First Days in Our New Home 🏡

[@lisa_squared]

The living room view 🥲 The space looks simultaneously spacious and cozy, I love it.

[@sydneybooth260]

I’m jealous of this house it’s amazing

[@kenfraza]

The glass window-walls on two sides is remarkable!!

[@buddhagoddess1]

That living room looks like it's out of a magazine!!! Gorgeous!

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

yess, I am jealous about those windows, they are plant perfect ! the kind of home that needs almost nothing to be great ! I love also the garden vibes, a bit wild but not too much ,,,,,

[@alexander8502]

If you two were a season you guys would definitely be spring. Benji is like gentle spring breeze and Chris is like warm and comforting sunrays. Love you two❤

[@angela86753]

I love your new home. All those windows and that yard 😍 You, Chris, and Theo will make many wonderful new memories there. And your landlord sounds like an absolute gem

[@thewitchesabode]

THE LIVING ROOM??? THE GARDEN?? THE KITCHEN? UGHHHH EVERYTHING IS GORGEOUS!!

[@soundtransgender]

Your mom did a terrific job arranging the living room; I love it.

[@weerahk]

truly! got it in one

[@grisespino5342]

Chris getting into gardening! Yes🌱 Love the lanterns; all the windows and that yard!

[@savemeaspoon6310]

The original oven and stove top are absolutely to die for!! This is so exciting to see you guys. Cheers to newest chapters and settling!

[@timothygreer188]

I would buy those from their landlady today if I had a place to store them until next spring

[@becoming_a_betty]

They are amazing! I nearly cried when he said they were taking them out 😮

[@paigejohnsonmusic]

i literally want to ball my eyes out that they are having them removed. 😭

[@LiahYoo]

Your house is so cute! All the best at your new crib ❤

[@tones7636]

I think the tree you’re talking about at 13:36 is a pomegranate tree! my dad has a tree that looks similar to it, and it’s also growing new leaves that way too. love what you guys are doing with your house!

[@Aspen.Denney]

I thought the same thing

[@danimcfadden4853]

You and Chris have such wonderful chemistry.

[@cali-flower4091]

Okeefe and Merritt original stovetops and ovens are oftentimes very sought after vintage pieces that hold their shape up really well over time!

[@matteogloria-dalto]

What a beautiful life. Love, light, green/plants, joy, growth, peace, learning, mindfulness, and presence. Love sharing in your journey.

[@negativegains]

4:23 idk why but such simplistic brick buildings in gardens are really calming to my soul

[@madelynbeierle8232]

Interesting to see little habits we all learn and stick to. I remember my grandma telling me the opening of the pillow goes inwards so no bugs can crawls into ur pillow lol. Not sure how often that’s an issue for most people 🤣 Love the new place. Can’t wait to see you guys settled in and how cozy you make the place!

[@mchl3669]

Your landlord is lucky to have you.

[@nicolejoy6618]

Not sure what part of the states you’re in but this little space you have is amazing! I love the outdoor space and the living room window walls. I feel like this might be a quiet oasis in a slightly busy community. 10/10 would live here

[@alexandraryabinina1083]

Your new home is amazing. Congratulations! Also, dancing Chris is the cutest part of the video 😊

[@farrahwho]

obsessed with all the windows throughout the house!! so much light coming in + getting to see all the greenery outside omg

[@angryrabbit6990]

i can feel the romance between u both . U both love each other so so so much AND ALWAYS BE HAPPY

[@morphinpug]

I get 1 houseplant and now I’m binging every one of your videos in order. I always love any place you live. Your magic touch helps so much I’m sure. Loving your new living room and outside area so far. And that bedroom with balcony is going to be AMAZING!

[@laurasPlants]

Your videos are always so peaceful. Thanks for letting us into your new home! It’s gorgeous!

[@DianeH2038]

O'Keefe & Merritt is an early 20th century American appliance brand; the appliances themselves are considered pretty valuable, depending on how well they function/condition. lots of people refurbish them to look brand-new. they're considered to be very well-made. the ones in your place are all custom/built-in; if they work, you might want to see about getting them refurbished, spiffing them up yourself,or your landlord might consider selling them to buy replacement items. if they work, it would be my personal choice to try to keep them, but that's me. these particular appliances look like they were made in the 1930'-50's (probably the 40's to 50's).

[@johncedarleaf224]

This was a warm blanket of a video, cozy and calming. I love the vibe in the house, and would live to come by and have a chat with you and Chris.❤️

[@anthonymciver9541]

I know that Benji is a full grown adult but it still seems strange for him to have wine 😂

[@comosedice6104]

yeah. i guess. he still kinda looks like hes 16/17

[@madisoncollins13]

This is how i feel about myself when I remember i can legally do adult stuff even though i choose not to

[@Henny.777]

@@madisoncollins13I strongly second this, I still feel like I’m doing something wrong by being in a liquor store 💀

[@swagatanath463]

​@@comosedice6104 asian genes , I'm 22 and look 17 :( 🎀

[@reeda5390]

I dunno he seems like a wine type of guy to me tbh 😂

[@duyphung6434]

Love your videos Benji!! can we all agree that you are such an inspiration ✨

[@lynnlj]

Congratulations on your new home!!! It is beautiful... and your mom knocked it out of the park with that living room set up... It's so comfortable and warm... She was definitely thinking of you, Chris, and Theo.

[@larsstougaard7097]

Wonderful, hope it grow into a great home. Love the big windows 🪟 😊

[@EternalRebirth333]

Those lanterns are beautiful, definitely inspiring me to make or purchase when I go on my travels. Purchasing decor items from foreign countries is such a wonderful way to make your space unique and cozy

[@k.s5889]

I really like the old appliances

[@galaxywalker3000]

That little dance is so cute. I hope you guys make lots of beautiful memories in the new place. Its such a beautiful and cosy house ❤

[@kaluluwaa]

Something about your voice or maybe your whole vibe is so reassuring. You seem like a very genuine person and I would just like to wish you the best that this world could offer

[@王王-l8v]

oh my GOD I've never seen a youtuber move into a house this unique and nice - I literally thought this was a vid on one of those cute architecture channel sdkfjsdkf, SO NICE

[@lamwingsum9532]

im really loving the incoporation of Vietnamese elements in your house!!! it has inspired me to bring some Hong Kong elements into mine as well

[@tucheetta6330]

omg candid chris is so cute!😂 happy for you you & the new home, you deserve it

[@musk4mars116]

Nice house! O'Keefe & Merritt was the top name in stoves in the 40's - 70's. Those are from the early 60's and were called built-ins. That looks like a pomegranate tree leafing out. Does it have thorns?

[@timothygreer188]

9:52 AAAAK! Those O'Keefe & Merritt appliances are EPIC! That's an oven with a rotisserie/grillevator combo, and angled cooktop with griddle. The same model was in my Grandfather's kitchen where I learned to cook. He was a chef with a green thumb who passed all his knowledge to me. I know they're costly to get parts for these days so I get why she's replacing them, but do try to put them to full use before she does.

[@ThousandTimesBefore]

This is the first video of yours that I've seen. Your calm and kind demeanor made me instantly subscribe. Like a breath of fresh air ♥️

[@zacharyelbert9905]

Hey, I wanted to comment, and I'm early, so I hope u see this, but you and Chris are everything. Like as a queer teen who grew up gay I never really knew what a healthy and possible queer relationship was. So thank you so much for being yourselves, and just know that you mean a lot to me and many others ❤

[@tinalemac]

Those windows in your living room are everything!! 😍😍

[@ponddaughter]

this home is so beautiful!! 😭all the natural light and light wood is so cozy. So excited to see how you do the garden space, so dreamyyy ☁☁☁

[@PlantsandPowerTools]

I'm glad the unfortunate house situation worked out in your favor. The house is beautiful. The full-size bed in the room off the kitchen would look nice, pushed up against the windows, and set up like a daybed.

[@sillyyerba]

The windows wow I hope I can live like this one day

[@na.thalie.m]

Oh my goodness I've been SO EXCITED for this video!! I know with coming back from Vietnam, moving, and producing videos for both you must be so busy right now, but we so appreciate all your hard work Benji!! ❤❤

[@MrCp3o]

You should look at the 43” Samsung Serif TV, It’s supposed to have a furniture look instead of just large black rectangle; I would offset it towards the corner of the window, angle towards the couch.

[@negativegains]

Beautiful house. The living room windows are a complete blessing. Can't imagine how cozy it must be when it's raining outside and you're sitting there with a mug and a book. I genuinely love the outdoor area, it has unlimited potential. Please make a garden tour mid summer when everything is green and vibrant and full of birds and bumblebees.

[@daratha]

That living room is just so perfect. Especially with that mood shot at the end, it screams the perfect place to unwind and read.

[@d.d.9636]

Your new place is absolutely gorgeous - especially those large windows! 💚

[@formgeben]

The vibe of your new place is so calming and the light inside is amazing. Feeling truely relaxed after watching this

[@wendyeskelin8765]

This is the first time I've seen your channel. Your new place is amazing !!! The windows and light from all of the rooms is perfect. The windows in the living room are especially amazing ! We have a little Chihuahua too. He's 17 now, so I love seeing little Theo in his jacket. Our little guy loves his sweaters and fleeces too. I thought the little rolled up napkins at the end was funny and cute. I'm definitely subscribing.

[@aiai-j7i]

LOL! I found myself nodding in agreement when you said something--that is how absorbed I got into what you were saying! Your new home is gorgeous! I am so happy for you guys.

[@dannettesavas3269]

You have a wonderful landlord I know you feel blessed it is gorgeous. We need to see more stuff sooner. We don’t care what you doing. Just let us be with you.

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

What an exciting video. I couldn’t wait to see what you guys were going to do with the house. Unbelievable what you done in such a short time. Work in progress. Lovely. Hope you have many years of love and happiness in your new abode ❤

[@1101naomi]

Your song of India!! What a statement plant for your living room! I love it Td wee so much

[@kari.ethereal]

AHHHH I'm so happy for you 😭😭 Wish you the best in this new chapter of your life 💞💞💞

[@amariluna]

I have prints and lanterns from Hoi An hanging in my living room!! I absolutely loved that town! Enjoy your new home!

[@ganonymous8175]

As always, I really enjoyed your show. Your new home has an amazing living room with all the natural light. I hope you and Chris continue to make your new place the beautiful home that you are envisioning.

[@eraserewrite]

8:22 Theo is just so cute right here! He looks like a little scrappy dog in a Studio Ghibli movie.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Hey we use our TV as speakers for music too. Before, we had a projector and two separate speakers, which were pretty good and decently loud. 90’s baby here, and I remember when flat screen TV’s came out and were small and like $2000… my husband found one that’s at least four feet across (idk the exact size) for 600€, and its speakers are SO loud and clear.

[@JL-yt5hy]

This is the kind of things I want to see coming out of LA. Peace and serenity amongst the trash. Good job🥰🥰

[@bathtubtyler1538]

Your living my dream right now this house is so fucking pretty I’m going to cry. How dare you do this to me

[@biancalopez4462]

I have been watching you since your first tiktok post, and I am so amazed and proud of your progress since then. You have such a beautiful mind that perfectly translates into your work. I can't wait to see what you do with your house!

[@debragiannetti9755]

The window wall in the living room is spectacular!!!! Love that look of the outside merging with the inside. The lanterns you brought back from Vietnam are lovely!! Such a nice colorful addition to your garden. You and Chris will make a beautiful home there.

[@phungtransimplehappiness]

Your home is cozy and beautiful . I love the plants around your house .

[@JennaLuu]

My sister lives in regional Australia where she can’t get G7 so my parents give her massive bags of it whenever they visit. That stuff is addictive! Enjoy your new space, it’s looking lovely!

[@Agreenyoyo]

거실 창문과 창밖 풍경이 정말 아름다워서 숨을 못쉬겠어요❤

[@vlong7112]

The Theo socks!! 😂🥲 Congratulations on the gorgeous space!!

[@DianeH2038]

also, that Case Study console in the living room is gorgeous.

[@remsan03]

I miss Chris so much after not seeing him for a very long while, it seems. Just when you thought he couldn't be any cuter, he loves sloths too! And his little dance... aww.

[@aliciapark6241]

Hi im new to this channel are they friends or a couple?

[@remsan03]

@@aliciapark6241 They are a happy couple. I believe they met at uni.

It's been snowing here all month of March. Thank you for sharing the sunshine 🌞

[@angryrabbit6990]

BEST OF LUCK for ur new chapter of life god bless u guys

[@chriskiefel7735]

The house looks great! And I think the view of the burned house is a gratitude reminder - it happened before you moved in not after. And things happen for reasons, so maybe the home you are making now is really where you are supposed to be. 😊 Enjoy your nesting

[@kpotato6080]

Happy April Benji ❤️🥹 I am so happy for all of you. I wish for yall to have a wonderful month ahead.

[@Mike-or2cv]

What a beautiful house! So cool. Be happy in your new place, guys.

[@gregmeissner9960]

What a fantastic, light-filled space. Reminds me a bit of the house my partner and I had in the redwoods.

[@nat9405]

i hope to have a relationship even half as beautiful and warm as you and chris :)

[@TheFlush1980]

I love it! It’s so eclectic and cozy. Especially with so much greenery around it that you can view through the windows. It’s like you live in an oasis. I wish you guys all the happiness in your new home.

[@mahala6198]

I’m so excited for you both omg it makes me wanna cry I want a life like this

[@jcwalrus]

Your guys new home space is absolutely magical.

[@SpecificSprout]

your living room honestly looks so dreamy in the sunlight, also props to chris for getting into gardening! i'm so excited to see what you do in the space:]

Aimlessly walking around in my garden while drinking coffee are life goals tbh 😊

This house is so exquisite. I feel like if I lived there I would never wish for another dwelling, I would be content just occasionally making additions to that building.

[@102HuevosFritos]

I personally wouldn’t change the appliances out they are very unique and I bet you they work very well

[@Lindow]

You have such a beautiful and soothing voice.

[@annikalund2329]

Oh wow, your living room with the big windows and their view on the garden - it’s so beautiful! I really love your new house and garden. I guess the climate in California is looking kind of ideal to me. Anyway, good luck in your new house.
