this is my comfort channel
Mine too.
Me three😂
Mine also!
I basically live for new Rosie video day. But it has to be the right setting, so I save it to watch while I eat dinner or drink my morning coffee. These videos have come to symbolize safety and comfort, needs met. So ridiculous, but it's the small pleasures in life that get me through.
Me too.
Your design of the angled shelves around the window is genius. I usually dislike cupboards close to windows. They steal light and make you feel like being in a bunker with super thick walls. Your design makes the window seem much wider and hides the thickness of the cupboards. Impressed.
Here is an example of why reading comments is good because I would have said this very one. The angling is so clever (and CUTE 🥰).
Rosie has captured a building feature of the old, thick-walled stone buildings that shaped the surrounds of their windows like this, and it's brillliant.
I'm in complete agreement and anxious to see the design below the window. I have a small room and plan to do the same (love the angle approach around windows!) but deciding if below the window should be small drawers or open shelves.
You stole my comment 😊 I couldn't agree more, such a smart way to cover a wall with a window entirely in cupboards without making the room darker, the window seem boxed in, the room seem alot smaller. This acutally helps the light bounce out into the room and the window looks much bigger! Love the linnen samples too. Very fitting in a house of this era and perfect match to the all natural wood vibe. Soft furnishings make a huge difference to interior schemes. I'm sure this is going to look beautiful!
April weather... we're still having it. Today is grim!
Cracking job Rosie! ❤
If you ever wonder … you have no idea how much your videos transmit peace. I can’t believe I can enjoy watching you nailing or sanding but I do. Thanks for your effort.❤❤
Me too my hubby thinks I am bonkers!!😂😂 But I just love her flow and energy and craft is all the things I love. ❤
❤
Watching you build this wardrobe made me realize how much progress you made since your first started on your kitchen. I'm so glad you are sharing this journey with us :)
Absolutely love those corner cabinets around the window!
I agree.. I was going to say the same. I like how much she has learned and passed on to us.
I would leave the corner ones without doors though. Just a personal preference.
@@jeridodge9576yes had the same though!
I find it admirable that you moved to Sweden without a car. great respect
I am envious of the empty roads. Just bought an ebike but it’s too busy to go along the roads and few bike paths. There is one bike trail.
Honestly Rosie, you are so clever with your designs. The window area is such a gorgeous feature now.
But I am afraid I am not minimalist enough. I would not put doors on the shelves at the window.
If we had the Internet back in the 70's....I would have taken this journey your on, myself, somewhere. Love what you're doing.
Same here but now i'm to old to buy some old place and fix it...when I got 60 I felt that time has gone and new projects was not interesting now. Time is tight when you get older.
@@KenthGustafsson300
That's not true...if you are able to, do it!! 😊
No! I'm in my 70's and just bought an old house to remodel. Am having the time of my life. Don't have to go to work everyday, so have that much more time to remodel.
Yep. Renovated a house in my late 60s, I'm 70 this year and moving to Italy. You're never too old!!
I agree, I’m 70 and am so inspired after watching these videos. Of course I need to recognise my limitations and work with them instead of working against them. In a couple of days I have my house open for sale. I have painted it inside and out and worked on it to get it to be the best price I can get and then purchase another house and start again.
It's always so funny to me when you disappear into that tiny shack and pull out ANOTHER massive piece of wood. I know you bought a lot, but each time it feels like a magic trick. The little Side-Cabin Of Endless Wood.
Sounds like Harry Potter 😊
I was really hoping you wouldn't put doors on those corner window shelves. They are so pretty and would look even prettier with a couple plants and whatever you choose to put there. You do such good work. The clothes are perfect too, I love the fabric you picked for the overalls ❤
agreed!!
ooh yes! :)
The clothes are so Rosie!
"It's 18 degrees in here, its really hot"... spoken like a true viking🤣
That’s funny because I hesitated whether she said 18 or 80. I’m Grom Perth Western Australia so spoken from a real sandgroper
@@supasal9321I have relatives in Perth and I’m from Sweden. I’m so in awe that they can stand the heat in Perth. 40 C no thanks!
hahaha exactly!
I’m in UK and completely agree with her.
You are the Bob Ross of building and creating. We just watch while you work and talk to us softly. We love you.
As someone who played classical music for about 20 years, I really enjoy the music that you use on your videos. The classical pieces that you use sound fresh and certainly not overused, like using something like Vivaldi's Seasons.
Vivaldi's 4 Seasons is a favorite of mine. I'm still, also, playing my 50+ year old??, original vinyl LP, Keith Jarret's Kohln Concert! 👍😎🇨🇦🎶💙
@Lupupu - I completely agree!!!
I agree in general, i play Cello, but this time the pieces are too dramatical and sad for me.
@@marianfrances4959 I also like Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, all though lately I've been listening to Max Richer's version Reimagining Vivaldi more than the original Vivaldi.
I agree! The piece with the gorgeous cello part around minute 23 is so beautiful.
Rosie, the only thing I do not like about your videos is that they end. Love your content so much and as always in awe of all you do. You're an inspiration.
I get unreasonably sad 🙁
I love seeing women take control of their own lives... Thanks Rosie for reminding us we need to take action...the inspiration will follow
I really appreciate that you turn down the volume of your power tools in your editing so they're not screaming louder than the overall video volume. I like the sound of tools but not at high volume. Thanks for doing that :-)
Love what you're building, should look terrific when it's done. Nice fabric choices too. Very cute ;-)
you might want to lower the volume on your computer.....just a suggestion :)
agreed, hate it when I'm immersed in a video like this, only to be jump-scared by a sudden scene change using power tools/hammering
I do like the way she does the blended transitions between scenes. So in one scene where she's hand sawing, and then as it moves into the next scene, you still hear the hand sawing as it fades into whatever she's doing next. To me, it's very sophisticated as far as techniques, but then I remember when 45 rpm records were a thing.
totally agree
I must say, I love so many CZcams creators across many different subjects. But YOU are in a special category. A gem I hold separate from all others.
Wow Rosie - flying a drone whilst cycling with the wobbly trailer. That was brave.
I think a drone can have an automatic tracking feature so it will simply follow your phone while maintaining a particular altitude.
I wondered if that was the case. Thanks for mentioning.
She made a video explaining how she uses the drone
How do you do that???
@elsoeth8776
most drones have features like "follow me", or "stay put", lol, something like that.
I really like the design for the wardrobe & window wall. Personally, I wouldn't put doors on the corner units flanking the window, I like the open shelves; good place to display favorite items, even a plant.
Fabric inserts for the closet doors, Good idea for air flow and will look nice!
Really nice (cute?!?!) video, Rosie. Lovely mix of topics - sewing, drone and nature, hand and power tools, process and I enjoy your choice of accompanying music and sound levels. And your lovely voice and self describing the thought/design/choice process as you show the work process and progress. Even the insert of your sponsor time was nicely done. I can only imagine the time that goes into the videos along with the travel, exercise and activities of daily living (even CZcamsrs need to do laundry - here it is just another layer of "process" that contributes to the whole). You are growing more and more adept as an artisan and as an artist. And, as a story teller and dream weaver... Thank you for doing such a lovely job taking us with you on your journey. Blessings!
I absolutely love the open shelves by the window! I know, the wood's a bit rough but it would be a shame to cover the shelves up with doors, they really frame and visually open up the space so beautifully :)
Great overalls, comfy and functional like they are meant to be and believe me much better than I could do.
Agreed! They are not too big. Dungarees/ overalls are meant to be loose and comfy.
So cute!
I know it is not your intention, but those corner shelves next to the window look so lovely exposed without the doors. Your framing has definitely enhanced the window. Looks great!
The angled shelves in the window are a great idea and personally I like them even better without doors. The open shelving adds depth and interest to the already beautiful window, my two cents!
Best wishes from the Armenian countryside where I'm also constantly renovating 😉
Congrats on all your hard work, renovations and innovations!
I love when she smiles at her own work.
I liked how this video would check in with you, then have the drone footage or your run, then go back to a project. It showed the smooth passage of time while showing your progress and what you were up to along the way.
I agree, it’s shows a healthy work life balance! I love seeing the build progress and her day to day living❤️
You should be very proud of yourself for what you have achieved, I think you are amazing.
If it’s not too late, you should look into a set of forstner bits. It will make all the hole plugging and hinge drilling much more pleasant.
Hi Rosie, might I suggest that getting a dressmakers form could be a real game changer for you when creating patterns. Buying one is expensive, but perhaps if you have friends or family visiting this summer they could help you make a home made 1( it really needs a second person). Thanks for the inspiring content, I think you have a great eye for detail and I enjoy watching you create 😊
Yes! Plus a dressmaker form is a cute decor item imo! There are numerous CZcams videos on how to diy them. Although, looking online for a cute second hand one is an option…or for getting inspiration. It does make sewing for oneself, especially when drafting patterns, so much easier.
I love the fact you wear socks in almost every frame regardless of what tool you're using lol. Also LOVE the overalls; can't wait to see what's next!
I’m definitely going through a lazy phase, so watching you being so continuously productive may plant a few seeds to get me the same way. You’re a good influence.
Hi Rosie! I thought the shelving around the window looked amazing without the doors added but I know you put a lot of thought into your designs and everything you’ve done so far has been beautiful!
Love the overalls Rosie, I think they look nicer than most I've seen. 👏🏆
Your doing an amazing job, it all looks lovely. Can I suggest you leave the doors off the shelves, as they make the window look closed in, without them the window looks beautiful and open. Great job on the overalls, really suit you and dont look too big.
The greatest thing I have learned from watching your videos, is how to trust the process. At first, it made my teeth itch a bit that the surrounding woodwork was going over the window trim and not around it, but about 3/4 way through, I begin to see your vision and it works perfectly. So, all that to say, thank you for being a great influence and inspiration for my life-you are so patient and talented! Everything you have done so far is just stunning and practical at the same time. You are courageous!
Your drone footage is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing all your adventures with us ❤
Yey, a Rosie video in the middle of the week. Happy time🎉🎉
Dear Rosie.
You can easily get rid of the wooblyness by moving the weight forward in the trailer as much as you can. Its like a meditation to watch your videos
Hugs from Gothenburg Sweden
The open triangular shelves could have been pretty cool as well
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You're amazing, Rosie! I very much envy your dress making skills and your woodworking skills.
How wonderful, a 2:30 am surprise treat for us night Owls.
12.30am for me, but perfect, I can watch in bed. 😊🤗
10:44 here in U.K. rn 😊❤
Your life is a life well spent. A far cry from Starbucks and the corporate ratrace world. You have understood the imortance of quality of life❤
The snowy drone footage is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for the inspiration you are to us all.
Your overalls turned out great! I’m loving the build. Such patience.
Laughed so hard on the " It was so sunny and warm and today it's snowing". In sweden we call it April weather, it's truly the most random and weirdest month of the year when it comes to the weather. Yesterday I walked in t-shirt and today I'm wearing a thick winter coat.
Wow, the angle of the side cabinets really brings your eyes to the window, and it appears much larger. Great design elements! The last fabric is beautiful, perfect for the cabinets.
man I feel so happy and emotional😭 seeing your house becoming a HOME your doing incredible work keep it up✨
I’m envious of your patience, Rosie. Your content and process is very satisfying to watch. If I were younger I’d consider doing what you’re doing but I’m now living vicariously through you! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. It brings much joy! 😊
I remember the first project being the toilet room..it never gets a mention now, but it was pretty cute..😊
Rosie, I LOVE watching your progress…I love the rhythm of your life and living…I love the precision you employ weather it’s sewing, building or loading your trailer with wood. 😊 You and this guy I follow in the Italian Alps (from the Netherlands)are crafting amazing lives and dwellings… its the best content! Thanks again!
Rosie you are such a breath of fresh air. I love your channel. Your window is absolutely gorgeous and yes it does make the area bigger !!!!!
Out of all the channel's that i watch where they custom built, yours is by far my most favorite. I LOVE how detailed you make everything. Utilizing ever square inch you got. ❤❤❤
Rosie: "It could be worse"
...is now my new perspective ❤❤❤
I would leave the shelves next to the window without doors. Thank you for sharing your skills ❤
What a very interesting life you lead...You glow with Happiness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't know what you plan to put on those little shelves you made round the window but I thought they looked better without any doors - just a personal thing - you are doing a great job!
I think the doors are what give the illusion of thick walls and depth.
Always in awe of your talent. The snow was just magical. Your littke house looked like a fairy cottage.
It’s calming to watch your gentle, accurate fabric and wood construction skills. When I was younger, used to sew and build also. What a lovely light filled window design …makes the room more open.
Rosie, watching you is a lesson in patience and grace. Beyond the your wonderful restoration work, lies a million life lessons. Most Aussie's will understand when I reference The Castle by saying ....How's the serenity! Also, Buffy and Voyager......perfection.
Always gutted when your videos end. Thank you for taking us with you.
Hi Rosie! Your dedication to transforming your space is inspiring. Embrace the challenges as opportunities for growth. Your progress motivates many. Keep up the amazing work!
You should use your sample dresses as nightgowns when you're finished with them
❤ the posting of this video made my day!
I think I would have lady those corner doors off. Lovely little shelves for plants in the window
Every time, every single time, I watch one of Rosie's videos, I'm filled from my chest with the warmest sense of peace and an odd homesickness for a life I haven't had yet. I'm always struck by Rosie's courage and ability to problem-solve. It makes this life seem possible!
Your building skills are so satisfying to watch Rosie, the way you calmly approach mistakes, regroup and remeasure...and then make a dress...soon you will be in the gardens making delicious meals and planting more flowers...you live a dream life for many and I look so forward to each video, it stirs in me that urge to start new projects and finish old ones...today I finished the painting of my front porch including the iron railings...and my opinion is...cute...!!!
Bonjour Rosie! I am so exited when I see a new video. You are my favorite moment. Love what you are doing. Love the way you are! Take care and see you soon Sweet Rosie! An old young 76 fans! Have an excellent week!
What a lovely surprise to wake up to an extra video Rosie xx
Another delightful video - thank you.
I am mesmerised by the way Roaming Wild Rosie’s build outs are lifting the rooms in the cottage from plain boxes to something special. The bay window wardrobe feels like it was always meant to be as does the earlier build around the door to the kitchen in the other room. Well done that designer/builder.
I do love my own tiny house filled with IKEA bookcases and other items. But, oh dear, oh dear, they do feel protruding and angular by comparison with that Swedish cottage - very much blocks placed within a room rather than natural relief of the walls of the room.
I don’t know the correct filming terms but I really like the technique of intercutting two scenes while letting the sound from one scene run through both scenes. An example of this is the sound of sewing the overalls over the visual of walking in the woods wearing the overalls. This and cutting between building, essentially a once only activity, and hanging out the washing (repetitive domesticity) gives so much reality to the story.
You are so brave living alone without even a dog or a cat. And the job you are doing is very special. Congrats!!!
“Time is like a muscle, the more you use it the bigger it gets”. Wow. Thank you ❤
Among your many skills, you can say you are a videographer, too. I love your videos, Rosie, and always look forward to seeing them. I think you sew like you build…neatly, precisely and with patience. Thank you.
What a beautiful videography!
Your channel and your videos has such a calming effect on me.
There is so much effort in what you do and you handle everything in such a careful and deliberate way. It's more than inspiring, it makes me stop and think.......
Thank you.
The living room is turning out so beautiful, and yes you should definitely use two layers of the textile anyways to make it more dense and not so see-thru 😍
I’m always impressed by how well you use a hand saw. Your cuts always look very straight and accurate. A lot of people (myself included) skip practicing hand tool skills and go for powder tools like mitre and table saws for straight and repeatable cuts.
Why am I always aurprised at how elabiorate your designs are? To me the window arrangment Is beautiful. I am in awe. not only of your craftsmanship but also your poise and self-reliance.
Rosie, your design is looking enchanting. Looking forward to seeing where your imagination takes us on this room make over. For someone whom to my knowledge had not engaged in wood work until you bought your home - you have a wonderful way you use wood and design. Your folks must have a smile watching you on line and seeing you grow as a person in your own space. I hope they are able to return one day when you have finished your work and enjoy catching up with you in the spaces you have created. Its come a long way since your mum was digging a pipe trench for you and all of you were dealing with the results of neglect in the building. All the best.
Everyone needs a little Buffy now and again. I love watching your process. Building and being creative is my anti-depressant. You are doing great.
Watching with my morning cuppa. What a great start to the day.
I'm so pleased to see a new video, Rosie. I have been watching all of your videos over the past couple of weeks and I thoroughly enjoy them. The home and life you are building is so wholesome and comforting to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us all. :)
Your videos show me how to live peacefully.
What a beautiful way to start my day, watching you share your life with me! The drone shots are so enjoyable! And all that snow, out of nowhere, then totally gone again, leaving not a trace! Love your overalls! The 2 shelves by the window would be lovely without doors, just add your favorite things there. And isn't life a roller coaster? Up with joy one moment, down with disappointment the next! Looking forward to seeing you again soon, thanks for sharing with us, lots of love and hugs Rosie!
Return to nature, and self reliance at it's finest. Music to sooth the soul. Sweden must be paradise.
You go Girl!
Those are lovely shelves that draw the eye to the windows and that beautiful view outdoors. What a transformation, and the wardrobes will be so useful to create a calm and clutter-free space.
The shelfes around the window look very amazing. What a great idea to close the shelfs with a shutter at the day and open it up at night. It will look sooooo cool👍
You are living a life that many people wish hey could but they have fasten in the squirrel wheel and can not get of...Good Luck with all in your future !
Your wardrobe creation is beautiful, can't wait to see how it progresses.
I love the funky banjo music. It goes well with your cute overalls. 🪕 I love the idea of the linen in the wardrobes. Adds a lovely soft touch to the wood. I don't know why we are surprised at your creative skills, you are after all a designer. No brainer... Beautiful Rosie.
Roaming Wild Rosie!🌹
You have boundless
Creativity!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job on the new closet & shelving!
Love the new linen overalls!!!❤️🥰🫶🏻
This video was a great surprise this morning. My coffee and I are enjoying your work and the beautiful scenery. Enjoy your day.
Hi Rosie , far be it from me to interfere with your design work, but I can’t help thinking about the shelving either side of that window.. I had a vision of no doors on it , and having some plants tumbling down with Knick knacks dotted around the other shelves.. my apologies for interfering 🤷♂️keep up the great work 👌👍
Watching your videos makes me feel like I can do anything. I am so in awe and so proud of all the work you do. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I like how you say, “It should be a really simple build.” For you maybe. Your skills are admirable from sewing to building. Your creative muscle is impressive.
It always amazes me how the snow just comes after such a lovely sunny day.
Great job with wallpaper and cupboard. Looks super smart
Renovation wallpaper! Brilliant. I live in a 100+ year old house. Not very well made just means you will be more mindful when you wear them and love them all the more! Just adjust the center of balance of your load on your trailer. It will let you ride faster.
Beautifully filmed in every aspect. Your videos are so relaxing. Thank you, Rosie.
Maybe the last snow for this season!!!! You are wonderful! Every video gives me strength for the whole week!!!! Thank you....
It's amazing what you can do with timber. I am envious of all the storage you will have.
Yes the way you have got the window is quite unique , very stylish this is your design ❤
Hey Rosie, this window is so 'cute'... I love that you say cute! Actually, the window treatment is giving me serious Jane Austen vibes, the kind of nook if it was wider, one can sit in to read a book. You're amazing!
Well done for dungarees, dress, trailer carrying, woodwork!❤
