This is spooky timing. My wife and I are renovating our flat and trying to organize it from 6000mi/9000km apart and an 8-9 hour time difference plus her ADHD. It's been a logistical nightmare. This may help a lot! :o
@@lowwastehighmelanin Good luck guys!! For sure, it will be worth it once you have settled in. ❤️
@@mariajappinen3931 Ah thank you! How kind!
This would be my dream apartment. I love those radiators, the view from the windows, all the storage, the double doors to the bedroom, the colour of the bedroom walls. Finally i LOVE the kitchen and i think the units are a lovely colour and will go great with green plants.Lovely new home 🏡🏠
Gorgeous apartment! The first thing I noticed were the beautiful floors. I can’t wait to see it with your furniture. I’m so happy you, Mini and Bonus already feel at home.
The floors are amazing!
I love it all! And I’m so happy you’re already feeling at home here. I can’t wait to see the updates and changes you make.
Thank you so much! Will share more soon!
I can see lots of potential to make this space into your home. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Happy New Year!❤
Thank you so much for following along!
I live on 5 acres. I hate apartment living. But that’s a nice place!
Oh Benita, the apartment is beautiful - so elegant and timeless. I can’t wait to see how you make it your own. You have a fabulous appreciation for design and I’m looking forward to this next chapter in your channel. Best wishes, Aileen (Scotland)
Thank you so much!
I love the window sill over the radiator. Here in Spain the window sills are on the outside, so we can't put decor and the cats can't sunbathe. By the way, I noticed the Feliway plugged on. Hope your cat loves the new house as much us you do. Please keep us updated. As a cat mum of three, I love to know about cats lives and routines as well as their humans ones. Greetings from Spain.
Appreciate how you mentioned the FEEL of the brass kitchen handles.
I can hear the excitment in your voice. I can not wait to see it when you put your stamp on it. It is lovely to have a new space. I love the coffee table. Enjoy and I will be watching.
Gorgeous storage space on either side of that hallway. I love that there is a plug in at the bottom of the floor to tuck away any bulky appliances for a real minimalist look. Such a beautiful home!! The kitchen windows will be so cozy at Christmas to decorate or hang lights and see everyone else’s lights from the courtyard 🥹✨🤍
I love the layout, and the all of trim - absolutely beautiful. The emptiness is exciting and overwhelming at the same time - to fill the space and organizing everything! I can't wait to see all of your upcoming videos - glad to hear that Mini & Bonus are doing well. Hope you had a lovely Holiday! ❤
Thank you so much! I’m excited to share as I work on the spaces!
This is going to be such a thrill to watch you "Benita-size" this heritage gem!
I'm very excited to put my mark on it!
Compared to how open layout your previous place was, this seems a lot cozier with a tad more privacy. Plus, the vintage vibes are spot-on! Really excited to see you get it all sorted. :)
Thank you! I love it here!
I like the neutral on the kitchen cabinets in the video.. would be fun to style with that for a year before you paint them. Love the brass hardware too. Can’t wait to see how you style everything minimalistly and cosy.
Agree! I would give the kitchen cabinet a chance, they look beautiful and the brass also! 🙂
May you feel content and peaceful in your new home Benita. All the best to you in the coming year. 🕊🕊🕊
Thank you so much!
Oh I miss your old apartment 😢 But I like how you already feel home at your new Appartement.
Wish you the Best for 2023!❤
The kitchen windows are so wonderful…..you’ll have lots of light during the dark winters. 😊😊😊
Yes, even in the dreariest days (like today) there’s still some light!
Floors got my eye at opening scene😮❤🎉
Cool spaces can be similar to a root cellar or wine cave, store vegetables, wines, maybe hard cheeses? (I’d research)
The character of older buildings can never be duplicated. I think the kitchen is perfection to the character of the apartment.
My bricklayer father says older buildings are healthier because they aren’t sealed air tight.
Completely in love with the floors…
I LOVE the floors!
I love the charming apartment with many architectural details. It’s a perfect way of blending old and new. Great choice!
The period features are so nice to have!
Bonita, I love your new apartment. You made the right choice. I know you will put your own spin on it and make it nice and cozy for you and your cats. Your apartment has more charm and character than the other place, Gorgeous radiators, tall ceilings, crowns/moldings, kitchen. Blessings from USA!
Celadon green and gold in the kitchen , I 💛💚it
What a lovely space. I’m sure now that you have moved in, it’s just amazing. Wishing you much happiness in your new space, and in everything, always. Happy New Year and hugs to M&B, of course! 🙂
Thank you so much! Happy new year!
Congrats Benita hope you have lovely memories in your new place
Thank you so much!
Love the brass its a warm glow, and fits the buildings age,
Love the radiators too, the windows, the ceilings, the doors, the floors, all those details are invaluable
Very nice apartment. We put plastic sheeting with tape to keep out the drafts and sometimes a heavy blanket too.. I was also thinking your cold storage cupboard could be layered inside with thick insulation boards. They’re easy to cut. Anyway you and your cats will be happy there.
I’ll just make sure the weather stripping is up to par before next fall!
The historical details and the space itself looks well preserved. Loved the Christmas tree :) Congratulations on the new home 🤍
I understand you wanted to move to another area of the city, this "new" apartment has a nice patina, but I think the other was more than perfect. Keep those videos coming, I'm curious about the kitchen... All the best for 2023!
Thank you for watching!
Finally! Nice to see the reveal! Have a nice moving in and HNY 2023!
What a lovely place to live! I wish you and your cats all the happiness at the new apartment! And I'm already looking forward to new films :)
Thank you so much!
Your new home is gorgeous! Love, love, love the floors and all of the architectural details. I enjoy those features mixed with more minimalist and current design. It makes for a very interesting juxtaposition. I wish you many many years of happiness in your new home. Happy new year!
Thank you so much! I love how period features replace decor.
LOOOOVE the green kitchen 😍😍😍
Love the character of your new place. That floor is sooo beautiful.
I love that the floors are the same throughout!
Nice that you have an extra room but the flow through still lends it an open space vibe. Looking forward to seeing how you place your furniture pieces! I know you said you’d be using the kitchen for office/dining, but it could also make a good living/dining, with the next biggest as the bedroom and the green room as the office. (It’s fun to imagine-decorate other people’s empty spaces, lol!) Your minimalism will keep this apartment airy and functional.
I did consider the different options but in person this makes more sense for several reasons.
@@BenitaLarsson Absolutely! Probably morning vs afternoon light considerations in there as well.
Great idea!
Lovely! Older buildings have so many wonderful details, practical, yet beautiful. I can't wait to see what you do with it, so happy for you to start your new year with such an exciting project!
Thank you so much! I’m very excited too!
Many congratulations on your new home Benita. I really look forward to following you on the next part of your journey. May your home be blessed with health, wealth & happiness!
I'm new to your channel and I am watching the videos out of order so I'm late on the comments but concur with everything everyone has written. You have such a calmness in your voice. I enjoy both the composition and lightning in your photography. Just saying to embrace the brass/gold in your new kitchen apartment. It's beautiful.
Thanks so much for watching!
Gorgeous space! I can see you adding padding to the window in the kitchen for you, and the kitties of course! I can't wait to see how you put your style into the space. I hope your bedroom isn't too cold. 🥶 Congratulations 🎉
Thank you! It’s been quite chilly in there but at night I don’t mind😊
@@BenitaLarsson I understand. My bedroom is the coldest room in my apartment because it's on the outside corner and has two big, beautiful windows. But menopause has set in and I appreciate it being cooler at night! 😁
To be honest I prefer the old apartment, I don't know why, it's just a feeling.
You night be comparing a fully furnished place with an empty one 😅
@@BenitaLarsson I just think it's a matter of personal taste, but you're right, I'm sure it'll look awesome when this apartment is furnished!
Oh! I love the kitchen cabinet colour. It's still kind of muted for being so colourful. I understand wanting to make it your own though. Congratulations on the new place, it's so cozy and welcoming, even while empty.
I feel so much more relaxed just hearing you speak, Benita, and watching you move so gracefully throughout your new home. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Blessings from California XXX
Aww, that’s so sweet, thank you!
I don’t think I could live with all those windows facing my windows, especially on both sides. I would feel like I was on display, no privacy n
Then you should pick a different type of home for yourself.
Magnifique parquet dans tout l’appartement !
What a bright, airy apartment! So many window sills. I would fill them with plants if this was my place. Can't wait to see how you place your furniture in the new space. Congratulations!
This is like a holiday treat. I didn’t think we would see until the new year. It’s a lovely space. I love the vintage elements. I can’t wait to see your decor.
Thanks so much! 😊
Old world charm with the molding and the beautiful brass fixtures. And I love the color of the kitchen cabinets. Earthy color!
I love the period features!
I loved your previous apartment; perhaps it's because I live in an old house myself (112 years old) and know how cold it is this time of the year. However, I do love the character of old buildings and I can see why you chose it. I hope you will be very happy in your new home and Happy New Year.
It’s chillier but also cozier at the same time!
“Double doors!” I would say the same thing. Love the look of this place…can’t wait to see what you do with it!
You and me both!
I love the new apartment, Benita - thank you for the tour! It's beautiful. Those FLOORS!!!! You look quite content and I'm glad Mini and Bonus are getting settled as well. I'm sure they will enjoy the balcony when the weather eases up a bit.
I'm so excited for your next chapter and look forward to seeing everything you do to make this sweet, cozy home yours!
The space looks amazing! Lots of potential
Have always found, when arriving in a new home, to move in and live in it without changing anything. All too often an immediate change can lead to a thought of whether it was needed so immediately. The changes can then be made in good time if required. Ideas can change very quickly when actually living in and experiencing first hand the space and it’s practicality. It can also save money. Great apartment. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely apartment Benita i am so happy for you, truly happy, i hope you will be very happy there and once again thank you for sharing all the best for 2023
Love the new apartment. And the light as always. But the gold tap and sink, and all the handles would have to go!
Hope you’ll be very happy there.
What an exciting way to start the new year. Looking forward to sharing your journey in your lovely new space. Good decision on the brass tapware! I think you might find when you change out the grey colour of the cabinets the brass will provide a quiet warmth to the kitchen.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m hoping!
Even when it’s empty it looks cozy. I love the kitchen I would never change the cabinets. It brings a nice touch of colour but still so settle. Can’t wait to see it furnished.
The first thing I noticed was the amazing floors!! Congrats on your new apartment! it looks great, lots of light the crown molding and medallions are unique to the era adding character!
Thanks so much! 😊
Lovely new apartment:) When all of the furniture is in place it will be warmer, hopefully. We put big blankets on all our chairs down to the ground to cut out drafts. Heavy velvet wool drapes to pull across drafty doors and its cosy. The floors are beautiful!
Thank you! Of course it looks bare and a bit cold unfurnished 😅
Love the kitchen!!! The modern kitchen against the older features of the apartment looks fabulous. Can't wait to see how you style it all.
second look at the video. Loving the kitchen, the brass is a nice look with the color. Like you, I would not have picked it.
Your new apartment is really charming and I love what you see out your windows (a Rear Window view is my forever favorite). The best bit is that it’s in your “favorite hood”! You will feel that unbridled delight when you can go back to shopping in your old haunts again. As for the brass fixtures, I am so relieved that you see the beauty and simplicity in them. They will add just that subtile pinch-of-salt type of glow to your minimalist design esthetic without it feeling too “fancy”.
Thank you so much!
Congrats on new apartment Benita 🎉I love the flow of the floors throughout your apartment place, hoping to take carpets out of my bedrooms for continuity. New place,new beggings enjoy👍
Thank you so much!
É un bellissimo appartamento, é antico e ha una storia. Non vedo l’ora di vederlo arredato, sono certa che lo renderai ancora più magico❤
Thank you, I’m excited to put my stamp on it!
I can’t wait to see it all put together
Congrats on your new apartment, Benita! 💕
Happy new home Benita, loving the gold sink and handles in your kitchen.The wooden floors are cool too!Enjoy being closer to your son and best friend.Looking forward to seeing Mini & Bonus in their new home.Enjoy!🤗
Thanks so much!😊
I love the old world charm of your new home Benita. Looking forward to seeing how it comes to life with your style. Best wishes!
Thank you so much!
Previous owner(s) totally loved that apartment, which is wonderful for you. Hardly any improvements needed.
I liked your previous apartment, but I didn't really care about the neighbourhood. At the end of the day, we all want to live around like-minded ppl. What a great start to 2023. Mazel tov!
Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful apartment!
The coffee table is magnificent.
What a beauty home!!!!. I love hight ceilings too. The molds on wall meet ceiling are gorgeous and light roses too. That unificated floor make your house even more luxurious. Congratulations.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love your new apartment. Everything is beautiful. I especially love the green kitchen and the handles haha. But I live by a lake with forest around me and I love all the nuances of greys and greens in nature. Good luck in making the apartment suit you and your cats!💕
Haha! It is a nice green but not something I want in my kitchen😅
Wow, it's beautiful and cozy feeling 🥰 I love the thought that went into the details and storage spaces. I also live in an older home (1970s) and appreciate the unique charm that you don't get with newer builds. Congratulations 💖
I totally agree! Thank you!
I am pleased you will keep gold/brass for the faucet and new door knobs. They complement traditional woodwork and moldings.
Will the colder temperature be harmful or somewhat uncomfortable for M & B? I got worried about them.🐾🐈🐈💕
Everyone excited for the videos to come. So many projects and ideas!😊
There is absolutely no reason to worry.
Beautiful floors. I love older homes they have so much character.
They really do!
such a gorgeous place
I want my dream to live in such a bright and beautiful apartment to come true!!! I love buildings that have history, beautiful windows, I love the double door!
It's been my dream to move back to an older building for so long so I feel very lucky!
One more thing.....There are no incurable diseases only impatient patients. We can rely on our experience, the rest are just stories.
Really appreciate the tour! Enjoy!
Congratulations on the new apartment, I can't wait to see it furnished, I'm sure it's going to look beautiful and cozy.
Thank you! 😊
So happy to see your new apartment. It's beautiful and looking forward to seeing it after you have worked your magic. Hope Mini and Bonas are settling in well 💕😻
We’ve all settled in well!
The nice thing about brass (in a kitchen, especially) is that it is a copper alloy, which is inhospitable to a lot of microbes.
I can’t wait to see how you transform this empty apartment into a cozy new home for you three. Congratulations! Amycapdet
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely apartment, so much storage, I’m sure you have so many ideas on how to make it functional for you and your kitties ✨
Getting organized here is so much fun!
Oh yes, green and cold were the trend colours of the former season. And a closet as a shower is well known, my house has the same. Old houses, eh 💘which also means double doors 💗and colder temperatures. But the ceilings and the stucco make up for a lot. You and the kitties will be so happy here. Welcome.
Thank you! We are already happy here!😊
I had the same issue with brass door knobs and handles when I moved in. I ended up leaving them just because I couldn’t afford to replace them and now I love them.
The brass is growing on me!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm so excited to see how you organise and style your home for you and your cats. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 xx
O.M.G 🥰 What a treat! Place looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G 😛
I feel very lucky!
How lucky to have 3 built-in closets in such an old building! And the kitchen is enormous. What a wonderful find that flat is.
After viewing over 60 places this one felt instantly right!
What a beautiful space. I love all the detail. Adds so much character. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the floors! This apartment is my vibe too, modern, but old. Congrats on the new place. How exciting!
The floors were a big selling point for me!
Wonderful new residence Benita! Have a better New Year too!
LOVE THE NEW SPACE!
Here are a few suggestions:
1. 1st thing I would do is replace the bathroom mirror with a mirrored wall cabinet so you have a place for toiletries.
2. Enclosing the area where the old stove used to be would make an excellent coat and boot closet while concealing the "architectural leftovers" from the old stove.
3. I always think of hallways as wasted space and barriers to adjacent spaces. Much better to open walls and combine spaces. I would remove the remaining wall so that the hallway and old kitchen spaces combine to make a good size TV Lounge or Office. Reuse the double doors on the new coat closet facing the entry door so you can still mount a TV on the room side.. Fill in the wall where the double doors used to be. Using this space for entertaining also makes guest access to the balcony more inviting. This is also the coolest room without a radiator.
4. The next room becomes the bedroom which is warmer with the radiator and has plen0ty of room for wardrobe and storage cabinets. I just love a big bedroom.
5. And what's better than a big bedroom is a big kitchen; and yours is the best. There is no limit to the functions that you could design into the wall opposite the cooking wall. Personally, I don't like any upper cabinets because I can't reach anything due to arthritis, but you could put in floor to ceiling storage, desk space and entertainment center if you wanted. I would try to imitate the idea of the cooking wall that uses all same doors for storage, dishwasher and refrigerator for a clean and uncluttered look. Your kitchen will be the social center of your home. I cannot wait to see what kinds of tables and chairs you choose.
6. Would your building allow a small electric fireplace? Mine does not. I am able to use a small electric heating pad to warm up my mattress and blankets before I get into bed. Your cold pantry might be worth insulating. Or it might be a perfect wine cabinet. ;)
I can hardly wait to see how you make this space your own.
...Grattis, superfin! VinterHej från NYC! 😀
I love the potential of this apartment, the truly vintage vibe is awesome. Im surprised to hear myself say it but the kitchen cabinets would look better white, especially with that rather gorgeous flashy tap and sink. Never ever did I think I'd say that.
I’m so with you on the white kitchen!
So beautiful. This is heaven for those who knows how to appreciate the classic design. Seems like neighbourhood is lovely. Good luck in your new home, Benita! And many great memories! 💝🚪🌞
Can't wait to see how you decorate! Wishing you the best of health and happiness in your new home!
Thank you so much!
Windows and high ceilings!!! I'd have to paint the kitchen cabinets though. I know you don't cook but your old kitchen was perfect. What fun. 😊💛 my 1912 600sqft has 4 exposures and 9 windows.
so gorgeous! loved the walkthrough. excited to see you add some decor and organization to the space.
Thank you so much!
Can't wait to see it furnished! Congratulations!
Yay! The new apartment! So happy that you're back in the part of the city where you want to be and closer to your son and friends.
Very happy to be back in this part of town!
I am not a fan of gold/brass myself, however, I agree at times it is ok to embrace it ,rather than to fight it. Looks nice in your appartment. Loved how you smiled when sitting by the window, knowing this place was the right choice for you.
It’s growing on me for sure!
