I love the light, airy, 'natural' colour curtains - so fresh, they look great in the room. The armoire is also beautiful, your patient work has really done wonders in restoring this lovely piece of furniture. Greetings from New Zealand.
Love those seashell curtain rod finials! That amazing hat box looks perfect on the wardrobe. What a pretty room it has turned out to be. Your guests will love it 🙂
I love what you have done with this room. The way you did the wardrobe has brought out its natural beauty and the little touches like the shells on the curtain rods look so special. 👋👌
The wardrobe looks beautiful in natural wood--good call. I love your inventiveness. It's okay to watch programs sometimes. This work is hard, and it will take a long time to do the whole house, so you need to protect yourself from burning out.
Patience is a virtue, and you are a very virtuous woman! I used to do this and I really have enjoyed watching you do it…lol. Everything looks great and you are doing wonderful.
Room beautiful!!! The plants on the windowsill are not the right kind of plants to put on a windowsill. One is a ficus which is actuall a tree and tends to becom very big.. I would recomend small jade pant which is a ducculant very surable and foes not requier lots of attention.
That's really wonderful! I hope it turns out great! Be sure to check out @gantelius_fonsterhantverk on instagram if you have it, he has many many tricks up his sleeve
Not sure why but this is the most calming renovation that I've ever watched. It might be because you are good at what you do. Also, you just get on with it. No time wasted. LOL or you don't add that part to the vids. Love the rooms.
Haha no I don't film myself taking breaks and laying on my couch but trust me I do that too. There are some things I struggle with to get on to do. It's usually because it's something I haven't done before and at the same time a bit boring/seem hard. So I might procrastinate for some time. But I also know if I don't do it, it won't get done. So at the end. It get on with it 😆 I try to think of my work as slow renovation as I don't want to take any short cuts if it means less quality. I am trying to do it sustainable and so it will last for generations 😃
Your room is lovely. I like the unpainted cupboard very much. What a lot of work to remove all the blue. And your ideas for the pillows are great. It will look very colorful. The seashells from Florida are called the Florida Fighting Conch. They are very common where I live in southwest Florida, on the Gulf coast. What a surprise to see them on a curtain rod in Sweden! Best wishes to you.
My aunt used to have a condo in Sanibel Island, so that makes a lot of sense :-) Florida Fighting Conch huh? Thanks for the info :-) Haha, yes well the world is smaller than you think ;-)
@@old_school_moaboa I live in Fort Myers. I used to have a home very near the causeway to Sanibel Island but it was destroyed in the hurricane two years ago. I used to love going out to the beaches on Sanibel-finding Florida Fighting Conch shells, and many others. Sadly, Sanibel has a lot of cleanup and rebuilding to do. Many beaches are still closed. Your collection of Fighting Conches are adult size. I don’t think they grow bigger, at least around Sanibel. They are thick, sturdy shells and have a beautiful shape. You found a good use for them.
WOW! Is there anything you can’t do? Your knowledge, ability and skills are amazing just like your restoration! Like you binged Yellowstone I just found your channel and have binged yours! Inspirational from a gramma from Ontario Canada ❤️
I have just found your channel and am enjoying the journey. Love the bedroom. So restful and calming. Great colour combination. Hello from South Australia.
Beautiful work throughout: you've done SO much restoration. I'm sure you've already considered it, but I would certainly recommend using a soft clear wax on the painted beds if the red pigment is still coming off. Not only would it protect the paint/bedding but would also make the painted wood safe from liquid spills. Sweden manufactures an excellent brand of soft wax sold elsewhere as 'Vinnies' (not sure what it's called in Sweden). You're amazing.
Your cat at 6:58 joined right in the moment when you said the room was so close to nature and you wanted to bring in some elements … spot on cat! 😻 Love all of what you do. I am a first hour subscriber, excited about every video you‘ve been posting, and I love the patience, precision and devotion you have for your old house. Thank you for taking us along the journey! Greetings from Berlin! 🙋🏼♀️
Haha, well that cat was a stray cat I took in last year in December when I found him starved and thin in my kitchen. It took three months before he allowed me to touch him and he hardly leaves my side. Thank you for subscribing and watching all my videos, it means a lot!
this bedroom just turned out to be so beautiful and cosi - you put in so much love to all the details and this is most inpiering. Thank you. The fabric for the pillows adds another unique thouch to the room. Frida Kahlo so nice to see. And, dear Moa, I love the soundtrack
I agree!! Settting the closet at an angle would show it off more beautifully and make it easier to access. It’s too wonderful not to show it more fully. What a perfect piece.
Mija, where are your safety goggles?????? You're going to need those pretty eyes for a lot more decades! NEVER risk your eyes when working with power tools.
Snyggt jobbat. Skruva på en mutter på skruven först sen skruvar du in den. Då kommer den fästa skåpet. Så slipper du kapa eller köpa en kortare skruv. Du kan lätt kapa skruven med en bågfil men sätt på en mutter först så att du kan fixa gängan när du skruvar av den.
Looks like someone did a sponge paint project on the antique wardrobe which is a shame, but great to see you unearth it's natural and original beauty. Beautiful hatbox. I really like what you've done with the decor so far, I agree with your ideas on the bed pillows and covers, they will be perfect.
Well I think it was recently made but made to look like an old technique, at least the auction company thought it was the original paint. Which is odd considering how many layers of paint there was.
What a lot of work but you are so dedicated to restoring the school to its former glory. I have watched you do jobs that a lot of men wouldn't tackle, well done. Cant wait to watch the next instalment . Take care and stay safe xx
Well done 🎉 It's now a lovely space for guests. A suggestion: the empty corner (where pampas grasses are attached to the wall) would be ideal for a suitcase rack (backpack or carry-on size), perhaps a repurposed coffee table, backed by a rod for hanging towels. Is there a mirror in the room, e.g. inside the wardrobe?
The large mirror is in the hallway. Might put one in here too, but for now that was the best place for it. And yes, I have one piano stool that would be perfect for suitcases. I have thought of it but it needs a makeover, it's now in the channy chic style. For now I am focusing the next room in the guest apartment so the guests can have a small kitchen, table and a sofa 😄
Beautiful work! It looks so airy and so clean. I would feel better if you wore safety glasses to protect your eyes when drilling, sawing, cutting metal or anything where pieces might fly around.
Ah yes, but then who is going to fix my house? 😉 no but I often rest in the evenings. It's harder to rest for longer periods and go out and be social and do fun things, it's something I have to do once the guest apartment is done (I need the income from this first)
The lighting is so dim that it's hard to see the colors as we should, so making comments would be inaccurate, but all in all it is a pleasing decor. One idea with the dried grass to paint it to saturation and then pressing it on the wall to transfer the shape in a color. More power!
Thats an interesting idea, might use that somehow I'm the future. Yeah, it was getting too dark and the light in here is not strong but needed to finish the vlog 🤷♀️
I am trying to not use plastic products (sealers often have acrylic conponents) but it shouldn't be a problem with eggoil tempera, it's more durable than you might think 😄 but yes I should wear my safely glasses when doing these jobs
You have good taste. Maybe you do not have to stick to the earthy colours in the bedroom. You could go with duvet covers or quilts of navy and white or go with a colour from the cushions or pillows.
The room is beautiful. But I was soo worried about you while you were cutting the metal brackets. You did so good wearing protection for your hearing. please, please , please wear protective goggles next time you are cutting metal... well cutting anything for that matter.
It's lime powder. I saw a craftsman use this and gave it a go, supposedly it makes the oil from the putty go away easier but I think the glass cleaner liquid does the trick good enough
This comment is a bit late, but a hot glue gun would have made the curtain rods a 5 minute job. Something to think about. I love the shells though! The room looks beautiful.
Where is your eye protection??? Metal in the eye is very hard to remove and painful!! I am a retired surgical trauma nurse. The beds are so beautiful!!!
Please wear safety glasses when cutting metal or anything for that matter. I've seen too many eye injuries even from experienced wood workers. All it takes is one splinter, one shard. one spark.

I love the fact that you have vision for the beauty of how it was and DONT give into trends. It turned out so beautifully and peaceful.
Random curtain tip my grandma learned me; next time you hang a pair; hang them wet in the fold you want! Stop ironing!
I love any no-ironing tips! Thank you 😊
Great job with the wardrobe. It compliments the room really well.
Thank you 😀 it was a lot of work but definetly worth it 😀
I love the light, airy, 'natural' colour curtains - so fresh, they look great in the room. The armoire is also beautiful, your patient work has really done wonders in restoring this lovely piece of furniture. Greetings from New Zealand.
Thanks :-) It felt like it took forever! But it made a huge difference in the room like this. The blue was such a clash
Choose curtains that fall to the floor

Your guest room is looking so good. I just watched it start to finish. Wow, your perseverance is admirable!
The room looks lovely. Great work.
Thank you 😄
Neutral on curtains is always best.
It certainly was in this case 😀
@@old_school_moaboa for sure.🙂
The room looks lovely. Your commitment to a sustainable restoration is admirable, well done!
Thank you very much 🫶🫶
I enjoy your commitment to detail. Your work is very relaxing. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I'm in Southern Italy.
I am so enjoying watching this home take shape. The yellow room is just beautiful
Thank you :-)

Your difficult room turned out beautifully!
I have been watching your videos. You are a seriously talented person.

@@old_school_moaboa Your Welcome! 😊
You have inspired me watching your application of the grasses. Really enjoy your channel!
That's great 😁
You could combine the two types of curtains and make shells finials on the end
I am using the yellow curtains now to make pillows 😁
The cabinet restoration looks great and that room is looking amazing! The hat box looks great up on top of the cabinet.
Thanks :-) Yeah I love the box
Love the wardrobe and the beautiful design features on it. You really are doing an amazing job, love watching you videos.
The bedroom looks lovely and you've done a wonderful job restoring the windows 👍❤️

I’m really impressed you would take this on yourself. Very impressive
It's such a beautiful clothet, I wouldn't set it against the wall, but set it a little crooked, so that it would come more to its right.😉
I agree!! Settting the closet at an angle would show it off more beautifully and make it easier to access. It’s too wonderful not to show it more fully. What a perfect piece.
Lovely, detailed, patient work on that piece of furniture. You did great!
Thank you :-)
Everything looks so great , you are doing such an amazing job on your home . Also I have to say I am loving the dry grass idea you put on the walls .

Snyggt jobbat.
Skruva på en mutter på skruven först sen skruvar du in den. Då kommer den fästa skåpet.
Så slipper du kapa eller köpa en kortare skruv.
Du kan lätt kapa skruven med en bågfil men sätt på en mutter först så att du kan fixa gängan när du skruvar av den.
Det ska jag testa! Så muttern "rätar" ut gängan efter man sågat och förstört spåret?

Beautiful work! It looks so airy and so clean. I would feel better if you wore safety glasses to protect your eyes when drilling, sawing, cutting metal or anything where pieces might fly around.
Thank you! I always do when I remember it, and always when I use the angle grinder but sometimes I also forget 😬
@old_school_moaboa I was concerned also, but I knew someone would kindly remind you 😊
Beautiful bedroom
Thank you 🙏
Where are your safety glasses???
The room is fabulous❤
Getting dusty in a drawer 😬 i tend to forget them sometimes. Thank you 😁
What music/artist/album is playing in your videos?
I LOVE YOUR RENOVATION PROJECT! YOU ARE SO INSPIRING!! 💫🫶🏼
Чудесный проект! Можно добавить ещё более лёгкие и воздушные занавески-тюль, будет очень красиво! Желаю вам сил и вдохновения!
Blir så fint! Jag både inspireras och imponeras av din noggrannhet och ditt tålamod!
Tack så mycket 😁

Really nice bedroom, calming atmosphere. 🐱
Thank you :-)
About the curtains, have you considered doing appliqué or random embroidery that would hide the spots but also have a style?
You could shorten the screw with a metalsaw, then it would fit.
You have good taste. Maybe you do not have to stick to the earthy colours in the bedroom. You could go with duvet covers or quilts of navy and white or go with a colour from the cushions or pillows.
Thank you 😀 you mean I could do with some accents?
The room is beautiful. But I was soo worried about you while you were cutting the metal brackets. You did so good wearing protection for your hearing. please, please , please wear protective goggles next time you are cutting metal... well cutting anything for that matter.
I'll try to remember next time 😉
Such a beautiful woman
In your last video, you sprinkled a powder on the glass to clean it. I am just wondering what it was?
It's lime powder. I saw a craftsman use this and gave it a go, supposedly it makes the oil from the putty go away easier but I think the glass cleaner liquid does the trick good enough
@@old_school_moaboa thanks so much!
Also love your music , who is it please?
I think you need a much bigger brush to paint your bedroom furniture.😆😂👍💐
This comment is a bit late, but a hot glue gun would have made the curtain rods a 5 minute job. Something to think about. I love the shells though! The room looks beautiful.
It always looks out of place when your drapes are short .. they should fall to the floor .. if you puddle them then 6 inches more on the floor
No puddling of the curtains, it is a dust catcher and bad for allergy sufferers.
Nice work...better to take off the dried things, not pretty, and you will get à, ot of dust on.
Where is your eye protection??? Metal in the eye is very hard to remove and painful!! I am a retired surgical trauma nurse. The beds are so beautiful!!!
