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 😌
@@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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 😊
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
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
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! 🌸💮🌸
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.
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.
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 :)
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 😊
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.
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.
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 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.😊💛
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…🥰
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
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 😀
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!
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!
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.
@@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!
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.
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
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
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!
Hi, Benita, how are you? It's so fresh and motivater to have a new ground (and landscape) to walk on your daily mornings! I think that Minnie and Bonus are loving your new home, with every confort, love and care that they need with the old age. You are really a self-made woman at home, so ressourceful, with so many good ideas! Many thanks and have a wounderful year! (note: some images were a bit darker... difficult to see what's happening.) ♡
So good to see how well everything is progressing. Taking time to work out what you need and what works best is the way to go. I’m getting plenty of hints and ideas as I contemplate a move hopefully in the near future from the country back to the city to be closer to family. There will need to be a great deal of downsizing even though I try to keep my environment quite minimal. I was so pleased to see your wooden bird again. I do ❤️ it.
Hi, Benita! Just wanted to say that your new home is really coming along! I love watching your videos, and I find your voice so soothing. Your videos are so peaceful. I look forward to many more! Lots of love xx
Enjoyed seeing where you walk! Such a beautiful place and I look forward to a future videos as the seasons change. I also picked up on the laundry hanger tip in a previous video and I put one up on my patio.... oh, the clothes and bedding smell so fresh after being aired. I will NEVER NOT have a laundry hanger! Tack for the tip!
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.
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.
Your new place is coming together so lovely! I loved the way you just got in there with those projects! It was motivating. I really like those coconut mats, I’ve been looking for some alternatives and I like the color of the ones you bought! TFS and cheers!
Your videos are such an inspiration! Watching your videos is usually part of my Saturday morning routine, but sometimes I just can’t wait, like today and got a dose of your inspiration early.
Hej Benita.... Thank you for sharing. It looks so lovely 😊. Your new morning walking routine is beautiful in all seasons and peaceful (It reminds me the area we like to go, Tange Sø). Looking forward to see more videos with more tips and reveals!! Have a good week , Mini&Bonus too!
cottage cheese with warm blueberries is a wonderful idea! I don't eat breakfast but that would be amazing anytime! I love your new walk; so much nature to soak in. question: the rug you tweaked at the doorway, does it slide around much when wiping your feet? Thanks for this great video!
HOME SWEET HOME ... I'm LOVING the new area ... We are so lucky to be shown around such a wonderful city ... and your fab new home .. Kitties look so happy too .. Hope it warms up for you all very soon .. PS ...I have no idea how you can just wear sneakers in freezing cold weather.. We all reach for our fur lined boots here in the UK ... Keep warm .. Warmest of thanks for your/our video.
Vilken fin lägenhet. Jag är glad att du är så nöjd. Jag saknar Sverige men ska till Uppsala juni 2024. Då är jag pensionär. Många hälsningar till dig och katterna!
Learn something new every day. I have never ever heard of ice grippers:) I had a terrible fall on ice many years ago, if only I had known (they may have helped). Thanks so much for your videos👍
I wish my dog would let me sleep in 😭 I've never been a morning person but I got this dog 2 years ago and he has an internal clock. He likes to go to sleep early and insists I do as well. I've had dogs my entire life and never before has one dictated my schedule! I love your bunny lamp. I am always looking for one that size. I keep seeing small ones. I'm very much into ambient lighting instead of using overhead lights.
Your new, or shall I say “renewed” walking route looks amazing! When I moved from the city to the suburbs of Chicago in 2020 something similar happened to me. I lost a great route but gained a great one as well. 🏃♀️✌️
So, I used to be envious of the old morning walk.... What an upgrade! Beautiful Stockholm, how glorious as the seasons change 🌼 Back to your apartment, loved the old place, but Upgrade! ( You get the drift...😄) I'm a "bit" less enthusiastic about moving ( that would be Mr J's 4 Collections of Treasures to pack 😟) but will def use your approach to the process as inspiration, Benita! Grateful thanks, stunning videography 🐈
Nice video 👍. Great that you have the black out curtain. Over here in Singapore 🇸🇬 always sunny makes the difference, we sleep better too. We switched to black out curtains many years ago👏👍. I'll be 58 this year.
