Same. And same for the bedroom cabinet, the dining chairs, the patio furniture, the entryway cabinet… I guess that’s why Benita has a minimalism channel and I don’t. I have trouble letting go of anything. 🤣
Glad I wasn't the only one! I went off into a dream wondering if they'd be on eBay and how much they'd cost to ship to the UK, ignoring the fact that I don't have the space or the money for them ☺
Me too! 😂 I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I thought, there'll be room in the kitchen!! When you sat in it and spun around, I thought, you're definitely going to miss that!! 😁
It's so cute that you included Mini & Bonus' personal items in your moving list. I hope you have a great time sourcing new purchases for your home. Thanks for sharing a sneak peek of your new home.
The few photos of your new home are so lovely. I admire your decision to find an older home rich in visible historic details ❤ It looks like you hit the jackpot. Can’t wait to see more this winter.
Congratulations! Add my enthusiasm for your news to everyone else's here, Benita.This armchair traveler is enjoying the ride, and I truly admire your ability to let some things go in favor of the new home you'll be creating and adapting for how you want to live now. This is a testament to paring down, surrounding yourself with what you most want and need, and to fresh starts. Someone is very lucky to be moving into your lovely modern apartment, but how exciting it will be to cross the threshold of a magnificent 100-year-old building every day. Best wishes, and thanks for taking us along!
Congratulations! That's a nice area, I was walking there a week ago when I was visiting my boyfriend in Stockholm (he lives in Kungsholmen). :) I really appreciate how lovingly some (or many) of those beautiful pre-war buildings have been restored in Sweden. It's not always the case here in Riga, Latvia, where I live, but I hope that we're learning.
Congratulations on having found a new apartment to your liking etc! 👏👏👏 Very best of luck for the forthcoming months whilst everything comes to fruition! I look forward to seeing your new home in due course. And thank you for letting us be a small part of your life, your videos are always relaxing and inspiring and belie the hard work which (I'm sure) must go into them!
So happy for you. NEW is always fun. Unfortunately, you have to sell those cool armchairs from the 70's. Someone else can enjoy them. That was super interesting how you itemized all your belongings into the keep, sell, or give-away categories. Another great video. Your future looks bright.
Fresh starts are always so exciting! The new space is stunning, and I’m sure you will make it even more so. Enjoy the process, good luck, and congratulations! (As always, hugs to M& B. Can’t wait to see the new catio.)
On your recommendation I bought a Muista stool, and despite the long delivery time, it was worth waiting for. I am a fidgeter, and it's nice to rock, and be forced to sit up straighter. I combine mine with a rising desk, so I am either standing up, or rocking, and it's much better, as I also work from home. Exciting news for the move - sad to see your armchairs go, but how exciting for a new start! Good luck with the move. Best wishes from Cornwall UK
I was actually thinking about you today and pop here is a video! I'm very excited and happy for you, it is a lot of fun to redecorate and there will be so many changes. Love how Mini and Bonus will have all their stuff with them ♥ moving can be stressful for cats, thankfully you've been approved for a new catio!
Now this is SO exciting for all of us .. I hope you understand that you are taking all of us with you to your new home ... If you have spare time .. Please could you do a video about ' LIGHTING '... What sort of lamps in which room and how much light .. The nordic homes appear to have very little lamp light unlike the Brits who go all out to have lamps and lights every where .. I am going crazy trying to decide which lights to buy ..Esp with these new LCD lights such as FERMOB ..So as you go shopping for all of your amazing new furniture .. Please look out for lighting and advice us along the way ..THANK YOU in advance of the move ..
Looking forward to you sharing this next chapter of life with us here in the community. Although I practice a minimalist lifestyle, when I downsized into my current home it was interesting that I managed to have a lot of moving boxes in spite of the decluttering I did months prior and all the way up to the moving day! When having a smaller home, it really does challenge your creativity and makes you consider future purchases. 🙂
I will have considerably fewer boxes this time! I think I had 80 boxes two moves ago, 60 in my last move and it’ll be interesting to see how many I’ll have this time 😅
Wow your new place sounds amazing. Love all the old features. Also, fair play for such a detailed apartment shopping list, you really knew what you did want and didn't. So looking forward for the new content 🥰
Congratulations on selling your apartment and finding a new one! It’s so exiting! Looking at you new apartment’s floor plan, if I were you I would make the biggest room the kitchen+living room, the second biggest room the bedroom and the smallest room the home office.😊
You sound so excited about moving closer to your son and good friends. That makes me very happy for you. I also wish that I lived closer to my daughter and her family and one day I hope to make that move also. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey,
Congratulations! I look forward to seeing the new place. Moving for a minimalist is so much less of a big deal than for a typical person--you won't be moving giant boxes full of things you never use!
I'm planning a huge international move right now and I'm wishing my list was as short as yours. I don't have a ton of stuff, but what I do have is precious, and I'm putting myself through the psychological wringer trying to work out if and how to take it all. It's hard to find the things I need where I'm going but the cost of the move is very high, so I need to cull. Congratulations on your new apartment. It's going to be a long couple of months waiting to see it.
Benita - You never fail to inspire 👊 No last minute decision making for you! If I could only get over the fear of the ‘what if perhaps maybes’ - I could follow your lead.
Wonderful, I did smile when I heard Mini and Bonus were packing also. Does the new apartment building have other storage area for you, similar to you current one? I never thought those lovely chairs in the lounge area would go, but then time for change and what fits in. Happy for you that you will now be living so close to your son and your friends. The time go quickly enough. 🙂
Dear Benita, I am so happy for you, the new place looks lovely. Can’t wait until you get yet your new furniture for the new place. I know lots of people are aghast at you selling so many things, but I know it is a good thing to do different decorating on your new move. I am so happy, as I am sure you are to be now closer to friends and family. I can’t wait for you to take us to the shops and points of interest in your new area, as you did with us in this home. I too am living minimal and always getting rid of things. I firmly believe after inheriting my parents home full to the rafters of furniture and objects, that I would never live that way. I find I don’t need a lot of materialistic things to live. Use what I have and buy when needed. All the best again to you and I have been a follower of yours for a very very long time and cannot wait for this new chapter in your life. A senior and big fan from Canada.
Hi I am fairly new to your channel but loving it! My issue is papers! Well actually growing up with over filled houses and knowing nothing else! ( Too much furniture, books, ornaments, plants, newspapers, books, photos!) But slowly I am getting there. The concept of a storage room in your apartment block is new to me here in Cornwall, UK. Will your new apartment have one in an older building? And a video of decluttering paperwork, magazines and clippings from magazines would be helpful to me.
Cannot wait to see the new place and your new set up. I’m very happy you found something in the area close to friends and family I know that is important to you. All the best! ❤️
Hello Benita, It was so good to see your post about your new space. I’ve really been watching for your post, missed you this summer. So happy for you finding a space that better suits your tastes and needs, closer to your son and friends. Your excitement for you new space was evident in your voice as you went thru your preparations and planning, room by room. Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing all your new place when you are able to finally move in.😊
It's really beautiful ! As an interior designer, I would divide the kitchen with a sort of open separation to have two distinct spaces. Like vertical cleats or a glass wall that keep the natural light.
You could make a living room out of the kitchen, I mean, you could make both in one room, especially, when the light is bright. It could be cosy there. And it is the biggest room.. 😊
Congratulations. So looking forward to seeing your new place and what you will do with it. I was fascinated by your comments about the kitchen. I recently moved to a house with a truly horrible kitchen and was trying to plan a new layout but felt constrained to replace like for like. Your thoughts about not wanting too much kitchen has really changed my thoughts about what to do with my space - I now want to make it into a kitchen/dining/office space. Thank you x
So exciting! I can’t wait to see what it looks like. The layout is exactly what I would want if I was on my own (no husband) and in a nice part of a city. Congratulations!
Wonderful news! A huge congratulations to you Benita! Very exciting changes ahead! As much as it sounds odd... I am so visually familiar with your present home, that I am going to miss it but sure looking forward to whatever journey you take us on! Thank you!
Benita, your upcoming move is so exciting! I can just envision your new place - even more beautiful than your current one. I love the new sofa you’ve chosen, and feel that it will set the tone for your new place. The catio will be great for your kitties. I live in a Toronto suburb, but we have a hawk and a fox living nearby, and cats are in constant danger. Lately, some greater Toronto areas have coyotes. City life is not what it used to be here, and a catio has become a necessity. Have a smooth move!
How wonderful all has worked out so well for you these past few months 🌼 I am excited for you and look forward to your transition. After seeing the Muista chair in your earlier vlog, I recently ordered one. I love the design and functionality of this chair! Wishing you a wonderful week 🌼
Although we hope to be in our current home long term, I have enjoyed in the past the fresh start a move to a new home brings. So nice to find new places when you move to a new location. Very excited for you
I have bought a Muista chair after seeing it on your videos, and I really like that I can keep moving while seated! I kept my old office chair here because I thought I would feel like seating there once in a while, but never happened! Wish you all the best time in the new apartment, and I'm excited to see it :)
Congratulations, Benita ! Wonderful news that all is progressing so well for your upcoming move ! Yay for selling your place, selling some furniture, being 2 minutes from your son, finalizing ownership of new Home … everything ! Well done ! The move will be so streamlined since you have been so intentional about simplifying your possessions. Very inspiring.
Wow, that is so exciting! I have been watching and following you for so long, it’s hard to imagine your home without those chairs. But I am thrilled to see what is next! Congratulations!
How exciting for you. I have moved to four states in ten years and find moving exciting yet a lot of work. Enjoy the process of making a new space into a home.
Congratulations on finding your new home ! 🎉I love older buildings and can't wait to see what you do with this one . That's great you are closer to your son and I wish you and your kitties many peaceful , happy times in your new home . 💕🙏🇨🇦
When I heard you say you chose a building pre 1930….I was happy to hear that you decided against your armchairs. Their styling would feel out of place in a heritage building. Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate your style into a heritage building.
Thanks for the sneak peak! Can’t help but notice instantaneously the mounting of front door locks are skewed. 😢 I’m pretty sure you have noticed too and will fix it. 😊
We are about to move, too! The new place will be about 2/3 the size of what we have now. I think trying to sell will be even more stressful than buying. We are trying to be ruthless about releasing our possessions. I think it will be a relief on the other side of the transition.
Benita it looks very nice 👍 I am excited to see the new apartment! I think you make a good decision moving near your son and buying such a lovely place . I love it is a historic building. 😘😘
Thank you for sharing your thought processes and decision making around what you're taking and what you'll replace. Yet another reason to buy quality furniture -- when you don't want it any more there's a market for selling it. Lucky people who get to buy your cast-offs!
Good for you Benita, so excited for you.... we are also moving in 3wks...to a 1yr old condo, cleaner, brighter and newer ....we are renting, no more buying for us. We travel lots so it's a perfect lifestyle for us. Can't wait to see your new place ❤
B: Are you detecting a trend here? Classic designs are timeless and never go out of style. I have to agree with each viewer that was dismayed at your decision to part with the items you chose to part with. Oh well........... its your life, your new apartment and we are wishing you only the best! Is it funny to know you have such a huge number of watchers waiting to see what you do next?
I’m kind of fascinated that there are so many who are more attached to my furniture than I am to be honest. I’m making the decision based on my new layout. Why would I bring things I will not need or that will not fit?
@@BenitaLarsson We are attached for whatever reason. You should not have to answer our nosey questions about how you furnish your new home. I hope the negative responses won't impact on your desire to share your new "digs" with us in the future.
I am a little sad I don’t live in the same city as you… I would love to have bought those arket storage cabinets. But glad you found the perfect place you were looking for.
Hello Benita! 😀 Congratulations! How exciting! So happy you have a new place, ❤ from what you have shown us it is beautiful and fresh looking. So nice to move to a new space and make it cozy & warm for Mini, Bonus, and you. 🥰 Moving is fun and exciting but can also create so much anxiety with everything that needs to be done. I really like the layout and it is nice that you will have your catio again! I love the table that you are purchasing, sad to see some of your other comfy furniture go - can't wait to see what you do with your new place! 💗💓💗
Congratulations Benita! It's so nice to have this part settled! Now the fun of moving in and setting up begins. I'm looking forward to following you on this adventure and seeing your lovely new place.
So exciting ! …and no surprise that you’re already so organised! I hope everything goes smoothly for you and I look forward to seeing you transform your new home.
Congratulations Benita 🥰👏🏻🥂!!! Happy to see how the new apartment would look...yes, I have used my imagination but being in Denmark, I have an idea of the style and it's going to be sooooo nice!!! Just enjoy of all the good things of this moving and your new life 🤩
Yayyyyy!! I’m so happy for you!! I love your condo but I know you wanted to be near your son & your friend & I can’t wait to see it!! Congrats my friend!! 💜💜
Hi from Kentucky, USA. I just really love all of your videos. My late husband’s ancestors immigrated from Sweden to Minnesota. There are lots of Swedish folks up there and in Northern Illinois. Congratulations on your upcoming move.
I saw this vlog after the visit to your new appartment and I understand now the choices that you've made! It will be great for you for sure....I would be missing your outdoor space though, but that's me, because we love to garden! Congratulations on your new place!
Thank you for the update. So excited about sharing this journey with you ☺️ looking forward to how you manage/design the closet space in the new place.
Åh vilken livskvalitet att få bo så fint. Tänk va lätt att flytta när man är en minimalist. Slippa släpa med sig allt som man inte behöver. Lycka till! 😍
Congratulations, Benita! Excited to see your new home and what accent colors you may experiment with. How wonderful that you found what you wanted and in the location you hoped for. After 40+ yrs in CA where I was born and raised, I moved from Ojai, CA to Austin, TX just a few wks ago. BIG change and crazy politics but a much needed hotbed of career opportunity and increase in quality of life that I have needed. Excited for the future, just like you. All the best always! 🌼🌼🌼
I love your channel. It is inspiring me to get rid of my excess stuff! I wish you lots of luck moving! Never a fun project but so exciting when you are moved in and settled! Thank you for sharing your fun, wonderful life with everyone.
It looks like the perfect place for you and the kitties. Best of all...you'll be near your son and friends. So many exciting things to look forward to!
Congratulations! I could just feel your excitement. I'm kinda bummed out about the arm chairs. They're so pretty and look so comfy. But if they won't fit, there is no point in taking them. I have a balcony. All you really need is a couple of chairs and a table. Some plants and you're good to go. Enjoy. Can't wait to see how you decorate your new crib. Thanks for sharing. 💖
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you, your new place sounds lovely. Can't wait to see what's in store for you. It's stressful but exciting to start over in a new place. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Brava and congratulations! How exciting! What a gift to start fresh in an area you love near family & friends. I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos as your plans progress! Whoohoo! ❤
If you're looking for sources, I've tried to collect as many as I can here: www.benitalarsson.com/sources
when you said you were not keeping the armchairs I said "NOOOOO" out loud. I had no clue I could be bonded t o someone else's furniture!
Haha, that's so funny!🤣
😸
Same. And same for the bedroom cabinet, the dining chairs, the patio furniture, the entryway cabinet… I guess that’s why Benita has a minimalism channel and I don’t. I have trouble letting go of anything. 🤣
Glad I wasn't the only one! I went off into a dream wondering if they'd be on eBay and how much they'd cost to ship to the UK, ignoring the fact that I don't have the space or the money for them ☺
Me too! 😂 I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I thought, there'll be room in the kitchen!! When you sat in it and spun around, I thought, you're definitely going to miss that!! 😁
The old patio will be missing in my heart
It's so cute that you included Mini & Bonus' personal items in your moving list. I hope you have a great time sourcing new purchases for your home. Thanks for sharing a sneak peek of your new home.
I’m really excited to source some different pieces for this place!
@@BenitaLarsson I really like that coffee table too! well done for asking the Seller.
I'm so delighted for you, Benita! How wonderful to be closer to friends and Wille! Looking forward to watching you Benitafy another space ☺
I’m so excited for that part too!
The few photos of your new home are so lovely. I admire your decision to find an older home rich in visible historic details ❤ It looks like you hit the jackpot. Can’t wait to see more this winter.
I wish I could share more already but as soon as I can I'll share more!
Congratulations! Add my enthusiasm for your news to everyone else's here, Benita.This armchair traveler is enjoying the ride, and I truly admire your ability to let some things go in favor of the new home you'll be creating and adapting for how you want to live now.

I can get distracted by nice new builds so it was important for me to get my period details or I would regret it so much 😬

It’s alway interesting to see how minimalists in other countries live, work and decorate. Thanks for sharing! Your videos are alway relaxing to watch.
It's really beautiful ! As an interior designer, I would divide the kitchen with a sort of open separation to have two distinct spaces. Like vertical cleats or a glass wall that keep the natural light.

Excited to share once I’m in!
How wonderful all has worked out so well for you these past few months 🌼 I am excited for you and look forward to your transition. After seeing the Muista chair in your earlier vlog, I recently ordered one. I love the design and functionality of this chair! Wishing you a wonderful week 🌼

Your new home looks so lovely. I really hope that you’re taking Miffy with you too!
Miffy is tagging along!
Although we hope to be in our current home long term, I have enjoyed in the past the fresh start a move to a new home brings. So nice to find new places when you move to a new location. Very excited for you
Thank you so much!
I have bought a Muista chair after seeing it on your videos, and I really like that I can keep moving while seated! I kept my old office chair here because I thought I would feel like seating there once in a while, but never happened!
Wish you all the best time in the new apartment, and I'm excited to see it :)
I totally get that you haven’t felt the need to use your old chair!
Congratulations, Benita ! Wonderful news that all is progressing so well for your upcoming move ! Yay for selling your place, selling some furniture, being 2 minutes from your son, finalizing ownership of new Home … everything ! Well done ! The move will be so streamlined since you have been so intentional about simplifying your possessions. Very inspiring.
Wow, that is so exciting! I have been watching and following you for so long, it’s hard to imagine your home without those chairs. But I am thrilled to see what is next! Congratulations!
I didn’t realize that so many are attached to my chairs!😅
How exciting for you. I have moved to four states in ten years and find moving exciting yet a lot of work. Enjoy the process of making a new space into a home.
I love the moving process so I can’t wait!
Congratulations on finding your new home ! 🎉I love older buildings and can't wait to see what you do with this one . That's great you are closer to your son and I wish you and your kitties many peaceful , happy times in your new home . 💕🙏🇨🇦
Thank you so much!😊
BENITA MAKE THE ROOM TOUR FOR NEW APARTMENT PLEASE.
CONGRATULATIONS
When I heard you say you chose a building pre 1930….I was happy to hear that you decided against your armchairs. Their styling would feel out of place in a heritage building. Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate your style into a heritage building.
I would totally put them in this 1912 apartment if there was room for them. Retro and historic can be a great combination!
I wish you a lot of beautiful, peaceful and joyful and exicitng, and just overall great days in your new home 🙂
Thanks for the sneak peak! Can’t help but notice instantaneously the mounting of front door locks are skewed. 😢 I’m pretty sure you have noticed too and will fix it. 😊
We are about to move, too! The new place will be about 2/3 the size of what we have now. I think trying to sell will be even more stressful than buying. We are trying to be ruthless about releasing our possessions. I think it will be a relief on the other side of the transition.
Exciting times for you!
So Happy for you Benita. A new chapter in your life ❣️
Benita , I wish you peace and happiness.
I'm so happy for you! 💕 There's also the awesome bonus of all the new pretty house content we'll get, too 😌
Very excited to be sharing that!
I love your current house. But, I also like the plan of the new house. I have a divided heart. Congratulations as well.
I’ve enjoyed my current one too!
Benita it looks very nice 👍 I am excited to see the new apartment! I think you make a good decision moving near your son and buying such a lovely place . I love it is a historic building. 😘😘
Congrats Benita, can't wait for more videos in the new place, I'm sure you'll make it as lovely as the one you are leaving!!
I’m excited to tackle this new one!
Thank you for sharing your thought processes and decision making around what you're taking and what you'll replace. Yet another reason to buy quality furniture -- when you don't want it any more there's a market for selling it. Lucky people who get to buy your cast-offs!
Good for you Benita, so excited for you.... we are also moving in 3wks...to a 1yr old condo, cleaner, brighter and newer ....we are renting, no more buying for us. We travel lots so it's a perfect lifestyle for us. Can't wait to see your new place ❤
Ooh, exciting time for you! Congratulations!
Can’t wait to see your new home. I love the detail in older homes.
B: Are you detecting a trend here? Classic designs are timeless and never go out of style. I have to agree with each viewer that was dismayed at your decision to part with the items you chose to part with. Oh well........... its your life, your new apartment and we are wishing you only the best! Is it funny to know you have such a huge number of watchers waiting to see what you do next?
I’m kind of fascinated that there are so many who are more attached to my furniture than I am to be honest. I’m making the decision based on my new layout. Why would I bring things I will not need or that will not fit?
@@BenitaLarsson We are attached for whatever reason. You should not have to answer our nosey questions about how you furnish your new home. I hope the negative responses won't impact on your desire to share your new "digs" with us in the future.
Congratulations . I am happy with you , dear Benita ❤🎉👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩
Thank you so much 🤗
How exciting for your new place and now new beginnings being close to your son and friends.
I can’t wait to move in!
I am a little sad I don’t live in the same city as you… I would love to have bought those arket storage cabinets. But glad you found the perfect place you were looking for.
Hello Benita! 😀 Congratulations! How exciting! So happy you have a new place, ❤ from what you have shown us it is beautiful and fresh looking. So nice to move to a new space and make it cozy & warm for Mini, Bonus, and you. 🥰 Moving is fun and exciting but can also create so much anxiety with everything that needs to be done. I really like the layout and it is nice that you will have your catio again! I love the table that you are purchasing, sad to see some of your other comfy furniture go - can't wait to see what you do with your new place! 💗💓💗
Thank you so much!😊
I’m so happy that you have some outdoor space for you and your fur babies 🐱🐱🪴🌾
That makes me happy too!
Congratulations Benita! It's so nice to have this part settled! Now the fun of moving in and setting up begins. I'm looking forward to following you on this adventure and seeing your lovely new place.
The stressful part is behind me hopefully!
So exciting ! …and no surprise that you’re already so organised! I hope everything goes smoothly for you and I look forward to seeing you transform your new home.
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations 🥳Best of luck and happy times for you in your new flat
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations Benita 🥰👏🏻🥂!!! Happy to see how the new apartment would look...yes, I have used my imagination but being in Denmark, I have an idea of the style and it's going to be sooooo nice!!! Just enjoy of all the good things of this moving and your new life 🤩
Thank you, yes as a Dane you would be able to picture it!😊
Yayyyyy!! I’m so happy for you!! I love your condo but I know you wanted to be near your son & your friend & I can’t wait to see it!! Congrats my friend!! 💜💜
I love the stool. Benefits of excercise ball but modern and sleek.
Congratulations on finding a new home in the area of the city you wanted!
Thank you so much!
Hi from Kentucky, USA. I just really love all of your videos. My late husband’s ancestors immigrated from Sweden to Minnesota. There are lots of Swedish folks up there and in Northern Illinois. Congratulations on your upcoming move.
Thank you! I’ve been to Minnesota a few times!
I saw this vlog after the visit to your new appartment and I understand now the choices that you've made! It will be great for you for sure....I would be missing your outdoor space though, but that's me, because we love to garden! Congratulations on your new place!
Thank you for the update. So excited about sharing this journey with you ☺️ looking forward to how you manage/design the closet space in the new place.
I’m excited for that too!
May you enjoy your beautiful (I believe) historical new home.
Thank you so much!
Åh vilken livskvalitet att få bo så fint. Tänk va lätt att flytta när man är en minimalist. Slippa släpa med sig allt som man inte behöver. Lycka till! 😍
Congratulations, Benita! Excited to see your new home and what accent colors you may experiment with. How wonderful that you found what you wanted and in the location you hoped for. After 40+ yrs in CA where I was born and raised, I moved from Ojai, CA to Austin, TX just a few wks ago. BIG change and crazy politics but a much needed hotbed of career opportunity and increase in quality of life that I have needed. Excited for the future, just like you. All the best always! 🌼🌼🌼
And congratulations to you on your big move!🙌🏻
Congratulations! I know those white swivel fibreglass armchairs will be making the move, they are stunning.
I’m not bringing them 😊
I’m so happy for you Benita and can’t wait to see the new place!
Thank you so much!
So exciting. I hope you find all the things you need for your new home.
I love your channel. It is inspiring me to get rid of my excess stuff! I wish you lots of luck moving! Never a fun project but so exciting when you are moved in and settled! Thank you for sharing your fun, wonderful life with everyone.
Congratulations! I wish you all wonderful things & joyful days.
Congratulations! I love the blue door.
Thank you! The blue door is cute!
Much happiness in your new 🏡 home. 😊
Thank you so much!
It looks like the perfect place for you and the kitties. Best of all...you'll be near your son and friends. So many exciting things to look forward to!
So, so exciting times ahead!
Congratulations! I could just feel your excitement. I'm kinda bummed out about the arm chairs. They're so pretty and look so comfy. But if they won't fit, there is no point in taking them. I have a balcony. All you really need is a couple of chairs and a table. Some plants and you're good to go. Enjoy. Can't wait to see how you decorate your new crib. Thanks for sharing. 💖
Thank you so much for watching again!
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you, your new place sounds lovely. Can't wait to see what's in store for you. It's stressful but exciting to start over in a new place. Thanks for sharing it with us!
I feel the most stressful part, selling and buying, is behind me. Soon the fun begins!
@@BenitaLarsson You have such wonderful taste and it's fun to try different ideas in a new space.
Congratulations on your new home - wish you all the best!
I am so happy for you Benita! I can't wait to see the new place and decorating🥰🥰🥰🥰
Brava and congratulations! How exciting! What a gift to start fresh in an area you love near family & friends. I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos as your plans progress! Whoohoo! ❤
Wohoo, indeed! Can’t wait to move in!
Grattis till din fina lägenhet, det ska bli kul och se den i senare videos. Vi bor själva i ett gammalt hus från 1899!❤️🏠
Längtar! Har bott i äldre hus tidigare och har saknat det!
