I just want to encourage people that you can life clutter-free if you stick to it. I live in a very small home with my husband, two kids, two cats and a dog. Obviously our home is not as organized and clutter-free as Benita's is, but it is pretty bare and organized. We did a major declutter years ago, and now it's something that I make part of my monthly routine. Also, saying no to things such as excessive furniture, and all things not needed actually has also gone a long way also. =)

[@BenitaLarsson]

Oh yeah, saying no is such a good thing!

[@111-w9d7y]

Got rid of my TV ages ago. Have never missed it. Enjoy watching UTube videos, like yours and... far more. Feel I also learn more this way. Enjoyed this - Thanks Benita. Love from Zurich.

I also don’t watch TV hardly at all but I enjoy watching KZbin in my living room on a bigger screen than a laptop offers.

[@greenysgarden4581]

@@BenitaLarsson I don't have a television, haven't had one for about five years, but I love your idea, not for TV programs but for the art that can be on screen and for youtube as some videos would be more spectacular on a larger screen. No TV for now but I can see how to blend one in to the space without it being so obvious.

[@johnentwhistlesurelysamsun1840]

Agreat reply very nicely put, zurich is a lovely city and your airport kloten is one of the nicest in Europe as i have used it, as its not too large, keep the tv away as i got rid of mine never to occupie a space in my abode ever again!!

I agree! No tv for me. Laptop is good enough! Even a frame tv is yuck. My opinion.

[@milamou9352]

I absolutely love the clever way that you managed to hide the ugly box needed to watch the TV. I also find cables horrible to look at and hide them in similar ways to you. The way you hid all the cables underneath the TV shelf is superb. Cables are so unattractive so by hiding them, you make your environment more aesthetically pleasing. I have a mixer like yours which I do use a lot but it is too large for any of my cupboards and so it has to live on a window ledge of the kitchen with a custom made cover to keep it dust free when not in use. Thank you for another enjoyable video Benita.

Love it, can feel your passion when you're truly doing something you're brilliant at and creating solutions. The only video I didn't enjoy was the fridge one, as you are not a foodie, it's more of a chore having to organising all the stuff you have to live with. Totally understand how difficult it can be with IBS. I sometimes wish I could be a bit less into good food, would help a lot more with my weight loss journey😆 . When I feel hungry I come to your site to fulfill another desire, organisation and style (I'm not a minimalist, but totally resonate with your aesthetic, graduate and comfort approach to minimalisam), so I can forget about food for a while, if that makes sense.

I don’t think I’ll make a video on the exact how to since I already constructed and made it. The placemats came from Åhléns and the Fray check I got years ago from an online friend in the US who kindly sent it to me since it wasn’t available in Sweden at the time,

So good (interesting / encouraging) to hear that you’ve decided to “make do” without your KitchenAid. It is indeed a beautiful piece of equipment, and for sure, extremely useful for some. Every time there is a special offer on KitchenAids, I am tempted to get one. However, I’ve always resisted, because deep down, I feel that my handheld mixer suits my family’s needs just fine, and I don’t really have the counter space for the KitchenAid.
