I could spend hours watching you. there is an ocean and much more between the two of us, but watching you brings such peace and tranquility that I can't describe it very well. they accompany me on the good days and make my bad days better (today was one of them). you are an inspiration! I'm 30 and I learn SO MUCH from you! thank you for sharing, grateful to find you in this crazy world 😌
Aww, that’s so sweet! I’m so happy if my channel is useful to you!
I strongly agree!!!!☺️
I'm 61 and couldn't agree more, Benita brings peace and tranquility in the morning to relax me for the start of my hectic day.
I'm so excited whenever you post.
You create such peace.
I completely agree! I look so forward to her videos. Benita is such an inspiration.
I love the care you take in the small details. No one is better than you at reveling in the simple pleasures of life!
I am very detail oriented and love finishing things off nicely 😊
I really love how you show that you can update things in your space gradually and with thought instead of all at once. I think that there are a lot of videos available where people move or buy a new place and totally renovate it before moving in, which is not always viable or realistic.
It’s nice to live in a space for a while to see what works and what doesn’t😊
Une vidéo très agréable comme d'habitude. J'aime l'atmosphère et le côté classique de l'appartement, encore plus chaleureux avec votre touche personnelle☺
Benita, had you not said your age I never would've guessed! I honestly thought you were 42ish. You look amazing!
Thank you so much 😊
I know right, she looks amazing! I can only dream of looking that good in 7 years time when I hit 58!
@@EvasNan2020 I'm almost 38 and all this time I thought Benita was much closer to my age. I added a few years only because I had my children as a teen and they're now 20 and 18. Clearly, intentional living with less stress does the body very good!
❤😻❤️👍
Agree!
The apartment looks very charming and your new walk area is so relaxing 😍
It really is, I love it here!
I am decluttering quite a bit, emptying out each room, deep cleaning, painting and fixing those little bits and bobs. You have inspired me!
I'm so happy if you've found inspiration on my channel!
I have a 'Benita-goal' for this year... to be as neat and precise as you with DIY projects in and around the house. The doormat!! It looks as if it was made for that space. I love the little sneak peaks of your home and are looking forward to the reveals xx
I love projects like those. So rewarding!
I Love watching you furnishing/organizing with so much care and intention. I care for the details,too -it truly makes a home my HOME, instead of piling up junk.
Thank you so much!
The kitties are getting wiser with age! Thanks for the inspiration.
They really are! Thanks so much for watching!
I love how self sufficient you are. An inspiration! And, your esthetic is one I’ll adopt when I downsize. Thank you from California
Waiting for someone else to help would get nothing done🤣
What I love about moving is that it can be a fresh new start - putting familiar things in a new home makes them seem new as well! Nice job scribing the angle for your floor mat! That’s a trick not everyone knows how to do.
That’s so true!
I agree Benita...watching everything fall into place and getting its own personality is the best part!!! Much happiness in your new home! Can't wait to see the makeover!!!
Yes! Thank you!
It shows that exercise, eating nutritionally and minimalism will make you look younger!!! I would have guessed you in your 40's!! Watching your videos let's me escape into your world and forget all about mine! Keep up the great videos and look forward to more updates and reveals.
Wow, thank you so much!
Watching a variety of your unhurried projects, I have learned to slow down and enjoy the process of tidying, organising, and working in my home. This approach makes a chore into an enjoyable activity. Thank you so much for sharing these calm, gentle posts.
So glad the cats are being gracious in the morning and letting you sleep in!!!
I'm so happy that you are happy and content. The kitties seem to enjoy the new views and wide sills. Your videos are so soothing and informative. Makes me appreciate my Swedish heritage.
I'm so happy you enjoy the videos!
I so appreciate your meticulous attention to small tasks like these. Just watching you go about them is a kind of training for the mind: patience and an eye for the true. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you. I am a woman from Ukraine and watch your videos as a kind of treatment for stress. I admire your simple and elegant lifestile and try to use all your ideas in my life. I am looking forward to your videos. Please, keep on sharing your valuable experiences.
I'm so sorry to hear about Mini 💔 I had a little cry. What a sweet cat, I'm glad she had a lovely life with you. I will miss seeing her in videos. I hope Bonus is ok x
Me too! I was very sad to see the notice on Instagram and was also hoping Bonus is not too lonely. That's the downside to having pets.....it's just so sad when they leave us Xx
I love your calm demeanor and relaxing vibe. You don't seem to sweat the small stuff like many of us who freak out over every little thing. You are my calm tranquilizer. Your new home is already so beautiful and I love your new morning route!
This was so enjoyable to watch. Love how you are a “handyman” & can do your own jobs so satisfying & saves a lot of cash too. Your home looks really nice. Happy birthday to the adorable Minnie & Bonus😻😻
Glad you enjoyed it!
The expression, “save the best for last” is how I feel about your peaceful and restful content. Of the many YT creators I’m subscribed to, I solely look forward to yours!!! Yes, I’ve indeed saved the best for last. Yours! Thank you, Benita 😊
Aww, that's so sweet, thank you!
Your apartment is looking so pretty! Those floors, windows and overall vibe make such a difference. So glad you got curtains that barely kiss the floor instead of overly long ones. I enjoy watching your videos. They are so calming to me. Thank you for posting!
Oh, I can’t do the floor grazing ones, such dust collectors😅
It's so interesting...I'm also sleeping later. The other morning I woke up at 8:30! Wow! I usually get up at 6am. I do believer that our bodies "tell" us when we need the extra rest and thankfully, I'm retired so I no longer have to fight it. Love your new place!
Yes! And we all feel so comfortable here which also helps!
Benita you are so inspiring. Problem or annoyance? You find a simple (minimal & inexpensive) well designed solution. I'm looking at my home through fresh eyes on a regular basis. There's no need to suffer inconvenience or wait to have someone else take care of these things. Thanks for the mindset shift!
I’m so happy if you’ve found inspiration on my channel!
What a beautiful place to walk in. I love walking through the countryside/in nature, it's so peaceful and nurturing. It must be so satisfying being able to tailor you home to your liking 😊
It's stunning there!
The custom-fitted coconut fibre mat for your balcony entry is SO satisfying. I feel inspired to work on one in my own odd-shaped small entry.
I love these videos - so calm and relaxing. I love how you take care of Mini and Bonus ❤ - for Nellie (our kitty) - the same every morning routine (cleaning the litter box, changing the water (Nellie likes it when I add some ice cubes to her water) and clean her food dish before adding new food). So refreshing to start my day with watching you when you pop up a new video - can't wait to see all of the little and no so little changes that you do to make your space warm and cozy. Enjoy your day! 🌸💮🌸
I’m so happy you enjoy them!
Once I got over the guilt, I realized that my best sleep in between 3:00 and 7:00 or 8:00 am. I no longer want to get up in the dark. I wait for the sun.
Lovely concise doormat remodel... picture perfect! Your kitties are blessed to have an owner who supplies them with house plants to snack on. Looking forward to the next reveal.
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
I started watching two days ago and since then I have finished three little projects I had been putting off for no reason. So relaxing watching you get stuff done. I’ve been in my new home for four years and I’m still working on making it my own….even redoing a few things I did when I first moved in just to get it the way it suits me now that I’ve been in the space fir four years.
Yay for completing three projects!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So happy you’re settling in
Can you do a full video of the entire apt soon?
Love your aesthetic
Much love from NYC ❤
I’ll probably wait to do a full tour until more is done but I’ll share the process!
The way the light falls in your home is so beautiful, Benita. ❤ all the tones and textures 🐾
We’re in a very dark and gloomy season right now but what little light there is, is beautiful here!
@@BenitaLarsson same here in Scotland, longing for the light to lift again. Best wishes 🐾
I am so happy that you show us how take care from your home.
How wonderful to live near the Royal garden and see the seasons change.
Love watching you transform your apartment/condo into a home and I love how much you love your fur baby. Mine lived until he was 20, also a tuxedo. Every day is a bonus. Happy home-making.
Thank you so much!
The small details are what make a house into a home. I love how you take care of the spaces you live in.
The details are pretty import to me😅
*important
So therapeutic watching you upgrade and organize your new space and home Benita. Wishing you and M&B many many happy years in your new apartment!!!
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoy it!
It's always so interesting to see how you handle unique challenges in your space.
Glad to hear you are getting more sleep! It's so delicious to rest.
Dear Benita! Thx for your lovely video and so nice to see you are creating your new home😍 you are so skilled with craft works and it’s so nice when everything grows one by one…. Also your new walk looks so beautiful! So enjoy your new home and I am sure Mini and Bonus will love the balcony in spring ! See ya! Cheers from Iris
Thank you so much 😊
@@BenitaLarsson 🌸☺️
Im literally biting my nails until the balcony cat net video comes up! I need that for my cats 😢
Hi Benita, looks like you’ve settled into your new place nicely. Love your apartment and your new walking route. Thanks for the project inspo and looking forward to see more on your new place and surrounding area. Happy that you are closer to your son and best pal too :)
So fun to be able to hang out with everyone more easily!
Benita, Putting the customized mat up against the balcony doors is a great idea. It serves as a place to wipe your feet, place wet shoes, a cat scratching mat and it may block any cold air that wants to leak into the apartment. You most likely already thought of this, but in the future, when the mat needs to be replaced, you could use the back of the the old one as a template for cutting the replacement mat. Doing this will save you from having to remeasure.
I’ve had them in all my homes and they’ve lasted me the time I’ve lived there both indoors and out but thank you for the tip!
Thanks for a lovely video.. but mostly for your love to your cats.. Lost one of my cats Edgar and was really touched seeing your black cat. Regards from Athens, Greece
They are my sweeties for sure!😊
I could watch your videos all day!
Aww, I'm so glad you like them!
I could watch you all day! Love the new apartment!
Yay! Thank you!
I love getting up whenever I get up, although I too have pets who sometimes disagree with my scheduling. Such is life.
Yes, furry alarms tend to get you up 😅
I’m moving in 3 weeks. I am looking forward to being settled. Getting your space just the way you like is so nice. You give me ideas for our next place.
Ooh, how fun for you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm obsessed with the Nijntje/Miffy lamp since I first saw it in your apartment, I'm glad you took it with you.
The kitty at the end is the icing on the cake 😻❣
A great video Benita - indeed your talents know no bounds - every little detail in that coir mat measured to perfection and the door handles 👏👏. Well done, can't wait to see what comes next. Best wishes 😃
Thank you so much! Excited to share more soon!
Hi Benita! Thank you for allowing us to join you on your new adventure in life! I also thought it was funny how you said apartment sounded cooler than condo! Haha agreed! You’re the best, thank you Benita!! Lori, Phoenix AZ, USA
Haha, condo just makes me think of The Young and the Beautiful. They lived in condos 😅
I am happy to see you settling into your new home. It's very soothing to watch you. Seems like you've got it all figured out. The walk paths, your furniture placement and even the little organisational hacks. Great. Wish you all the best 😊
I don't have everything figured out but things are falling into place!
Hope we get to see your entire apartment soon. Love the sunny, airy dining area.
I’ll share things as they unfold!
Ciao Benita, I love how you do all this little works in your new home, you do everything by yourself! I also love how you show us all of your tools and gears that some minimalists hide... it's perfectly normal and minimal to have all that stuff to get things done in a house! I recently renovated my house in the countryside and everytime I can I go there to add my personal touches. My partner does not understand how I can relax while working with drill, saw, needles, paints.. but the he appreciates the results. Thank you for the inspiration! 😘🤗
Thank you for sharing how you and kitties are settling in! I think this is quite exciting, a new place to put your own touch on!
It’s so exiting, I love it!
I get all misty eyed hearing you speak about your two almost 18-year old kitty cats. My 20 year old Mister Fluffy died a while back and I miss him a lot. I've since adopted a new kitty, and love him so much- but there is something about getting to see your beloved cat grow old happily that I miss dearly. It was hard to realize his getting older also meant having to let him go one day, but man, do I love an older cat. All this to say - big hugs from me to Mini and Bonus. I hope they have many wonderful years left with you.
Thank you, loosing a pet is hard!
I love the deep windowsills and mouldings.
Yes!! Those are some of my favorites too!
The park is beautiful! And only a 5 minute walk away. 🌲 Love your solution to the issue of water on the balcony entryway. It’s a rewarding task.
It's such a great place to walk!
I work from home, too, and have grown to appreciate calm mornings and sleep!
Being on one's own schedule is pretty great!
The attention to detail on that door mat was sublime 👌 It's little things like that ( hooks and handles too ) that make all the difference to the comfort of a home. Love everything you've done so far. 58 in May here so that's another thing we have in common 😀
To me those details make all the difference 😊
Yesss personalizing a new home is the best part ❤
Feels so good!
It's looking beautiful already, can't wait to see more😍Your morning walk looks fab too x
Thanks so much 😊
I love watching your channel, it gives me inspiration and motivation to arrange and simplify my life . Thanks 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I'm so happy to hear that!
I love watching the process and progress of you settling in.The curtains are beautiful and you did a great job with the door mat.The area where you go for the morning walk is so beautiful and calming.😊💛
Thanks so much! 😊
Your video was so relaxing! Love watching the tasks you completed. Proud of you for doing them yourself, Benita! I’m also turning 58 this February. Looking forward to all of the good things this year will bring! 😊
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you for another update on your new home. Good to hear you've found another lovely walk nearby. See you in the next video Benita, take care.
Thank you, I will!
Dear Benita, I’m so happy for you , settled in your beautiful apartment with Mini & Bonus. It’s such a joy, like your other viewers have stated, to watch you do all the little things that make it a warm, nurturing environment for all of you. Thank you for continuing to share this part of your life with us all, very inspiring and soothing to watch!
Thank you so much!
Also, your attention-to-detail calms my soul! I find your living style very relatable. I am in the process of trying to emigrate (from the U.K.) to Sweden, where I hope to spend the rest of my life. Sometimes the process is so mentally and emotionally draining, but these videos help me to envision my life out there and keep me focused on my goal.
That sounds quite stressful. It's not the easiest to get a residence permit here unfortunately.
@@BenitaLarsson The most stressful part is that I have sacrificed a stable home and job here in order to be free of ties and able to visit Sweden easily (for interviews etc). I am very determined though, so just need to keep the goal in focus!
I've just bought a home, and this is giving me so much inspiration. I subscribed to your newsletter and am excitedly waiting for more content. Thank you!
I'm so happy if you feel inspired by my video!
Love your new place and your kitties!! You have inspired me to finish some minor home improvements that I've been putting off!
Yay, I love that!
I'm in awe of how handy you are. I also watched you blog back in the day and remember you were always working on a project in your home.
You seem so happy, and as always, are very inspiring. You’ve inspired me to find a new walking route, and get out my drill and tackle a few things…The new apartment is beautiful, made even more so by your skill. Hugs to you, and M&B, of course! 🌻
Thanks so much!
Your videos always make my day better!! There are so many things from your videos that I implemented into my home and life, and I must say that it was all good, I never regreted any of new things or habits. You’ve got it all so clever, stylish and usefull.
Lately, I’ve took advantage on sale, and for the first time I’ve ordered many items from Arket. All the basics, jacket, sweatshirts, even shoes. And I’m so impressed by the quality. Love it all!! Can’t wait to see a tour of your beautiful new place, and maybe some of your wardrobe updates…🥰
I’m so happy you enjoy the videos! I’m planning a wardrobe tour this spring!
Oh, Benita - those FLOORS!!!! I remember how pleased you were with them in the home reveal, and I enjoy seeing so much of them this time. So lovely!
The linen curtains look like a great addition; the entire doorway to the balcony will be beautiful. I'm excited to see that bedroom reveal when it's ready.
We are alllllmost done with the settling in from our move last year, but I do have some things to organize in the office/craft space. You've inspired me to tackle that this weekend. And of course I clicked right over to sign up for the newsletter - looking forward to that too!
Nice to see all the things you are doing to your new apartment. Love the bedroom drapes. I too had drapes and then went to blinds and miss my drapes so much. I had the black out drapes from Ikea. When you show us your drapes, can you show us the rod you installed. I am seriously thinking after seeing your drapes to go back to that idea. More cozy for sure. Thanks for the Ikea ideas just to upgrade things a bit. I like your new bathroom vanity handles, mine too, are so old fashioned and like the ones you purchased. Can’t wait to see more. Loved your walk. Where I live in Canada, just too unsafe now to walk in remote areas like parks alone. Too bad. Miss it so much. So will be inspired by your walks. All the best. I always love to see that white rabbit lamp in your former place and now in your new place. Light makes your room look so cozy.
I didn't install the rod, it was already there but I had to add a couple of brackets and get more glides. It's from Hasta and looks like this www.hastahome.se/produkt/gardinskena-u-skena-komplett-med-fasten/
Oh GENIUS...!! I would never have thought to cut the coconut fiber mat to fit the patio door threshold and step area...!! It then becomes a kind of step-tread carpet/mat, finished out perfectly so the eye sees all the clear edges and the pragmatic needs of wiping wet paws is alsoa joy to behold...!! As always, Inspo-a-la-Larsson... thank you...!! 💚
Glad it was helpful!
Its great seeing things come together. You make chores and projects so relaxing, I'm going to make a list and get going.
You can do it!
Love the way u handle little Things ❤
I do enjoy the details 😊
I love watching your little improvements- you inspire me! The new place looks fab. So happy for you. ✨🏡✨
Thank you, that's so sweet!
Its always a pleasure to see your videos!
and the simple idea for the doormat is genius 🙂
Can’t wait to see other parts of the house!
Glad you like them!
You don't look 58 Benita, but 58 is still very much young, I'm 57😌. Your home is coming along nicely. And sleeping in is a 'good thing' 😊.
Sleeping in us growing on me!😅
The place is coming along really nicely! It’s been great watching the progress you’ve made on it so far. Can’t wait to see the whole thing once it’s ready!
Happy Tuesday Benita!
Happy Tuesday to you too! Thank you!
Such an inspiration as always Benita! So happy to see you in your new home ❤
Thank you so much!
Hola Benita, al fin puedo ver tus videos en mi idioma, español :) Antes sólo los veía y escuchaba comprendiendo un tercio, ahora puedo comprenderlos completos, muchas gracias por tus videos !!
Oh, the nesting phase of moving is so much fun. You have all your stuff. You're in the space. You know how it works. And now you can fine-tune. I agree - it's almost thrilling and so satisfying to uncover what the best way to use the new space is. Benita, I've only been to Stockholm once but when I was there I stayed, for a month, with a friend who was renting a house in the Royal park! He called it his Hobbit house - it was a converted small barn that backed into a small hillside. As snug as it sounds and utterly delightful. I wonder if you'll find it on your walks.
Ooh, I wonder which one it is that's for rent! I'll keep an eye out for a house on a hill!
After I watched this video, I got up and tackled a few projects of my own. Thanks for the inspiration.
Glad to hear it!
I love watching how meticulous you are for the finer detail, such perfection. Your new home is beautiful…❤️🙏
Benita, it really looks like you are making a "house" a home and I look forward to your complete apartment tour! Tot ziens!
Yes, and having the best time!
Άνετο διαμέρισμα ! Οι μικρές λεπτομέρειες που κάνεις το κάνουν ακόμη πιο λειτουργικό ! Συγχαρητήρια ! Νασαι πάντα καλά και να το χαίρεσαι 🤗😘
Thank you, it is getting homey here!
Thank you, Benita. Your videos are inspiring and tranquil. Just what I needed today. Watching your videos and hearing your voice is like a meditation. Blessings from California XXX
How nice to have a lovely park nearby for your walks. I'm enjoying seeing your creative process unfold as you tackle small and useful projects.
That park is pretty amazing!
I enjoy organizing as well, and it truly is all the little details that can make your home feel special and personalized. I look forward to your videos each week!
Wait, 58?! Wow! You look amazing and I admire how active you are! Take care and never stop spoiling us with great content, please!
Thank you so much! I'll keep them coming!
My friends all think I'm mad for enjoying the moving process, glad that I am not alone in this. Flat is looking lovely, glad to see you settling in
Things of the floor make cleaning so much easier. You can see Minnie and Bonus are old. My floofers kill my mats, and I find sisal everywhere. The job of killing them has to be done, you hear them scratching the mats to pieces. And they do have scratching posts. 🤣 Good to see you are getting settled.
Bonus enjoys scratching the new one but it barely sheds which is great!
Thank you🙏
Luv how your cat put his/her paw up to tell you, “That’s enough, Mom!” at the end.
I know, it's the sweetest!
I’ve learned a few things from your videos. Taking things off the floor is also a great idea. Thanks for another inspiring video.
I’m so happy you’re finding inspiration in the videos!
