I bought a house in Sweden for $30k | House Tour
Hej everyone, welcome back 💌 Today I am opening my doors to give you a little insight into my house & property in the Swedish countryside one year after getting the keys to it.
There's still a lot to do but I believe that's the beauty of it 💜
Love,
Sophie

I absolutely love the fact that you kept it like it was and didn’t replace all the furnirure with modern cheap pieces like you see all the infuelncers renovate their house into a sad black and white box.... your house is full of character and really beautiful!
Just beautiful space! Congratulations. Kudos on getting things second hand to tread gently on this earth. One thought I had is to consider moving your office out of your bedroom. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary for rest and relaxation. Having your work and your sleeping space in the same location may not be conducive to good rest. A Google search on this topic will return some good articles on the reasoning behind separating those two very different activities. You seem to have enough space in the rest of the house for an office nook or desk. I can't wait to see the progress you'll make in the garden, which is so lovely already. Well done so far!

What an amazing property for $30,000 dollars. I love it. I subscribed because I want to see why you do with the sun room because I’m an avid gardener. I’m going to go back and watch the other videos to see your journey up to now. You were so fortunate to find this, I send you so much love ♥️ and light ✨

Your second bedroom is amazing and your house is so cozy. I dream of being surrounded by nature. Very nice, congrats❤🏡💐
I dream of being surrounded by nature like this, you're very blessed! ❤
If this was my place i would put the big table in the living room area and the white table by the kitchen. Its a stunning house and wow the view❤❤❤

Wow you really lucked out. It's a phenomenal space, and so cute.
Thankyou Sophie, a very professional presentation considering you are new to having your own channel on KZread. You have already worked wonders on transforming your house into your home and as you said yourself there is no hurry to achieve everything at once. The cost of building an open fireplace in your living room is going to be prohibitive. As you are in a country setting why not consider a wood burner stove. This requires very little building work to install a glass fronted burner in your living area. Keep in mind your house is made of wood and an open fireplace can create sparks and the potential for a fire. I noticed you already have a covered wood store in the garden and wood is generally easily obtained in the country areas. I will be interested to follow your progress and have subscribed. Well done young lady. AU

Hej, thanks a lit for sharing your thoughts on this - I’ll consider another wood burner stove and see how much it’d end up costing me. But hopefully shouldn’t be too much! 🙂 Anyways, thanks a lot for your comment, appreciate it 🙏🏻
Such a beautiful and peaceful space! Good luck with all the renovating, you’re doing really well❤️

There’s so much potential!… I love the home, I love the wood floors and the windows throughout the kitchen and living room, it’s so cozy! Kudos to you Sophie… 👍 Cheers from California!
Oh my goodness! What a bargain, at $30,000! This is a great house, and you have so much besides just the house. Take your time with it. I love watching cows. Thanks for your tour.
It's ok to have empty space in the rooms as you take your time and choose the pieces you really love.
Wow... All my life wondering where my twin soul might be. And there you are 😍. Beautiful, just like the sweetest dream ever.
What a wonderful find ! Very good price . I think you need some curtains, to make it cosy and cut down on the echo, in the sitting room. If you put the bookcases on the right , as you were standing, I think it might make the room look long and narrow. I think they would look better on the short wall opposite your glazed cupboards and TV. Anyway , you've found a wonderful house for yourself. K
I Enjoyed this tour , I think the nature is Beautiful and the house is in really good shape! Kitchen is sweet with a gorgeous dining area. Definitely needs a fireplace in living RM! It would fit the house perfectly! Library a win, especially if you could see the fireplace in a big comfy chair to sit in! Thank You for sharing!

Hi, Sophie, I'm a new subscriber. Love your home, I would only switch rooms: imagine your current bedroom with two windows as a salon with your working desk, but your current living room as your bedroom, you just need to switch sofa and your bed between two rooms 😊

I would move the darker furniture if she switches rooms. In a larger room it wouldn’t be so heavy feeling. The other room would be perfect for her fireplace/wood stove. Beautiful home. Love all of her hard work.

Adore your house and property. Here in the US that greenhouse would be 30 thousand. You are so fortunate. What part of Sweden is it? Are there other houses such as yours for a good price?
@sophiefalke

Same in my home country, would be soo much more expensive! This is in Västernorrland- so northern/central part of Sweden. There’s actually loads of empty, cheap properties out here in the countryside, so such prices are not uncommon 🥰

The average price, including the more expensive newer houses in the towns/cities, is like 50k up here in northern Sweden. It's become incredibly popular for foreigners to buy summer homes and a lot also move here permanently because of it. Just nice houses and properties for cheap. At least for now, prices have been shooting up rapidly in recent years. Used to be even cheaper. You could get a house like this and large property for as low 15-20k euros not many years ago.
How marvelous to be given such a lovely tour of your beautiful new home!😍 Thank you bunches! And~~ Congratulations, & welcome to the exciting world of home stewardship, from your newest subscriber, in Minneapolis, Minnesota! 🌿💐🌿😊💚😘🌿💐🌿
If you move your curtain rod near the ceiling, I think it will look better!

I can't believe you bought all that for only $30,000.dollars, you can't even buy a really decent new car in the States for that kind of money. I can give you a tip on how to get your decorating ideas down so you can start discovering your likes and dislikes although maybe you're already doing this. I know a few people who started by reading and pulling out pages from decorating magazines of all the things which caught their eye. Soon enough you have a folder filled with ideas which appeal to you and as you start going over & over your collection of photos, eventually you start to gravitate to a certain look which I guess becomes you as you start applying it in your own home. I congratulate you on being courageous enough to take on such responsibility and I hope when you get really settled, you will think about adopting a pet and maybe even renting out your guest house. This could be the beginning of something really great for you!
Beautiful love it

Is the play house large enough to make into your office? Then you "leave" the house to go to work. If you work regularly, that is. Beautiful property and a true dream house! Congratulations!
