House Tour - our cabin in Northern Sweden that we renovated ourselves
The house tour is finally here! We hope you enjoy watching. I remember that when we lived with my parents in my childhood bedroom I loved watching house tours, it gave me a sense of hope, it allowed me to live vicariously through other people. Watching the joy in other people making a house a home inspired me, it helped me to imagine what it would feel like when it was finally us. I hope that this video does the same for you. We hope it inspires you to see what beauty is yet to be uncovered and encourages you to have your own adventure.

What's up everyone, we are Naomi and Jack 👋
We are a young married couple who are all about personal growth.
In summer 2020, amidst a global pandemic, we uprooted our lives in Central London and decided to move to Northern Sweden.
We were fed up of living on top of millions of other people in London, living out of one room in a flat shared with Naomi's parents, all whilst studying, working, creating KZread content and launching our business.
So we bought a car, packed it full of our belongings, and drove nearly 3000km to Sweden with no idea where we were going to live.
This year we are taking time out of studying Medicine and Law to pursue our business, BEAUTYNOIR, the Afro-Caribbean hair and beauty directory helping women to book beauty better.
So join us as we share and document our journey through film.
We are so pleased to share our journey with you and hope to build a community of people who can support one another and grow together.
Lots of love
Naomi and Jack

Remarkable how much ya’ll have done, it’s so adorable! PLEASE be CAREFUL with candles and Lola! Cats tails n whiskers! Get glass globes/covers to protect from horrible accident. As new kitty Mom n Dad lots things learn like every new parent. Cats walk,jump,brush everywhere- open candles like that going end in tragedy, I know myself! Love watching your adventures!
Noticed that the snow is sliding off your roof, suggests that you are loosing heat through the roof and need to improve the insulation. As for the candles, when I first moved to Sweden I noticed that whenever we visited someone's house they first lit at least one candle and placed it on a coffee table and then put the coffee on. I wondered if they were expecting power cuts but eventually came to realise this is just a Swedish sign of welcome and wanting the house to feel cosy. 😊

older houses often have a sub optimal isolated roof, and as it's a real big job to isolate it, this is usually left for a bigger necesarry roof repair or recladding; which does not mean that jack shold not have a look into it
@Telindra

Yeah I concur, they should have someone come out there and have a look at their attic to check the status of the insulation and the inside of the roof. There might be some fairly simple and cheap actions they can take in order to increase the roofs insulation overall.

Right. I am not surprised; when they were ripping wallpaper from the ceiling, to expose the wooden panelling, it occurred to me that the wallpaper was likey laid on the ceiling to retain minimise heat loss via the roof.

Don't forget that it's a steel roof with a substantial pitch. It's intended to shed the snow, insulation aside.

Cats+candles=house fire. Does your village have fire apparatus? If not, how near is the nearest? Cats + candles = house fire. Do you have fire extinguishers? Smoke detectors, a must. Your home is lovely. You have done such a remarkable job! Your home is made from older materials. Materials quite friendly with combustion. Please don't allow your love of candles to cloud your judgement. Cats + candles = house fire.
The first time I saw the house filled with the previous owners belongings - I absolutely shuddered at the thought of dealing with all that stuff. Impressed at how you have made use of what has been left - and beautifully made it your own. You are truly an inspirational pair !
Love your home! Please take out the hanging vine plants ASAP for the safety of your new kitty...Those look like Ivy and Ivy is EXTREMELY toxic to cats (liver/kidney failure). I recommend spider plants as a replacement because they hare hanging and are safe for her to nibble on as well! Much love 🥰❤️
Congratulations on your hard work. Some backstory about the chest @15:03. This is probably a "hope chest" (sv. Brudkista) which was traditionally given to unmarried women. They later brought this chest and its content to their new home, once they got married. It usually contained household items and linens (often woven by themselves, with an embroidered monogram as a finishing touch). If it's a brudkista you'll often find initials, and a year/date written somewhere on the chest. The date either represents the time of birth or time of marriage. Same model, but reinforced, was later used during the big emigration to US. Then often called "the emigrant trunk" (sv. Amerikakoffert/Amerikakista). About 25% of all Swedes (1.5M) decided to leave for a better life across the Atlantic between the years ~1860-1920. One of the main drivers was the discrimination that followed after the great famine 1867-1869. Even though some of these chests have made their way back home to Sweden, it's more likely to find them in the U.S.

Love how the snow makes your home look like a gingerbread house! Super cozy for sure - I love it! Well done!
You guys have accomplished so much in such a short time! The blessings that the previous owner left you are beyond measure! Thank you for all of the drone footage. What a gorgeous corner of the world!
Just want to say that you should get some smoke detectors with all those candles if you don’t have any already. It’s a cheap life insurance :)

Mandatory smoke alarms in all homes has been law in Sweden since 2003
You can train cats to stay off counters and away from plants. Just say No loud and she will eventually understand. Also get her her own shelf to hang out on. A scratch post is also great. Give her a treat when she obeys you. I have had cats all my life and 3 right now. The two black doors in your kitchen would be a nice spot to put a wood shelf above for your plants.
Just wanted to drop you a little note that you probably wouldn't want to install a wood burner in to your living room using the same chimney because the smoke from the fire below will come out of your new burner. Use to live in a house where the previous owner had done this and when we were having the chimney cleaned they condemned it and we needed to have it removed and sealed off so we could continue to use the fire below 👍 I believe you could do a wood burner in the corner and vent through the wall though
You all did a great job I like the exposed ceiling Please don't leave your home study online that's the way we all have to live now. It's so beautiful the home and scenario. So talented both of you I like all the ART WORK that you did. Cheers
Love your videos. Thought about something on your house. I don't know if anyone has said that it seems like the roof lacks insulation because it seems like the heat goes out through it. Normally if the roof is adequately insulated the snow would remain on the roof until the sun melts it away but on your house it seems to slip off or melt away anyway. I don't know if this remark helps you in anyway but it's only my thoughts.... When you are driving up to the garage you shouldn't let the car spin its wheels, carefully let it slowly drag itself up :) when it starts spinning leave the throttle directly and don't rev up! We don't usually salt the driveway at all, only critical places like the steps of the outside stairs. Regarding the snowblower and that it takes the gravel and grass, when you get a bit more snow the ground will be the snow itself and cover both grass and gravel. Then you only will take the snow away. Anyone agrees with me - or disagrees? :) Love all of what you have done so far. Good luck in the future!!
You have a beautiful home. You place such care into all you touched. You must be proud of what you have accomplished. The items you inherited are perfect. The trunk is a treasure. We have been watching you work so hard on the Reno’s to make it your own and now the finished product.... thank you for sharing.Naomi and Jack. You make KZread worth watching.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, that is such a lovely serene home you guys have made....I love fall/winter snows, depending on where you live in the states, you just don't get that anymore....Honestly, you guys have shown that exploring beyond your boundaries is possible and not beyond reach....Tickled pink at your success....very inspirational......keep climbing King and Queen and little queen Lola....I love cats...
I love the Chemistry between you and Jack. Waiting for my own Jack

A nordic paradise
You are a beautiful couple who love each and love to be together, keep loving and caring for each other 🌼💐🌷🌺🌹🤩🥀🥰😍
Love your home. It is beautiful and the candles make it divine. I love winter and the snow. You make me want to move to Sweden. God Bless and continue to enjoy your home and the love and life, the wonderful gifts that God has given you.
Those candles scare me, careful with kitty. Beautiful home.
Hello Naomi and Jack I enjoyed your house tour All I got to say the house is bigger than what it looks wow I love that staircase going up the stairs with a carpet on it and your bedroom and our bath area all lined up in our little closet with her clothes skin care products around did a good job at the house
Naomi I love all your positive sayings and words of encouragement. I am so proud of you two.
You have turned your house into a beautiful home 🥰 what a special, magical place 🌟 We are so excited to visit! Thank you so much for the mention, I have had 10 new subscribers in the past hour 🙏❤️
you guys did a great job fixing the place to your liking. you made it a little paradise and you will enjoy redoing the basement as an additional functional place. I really hope you fall in love with the country up there and live up there a long happy life.
i love the wine bottles as candle holders so creative, such an inspitation

Awesome work guys, we love the quality of your videos, the editing skills and the ideas. DYI is the way to go. We've also been thinking to move to Sweden one day, we definitely need to catch up on a lot of your videos since we just found you guys!
I think Naomi’s art is dark and reflective and Jack’s art is galactic and other worldly; but both are amazing pieces 🧡 Is there no end to your talents besides house renovations, business ideas and thought provoking vlogs? You are very inspiring indeed 🐝
I live in Sweden, in Stockholm, but watching your videos makes me long for the northern parts of our fantastic country. We used to get plenty of snow down here too in the winters but the last few years has just been wet and rainy and boring. I want to ski and build snowmen and go skating on lakes as we used to when I was a kid. Damn global warming. It’s strange that an english couple can open my eyes about my own country but I’m seriously considering a move up north now. You guys are an inspiration. Keep it up.
I couldn't stop smiling for both y'all
First, I want to say that the two of you did an amazing job on your home. It had great bones but to know that you both pretty much gave it a deep cleaning and reused the former owners items was the epitome of upcycling and sustainability! I hope the previous owner smiles when they see the love you put into renovating their old home. I am absolutely astonished but the transformation of your home! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful. I'm older, but if I were not alone, I'd love to live in Sweden for a few years.
Lovely, lovely, lovely. I am going to take note and write down for myself gratitude notes. Especially in this pandemic. What a way to feel great. Thank you for sharing.
Well done Naomi and Jack! Watching your journey is such a beautiful escape for me. Wishing you all the best going forward!
I like Everything. It's all so Wonderful. I can't believe after watching your journey from London to here -- of the many gifts that the two of you have. All of your Videos are very special, thinking about the unique path and relationship building that the 2 of you have created, with your Subscribers. Next thing to do: With your gift for telling Stories thru a lens -- maybe create & produce a documentary/movie for an even wider audience. BTW, Seeing this Video has created a longing for Sweden. You definitely achieved the "Cozy" that I envisioned -- to Perfection. Lola is beautiful. Love Cats. My previous Cat's name was Jesse.
What a wholesome couple. Gosh, i wish i was young again. Congratulations 👏
Beautiful renovation!!!! Please be careful with the candles They are fire hazzard, please be careful Love what yall did with you both home
The tour was incredible, you guys did so much. The before and after is amazing. I’m glad you guys didn’t win that house after all. This house showed you both what you are made of; and showed you both how much you depend on just each other. God be praised, Many blessings. You have inspired many.
Beautiful home,beautiful country and people
You found a treasure in this house, well done for all your hard work. The house is beautiful and is obviously in very good hands x
A beautiful home! I love everything about it. You both did a great job. May the Creator continue to Bless you, and your baby (kitty). Peace, Love and Light always.

It actually makes me emotional now when I watch these videos; this one being no exception. After the exceptional drone footage at the end, and the lovely music 🎶, I take a few deep breaths and emotion wells up from within ( odd but true). So yes, your sharing of your experience is bringing me close to my own dream. I am old enough to have seen for myself dreams from within can and will happen with God guiding the willing. I will join you on Patreon and continue joining you in your journey as I begin to pursue mine. THANK YOU for sharing!! Your home is a real cozy wonderful home! You both did a wonderful job! You showed it is doable for anyone. The land surrounding is stunningly beautiful!
I really do admire you both as a young couple. Your choice of background music and the aerial footage; which I believe Jack includes, makes me feel like I'm a part of this whole experience. Thank you so much for sharing your life's journey with us.💞❤❤❤❤❤ Love makes the world go around❣🙏🏽🇹🇹
Thank you for the tour of your lovely home. You both did some great in home projects and I like your art work. It looks so cozy and you live in such a peaceful area with your own forest. 💚💚
Lola is probably in wonderful shock from going to small children to cozy calm arms. Loving it. Beautiful cat!
I’ve been looking forward to this tour! You two have worked so hard on your home! My favorite painting is the one that Josh made as it fits in with the black & white theme. I think I’m going to adopt your daily gratitude journaling to begin the day. I feel as though that is needed this year especially!!

U guys have done so well. I love your home and your cat is so so cute. All your paintings are beautiful I like the one on the stairs best, it applies to me. God bless thanks for letting me in on your journey 😎💃💖💝
I as a Brit, have lived in Sweden since 94 👍 Well done with the house, one thing I noticed at the end of the video was that your roof snow has melted and partially slid off. Look at the other houses in the area and nothing has moved. Just an observation as a bit more roof insulation would save you some money 👍👍
I love what you have done with your house so far. It is a beautiful place and you are so very lucky. You are a beautiful couple. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I like your artwork the best by the way Jack 🙂.
Congratulations on your new house what you’ve done to it so far it’s amazing. There’s indefinite possibilities for renovation. I love all the candles.
Love it! It makes me tear up with joy when i see the north of sweden❤
I love what the cottage looks like. The before and after is amazing! I find it difficult to choose my Fav painting, but if I had to choose I like the energy of jacks best. It could depict the creation of the universe before the stars and planets found their way home!😏
What are your plans post-Brexit? I know Swedes in the UK need to apply for settled status to be allowed to stay. Maybe a good topic for another video :)
Well done you couple, you have done more than thought,,,,,,,.
Apart from your gorgeous kitty, my favourite thing in your house is the old wall clock. And the stair rail! But it all looks so cosy and warm. Fantastic job both of you.
It became lovely, you must feel so lucky with all that furniture. You could make that bed and all the rest was there. Lola needs to be added to the title, Naomi, Jack, and Lola. I like the textured painting, the whites above makes it spacious. A warm and cozy home, well done.
Looks absolutely gorgeous
Loved the tour.....love the style...... Can't wait for the in depth tour of the outbuildings cos I'm nosey ..... For me I love Josh's artwork the most!!!!!!
Another brilliant video! What a wonderful thing for me to watch before I go off to sleep. Again your auntie from the United States is so incredibly proud of the both of you. Jack - you are a man of God. Provider, leader, servant. Thank you so much for all that you do to make a beautiful and comfortable life for your wife. Naomi - what a gift you are to the body of Christ. Your art is amazing. You have inspired me to dig deep into my creativity to see what lies there to bring forth. Please continue to honor and respect your husband. The two of you are a wonderful pair. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Keep up the amazing work. Blessings from North Carolina in the United States!
I liked the first painting... It reminds me of the the trees covered by snow....
