This is one of the best episodes of Homeworthy! Not only is the home very beautiful and interesting, but the homeowner is so great and has so many wonderful stories to tell. She and her home are about so much more than decorating. And Caroline’s flowers are stunning!
Absolutely! I strongly appreciate what you have been able to accomplish with this house. The house has so much soul and it seems newly created. That's the paradox!👏🏽
I am only 3/4 of the way through this episode but HAD to stop and express my complete enjoyment. Homeworthy…you will NEVER be able to top the impact this featured home is having on me!! Indescribable!!! Love the homeowner, her personality, style, taste, and especially her faith and authenticity!!!❤❤❤ Thank you so much!!!
@@jessicabriggs1852 Hi Jessica thank you for your kind comment! I dont have a channel, all my time right now is dedicated to the book that I am writing. 🥰 But who knows what’s next 🕊️🕊️🕊️ I have an Instagram Soulful Home.
Her story brought tears. Beautiful home...What a grateful, humble soul...."something to be said about delayed gratification". The goodness of God. Thanks so much for sharing.
Delayed Gratification is so very special to me, I always wanted instant gratification and still do sometimes. But the delay was a gift and one I will always cherish❤ I am learning how to wait now!
This was a really special episode. I always multi-task when I watch videos, but at a certain point, I stopped everything and just sat and listened to Solveig tell the story of her life with this house. This episode has soul, just like her house.
I think this is my favorite Homeworthy episode! Not only do I love the house & the decor, I love how much this woman loves this house. Her stories are sweet & genuine. I would love to be her neighbor, what a sweetheart ❤
This is one of the best episodes indeed. I love that she is so comfortable and confident in God that she can speak of Him as a loving parent and protector. Her home is filled with joy. Thank you Homeworthy for not editing what was said. You bring your guests' authenticity all the time.❤❤
I have watched every single HW episode but this one felt different. I don’t remember any particular wow item but the soul of this home came through in the beautiful way it was described by the homeowner. It was an absolute joy to tour this home with her. I wish that we all find this level of gratitude and sense of belonging in the place we call home.
I’m so touched by Solveigh’s Story of finding peace, love and soul In her beautifully refurbished home! she made me cry. I identified so much with her. I wish she could be my next-door neighbor. I wish she could be my friend. keep on keeping on in God’s will, Solveigh. !!! This crazy world needs more authentic people like you❤
This is my favorite HW episode. She is a beautiful soul! The house- the property- the view- the design- are absolutely beautiful- her story is beautiful and I feel like she is my soul sister- she makes me hopeful! Thank you for telling your story- absolutely heartwarming!
I love when someone takes an old home and breathes new life into it. And, the owner seems thrilled with every single element. I can listen to her tell all the great stories of the journey and it makes me so happy to hear. ❤ Wonderful!!!! 😊
I loved hearing her talk about her love for her home, family and most of all, her love for God! I enjoyed seeing the juxtaposition between the natural elements and the modern elements. Either one on their own can become predictable in interior design, but to mix the two made it feel fresh and individual. Well done!
What a blessing this was to watch and be reminded of God's love and grace! Thank you Soleig for speaking openly of your faith in God! Your home is warm and beautiful, such a comfortable nest! My favorite Homeworthy episode! May God continue to bless you and your family! christine in Oregon
I was also so impress with her discuss ing her faith in the almighty God. Truly I was blown away. Many are embarrassed to mention God but she didn’t shy away. You can clearly see that serving God is her & her husband lifestyle. I Love it💝
This is by far one of the most enjoyable Homeworthy videos. It feels as if we are really guests in her home and she is so likable and relatable and real and listening to her stories was so nice. I love the home- but more importantly i love the video because the feeling it gives me to watch it- which is warm and welcoming and comforting … It is videos like this-that make me want to keep watching Homeworthy… this woman is a treasure and so is her home. Thank you for allowing us in!
This is truly my favorite Homeworthy episode, I love that she loves the Lord and gives him the glory for leading her to the house where she feels at home. I feel like she is my friend! My dream is to find a cottage to make my own just like she has done. This story makes me SO happy!
Thanks Mrs. Tank for giving the glory to God. Your home is not eclectic but a beautiful pleasant, peaceful one. You make me wanted to be near you. Blessed
@@solveigtank9154 Thank you Ms Solveig you just rekindled some things in me. Thank you for being a courageous solider for the Lord. God bless you & your family 💝
This wonderful home, homeowner and video is a testament to the power of HOME. As Solveig said, "It is our sanctuary." And I have to further add: Home shelters our souls. Thank you for this special content.
I agree with the last comment. This is one of the best episodes of Homeworthy! I especially love Solveig's kitchen with the antique cabinet and baking area. This whole home is just perfect.
This house is white done right. She's got just the right amount of touches of colour and textures that ties everything together, while keeping things interesting, and very cozy looking. Love this space. Absolutely beautiful!
Usually I need a lot more color, but I really like her home. She made up for the lack of color with great use of textures. And I know what she means about "connecting" to a place on a spiritual level. I too have walked into a place that said to my soul, "You're home."🥰 And I love her testimony!
Solveig is so down to earth and charming..Her home and garden are beautiful..My favorite parts of the tour is when she talks about her house giving her a feeling, that she felt a connection, that it had soul, and that she immediately felt at home..Such words of wisdom from a lovely lady.
What a great story of how the Lord brought this home to her and how she knew it would 'just in case' be her home one day. Thankfully her husband was a good man and on board with her dream. The home is lovely and designed with every beat of her heart. I loved this video/home
This is a really, beautiful home and they did a great job restoring it! She was without a doubt meant to be the new caretaker of this classic cottage and God planned all for her. I had a similar experience as I lived away from my home in CT for 32 years and dreamed of going back. We looked at 36 homes and I could not find what I wanted. When we stepped into the home we live in at this time, I knew it was meant. I felt the soul of the home and knew it was to be our’s. It still has projects to do but we feel blessed to be here. The appt. to view this home was a last minute decision as we were leaving back to NY the next day and it had just come on the market. I wish them many years of peace and blessings in their home!❤😊
I can so relate to this woman’s feelings about her home. I too had that experience when I walked into my house that has now been my home for 30 years. God bless her.
The homeowner has such grace and a humble, beautiful spirit about her. So thankful God restored her joy and gave her new life as she gave this home new life. I love everything about her home. How light and airy but warm it is. Definitely soul-filled. Praying the peace of God, and JOY remain in her home always. Thanks for sharing Homeworthy. One of my favs for sure!❤
Finally someone talking about how to take care of light colored sofas. = slipcovers. The concept of having furniture with a dual purpose such as a sofa and a twin bed is so practical. Thank you.
I just love her, her story and her house . I had a moment of tears as she told her story about the connection to this house. Having recently and downsized, her story really touched me. Plus the house is amazing! Thank you for sharing everything, Solveig, you made me laugh and cry. ❤❤❤
THIS right here has Blessed me at a time that I needed more than I can explain. This Lady is truly an Angel of on time. WOW! THANKS for allowing her to be who she is. What a Blessing. That moment that she took to sit down and explain was the Aw Ha moment. Thank you again 😊
Absolutely LOVEed Home! Knowing how this family came by this home is endearing and so meaningful. The heart of the Home is definitely the connection we should have with our homes. To take a house and turn it into their home is what true ownership is all about. They scraped, painted, prayed and put heart and soul into their home. That is the true essence of what makes a house a HOME. THIS episode is HOMEWORTHY !! xoxo Bren from the Golden Isles of GA USA.
So happy to have a home tour in my area of the state!! This woman is an absolute delight! Her story gave me chills. This house waited for her to give it life and in turn it gave her life!! So beautiful!!
Her story touches my spirit as I too have similar faith in that God gives us the desires of our heart. So thrilled for Solveig's journey and how she and her husband brought this lovely cottage to life again. Praying for myself to "find home" and be granted the desires of my heart as well. Thankful and grateful for this inspiration.
Thank you so much much for your kind comments. When we pull in close and begin to truly reverence and honor God, our desires change from our own desires to those that please God. When we do this God then will grant the desires of our heart!❤❤❤
She has poured her heart into it, with her husband’s help, and it shows. Loved hearing all the tales. When she was talking about craning in a mattress, I thought, if there is a next time, get a shrink wrapped bed in a box. The box will fit right up the stairs. I have three of them and I will never go back to the legacy mattress types ever again. They are more comfortable at less than half the price. They are dense foam with a memory foam top of varying thickness depending on your preference.
@@rickgonzalez1218 No, I don’t find them to be hot and I live in Hawaii. The best thing is you never have any pressure points, or permanent low spots in your mattress. To me, it seems like it is the sheets that make the difference in sleeping temp. I use natural fiber ones like linen, cotton and bamboo.
Favorite so far of Homeworthy. Loved it when she talked about her photos being her art. She and the house brought each other back to life. The Lord really does work in mysterious ways. Thank you for sharing. Julia
Oh my, 10 stars here! I LOVED her spirit and a praying woman. I loved how she shared so many wonderful stories about her home, her family and her journey. I loved how she sat down and had an intimate moment with us telling us about her 30-year journey to the house. I'm sure that was the Holy Spirit telling her "just in case." No one but God could have made this happen for her. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some history buried in the house that connects one of her relatives from years ago. This was such an encouraging and welcoming home tour! Thank you Mrs. Solveig and Homeworthy.
Thank you for such a kind comment! Yes I do believe it was the Holy Spirit too! It was an amazing time! I felt surrounded by God Grace for those 2 years! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
I normally save my homeworthy shows for Saturday and Sunday, but I watched this last night. And I don't know if a house can heal, but somewhere between God and the house, I believe it took place. I do know this is now my favorite episode! This inspired me SPIRITUALLY, and I felt like I connected with her spirit. I was born in March also and was so moved by your faith and your husband's willingness to indulge in this adventure. ❤❤❤❤❤ MAY GOD CONTINUOUSLY BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! God did an amazing job restoring me in the process! He is so good and loves his children through thick and thin for sure! ❤❤❤
She has such a sweet story & full of memories. Her home is so loved & cozy. I could just listen to her stories all day. What a fun episode. Thanks home worthy. This is a favorite ❤️
Loved to hear your story and you included God and the Bible ❤ Your home has a soul I can feel it just watching. Joy❤. I know how you feel. I also lost my Joy. My home brought back my Joy too. 🙏 thank you for sharing.
To the HOMEOWNER: You have no idea how much you have inspired me. There is not such a thing ii desire more than having my own place. I owned a house 18 years ago but due to my depression I lost it. I WILL START PRAYING AGAIN. Two years ago I almost died of Covid and started giving up on my dreams and my idea of having my own place. Thanks for sharing your story. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I had to pause and check comments to see if anyone else was bawling when she told the story. Mine is similar. I’m one year into living in my soul house, and I hope I never lose the magical feeling that connects me to this place. Thank you for this episode, it is truly special. ❤
What amazing energy she has, and such a lovely attitude towards home. She is so lucky to have found this special place and I think the home feels lucky she found it as well.
This made me incredibly emotional and has spoke to me so much. An immensely beautiful home - but the story was spiritual to me. Going through an incredibly hard time and this gives me hope. Thank you 💜
I love what you’ve done and I do know that when something is for you, it’s for you! It was in God’s timing and He showed you the light at the end of your storm! I’m so glad that you were obedient because God showed you how joy will come in the morning 😊
This was much more than a house tour for me. Solveig Tang has inspired me so much today. I appreciate her candor and open heart. Truly a great story and beautiful home. ❤❤❤
I feel like I've just met a kindred spirit. Hearing your belief in God and listening to that "knowing" that is too often ignored made me feel joy. And what you did with this unique home is absolutely incredible. The framed wallboard with the builders shared birth date, and the 30 year time span can't be a coincidence, it's a God thing, allowing you to move on from sadness to a purpose doing what you love--rescuing the house and design. Your description of driving past your home, often, and your grandchildren doing that combination eye-roll and groan made me laugh. But of everything you shared, it is the happiness it gives you that shines through! So thank you for sharing your home with us viewers, and for detailing the many improvements you made. This is by far my favorite home tour ever! As for kindred spirits, I found my fixer-upper on a mountain side, small, in desperate need of TLC, and not enough bedrooms for times when my four grown children and grandchildren come to visit. But it was home from the moment I stepped through the door and I bought it on the spot. As my sister-in-law and I drove away after the paperwork, I asked her "Do you recall seeing a heating system, or closets?" she shook her head in the negative. "What about a bathtub?" I asked. "There was a tub" was her answer. None of it mattered, because it was that feeling that it's were I belonged. I've lived here for 15 years and this land and the cottage is far more precious to me than several of the "grand" homes I've owned over the years. It has allowed me to retire and write in peace, which was always my dream. Now there are an additional four cabins on this property, one for each of my children and their children, closets, and designed in a way that makes me smile on my way to the kitchen for that first cup of coffee. However, the heating system has been ignored--there is a wood stove : )
Oh your story is wonderful to! When you recognize Gods hand in something there is really no denying it! And what a beautiful thing it is once you have walked out a true journey with God!! When you know, you just know! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Solveig, I think we are twins separated at birth!! 🥰🥰 I loved every second of your home, your tour, but most of all the story of your journey of faith that came with your beautiful home! Even before you said it, I thought 'her house healed her.' Agree 100% that the Lord does care about the desires of our heart and so glad to see you blessed with yours! 🥰🥰 Homeworthy, thank you so much for this -- my new hands-down favorite episode! 🤩🤩
Love this home. It's beautiful inside and out, and it's welcoming. Everything is in its right place and harmoniously placed. It has no clutter. It gives one a sense of peace and tranquility. Its beauty is timeless.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a fantastic episode🩷! It is exactly what I needed to hear today, especially when Solveig spoke about finally finding a house that spoke to her soul & how she listened to the message(s) that were being whispered to her spirit! That is truly one of the most comforting & inspiring stories I've ever heard & I can relate to her experience. What a dream come true. I'm grateful that you share this unique & healing story! Thank you again, Solveig Tank & Homeworthy!
I enjoyed this episode immensely! It's definitely one of the best tours. Not only was the home beautiful, but the host was wonderful. I loved her stories about her home and how she spoke about the Lord. ❤
It was funny listening to her story of seeing the house for the first time- because for me it was my husband who fell in love with our house and I realized when dragged me to see it that he was going to buy it, no matter what. And he was right, we have been so happy here and now I love my house.
What a beautiful home and the people who own it! You truly can feel the peace of God flowing through the airwaves. I enjoyed listening to the story behind it too, it was meant for you and youe family indeed.
Solveig, I wanted to leave a comment here, to let you know how much I loved this episode. I, too, felt like God led me to my home. I remember, it had all the things I wanted in a house, but it was overall, more than I thought I would ever have. It had been recently renovated, so there was no work to do here. Plus things had been added that no other home had in the area, including a gorgeous covered porch in the back which was essential for sitting outside.There was a very good spirit in this place, and I remembered thinking of the phrase, I have many mansions and I go to prepare a place for you. I felt this home was prepared for us. Another person was going to purchase the home, but his financing fell through because he didnt pay his car loan on time. It really felt like a gift. While I was watching this episode, I was reminded of Gods gift to me. The first time I watched I fast forwarded it, but God told me to go back and watch what I missed. I really cried when I heard you describe your story. I have been having some struggles and not really realizing how sad I was feeling. God told me I have wonderful blessings for you ahead. I was overwhelmed. Thank you for being one of his willing hands to bring good things to others. I love the hebrew over the door in your home. You are a lovely person.
If you know you know. And she knew this was her home. This happened to me when we downsized to a smaller home. I just knew it was meant to be before I got out of the car. How amazing the world works. It was a journey. And I love it ❤
I never comment on videos but this home tour deserves one. This has to be my favorite episode and I have watched so many Homeworthy episodes. Solveig has so much soul alongside her house. My thought while watching this was, “I wish this was my grandmother’s house.” How whimsical and lovely it must be for children and adults alike to spend time there. It feels like something out of a movie or book. Thank you for sharing!
I've watched lots of home worthy episodes, but this one is over the top! From the time I started watching this episode " soulful cottage" I knew this lady was not only connected to the house but to God! I simply loved her honesty and vulnerability to be open to share her heart with viewers. God bless you my sister, you have inspired me to pray more and to trust God in all things. God knows our hearts desire and exactly what we need and when we need it. God hears and answers prayers!
My favorite episode! She was just such a beautiful lady with a beautiful home. Sometimes the homeowners seem very pretentious, not an ounce in this one! She gave all glory to God for her home. Such a great refreshing episode!
I certainly understand Solveig!!! What a beautiful awesome story!!! I love it!!! I love a small cozy home!! I always say when I walk in my front door, I feel a warm hug around me! I fully understand Solveig's contentment! So happy for Solveig!! :)
I am so happy for you that you decided to buy this house. I grew up in Ventnor heights and like to visit Mays Landing often. I feel the same way about a house with "soul". God knew you belonged there.
This is not a coincidence… This is a Godincidence that I am watching this video❤️🙏 I am now buying a home in the same area by the River, and I am in the same season of life with all of the same emotions and feelings. When we found our house We walked in and felt a rush of warmth and contentment. It was truly a blessing from God. We will be taking walks around the neighborhood if it’s God plan we can say a friendly hello 😊 sending love and blessings ❤️🙏
This is one of the best episodes of Homeworthy! Not only is the home very beautiful and interesting, but the homeowner is so great and has so many wonderful stories to tell. She and her home are about so much more than decorating. And Caroline’s flowers are stunning!
This is one of my favorite episodes, too! ❤
I love this episode so much!💕💕I feel like this is myself🩷
If only you could be blessed enough to know her personally, truly an angel on earth!

She had me at "I come out here to pray and read my bible" Love this
Same here 😊.

Me too! I've been trying to figure out the Hebrew lettering above the porch entry. If anyone knows it, please share. Thank you!
Yes!
Me too, I was drawn to her, the moment she said that.

Beautiful home! Her soulful story about finally “being home” brought tears to my eyes.
Yes!!!
Yes indeed!
Thank you ❤❤
I don't know which I love more: this house or the home owner. I think the home owner. How she loves her house so much, it was honestly so sweet.
I loved hearing her talk about her love for her home, family and most of all, her love for God!
I enjoyed seeing the juxtaposition between the natural elements and the modern elements. Either one on their own can become predictable in interior design, but to mix the two made it feel fresh and individual. Well done!
I can totally relate to her connection she had driving by and knowing this would be her home and saving grace. Her home speaks to her soul. Gorgeous.
As a lonely widow I found her story and cottage very hopeful and inspiring. 🏡💝
Me too. I lost my dear Cameron almost a year ago. She gives me hope.
🏡I LOVE SMALL NORMAL HOUSES like this ONE! I think they are more welcoming, with SOUL & LIVED!♥️

I can so relate to this woman’s feelings about her home.

I just love her, her story and her house . I had a moment of tears as she told her story about the connection to this house. Having recently and downsized, her story really touched me. Plus the house is amazing! Thank you for sharing everything, Solveig, you made me laugh and cry. ❤❤❤
My favorite episode of all! I love this woman. Love
this house.
THIS right here has Blessed me at a time that I needed more than I can explain.
This Lady is truly an Angel of on time.
WOW!
THANKS for allowing her to be who she is. What a Blessing.
That moment that she took to sit down and explain was the Aw Ha moment.
Thank you again 😊
Thank you so much for your sweet comment❤❤
One of my favorite episodes ever! Precious home owner! Loved her stories and her style. So blessed by her.
Absolutely LOVEed Home! Knowing how this family came by this home is endearing and so meaningful. The heart of the Home is definitely the connection we should have with our homes. To take a house and turn it into their home is what true ownership is all about. They scraped, painted, prayed and put heart and soul into their home. That is the true essence of what makes a house a HOME. THIS episode is HOMEWORTHY !! xoxo Bren from the Golden Isles of GA USA.
So happy to have a home tour in my area of the state!! This woman is an absolute delight! Her story gave me chills. This house waited for her to give it life and in turn it gave her life!! So beautiful!!
This is my absolute favorite segment. I love her story and her home. She touched my heart.
Your home, your stories, your faith have touched my soul. Thank you
What a story. So good that she stuck with her feelings and listened so deeply to her inner voice. So enjoyed this one!
Thank you! It certainly was a journey! ❤
Her story touches my spirit as I too have similar faith in that God gives us the desires of our heart. So thrilled for Solveig's journey and how she and her husband brought this lovely cottage to life again. Praying for myself to "find home" and be granted the desires of my heart as well. Thankful and grateful for this inspiration.
Same.
Thank you so much much for your kind comments. When we pull in close and begin to truly reverence and honor God, our desires change from our own desires to those that please God. When we do this God then will grant the desires of our heart!❤❤❤
Oh I had goosebumps listening to her story. So God. So His care and love for us. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you❤
She has poured her heart into it, with her husband’s help, and it shows. Loved hearing all the tales. When she was talking about craning in a mattress, I thought, if there is a next time, get a shrink wrapped bed in a box. The box will fit right up the stairs. I have three of them and I will never go back to the legacy mattress types ever again. They are more comfortable at less than half the price. They are dense foam with a memory foam top of varying thickness depending on your preference.
Deb here. Hi. I have been thinking about a new mattress but was wondering if the ones in the boxes are hot to sleep on?
@@rickgonzalez1218 No, I don’t find them to be hot and I live in Hawaii. The best thing is you never have any pressure points, or permanent low spots in your mattress. To me, it seems like it is the sheets that make the difference in sleeping temp. I use natural fiber ones like linen, cotton and bamboo.
Favorite so far of Homeworthy. Loved it when she talked about her photos being her art. She and the house brought each other back to life. The Lord really does work in mysterious ways. Thank you for sharing. Julia
This is a beautiful home with such a special story. So inspiring. One of my favorites so far.
This woman is amazing and so creative. To be willing to remake a house to suit their needs was truly genius and a labor of love.
Oh my, 10 stars here! I LOVED her spirit and a praying woman. I loved how she shared so many wonderful stories about her home, her family and her journey. I loved how she sat down and had an intimate moment with us telling us about her 30-year journey to the house. I'm sure that was the Holy Spirit telling her "just in case." No one but God could have made this happen for her. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some history buried in the house that connects one of her relatives from years ago. This was such an encouraging and welcoming home tour! Thank you Mrs. Solveig and Homeworthy.
Thank you for such a kind comment! Yes I do believe it was the Holy Spirit too! It was an amazing time! I felt surrounded by God Grace for those 2 years! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
This is just beautiful and full of character. She has mastered layering in so much depth and richness with a palette of mostly neutrals/whites.
I normally save my homeworthy shows for Saturday and Sunday, but I watched this last night. And I don't know if a house can heal, but somewhere between God and the house, I believe it took place. I do know this is now my favorite episode! This inspired me SPIRITUALLY, and I felt like I connected with her spirit. I was born in March also and was so moved by your faith and your husband's willingness to indulge in this adventure. ❤❤❤❤❤ MAY GOD CONTINUOUSLY BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! God did an amazing job restoring me in the process! He is so good and loves his children through thick and thin for sure! ❤❤❤
Would love to meet Solveig. Seems so genuine and down to earth and a home that exudes that same feeling. One of my most favorite episodes!
Awe you’re sweet! Thank you ❤️🌞❤️
She has such a sweet story & full of memories. Her home is so loved & cozy. I could just listen to her stories all day. What a fun episode. Thanks home worthy. This is a favorite ❤️
Awe thank you! You are so sweet!❤🕊️🌺
Loved to hear your story and you included God and the Bible ❤
Your home has a soul I can feel it just watching.
Joy❤. I know how you feel.
I also lost my Joy. My home brought back my Joy too.
🙏 thank you for sharing.
To the HOMEOWNER: You have no idea how much you have inspired me. There is not such a thing ii desire more than having my own place. I owned a house 18 years ago but due to my depression I lost it. I WILL START PRAYING AGAIN. Two years ago I almost died of Covid and started giving up on my dreams and my idea of having my own place. Thanks for sharing your story. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I had to pause and check comments to see if anyone else was bawling when she told the story. Mine is similar. I’m one year into living in my soul house, and I hope I never lose the magical feeling that connects me to this place. Thank you for this episode, it is truly special. ❤
What amazing energy she has, and such a lovely attitude towards home. She is so lucky to have found this special place and I think the home feels lucky she found it as well.
This made me incredibly emotional and has spoke to me so much. An immensely beautiful home - but the story was spiritual to me. Going through an incredibly hard time and this gives me hope. Thank you 💜
My favorite episode!!! Loved this woman and her amazing spirit
A beautiful and interesting story about the house. So nice and bright. I am glad that another old house has been saved. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love what you’ve done and I do know that when something is for you, it’s for you! It was in God’s timing and He showed you the light at the end of your storm! I’m so glad that you were obedient because God showed you how joy will come in the morning 😊
Amen, beautifully stated. Julie 🌷
Love this house, the owner, and her stories! My favorite Homeworthy episode yet! 💙
This episode was incredible! The home is AMAZING, and the owner is really pleasant and interesting! Thank you for this wonderful tour! ❤
This was much more than a house tour for me. Solveig Tang has inspired me so much today. I appreciate her candor and open heart. Truly a great story and beautiful home. ❤❤❤
What a delightful, delightful woman. I could listen to her stories all day. Oh, and the house is great !
I feel like I've just met a kindred spirit. Hearing your belief in God and listening to that "knowing" that is too often ignored made me feel joy. And what you did with this unique home is absolutely incredible. The framed wallboard with the builders shared birth date, and the 30 year time span can't be a coincidence, it's a God thing, allowing you to move on from sadness to a purpose doing what you love--rescuing the house and design.
Your description of driving past your home, often, and your grandchildren doing that combination eye-roll and groan made me laugh. But of everything you shared, it is the happiness it gives you that shines through! So thank you for sharing your home with us viewers, and for detailing the many improvements you made. This is by far my favorite home tour ever!
As for kindred spirits, I found my fixer-upper on a mountain side, small, in desperate need of TLC, and not enough bedrooms for times when my four grown children and grandchildren come to visit. But it was home from the moment I stepped through the door and I bought it on the spot.
As my sister-in-law and I drove away after the paperwork, I asked her "Do you recall seeing a heating system, or closets?" she shook her head in the negative. "What about a bathtub?" I asked. "There was a tub" was her answer. None of it mattered, because it was that feeling that it's were I belonged.
I've lived here for 15 years and this land and the cottage is far more precious to me than several of the "grand" homes I've owned over the years. It has allowed me to retire and write in peace, which was always my dream. Now there are an additional four cabins on this property, one for each of my children and their children, closets, and designed in a way that makes me smile on my way to the kitchen for that first cup of coffee. However, the heating system has been ignored--there is a wood stove : )
Oh your story is wonderful to! When you recognize Gods hand in something there is really no denying it! And what a beautiful thing it is once you have walked out a true journey with God!! When you know, you just know! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Solveig, I think we are twins separated at birth!! 🥰🥰 I loved every second of your home, your tour, but most of all the story of your journey of faith that came with your beautiful home! Even before you said it, I thought 'her house healed her.' Agree 100% that the Lord does care about the desires of our heart and so glad to see you blessed with yours! 🥰🥰 Homeworthy, thank you so much for this -- my new hands-down favorite episode! 🤩🤩
Love this home. It's beautiful inside and out, and it's welcoming. Everything is in its right place and harmoniously placed. It has no clutter. It gives one a sense of peace and tranquility. Its beauty is timeless.
This lady is so SOUTH JERSEY!!! Her accent and her “dramatic” stories make me miss HOME 🥹🥹
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a fantastic episode🩷!
It is exactly what I needed to hear today, especially when Solveig spoke about finally finding a house that spoke to her soul & how she listened to the message(s) that were being whispered to her spirit! That is truly one of the most comforting & inspiring stories I've ever heard & I can relate to her experience. What a dream come true. I'm grateful that you share this unique & healing story!
Thank you again, Solveig Tank & Homeworthy!
Thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment! 🕊️🕊️❤️🕊️🌸
Wow what a beautiful story! I was crying. This lady is so nice and beautiful! Love her home! ❤
Admire how you rested in God's will for the right house ❤
It was a hard lesson learned through a few mistakes!
I enjoyed this episode immensely! It's definitely one of the best tours. Not only was the home beautiful, but the host was wonderful. I loved her stories about her home and how she spoke about the Lord. ❤
🕊️🕊️❤️
It was funny listening to her story of seeing the house for the first time- because for me it was my husband who fell in love with our house and I realized when dragged me to see it that he was going to buy it, no matter what. And he was right, we have been so happy here and now I love my house.
What a lovely episode!
What a beautiful home and the people who own it! You truly can feel the peace of God flowing through the airwaves. I enjoyed listening to the story behind it too, it was meant for you and youe family indeed.
Thank you for watching!🕊️❤️
Solveig, I wanted to leave a comment here, to let you know how much I loved this episode. I, too, felt like God led me to my home. I remember, it had all the things I wanted in a house, but it was overall, more than I thought I would ever have. It had been recently renovated, so there was no work to do here. Plus things had been added that no other home had in the area, including a gorgeous covered porch in the back which was essential for sitting outside.There was a very good spirit in this place, and I remembered thinking of the phrase, I have many mansions and I go to prepare a place for you. I felt this home was prepared for us. Another person was going to purchase the home, but his financing fell through because he didnt pay his car loan on time. It really felt like a gift. While I was watching this episode, I was reminded of Gods gift to me. The first time I watched I fast forwarded it, but God told me to go back and watch what I missed. I really cried when I heard you describe your story. I have been having some struggles and not really realizing how sad I was feeling. God told me I have wonderful blessings for you ahead. I was overwhelmed. Thank you for being one of his willing hands to bring good things to others. I love the hebrew over the door in your home. You are a lovely person.
Awe, Thank you!! God is so very good and he takes care of his own…Always!🕊️🕊️🕊️
Why did this episode make me cry? I too am searching for HOME. What a beautiful lady, who was meant to save this house.
Awe! 🥰
If you know you know. And she knew this was her home. This happened to me when we downsized to a smaller home. I just knew it was meant to be before I got out of the car. How amazing the world works. It was a journey. And I love it ❤
I never comment on videos but this home tour deserves one. This has to be my favorite episode and I have watched so many Homeworthy episodes. Solveig has so much soul alongside her house. My thought while watching this was, “I wish this was my grandmother’s house.” How whimsical and lovely it must be for children and adults alike to spend time there. It feels like something out of a movie or book. Thank you for sharing!
Awe thank you so much for your kind comments! 🥰🥰🥰
LOVE! ...this lady and her stories and her home. Lovely.
I've watched lots of home worthy episodes, but this one is over the top! From the time I started watching this episode " soulful cottage" I knew this lady was not only connected to the house but to God! I simply loved her honesty and vulnerability to be open to share her heart with viewers. God bless you my sister, you have inspired me to pray more and to trust God in all things. God knows our hearts desire and exactly what we need and when we need it. God hears and answers prayers!
Yes he does, and he is always faithful but 😅 of course it is never in our time!! Thank you for watching!!
My favorite episode! She was just such a beautiful lady with a beautiful home. Sometimes the homeowners seem very pretentious, not an ounce in this one! She gave all glory to God for her home. Such a great refreshing episode!
I love the story! Yes a house has to have soul.
Omg her plate wall is spectacular
I certainly understand Solveig!!! What a beautiful awesome story!!! I love it!!! I love a small cozy home!! I always say when I walk in my front door, I feel a warm hug around me! I fully understand Solveig's contentment! So happy for Solveig!! :)
I am so happy for you that you decided to buy this house. I grew up in Ventnor heights and like to visit Mays Landing often. I feel the same way about a house with "soul". God knew you belonged there.
This is not a coincidence… This is a Godincidence that I am watching this video❤️🙏 I am now buying a home in the same area by the River, and I am in the same season of life with all of the same emotions and feelings. When we found our house We walked in and felt a rush of warmth and contentment. It was truly a blessing from God. We will be taking walks around the neighborhood if it’s God plan we can say a friendly hello 😊 sending love and blessings ❤️🙏
Well that is just wonderful! God Bless you! You will just love it I am sure! Please stop by and say hi and let me know what house you have bought!
@@solveigtank9154 you must pass it every day the corner on north❤️
Lovely. So much hard work, attention to detail, perserverance, dedication, faith. A journey. Thank you so very much.
Oh Solveig, you are so on track! I also love that simple prayer of 'Thy will be done'! Love your beautiful home and wonderful outlook!
Love it! What a beauty of a home and location. Thank you Homeworthy!
Absolutely adore this homeowner and her home!!!! One of my absolute favorite episode s!
Thank you 🥰
Such lovely stories. Finding a house that feels like it was meant for you. Love homeworthy
I'm not sure who or what I love more. This adorable woman and her charming stories, or this beautiful, storybook cottage.
