NEW DREAM HOUSE TOUR - We Bought a 1950's wooden villa
Hello and welcome to a full house tour of our new home!
I still can't believe this is where I live, especially since I've always been more of a city girl and now I live in a big old wooden house 30 min drive away from the Helsinki center.
In this video I wanted to show you around our new beautiful house, and hopefully I can give you an updated tour maybe in a year from now when we've got more furniture XD
Hope you'll enjoy this video, remember to SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you'll be notified every time there's a new video 💕

"You can just put stuff here and forget it ever existed" is the perfect description of what the attic in my family house was 😂👀 Congratulations on getting this dream of a house, it looks very inspiring!
Your excitement is infectious, Kika! Your eyes are literally sparkling. I'm so happy that you and Yuki (and his son) have found such a gorgeous, spacious home. The aesthetic is so warm, bright, and welcoming--it matches you perfectly. I can't wait to see how the house evolves into your own very personal home over time. Imo, you have the best of both worlds--city and country--where you are now. I think your plan to take regular trips into Helsinki is a good one to give you the stimulation and socialization you need. I'm a city girl too (Washington, DC, USA), but in DC it's hard to get anywhere in under 30 minutes, so think of that when your commute feels too long.🤣 The best of everything on your continuing adventure
Such a gorgeous, charming and cozy space with so much character! The fact that you had your wedding there truly makes it your unforgettable home and an amazing start of your new life together.
It's a beautiful home to grow into. I love how open and bright it looks and feels. I can see you spending many happy years there and adding your warm personal touch through flowers, small sculptures, knit pieces...I'm really happy for you and excited to see how you transform this already lovely space. 💖
This is a truly AMAZING house, it is suffused with magic and charm and it feels like a hug from bottom to top, I am really jazzed to see it! One of the surprising plusses is where you can put your litterbox. I think you may have found a perfect spot for it and that is my one wish for our own house of dreams. The house we bought has a jaw dropping view out the back (for being in the center of Tucson, Arizona) but it was not designed to be kitty-friendly and we talk all the time about how we could make that happen. We have not come upon a solution yet, so we are pining for kitties and hope the future will have them in it. But your house is truly just right and it feels like you could hardly live anywhere else. My heart was so full to see the little deer towards the end and I sense all the lovely nature around you. This is a home where love will abound and the natural world is at your door to welcome you. 😻
I love the idea of having a cosy TV room away from the main living rooms, sounds like a great place to hide way when you want some quiet time to yourself
Since a very short time, I stumbled into your channel, fascinated by the knitting of your awesome wedding dress. While sneaking to some more of your videos, I just came to like your personality, no matter which content. So, right now, I can only say: I am happy for you and wish you all the best in your new home and: all the best luck and joy for you two.
Your House is a Dream! Congratulations
I feel happy every time I see your videos. You express joy in everything you do and it is infectious! There’s a lot of creative inspiration in your new home and I am experiencing envy: specifically sink envy. Every breathing knitter wants one! I also love the brick/burnt caramel/curry color that not only are you wearing in your colorblock sweater, but every room seems to have a splash of it that really sings against the white. Knit on and enjoy!
II am so excited to let you know your knitting book arrived in the mail last week. I can actually look forward to winter in Canada because I want to knit everything in the book and it’s the best way to spend a long cold winter
I love the house, and the blue couch! It gives that corner a coffee house vibe, you should make that your coffee shop at home and add a TV to watch so you can knit in that gorgeous corner with all the windows. I'm so glad you're back, congratulations on your new home!
What a gorgeous house. May it always be filled with happiness.
This lovely home is as bright as you are.💕
It's absolutely amazing! Floors, exposed bricks, wood beams, white walls and so much light and space! Such an amazing house! So happy for you! Just finished watching! It's mind-blowing house! Such a beautiful place! Totally up to my esthetics! I'm in love! 💕💕💕
I subscribed after randomly stumbling across your gorgeous wedding dress video in my feed. I haven't knitted since my Grandma attempted to teach me when I was 9 but you have inspired me to try and knit a scarf... A sweater will cause me to have an emotional breakdown of epic proportions! Your new home is my Pinterest dream too 😍 It is absolutely stunning and so elegant, may it bring you and your husband many, many, many years of happiness and beautiful memories.
What a charming, happily situated place!🌄🏡💚
What a charming. Happily suited place 😍🍾 I paid cash for my house two weeks ago in Manchester. While watching this random video, I feel so proud of myself and what I've accomplished. I'm happy that I made a wise financial choice that has changed me for the better. I found your channel you rock 🤩🥳❤️

Here are some tips that helped me. 1. Plan towards it 2. Be frugal and minimal on spending (don't buy why you don't need ) 3. Save money towards retirement (Roth IRA/401k) 4. Build an emergency fund 5. Save to invest, this is the most important because it's a proven way to get richer. Very important to financial success.

Well said! But where can I find a reliable specialist? What advice would you give? I really want to get things going Harrison
Love the white house...you can think of adding more curtains...a heater or fire place for cold days and extra window panes to prevent the cold maybe
What a fabulous home !! For the short time you have been there it has turned out beautifully ! May you enjoy many happy years together in your lovely home ! RHODE ISLAND USA
Your beautiful home is dreamy! I just bought your book solely for the purpose of getting my hands on the pattern for the equally dreamy sweater you are wearing. Now, I’m congratulating myself for my good decisions. Tons of great patterns within the pages that are now in my “Must Make,” que. Happy Wednesday to me! 💝
Still so obsessed with the sprinkle sweater!!! Gosh I need that in my wardrobe
Kika I just love everything about your new house, I'm so happy for you both. And that dinner table is beautiful.
I love that house. Vintage vibes

Hi. I got a Christmas giveaway notice as a reply from you? Is this a legit reply? I wasn't sure so thought I should check with you.
I love love love your kitty. I had a Himalayan, blue seal and a blue tabby Persian. My lives!
It is a very beautiful house. Warm and cozy
It's a lovely old home. It looks as if a few people have put their stamp on it. That makes it very unique. Now is time for you to add your stamp on it as well .. congratulations on your home. It is amazing indeed
Thank you for sharing your world with us! Your home is beautiful and the excitement and joy you exude is precious. Love your knitting and was so excited to hear you talk about the Japanese Knitting Bible! I just bought it a few months ago and you are the first person I’ve heard talk about it!! Can’t wait to try out some of the patterns. Congrats and you will love being in the country. We moved 45 mins away from the city and I love it! Makes me plan my errands and try to fit as much as possible on my “going to town” days. Blessing. ❤
Wow! Thank you so much for showing us around your new home Kika. It looks really beautiful! What a wonderful space! Can’t wait to see all the personal touches you and your husband put on the place in the weeks and months to come! 😊✨
Congrats, beautiful home, more room to knit😊
Kika, I love your home. It is so much fun making it your own. I can't wait until you have completed your renovations.
What a beautiful home! I hope you will be very happy together for many years there!
Everything brings you joy...
Oh I just have to say thank you Kika ❤️ I have been binging all your videos both old and new, watching them all again and again, and they have just been the best comfort to mend after a breakup. You create such an incredible cozy atmosphere with your editing and calming voice haha, and it’s just been such a good companion whenever i sit down to knit by myself, feeling a bit alone in this now more empty apartment. So thank you so much❤️ And lol, finally I have something new to watch hahah!
Congratulations. You bring happiness to your viewers and me. It's good to see you happy.
I like the electric blue for a spot of color!
it is gorgeous and I am very happy for you! Enjoy!
Ooooo wow wow wow, this truly is a dreamhouse!!!!!!! I would love to live there, as it is now already is perfect to me. I love to watch your video's, you have an amazing talent for giving and bringing positive vibes and happiness, reaching far outside of Finland, I live in Belgium. I also love your knits, I am a tiny bit older and not everything you wear suits me, but your sweaters and cardigans are really beautiful. In all, your videos are very inspiring and a joy to watch. Wishing you both all the best for the soon to arrive baby!
Congratulations kika. I am really happy for you, I have been following you on this channel since the beginning and before it on instagram, and it so heartwarming to see you happy, married, have a house, and Knitting. After 2020 I really enjoy seeing people finding new paths in life or reclaiming their old path in mew ways, and this was not going to happen if it wasn’t for the pandemic. Congratulations again. Can’t wait to see more of your home. Greetings from Egypt
Congratulations, such a beautiful home 🎉😊
Oh Kika, your house is beautiful! What a great place to start your lives together and it has the added bonus of having your wedding memories there as well. I can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Your home is BEAUTIFUL! Wish you and your husband, world of happiness ❤❤
Girl, your videos have awakened the knitting muse in me like never before - must be all that happiness in your voice. Your new home is beautiful.
Kika, you are so gracious and confident to give all of us an intimate tour of your new home. Thank you! Now we all want to be your neighbor/friend and have you over for tea and knitting. I also worked alone from home for a few years and learned how important it is to reconnect with others on a regular basis. Us humans are really tribal creatures and we need other people, even when we don't want to admit it. It seems you have a great plan and can easily do it. I expect you will quickly make friends with some neighbors, and they will be wise to welcome you into their little town. Best wishes !
Congratulations!!!! Beautiful home!!
Your house looks awesome. Alot of white paint. Floors too. Looks like your bringing in the colors with items furniture, pictures?, plants that's good. Nice
That little couch is so happy to be so blue. Covering it up with so much blanket is making it feel self-conscious. It’s getting a complex. Love it the way it is, or give it to someone who does. ;)
Your house is beautiful. I agree that the white floors upstairs are so much better. Have fun making it yours!
Beams Rock! Love the exposed brick!
The yarn and sweaters in your office are beautiful!!!! So excited to see more diy’s in your new home as well as knitting and crocheting and sewing. You are so talented Kika 💕🙋🏻♀️🏔️
I love the house. I also like painted floors but have never had a house where I could do that.
Congratulations on moving to your own house. In my opinion it's the perfect place to live, considering how close and yet far from your beloved Helsinki. There's so much nature, so much beauty surrounding you, it's a good compromise you made. Love your knits I've been following you for a few months, you're such an inspiration ! Lots of love from Greece !!
Congrats and thanks for sharing! Btw. Google Street View has images of the property without the terrace. So you're right, it's quite new.
Love everything about this house! Everything!!!
Absolutely beautiful! So so happy for you guys 🎉❤
The house is bright! The most important thing. It may be a selling point for your knitting. Country girl in country house.

I can empathize with your feeling of needing to be in the city center to be connected. I live alone and work at home and think I would feel lonely and disconnected if I lived more in the country. I find being in a lively neighborhood gives me energy but sometimes yearn for more space from people who are not considerate of being in closer location to others. Hard to choose one or the other situations! I love the romantic details and all the white floors/walls. I think the decorations and furniture pop more and it keeps it feeling light. Enjoy it! Looks like you will have fun with it!
I am absolutely in love with your home! You’ll figure it all out!
Congrats on your beautiful new home! It's a pleasure to see how much you love it, and I totally understand why! ✨ Live creative and happy days, dear Kika and thank you SO much for the lovely house tour of your gorgeous home; it was such a joy 🤩
Beautiful…I can’t wait to see how you end up styling it! Keep us posted?😊
What an amazingly perfect home. Just throw in a few more top floor showers and it is perfect!! So exciting!
It is so beautiful, and your joy is palpable 💓I'm so happy for you! 💫
Your home is beautiful! Congratulations to you both!! I can’t wait to see what you do with your space dedicated to your knitting. I hope you will find your space to hang out in the city.
I love your home so much! Beautiful!
LOVE the new home! Congratulations on the new life, marriage and home.🎉
It's lovely. I would paint the horns a thin coat of white and before it is completely dry wipe some off to let the gold peek through. I painted a mirror black and then realized it was too much and I went over it with white letting the black show through and now I love it.
Большое спасибо, Кика. Очень интересно было. Вы замечательная! Всех благ Вам и удачи. Берегите себя ❤️.

Wow! Thank you for this tour of your amazing new home. You both have done such a great job of making it special where, I'm sure, you'll all be very happy. I love the romantic simplicity and I love all the greenery. You guys have inspired me to paint my knitting room white. May you all have many, many years of happiness, good health and lots of fabulous knitting in your new home!! Hugs from Texas!!
I really like skandinavian houses and style indoor. I would like to have it in my home. I'm so happy you have your own space, and the space is really noce 😊
OMG! Jukie can build things? That’s awesome. The house is beautiful. Exactly what I imagine a house in Finland looks like. So airy and bright. My house in VA was also built in the 1950s but it is brick and smaller. I think you guys made a great purchase. Lovely 💕
Congratulations on finding your home, it's beautiful.
It's a lovely house with a lot of potential! The kitchen/wood couch might work well in the glass entrance. A little landing place for people and groceries and things, for putting on shoes etc. Very Scandinavian! :) A slip over linen cover for the blue kitchen couch might solve the color problem.
What a cool home! Can’t wait to see you next year-on post. Yay for you guys. ❤❤❤❤
LOVE your home! Congratulations! ❤
Lovely. Love all the white
Gorgeous house. You are making it so cozy. Also - thank you for making your new book economically accessible to your US knitting friends. I am so excited to receive it as I ordered it today. ❤
What a beautiful house en it has many possibilites for your work, hobby and family.
Such a beautiful home!! Must be amazing to have so much space now. Enjoy styling your home...and oh I've taken Emily's course on Skillshare and she is great!
It makes me so happy that you decided to do a house tour and show us your home! 😍 Congratulations to you Kika & your family! 🥰 Your house has so much character and it's so beautiful, I can't wait to see the updates because I really love your style! ❤️ The coffee corner and blue couch are my favourite. ❤️ Also, seeing your books everywhere in the video reminded me to grab mine and start knitting, I'll be making the 'Hello there mohair beanie' 🥰🧶
Awesome:) I love your new house! I'm pretty much a city girl too. I loved to live in center of Helsinki when living back in Finland. But now after more than 10 years living abroad and most of it in California I dream about a little summer house outside Helsinki.... Let' see:)
Thank you so much to the house tour! I can see why you are so excited about it, I love the exposed beams and the wooden floors! In our younger years we bought an older home here in Canada and found our basement floors were so cold it basically made it uncomfortable to be down there. But because we had three teenagers we needed the space so we put in in-floor hot water heating. It was a total and absolute game changer. It’s actually made the basement completely livable and the heat even rose into the second floor and made it cozier as well. Now we have built our own home and of course in floor heating went into the basement and even into our garage. Winter can be very cold in Canada and climbing into a warm car and cozy garage is wonderful. In our upstairs bathroom, where we do not have in floor heating, We put in an electrical mat under the slate tiles and it stays toasty warm all winter!
Beautiful!
Thank you Kika for giving a videotour of your beautiful house. It’s stunning! 🤩
Absolutely beautiful! So happy for you and excited to see what you do.
Congratulations on your cozy and beautiful home, all the best for both of you!
If your new laundry room has access to the garden, and the toilet room there as well, you will find it great for when dirty people (children, dogs, etc) come in from the garden or outdoor activities. A place to strip all the wet and dirty clothes off before showering and going upstairs clean. Rather than dripping mud over all of your white floors!
Love❤your new home. Love the quaint charm and character. I could see myself on the terrace knitting and having coffee ☕️
Really lovely and very homely, thank you for sharing.
I have to have one of your sweaters! Omg, they are beautiful!!! ❤
Your new home is so lovely!😊❤
G’day, how honoured I feel showing off you’re beautiful new home it’s certainly so special 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Thank you for letting us have a look!
Lucky, lucky you!! That will be an amazing home once you finish the transformation. You will get used to the beauties of living in the country. Make time to get to know your neighbours and you will have a variety of cafes to visit and knit.
Super- yu made insane view!see ya!. 🤗
Love your home! So much potential for creativity. Thank you for sharing. 💁♀️🇨🇦
What a lovely house ...and so much space ... Dream kitchen indeed. But I agree it needs color accents to make it more cozy and homelike ... I think accents in sage green or greyish blue would look wonderful and not to dark . Pillows or rugs in a bit darker color blue , but not to bright so it will keep looking light and calm
what a beautiful home you have! I'm sure you will have many happy years and will make many happy memories there. I like the little blue sofa. One thing you might consider to tone down the colour would be to make a little slipcover for it out of a thin white cotton lawn. The colour would show through, but the sheer fabric would bring the brightness down.
