by location and income. I lived in a very middle class suburban neighborhood on the East coast, and nobody had a clothesline. But if you drove out to the country and looked behind the farm houses you'd often see them
Sharing tools etc is a great way in interact with neighbors and to establish a sense of community. Great idea.
☘️🌝🌲
Sharing with your neighbors is by far the best feature and it shows why you guys are so ahead of the rest of the world. Amazing!!!
I lived in Ireland for 8 years and some of those were the same. The drying rack was more like a shelf and was open, but we had a dryer. Where we live now has a dryer too and not even allowed to hang clothes outside. Problem we had is clothes smell like mould when we air dry them inside .... both places we lived. Still, love all of it. I preferred clothing that was dried outside ... smells so much better.
Interesting to hear!
On another video the person drying their clothes indoors also used a dehumidifier. Just a idea.
Gotta say man, I'm jealous of all the snow you have there! Wait 'till you get to Helsinki. NADA!
Hahaha in some ways Im dreading it!
Yea Helsinki has had nothing this year and Tampere has been hit and miss. Heard last years was beautiful.
I LOVE snow, from the crisp scent in the air before it falls to the beauty of watching it and hearing the whisper of it falling to the way it looks right after it falls.
I love that your residence shares tools!! There is really no need to own so many things that you probably use once a year, so why not share with your neighbours? Lovely.
Love the kitchen drying rack idea! I may try that in my next kitchen re-do. The clothes drying rack...not so much. LOL. Yes, to the sauna!! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
Sauna is the must also when it is very hot and sweaty day. Just sit in a hotter sauna for a while, take a nice shower and you feel cooler at once. Sound weird but it works like a charm. Earlier we had a drying machine in our laundry room but once I read how much it uses electricity I sold it away and my husband installed drying lines in our laundry room above doors so we dont need a rack for clothes. In the summertime I dry clothes outside.
I was waiting for you to show the toilet shower... now that’s genius!
Every time I travel to Finland, I find it everywhere; hotels, school restrooms, apartments...
Fins have the cleanest bums in Europe 👍🏼
LOVE the hidden above-the-sink drying rack!
This is really cool, especially the dish dryer, thank you so much for sharing!
Your welcome!
Thank you for sharing! I really like these!
Your welcome!!!
I've always used clothes drying racks or clothes line in my U.S. homes all my life, along with a dryer. We dry most of our clothes on racks, but use the dryer for underwear, towels & bedding.
Yeah thats what Id do as well in Canada!
Love this! I went to Finland back in '09 and we stayed with different people in their homes and I remember some of the things when you showed them. Brought back good memories. So, thank you! I so want to go back! Probably when this pandemic is over.
🙌🙌🙌
omg the drying cupboard is genius
🙌🙌🙌
Love the dish drying rack smart idea, as well as sharing tools.
I love the kitchen drying rack! I’m going to make one
Brilliant!
I love the shared garden equipment. That is such a good idea
Sounds great to share but for most its just not practical. Dont have the communal living in the 1st place. The only thing that was shared is my mom shooting the cridders out of the neighbors garden. Shed come over furious that her veggies were eaten down below the dirt!!!🤢 thanks for sharing, great ideas..
What a lovely home! The sharing shed and the over the sink drying rack are amazing ideas. Also the sauna!!!
Thanks Laura!
Loved the drying rack for dishes in Finland. Lived there years ago and always loved it!
🙌🙌🙌
I love this so much. The over the sink drying rack is a very old custom. They can even be decorative and also be where you store your everyday dishes and glassware. I’ve been looking for one for years. They do sell them in the UK but not in the US. I love having a clothes dryer. In the winter, it is such a joy to put on clothes fresh out of the dryer - but I would gladly trade a clothes dryer for a sauna 😂.
Interesting Beth!
Maybe set the clothes rack up in the sauna? Dry your clothes while you bake yourself!
@@oldarpanet, saunas tend to get quite humid. Depends on the type of the sauna, but still. And clothes dry well enough on the rack just in a regular room or outside. I think I wouldn't like a dryer, because I like when my clothes last for years and I don't need to constantly buy loads of new ones. :)
I really love the sharing concept.
Its great eh!?
Thanks for showing us your beautiful home. The sauna inside is my favorite thing.
Your welcome! Saunas my fav as well
The drying rack is BRILLIANT!!! I’m commenting at the same time I’m watching, I love it that much!
Hahah thats awesome!
I’m Western Australian, I’ve never even seen snow.
Crazy! Never in your life?
Teppo Haapoja never and I’m 46 years old. It doesn’t snow in Western Australia, it’s too hot!
I was born in New Caledonia. I was nine years old before I first saw hoarfrost and snow in France.
I remember my father scraping built-up ice out of the freezer, putting it into a pile and telling me & my brother that snow was like that. Close but no cigar.
Nice video! Most modern homes in states have hardwood floors too. Love the drying dish rack in cupboard and sauna. But give me my clothes dryer!!
Love it! Dry rack gorgeous. Love the basic colours.
nicholas pinfold Thanks bro!
Wow! Just came across your channel. A couple of features stood out, a sauna in the house! And the community sharing tools, etc - awesome idea!
Thanks Carol!
I'm a Canadian who recently found out that the family lineage on my mother's side comes from Finland - it took a long time to figure out because my mom had passed away when I was really young so I couldn't ask her, and her maiden name is super ultra rare. I'm totally with you on no shoes in the house and I'm really loving the above sink drying rack. I'd love to visit Finland but it probably won't happen in this lifetime.
Wild! Welcome to the Finnish club.
What a great drying rack! Never seen anything like that before
Ha really? I always assume its normal
Haha I mean the drying rack for dishes not clothing. Although both are smart designs
and I never want to see one again! Give me my dryer or give me death! Some famous guy said that once I think.
You can buy laundry racks everywhere they sell housewares in Italy as well, they are inexpensive, everybody has them, electricity is so expensive over there that it makes sense to have them and often more than one
They come in a variety of sizes and features, when you buy kitchen cabinets the basic rack comes standard but you can customize the rack to fit your needs. Another feature of European kitchens is invisible built in refrigerators.
Love love LOVE the drying cabinet.
Brilliant. The "farmhouse" look is similar but not a cabinet. Brilliant
Thanks Matty!
I absolutely love the drying rack !
I live 1.2km away from your house 😅
HA no way!? are you kidding me?
DJFITME I just sent you a DM on instagram! We should connect.
The Sauna - love it! As well as the communal shed!
Saunas are great for sure!
Your channel is soooo cool! So genuine. Keep it up!
Thanks Paolo! Appreciate having you apart of this community.
@@TeppoHaapoja greetings from Costa Rica ! 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Thanks for showing us your home and community...great features.
When we lived in South Florida, we bought a house from a Finnish elderly couple back in 1995. Apparently he was the architect and included some of these features: parquet floors, outdoor line for clothes hanging, & sauna. I would have ADORED the drying rack in the kitchen. We hang most clothes indoors for durability, but we did put in a dryer in the garage. Imagine trying to hang dry all the little people’s socks & underwear, towels, linens, AND have a full time job?
While the sauna idea is a great one, the concept doesn’t work in S.FL, just walk outside on any given day, I promise the heat and humidity IS quite the sauna. I removed the heat element and benches, it become the most enviable pantry as it was right by my kitchen.
But I will say that the house was a two bedroom, they were both master beds, they each had their own bath, and their own separate entrances with two separate parking for each. We eventually added square footage to our home for our growing family, but I will say that every single person who walked into our home, loved it; design, layout, features, and space ... we do miss it. Some other family is now enjoying our Finnish little find. 🤩
Wow so interesting! Alot of Finns moved to Florida for sure.
Ok, I'm already impressed with the drying rack!
🙌🙌🙌
So far I love the idea of the drying rack, we always have dishes on the counter and I hate it.
You should build it :)
I dry my dishes with rags and put it away.
OMG the dishes drying racks! Awesome idea!
Thanks for sharing. Some really good ideas. Now I have added Finland to my travels
Nice!!!
Awesome house! I'm a fellow Canadian and I don't know anyone here who keeps their shoes on inside. (And who would do that in winter?) lol
Hah i guess its more the fellow americans?
I am Canadian too, and everyone takes their shoes off.
well, i think that's logical, in my apartment i have slippers different sizes, for everyone who comes in, can wear it.
Came here to say the same. I live in Quebec and winter or summer no one wears shoes inside. Not even visitors. A lot of tiles, laminate and especially hardwood floor.
I think it’s a west coast thing because as an Albertan it was unheard of/rude to leave shoes on. My SO is from the lower mainland BC (we live here now), and so many ppl here leave their shoes on, and it rains a lot here! It’s gross and dirty, imo.
I think this guy either had a pampered life growing up or was not observant on home living until he moved to Finland. Well, he knows now.
Rich Vanatte i have to agree. The drying rack in the kitchen and shared tools is one thing but the rest is probably used in half the cities all over the world. Gotta wonder where hes been locked up lol
Love the kitchen drying rack and home sauna!!
🙌🙌🙌
I am loving your new channel. You are killing the game!
Thanks mate!
NIce vid - although every country Ive been to - in southern and northern hemisphere have clothes drying racks - but drying rack in the kitchen was super cool.
Nice Lisa! Glad you liked the video.
Very clean, monochromatic, orderly, nice. Canadians take off their shoes when they enter a home too. I thought most people did. Nothing makes me cringe more than seeing people wearing shoes while lying on their bed or on their couch.
LOVE the dish rack in the cupboard above the sink!! Definately going to use that idea!! Going to luve somewhere humid... so maybe a door with ventilation... going to make it work!!!
Its definitely useful!
Outstanding presentation! Beautiful home and accoutrements. Very nice!
Thanks Kirk!
So the energy saved from not having a dryer is used in the Sauna? The drying cabinet is a great idea.
Yasmin Naik kind of: many people put the clothes in the sauna on the rack to dry using the afterheat so it’s a way of both getting the Sauna and your clothes dry ;)
I can't bare the heat. I hate saunas lol
@@annarehbinder7540 - Awesome!!
@@jeanlafrance8746 I'm with you. I hate the heat, but add humidity to the mix and I feel like I'm suffocating. I'll take a hot shower or tub soak, followed by the warmth of the wood stove any day. It WOULD make a great dryer (without the steam), tho! 😉
@Lola Montez I cannot imagine drying my towels and my comforter on a rack in the winter or on rainy days, It takes FOREVER!
I've never seen a draining cupboard! Such a good idea
🙌🙌🙌
What a fun tour of your home! I’m a realtor and have never seen a sauna in a home! But then I live in the southern part of the US and it’s HOT here most of the year! I love the drying rack above the sink, very good idea. Not sure I would be willing to give up my dryer though! I also like the shared responsibility of yard work. I guess as long as everyone does their share of the work.
Love that drying cupboard for the dishes.
What I love about finland is the "jokamiehen oikeus". I cant imagine how claustrophobic it is to live in a place which dont have that.
Also good roads.
Rope Setä Agreed!
YEA!!! I love that jokeaminute thing my self.
It means “everyman’s rights” and by law people are allowed to walk in the countryside anywhere, even if it is owned by someone else. You are allowed to pick berries and mushrooms and enjoy nature, but it is bad manners to exercise these rights close to someone’s home. You can even camp on someone else’s property.
@@kemhelenius7074
Provided you are responsible and respectful and don't take all the fruit and don't leave the property in shambles.
Antonina MacNeish and ask permission to build a campfire.
Hi from Missouri: I've had a lot of drying racks in my time. Put a fan blowing on the rack and the clothes will dry a lot faster. I live in an apartment. I love to have a carport like that, I hate clearing the snow from my car and it gets so hot in the summer the steering wheel will burn your hands after sitting in the sun. However, I like the fact that the apartment complex takes care of the mowing and clearing the snow from the sidewalk. I'm a senior citizen, I don't want to do lawn maintenance. The name of your complex sounds like a native North American word. I've never used a sauna, but, the idea of sitting in a hot closet doesn't appeal to me.
Interesting tips!
I really liked the fold up drying rack for dishes and for clothes. I have one for clothes but it is wood.
I love the way they use the cupboard dish rack over the sink. Cool.
🙌🙌🙌
We have solid wood floors in all the rooms downstairs in our home in the UK too but upstairs we have carpets in the bedrooms - my wife love the drying rack so I feel a kitchen make over coming on now she has seen this plus we are having a garden room built so if my wife wants the drying rack I am going to ask for the sauna 😀
Nice Hieth!
@@TeppoHaapoja Yeah thanks for teasing my wife with the drying rack idea I now need to find a kitchen supplier that makes them in the UK ? Take care cheers H
UK homes a tiny by with - but large by height - that's a challenge
@@martynas.6649 Usually yes but it depends on your layout we have also knocked down all the walls and have an open plan home with a large extension downstairs :)
What lovely apartments, ooh loved the Sauna, drying rack (brill!) as my kitchen always looks a mess with pots drying and of course just everything. I could definitely live here and not UK :( Thank you so much. Julie
Good idea sharing the yard work items
You have a serene and comfortable home. I've never had a sauna and I'd love to try it. I like the way you share tools.
He's got his priorities straight -- very high quality espresso machine!!!
Hahahaha its my wifes ;) i dont enjoy coffee
Kahvi!!!
Nordic design all the way! Love the sauna!
I agree! And yess to saunas!!!
Loved the tool sharing thing! Your communities are strong :)
Sure are!
I love that neighbors share tools. That is so good for the earth, and your camaraderie!
Definitely!
First time viewer to your channel. I'm an aspiring interior designer and I loved the elements you highlighted. I'm hoping to incorporate the drying closet in my new kitchen now!
Thanks Shilo! And welcome.
You give me hope! I’m just really spinning up my CZcams channel so seeing your start to where you are now is awesome. Oh and also I may be building a drying rack above my sink now Bc we’re stuck indoors 😂
Awesome! Congrats on starting.
I love the shared tools, it's a nice idea for little neighbourhoods!
In Italy we have the drying racks for clothes and the kitchen ones in every home, I thought that they were used everywhere, they're so useful to save space!
You are a very upbeat and authentic guy and I really enjoyed learning about the Finnish home! Thanks!
Thanks Susan!
That community lawn mower/tools thing is great.
Thanks for sharing.
Yeah its definitely awesome, no point in 8 families buying all their own lawn mower or garden tools.
I'd like it better if they cut my grass too!
Now if my neighbors would mow my lawn, they could use my riding lawn mower...that goes for all the garden tools, pressure washer,,the whole shebang..hell, I'll even throw in worm castings for their gardens....the only thing I am physically capable of taking care of now....
"Finnish people are very energy saving"... 20 seconds later. "Every home, every apartment has a sauna" 🤦♂️
😂😂😂
Being a Canadian with a Swedish hereditary, I would love to have a sauna. I was born & grew up in Thunder Bay, Canada, which was said to have the largest community of Finlanders outside of Finland! I know many homes that have one in the basement, and a person can warm up without cranking up the heat in the whole house. Then you can get into bed & be warm for the rest of the night. Of course, when I was younger, I did the sauna to snow thing too. I worked in a seniors nursing home with many Finnish residents. They didn't think a person was really clean without a sauna/steambath, and the Finnish community installed 2 of them in the nursing home.
That's exactly what I thought when watching the video 🤦♂️ 🙂
Sauna doesn't count. Sauna is sacred.

Great video! It's very interesting to see other cultures and how they adapt to their environment. I live in NYC + many apts are tiny with no counter space in kitchen. I absolutely love the dish drying rack in the cabinet over the sink. Genius! And can't lie wouldn't mind having a sauna in my apt as well 🥰 I also love Scandinavian design aesthetic, so clean, modern, uncluttered. Thank you for sharing!
Different cultures are definitely interesting!
I am impressed with how people share tools. I imagine they probably help each other out with projects and fixing things. Nice people
Definitely!
