You are probably the only person in the world who could make a video about moving that is actually relaxing!
Haha, it was a smooth move for me so😅
I agree!!!! I was just thinking: this is so relaxing.....was it like this when I moved?!?.....maybe when I was a student and I moved around....by hand.....meaning I was moving things commuting by bus 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
The lady who bought your old apartment is so lucky as you left it in pristine, like new condition! Looking forward to videos on your new place and wishing you many years ahead of happiness and good health in your new apartment.
Thank you so much! I look forward to sharing the new place soon!
I agree, Spoly. Benita has inspired me to do a better job where I live.
We’ve watched you move into this apartment, change it to your liking, live through lockdown and seen the seasons come and go. You’ve gently shared some of the background sitting behind your life as a minimalist and the reasons for your moving on and it’s with all this in mind that I wish you a very happy move. Cheers 🥂
Thank you so much, that is very sweet!
So sweet.
Yes! 🥂
My heart warms when I see things and spaces treated with care. There's something very satisfying about finding a new owner for your things, making sure they will be useful for somebody else if you don't need them anymore. Same thing with a flat or a house you're leaving, making sure it's clean and shiny after being well-used and well-loved so those who come after you can do the same.
I'm so happy you appreciated it! I feel the same way!
I was just thinking how I'd be thinking of the new homeowner like a little sister and that she'll care for this home during her chapter there...
Well said.
Always have admired your attention to detail and the pride you take in completing small, but impactful tasks. The new owner will appreciate the effort as many of us have moved into homes that needed deep cleaning. I am so looking forward to seeing how you put the new home together and watching you embark on another chapter of your life.
Thank you so much! We all expect our homes to be clean over here when we move in. If not they’ll have to make amends through the realtor!
How poignant to see your old apartment being so carefully dismantled, it’s been quite a journey! Wishing you every happiness in your new home and looking forward to your next reveal 💞
It really has! Thank you so much!
It is the end of an era! I am looking forward to seeing your new home, I hope that you, Mini and Bonus have many happy years in your new space. 😁😁😁😁😁
It IS the end of an era! Thank you, we are already very happy here!
I must say seeing the apartment stacked up with all the boxes and then completely empty made me tear up a bit. I remember watching one of the early videos and seeing the place when you had just first moved in! Wow how time has flown by. I'm excited to see the new space and how you make it your own. Congratulations on your move!!
Time has flown by!
Seeing your former space empty, it became very clear how much of its delightfulness was due to your exquisite eye for editing. I'm sure you will bring your particular talent for balancing beauty, comfort and simplicity to the new space. Thank you for sharing all of it with us!
Aww, thank you so much!
Benita! I am so excited for you and your new home in a place you wanted to live in. I will miss seeing your patio and the apartment in general, but I am so happy for you now that you finally moved. You are a great woman and an inspiration to me. I admire your ability to focus, organize, and make spaces workable. Thank you for sharing this process! 🌷
Thank you so much for following along!
We can all revisit the former apartment ....isn't that cool? Ah, technology! 😸
Very inspired by your approach to the move and the care you took to make: 1. the actual move easier for the crew 2. the unpacking easier for you, and 3. the place lovely for the new owner. Very mindful all the way around. Congratulations on your new home. Your videos are always a delight.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos!
Whoever bought your apartment is one lucky person or family. Not only did you improve the place but you left it so clean. Wishing you the best in your new home. Looking forward to a tour! ~Many Blessings~
Thank you so much!
Wow, it honestly feels like we are moving with you. The new owner is so fortunate to receive such a beautiful place. Plus she gets to see her new place being displayed on youtube -- great inspiration for her! I'm really looking forward to seeing the new place. Onto the next chapter!
I know she watched the video from when I moved in so she knows what it looked like back then 😅
@@BenitaLarsson Oh how wonderful -- what a hoot. This is a great story when buying a new apartment -- to have had a relationship with the place from before you owned it!
Felt a little emotional watching this - and realized just how much a home is only a home when you put your special touches on it. You made this space so welcoming - and I'm looking forward to seeing your new place come to life. Congratulations on every aspect of your move - and wishing you all the best! Can't wait for the tour and to see how Bonus and Mini like thier new home! xx
It does become a home when you add your personality to it!
Such a smooth move. Actually relaxing to watch. 😉Planning ahead a move is 90% of the work. When I moved from my shared flat after I finished my studies to my own apartment in another city, friends that helped me, said it was their most effective and well-planned move ever. They had helped people before who hadn't packed everything yet and were buzzing around the total chaos with no plan while the helpers didn't know what to do. So I can at least say that I can manage a move properly although I am not a minimalist. 😎
A pro tip is also to pack a box with the most urgent items for the first days after your move. I called it the "number 1 box" with some cups, bowls, plates, cutlery, tea towels, dish soap, some tea/coffee, ramen noodles, oats, *toilet paper* , an electric kettle, your nighty, soap, shower gel, shampoo and other toiletries in it, you need for the first few days. So that you can eat, drink and go to sleep properly without rummaging through several boxes.
The last on/ first off box makes a lot of sense if you have a bigger home! I was pretty much unpacked on day one with the help of my friend Anne and Wille. I did bring a few things the night before like a few glasses, toilet paper etc😊
Oh yes, i learned the hard way about Number one box! But once i did, i always did it. Just helps so much at a time that is usually stressful.
It was emotional seeing your apartment empty. I've become so attached to watching you in there doing your thing. Really appreciate how kind you've been to your habitat. Can't wait to see how you decorate your new place! ❤️
I’m excited to share next video with a little tour!
Your new place, from the glimpses you are showing us looks enviable. Nothing replaces historical architecture.
It's so beautiful here! I can't wait to share!
I know it might not have been all the time but it’s incredible how cool you look whilst moving, this is the result of planing ahead of time, there is no need for stress or rush, you can enjoy every step of the way, I look forward to seeing the new one 🎉
I felt stressed a few times but not because of the tasks around the actual move because I did a lot of prepping. I was so thankful for that on the actual cleaning days I had set aside!
I feel a little sad, like I'm moving myself! It's been great to watch you take such good care of this space. Can't wait to see what you do next. Lycka till!
That's so sweet, I think you'll enjoy the new place too though!
You must be so excited! I’m very happy for you. In any move, there always some bitter sweet moments of leaving one home to the other
I'm so excited to have moved. I loved the old place while I lived there but this new one is 👌🏻
I feel nostalgic and I haven't even lived there 😭I wish you all the happiness in your new home Benita, thank you very much for sharing it with us!
Thank you so much!
The 3 homes we have moved into have been filthy from top to bottom on move in day, so instead of unpacking items into cabinets right away, a deep clean of every single room had to be done including shampooing carpets and steaming tiles and hardwoods. Not to mention they were “American sized homes” with our second being 3 stories tall and over 3,000 sq ft. After that house we moved into a 1,200 sq ft house that had to be completely renovated including the flooring so you can imagine that challenge alone. Even subfloor had to be removed and replaced when we renovated our 2 bathrooms. I’m really enjoying our “tiny home” to American standards. Most people couldn’t even imagine having 4 people in such a tiny space but it suits every want and need we have. It has an incredible layout. I can’t wait for more videos of your new place ❤
Aww, Benita! i am feeling such sadness watching your old apartment and saying goodbye. As you can see, I have been trying to be minimalist (which brought me to your channel) but I get sentimentally attached, even to your apartment via RUclips! i know your move is for the better, you will be closer to your son and friends and that’s important. I will still dream of one day living in a place as nice as your last apartment! It was perfect ❤️
Aww, you’re so sweet for being attached to my old place!🥹
Sad to see you leave your old apartment but excited to see how you set up your new one. Hope Mini and Bonus settle in ok 😺😸
They were a bit apprehensive the first 24 hours but have settled in well!
I am so happy for you! I can’t wait to see the new apartment!
I'm working on the tour now and am excited to share next time!
My Goodness, Benita. I am ashamed of myself. You have opened my eyes to a new level of cleaning. Thank you.
I bet the buyer of your 'old' home was so happy to see you left everything so well cleaned and maintained. This whole video shows there are soooo many advantages to living with less 'stuff' 😆 I always smile when I see Minnie and Bonus 🥰 Hi from hot, humid subtropical Australia 🥵 xx
Was with you on your last move this one closer to friends and family feels sweet. So happy for you and you will be settled in near your loved ones by Christmas. 🥰🇨🇦
It’s so nice to be back in my old neighborhood 😊
So good Benita! A new home in a new year! And you will start there celebrating your new life! ♡
Yay, I'm very excited!
Looks like your move went smoothly, it certainly pays to have a plan. We moved in 2019 from a 21/2 story lake front home to a one story home next door to my elderly mother. I will never do another move ! We had gotten rid of a ton of stuff before the move but it wasn’t enough. Our lake house had so many stairs… just to get to the front door you had to go up 14 stairs. We had 2 large pods delivered. We filled the first one ourselves with mostly boxes, tools ,etc… The second pod was packed by the movers with our furniture… everything had to go down the 14 stairs. That’s not including the 2 sets of stairs that were inside the house! I can still see the faces of the men when they saw all the stairs… what a nightmare! At least they were young and strong! My husband and I were already 60… it about killed us! I still have nightmares… never again. Can’t wait to see your new place. I always enjoy your videos… so calming and peaceful.
That sounds like quite an ordeal!
I have a bit of a farewell pain 😢, because I really liked your apartment, especially the patio. But I'm pretty sure the new apartment will be very nice, you will furnish it very comfortable and cosy and you also will be happy there. I am very excited about the new apartment. Best wishes from Hamburg!
It’s so sweet that you have that feeling for my old apartment 😊
I will miss this fabulous space! Looking forward to the seeing the new one. 🎄✨️❄️💛😊
Congratulations on the move! 🎉 It’s always a huge task to move when you’ve lived in a home for a long time. Even though you are a minimalist, there’s still a lot of furniture and items that you have to decide to keep or lose. Happy for your new place❤
Thank you so much! Yes, even as a minimalist, when you put it all together it looks like a lot!
I've been travelling extensively last few weeks in SEA but when I noticed the title of this video ... tuned in straight away! So happy for you, all the best in your new apartment 🥰 Can't wait for future videos ❤️
Thanks so much for dropping everything to watch!🥹
Today started out as a great day. And your Benita helped make it even more special. I waited for your video all these days. I'm excited.
Aww, you're so sweet, thank you!
I love your videos! I wish you posted more I would watch everyday. As it is I binge watch your videos over and over. They are inspirational and help me feel confident in my minimalist journey. And I love the sound of your voice and music 😁♥️👍
Aww, that's so sweet, thank you for watching!
Wow the level of cleaning! When I bought a flat here in Spain it was in a right mess - all the lights ripped out, some wood panelling half hanging off the wall and it really needed a good clean!
Congratulations on your new home and it was beautiful to see how smoothly packing went because you know exactly what you have and need to be happy and content. Trying to declutter before Christmas in many areas of my home and life I find you inspiring and thoughtful. Thank you for helping me on my journey through your channel. I also find your voice very nice and your tone positive and motivational. thank you again.
Thank you so much!
Always sad to leave a home which has kept us happy and safe for a few years but also incredibly exciting to create a new home from your next move! Looking forward to the new apartment tour and seeing all the ‘Benita’ improvements 🏡 ❤x
Wish you just the best in your new home. So good of you to clean everything in details for the new owner...hope the cats will love the new place 😻
Thank you! They seem to enjoy it already!
Wow, the person moving into your apartment got so lucky! Mine was a disgusting, dirty mess when I moved in. x
Best wishes Benita. Moving is a lot of hard work. Enjoy your new home. Really looking forward to seeing the next video 🤗
So many beautiful videos made in this apartment but time for new beginnings. I wish you much happiness in your new home and can’t wait to see it! 💫🙌🏻
Thank you so much! I'm excited to share a tour soon!
Wow, such a nice moving experience. Planning and decluttering benefits for all to see.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Benita. Wouw. I have no wordes. Found your site a week ago. I am amazed at hoe meny things we have in commen. However I am 74 am in now way a minimalist? No I am deffinatly not. I moved from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom flat. Did get rif of a lot,however have too much. However have always declutterd and kept my hous orgenized and clean. Strange as it may seam I did it your way. I allways said that I was lazy and that keeping my house orgenized saved me time. Most inportent was that anyone that came to help could find every thing me included at older age. 🤣 Now I still feel like decluttering but first check with my sons like you I also am a loner but occasionaly still have friends and family that come to eat. I love cooking and nead enough plates to sereve a dinner. 😢.However find it overwhelming to keep all the dishes I nead at these times.😂😢
This video beautifully captures the anticipation of a new chapter along with the bittersweet farewell to a home and life chapter. Really lovely, Benita. Thank you for sharing!
I loved your old apartment. Can't wait to see how beautiful you make the new one, so happy for you🥰
I loved it too while I loved there but I'm very excited for my new place!
Merry Christmas, Benita. Can’t wait to see the next video of your new apartment xx
Good luck ❤
wow, moving from a house built in 2003 to 1907?!? the “new”
place must be filled with character. let’s not forget that you scrubbed the door hinges… talk about detail & being a considerate tenant. love your channel!
The new old place does have tons of period character!
It’s good to see you doing so well. Merry Christmas
Happy Birthday Benita!! wish you all the Best! 🙂
Wow! The move is done! Hooray! I am so happy for you! I can't wait to see the new place!
Much appreciation for this video!
So happy for you! I can’t wait to see your new space.
Thank you, I'm excited to share soon!
Congrats on this new chapter in your life, Benita! Glad to hear that you were able to move before Christmas and New Year, it's very symbolic to celebrate them in a new place :) I was fascinated by the detailed cleaning that you did before moving out - is it a common practice where you live or it was your personal decision to leave the old place in such a neat state? I find it very caring and respectful for those who will be moving in there, and it's a shame we don't have such a practice where I live.
Thank you! It is common practice here to leave the home you sell in very clean condition. It doesn't always happen 100% but you should be able to move in and not have to wipe things down while you unpack.
@@BenitaLarsson It's great! I hope one day this practice will take root in our country as well.
Wonderful video, hope you will be happy in your new home xxxxxxxx
So excited to see the new apartment, also have a great jul in your new home ❤
I'm so excited for Christmas here!
So excited for you. Thank you for sharing with us ❤
Thank you so much for following along!
I can't wait to see your next video of your new home, I'm so happy for you Benita and I wish you happiness in your new place ❤
Thank you so much! I'm excited to share a tour!
Looks brand new!
Oh I'm going to miss this apartment. I feel nostalgic about it. And excited to see your new old place.
You’re way more nostalgic about it than I am 😅
Exciting move!
Great video. Weirdly, as I was sitting in sea of boxes in my condo (having moved to live closer to my son), last night I was thinking that we are due for a video from you. And I thought that a video on prepping for your move would be great.... It's very considerate of you to clean your place before leaving. And, wow, the place was sparkling, completely ready for the new owners. I did the same, but I moved into what was a "bachelor pad" and was in need of repair, cleaning, and painting. 39 cardboard boxes and some plastic ones - not a lot of stuff; it's obvious that you're a true minimalist! I had 150 boxes (including 40 boxes of books - despite having already gotten rid of 50% of my books - and tons of boxes marked "storage"). We are all somewhere on the minimalist journey. 🙂 I obviously still have lots of attachments to things. I am in a much small place, so that will encourage me to let go of things. I'm really looking forward to seeing your "move in" video. I wish you all the best in your new home closer to your son!
Thank you! And congratulations on you move! Exciting times for both o fus!
It’s bittersweet watching this video, but I look forward to seeing the new place and how you transform it. You’ve so lovingly cared for your home and it shows. The new owner is lucky to have a beautiful place to call home. Sending you all the best this holiday season!
Qué bien...esperando ver tu nuevo comienzo 👏👏
Good luck on your new adventures 💕
Thank you so much!
So happy for you! I've been waiting for this vlog.
Thank you, that's so sweet of you!
Brilliant! Well done, Benita. Good luck with your new apartment. Looking forward to see how it goes.
I'm so excited for you! It will be so nice to be closer to the people you wanted to see more of!
I'm sure the movers were pleased you were a minimalist and not a maximalist!
I am excited to see the new space! The layout always looks lovely and you make everything feel so welcoming and bright. 💞
I think they were happy I didn’t have more stuff 😅
On to more adventures! Congrats on the new place Benita!
Thank you so much!
Good luck in your new apartment.
Can’t wait to see you settle in your new place! 🎉congratulations 🍾
Thank you so much!
Wow you are so considerate to have cleaned so thoroughly when you moved. No one cleans as thoroughly over here....especially the door jams and ceilings. When I moved into my house it was left so dirty by the previous owner. It took me a week just to clean out the kitchen and fridge :/.
Eeeek! Over here it’s the norm to do a proper move out clean!
Wishing you all the best on your new journey!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Awesome! I checked many times in past days if there would be a new video released! Yay, love this! And really, can't wait a next one :)
Thanks for checking in! I publish every other Tuesday so Tuesday in two weeks!🤓
How exciting! Here’s wishing you an abundance of happy times in your new home.
Thank you so much!

Ha en god jul i din nye leilighet, Benita! ✨🎄
Tack och god jul till dig också!
You are a great example of cleaning up after yourself especially when moving. Respect the space and the next owner and hope they’ll do the same. Moving is always sentimental and yet exciting. I wish there’s a course on how to fix and update everything for someone who’s single. Happy moving and can’t wait to see your next video from the new place! Happy holiday to you and your family. Xo
So sorry I forgot to wish you .. A very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year .. Also to all of your wonderful subscribers .. Safe holidays everyone .
Great organizational skills for your move, Benita! That was a good tip about the vinegar on the kitchen tap. Blessings to you in your new home! ❤️
It's so lovely to see how much love and care you've put in to making your old home, fresh and ready for its new owners. Looking forward to seeing your new apartment and starting a new chapter. Wishing you all the best 😊
Congratulations on your new home!
Thank you so much!

You're leaving your beautiful energy in the old space. What a wonderful way to pass on kindness. 💞
Oh I loved this video so much Benita! I’m very much looking forward to the new apartment tour!
Yay! Thank you! Excited to share soon!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you prepare for this exciting move and can't wait for the walk through in the new apartment. The buyer of your old apartment will be thrilled with the condition you have left it in.
I can't wait to see your new home! 🤭🥰 Good luck!! 🍀🏡
Thanks so much, can't wait to share!
You are so well organized! Enjoy your new place for many many years to come and in good health!
I did feel very organized as I moved. I had a couple of hickups after but all in all it was a great experience!
