Kalle, you are such an ambitious kindhearted man. I think it’s incredible the work you’ve put into your cabin and new studio. It’s awesome that you have so many people reaching out to you and helping you out along the way. Christine’s reaction was so cute! Thank you for sharing your adventures in renovation!
So sweet to do that for her! Great neighbors!!
She went from 'where's my stuff are you kicking me out?' to 'honey I love what you did with the floor!'.

Of course! 😊
What a lovely surprise for Christine. Great job. I look forward to getting a glimpse of your new cosy corner, which I am certain, will turn out magical. Here's wishing you both a wonderful Christmas with your families. Kind greetings from Saarland, Germany, from "another" Christine. 👋
When it comes to Kindness, action speaks louder then words That was kind of him to reach out and do for you😊
Beautiful! I can’t wait to see the final results. Nice job, Kalle.
Could you extend the flooring to cover the opening to the entryway? That'll make it a lot safer and more useable room

Oh no, the confusion when she came home. I am really curious to see the endresult! Wish you both a blessed christmas. Greetings from Germany.
Beware of making such risky surprises for an introvert, Kalle! :) By the look on her face for a second she thought you're kicking her out with her books!.. ) Keep up the renovation work though, pleasure to see how this all runs!

Kalle, the work you have done looks magnificent! The lighter shade of the boards makes the space seem larger and warmer. I can't wait to see how you decorate it and arrange the furniture (couch at least, ja?). You and Christine will spend some lovely and cozy nights up there together watching films. I wish you both a happy Winter season! You are such a lovely couple and I enjoy watching and listening to you.
It’s nice how all the upgrades are coming together! 👏 Wish you amazing holidays 🎄✨

Aren't there sanders that catch the dust? Or maybe hang up plastic? That dust was everywhere 😂
This is so lovely for you to this as a surprise! I'm looking at the floor space. I know you wanted to keep the stairs open but in time you could put more floor boards across those beams [not all the way] and make more space. This would also keep more heat below and upstairs. So very, very wonderful :) 💖💖
Beautiful wooden floor!! Love those old floors. So full of character. Big surprise!🤎✨🎄
Very kind of you to bless her with a makeover.
Beautiful. Can't wait to see part two
Such a sweet surprise! Great job 👏🏻
Hi! Kale and Christine, very nice surprise you are doing for Christine! 😊❤. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Indeed, people are in general really helpful and kind. I've noticed the same after moving to a smaller town as it is somehow easier to get in contact with people. Interesting to see the results!
Awesome Kalle it's going to be so cozy and lovely! Can't wait to see it finished.
What a nice surprise to come home to! That room will be so lovely when you're finished.
Can't wait to see the finish look😊where you both can cozy up with a cup of tea
I recently came about this channel and I’m so glad that I did. Everything about the content is and experience. The calmness, the motivation, the inspiration, the all. Keep up the good work Sir.
Yay, looks so lovely and light now. It's so fun to surprise your partner, the reaction was so funny! When I used to go away more often my husband would do lots of little things to make the house better. Such a great thing to do.
This cosy corner is a great idea ! You did a beautiful job. It's comforting to know that helpful people still exist. I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode 😊.
Always forgetting it is Sunday only to realize it's time for a new video makes my day!

Hi, I'm new to your channel, and I enjoyed it so much. The surprise reno for Christine was precious and so was her reaction. You did a great job Kalle!!!👍👍♥️💕😍🥰💖
What a sweet and thoughtful thing to do for Christine. Your cabin is so nice and charming. Thank you for sharing.
This is a labour of Love Kalle :) I love it :)
the floors look great! I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
you are doing a good job. This is going to be a beautiful space for you two. ❤❤
Dear Kalle, Your work.....this was pure love!!!! I appreciate you and you are so loving and kind. Thank you for your work and showing an example of love. Greetings from Germany.
As soon as I saw you set to work with that cordless random orbital sander I thought "Oh no, no way dude, you will be there forever!". They're just not built for that and you can burn them out by doing it. Fantastic that you had a local (ish!) place that was happy to loan you the right tool for the job though, what a great guy he is. And the floor looks fantastic, a huge difference. We have a lot of floorboards in our house too and we used Danish Oil when we moved in, but if I can face the upheaval at some point I would strip them and use something nicer. Same goes for the 200 year old elm floorboards in one of the bedrooms, but I'm not long done decorating that room and can't face emptying it out again!
Wow!!! Kalle, the renovations are looking amazing!! I know Christine will love it!! I love your videos!! Wishing you both the happiest of holidays!!! Blessings to you Christine, the dogs& your families!!😍😍😍🎄🎄🎄🎄🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing! You did great work!
Love it! What a sweet guy you are.
A cozy corner -- a place to hang out, watch a movie -- a simple desire but takes a lot of love and work to make it possible. You are amaziing! What joy you bring to Christine! Thanks for sharing! Happy Christmas!
Nice work, Kalle. I'm looking forward to seeing how you furnish the room.🌲
Hope to see how it turned out! Kalle, you are an inspiration. I just recently moved from a suburban area in the US to a state 7 hours away from the only home I’ve known. The area where I moved is very, very rural. And though I have running water and propane heat, I am inspired by your way of life and your endless energy. You are helping me adjust by seeing the way that you live.
Wow! Its great to see a nice surprise in mind.
Hi Kalle, great job mate, we really like the way your lifestyle is “evolving” - you guys are such an inspiration - we love your channel and it’s content and, of course, your wonderful aesthetic film work. Have a happy safe Christmas. Bruce in Australia.
Good job looks pretty!👍😊☃️🎄
Awesome 👏 been watching your videos for some time. Your truly living the life I want. Some day it will hapoen😊
Kalle, you are awesome. For those of us who possess few skills to do anything, we are shamed. But I can revel in your talents. Bravo.
as always, so AWESOME!!! You're inspiring Kalle! Well done 👍👍 A big Cheers and a hug. Merry and happy Christmas to you and Christine 🎄🎄✨✨
It looks like a new floor👍👍 Grate job! It all comes with time, step by step, so you can enjoy your life there more and more. 🙋♀️❤
What a beautiful and caring person you are. I hope Christine realizes that men like you are not easy to find today. Merry Christmas Kalle and Christine!
When we moved in the UK a few years ago we removed all the carpet from the original wooden floors and hired a floor sander to prepare the floors for varnish. It's noisy and dusty but it is fast. I'd recommend trying to find one to let you clean up the living room floor 👍👍
She is gonna love it! Can’t wait to see end product 💕
You are thoughtful, kind and caring. Your videos are such an encouragement to see the value in hard work and dedication. You have integrity and that is worth more than anything. You give me hope for humanity. Blessings to you and Kristina. I hope I spelled her name correctly. Kathy Jensen
Lovely work. I hope you will share with us the final result 💕
Wow, what a project! It's gonna be awesome! 💙 Merry Christmas to you both! ❄️🎄😇 Much love from the Hungarian countryside, Alexandra Victoria
Ahhhh!!! I can't wait to see it completed!
It is not easy living far away from everything but you make it look easy …… I continue to wish you the very best
Looks great Kalle!
Hello kalle, I have to say that I missed the renovation videos and lately you are doing several, I loved how you put the insulation in the area of the stairs, GOOD JOB, and this video has been very nice, you are a great man, your wife will be very happy, really thank you for sharing with us such quality of videos, Merry Christmas to you from France
What a lovely thing to do and looks amazing 👏 😍
Can't wait to see the full results.
What a wonderful surprise I'll look forward to the result
A very nice surprise and good job. Merry Christmas from Maine, USA.
Two of my favorite people!
That was cool I am definitely ready to see more.
I just found your channel and really enjoyed this video! Looking forward to seeing the work u do on your home. Thank u for sharing! :)
Hej fra Jylland! That is a gesture of love, more than words 🥰...it's important to have a cosy corner, we also have it, actually it is the official name of our place☺. Good work !! Generous and kind people ( well, like you) around when you need it, really appreciated nowadays. Kalle, thank you for this video, it looks great now, imagine later on, with all the finishing touches👍🏻👏🏻!
Excellent work! So much labor; and the floors looks fabulous. Perhaps a little railing in the loft to provide an illusion of safety to avoid falling to the hallway below? It does not have to be tall and can be designed to fold down in order to not interfere with a video screen. Of course you will not fall, but subliminally, it is always an issue of the mind. I would guess that Feng Shui rules discourage open, 3 meter cliffs along the edge of rooms made for relaxation (A-framed roofs are also imposing yet easily can be softened with shade painting, plants and/or apex tapestries). 💐Thank you for sharing your efforts.
That's a whole lot of sanding! So worth it though. Looks so good 😀
Great can't wait to see u both together. I hope u b together forever
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️ ♥️

What a wonderful surprise! Well done you! It will be such a cosy place. Will you put up a half railing up to where the stairs start? I'd be falling off at night haha!

nice, look into one of those upward projectors... some nice ones out there.
Looks great!
Love to see dedication in action. 'Fijne kerstdagen', as we would say in Dutch. or Merry christmas! Greetings from The Netherlands
Looks amazing
I can really relate to the feeling when you have spent a lot of time and effort and the wife comes home and does not see what you have done. :-) I totally cleaned the car, inside and outside. Super shiny, and the wife went to work with the car and did not noticed. (the last time I did that :-) )

Hi kalle, I think you should cover in the ceiling of your hall,make the floor space upstairs bigger,then you would have a nice big room😍 I’m always changing things around in my house.🇨🇮
Hej Kalle! Älskar hur du är en ambassadör för att flytta hit till höga kusten! För 2 år sedan köpte vi ett renoveringsobjekt i Kramfors. Kör också lite KZread men inte i din storlek. Vore kul att träffas över en kopp kaffe nån dag.
Looks good, Kalle. That upstairs room needs a railing around the opening to the entrance below. You might be able to integrate your movie screen into the railing...?? Just an idea. Good work.
Nice work Kalle! ✨✨🥰✨✨
