Full CABIN TOUR of our Svalbard home after $300k renovation | Life in the World's Northernmost Town

It's beautiful we took out all the furniture before there were like two chairs here we moved them because we like them a lot and we use a lot of furniture in different rooms but we also took everything out of here we bought a new sofa a new table new chairs and without a doubt this is one of my favorite rooms throughout the house now look at these butterfly chairs, I love them so much here we have the wood stove like before the only thing we did here was change the plate before we had a glass plate now we have this beautiful black plate oh no as you can see, gloomy There, he gets his food on the step, which he really likes because it's easy to access and he doesn't have to walk on the floor. which apparently is still scary and you've seen this space this is my office it used to be our kitchen which is a little crazy now that we've taken it out so we have space here for cooking and as a refrigerator and everything but it became in the perfect office, barn doors will be put in because I feel like it's still necessary to be able to isolate him from the house so if Christopher is

home

and I'm working we can just separate so no No so we're not in each other's business , so we can be, you know, so I can work and he can cook and it's just a nice way to make it a little more private, but I love it, I think it's the perfect space. so I can work oh this is brilliant okay this is exciting just a second to move.

I feel like I say the word exciting a lot in this

tour

of the house, but it's because everything is so exciting, so this was before our room and we immediately realized it. We needed a TV room, especially during the midnight sun season and you can't watch anything in that room, so we thought this could be the perfect space if we have someone staying over and you just want to come in here and that's it. Do you know how to read. a book, watching TV, just getting out of the midnight sun because this is the only room we can darken properly.

I think we need to buy more blackout curtains for other rooms but we bought this daybed and to be honest it looks a lot better than how comfortable it is because since we use it as a sofa we need cushions for the back but I've been looking around the ikea website and there are some good cushions that I can buy, but also the shipping. This is crazy, but it's very nice, like the atmosphere again. We also need to put some things in, but we don't rush with the decorative version or like the decorative side of this.

We're not just going to put up decorations. because we're going to wait and see what we really want and also the nice thing about this room is that I'm going to use this to work out, so we have some weights and stuff and this table that we had before and it's so good because what What we can do is just put it together and put it aside here and I have room to work, which I think will be great, especially during the polar night season when you know you might not be able to go out.

home

for a few days because there's a storm or because they've closed the gym so I really like this room so it's definitely a room that's going to be well used and if people come to visit us they can stay here because it's actually Double room.

The bed may not be the most comfortable, but it is a double bed. Okay, let's go to the last three rooms. That's all we have left. Do you recognize this room? Probably not because this is where we had our hallway before this was the main entrance before we built a new one. one of there what we did here was change the door because the other door, although we liked the porthole window, but it was blue and it was a little broken, it was a little wobbly and stuff, so we got a new door that it matches the whole house and the environment and I think it's cool that it's black and we can still look out and see what's doing gloomy out there and then we turned this room into Christopher's closet because I just wanted to have our bedroom without anything in it and I wanted , I just wanted to get rid of it, the things that we lived in before in our things, so I thought, how about we turn this into a storage area for clothes and things because then we don't have to have it in all the other rooms and it's It's also why we decided not to make this bedroom bigger because instead we wanted all this space, but in the future we could change this and it's also why we just felt like we would do the same. better with what we have now, so this is Christopher's closet.

I really like these from ikea and I try to buy more for my closet here, but they don't have anything. Everything is sold out. We also changed the light again. philips hue, so everything is on the same system and also to have a little bit more lighting in here, I think it works really well, I feel like it's a good room, I think I'll still get in and out of here and I think in the winter , when we go snowmobiling and stuff, we could use this as our, what's it called, there's a word for it in English, mud room, ha, that's what I want, I think it's mud room, yeah, but yeah It's mud room, that's what we'll do.

I used this but now let's go into my dressing room. It's very, very small, but look, this was our bathroom before we turned it into my closet and I've never been more excited. I've never had a closet like this. I'm going to change this big black shelf for the same system as this one because it's amazing and very good and also cheap from Ikea, but again they didn't have them in stock so I'll have to have it like this. this right now is good so yeah that's actually my wardrobe every once in a while we have the last room the board our storage room which is still

full

but it's a lot better now because now we have everything in one kind of order, there's a lot of the things that come out of here are like this, so right now we just push things here, this is actually the only room where we don't change the wall color, we don't paint here, we paint everything the rest of the same white as the other. one, but here we just feel like no, there's just no reason because it's still just a storage room and no, it can just look like this for now, if we decide to do something else here in the future, maybe we'll do this in one. bedroom or something, then we'll do something different with it, but now we just have all our stuff in here, like GPS's, we have these little CD racks, I think that's what they were used for before, but now we just put all our little stuff in there beacon from avalanche you know we have shoes it's a good room although I think it's pretty organized so that's this room again philips hue I broke that lamp though I need to buy a new one this is our new house now and It feels crazy, it doesn't even feel real because we know we've been making this build for so long, so when it's actually finished it's a little crazy in a way, but we're really happy about it.

I'm going to make more videos about this because it seems like we're never going to finish properly because there's always something you know how to do or fix, but I feel like we're getting closer to something finished, we just have to do it. get the water going and fix all these little things like the electricity and change some knobs and tune up the place also all our blinds that are a little crooked, they're not supposed to be up but they're not We don't have anything else, we've ordered them too, but everything takes a while to get here, so they're going to have to be crooked and blind, so we don't even have two on the windows, so it's a little bit, you know we're.

We're kind of in the middle of this, so that was the

tour

of the house. I can't believe we're done already. It feels a little unreal when I walk, when I go, you know, I get up in the morning and I sit down. in our new kitchen and I wonder, when did this happen? It feels like a few months ago, well a few months ago we didn't have this, but we're so happy that it's finally finished and oh boy, it's a lot harder to live in construction like when you live where they're building. It's much harder than I thought.

I thought it would be a lot more relaxed, but I think also in the end you're getting too close to It's that you start to get impatient and then it gets even worse, but yeah, it's so nice to have all this space, the

cabin

is twice as big now, that's crazy so if you enjoyed this video maybe subscribe if you want. Do you receive notifications when I publish? In fact, I'm going to Portugal on Saturday. I'm not sure when I'm going to post it, so I think I might be in Portugal when I post this. I don't know, but that's it.

To be exciting, I haven't seen my parents in a month, not a year, so I'm going to go see them in Portugal because they live there. They've been living in Portugal for 10 years so I'm going to go to our house there and stay for three weeks and just take a real vacation and get some sun and I'm looking forward to it so much that Christopher has to stay here and work so he and grim they'll just relax here and then I'll be alone with my parents so I'm really excited but thank you so much again for watching I really appreciate it.
