I originally started watching Benjiis videos for the plant content, but now I find I watch them for the peacefulness and happiness they bring ^-^

floor lamp 🫶🏽

[@leahreyes148]

Team desk lamp!!!!!

[@rinzeschols1092]

Team desk lamp! The Tizio from Artemide. Love this lamp... I've got the same. I think the shape looks better and more eclectic in front of the window 🤩

[@leahj139]

I'm team floor lamp and I would love to see more plant care videos.

[@cvd9134]

I like your videos so much ! it's so cozy and relax

[@iancampbell168]

Team floor lamp-loving how the house is coming together! Also LOVE the new coffee table!

[@dianemarieevans9145]

Ok, going with the floor lamp. I think it looks great. The cube and desk lamp look to office-like, not cozy. Your room has a very cozy vibe. Also love the new coffee table. Brightens it up in there. Love where you placed the dinning room table. As far as Theo rubbing on the couch, my dog does that. I think, he is either rubbing the outside scent into the space or he is rubbing off the pollens from outside. He seems to do it more in the spring, summer, and fall. Not the winter. Thanks for another nice video.

[@iheartchaos]

I like the vibe of the desk lamp but it blends in too much with the background, the floor lamp stands out there

[@gilbertrocha2847]

Always relaxes me by just watching your videos. Thank you.

[@sharonhinkle9707]

Team desk lamp. More modern youthful and complimentary to the chair and gorgeous pillows.

[@karenb136]

Love the floor lamp the best. Your place is looking so nice and cozy. Loved seeing all the Theo air time. The cat you bought is so cute. I bet your Mom loves the frog. 🐸Have a great week. 🌱💚🌱

[@neversirius]

Love your videos Benji! So peaceful and calming to watch everytime :)

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

You r making the home beautiful,👍to the lamp next to the window! 💚☘️🌵🌱💚

[@toddlersandtomatoes3198]

I like the table and lamp! My dog has allergies. I have to give him potato based food (no grains or rice) I only recently found out chicken is a big allergen too and we have avoided that since. No more itching!

[@des8616]

Team Floor Lamp, especially with the door behind it. Didn't realize there WAS a door. Also, I LOVE your setup with your aquarium and the stag horn ferns above it. I need to check your list of videos to see if you made one about HOW to mount a staghorn onto a board like that... I have a couple that I'd like to do that with.

[@heidi1727]

Benji pleaseeeeeeee give us some moss care videos! How to keep, display, fertilize, deal with pests, etc

[@wishingonthemoon1]

I Second this!

[@catherinecole1159]

[@boozeey]

your house is so architecturally beautiful, its my dream to find a place like that one day

[@LordanJauzon]

Team floor lamp. The box interrupts viewing the beautiful scenery outside

[@LisaMarieKaspar]

pausing the video to say: YES YES YES to longer plant care day videos :))

[@klaaskingma7435]

I’m team cube. The floor lamp isn’t tall enough imo😊

[@Zeroshoofly]

WOW you can have a career as an interior designer. Love your space!!!

[@Oscar-vi2pv]

Floor lamp all the way!

[@dinsun1111]

I think I like the lamp better. Because it makes the surrounding more warm and homey comfy. The rod lamp is like 🤖 ! And i am like 👍

[@sinaglen3494]

Your home is just sooo beautiful and peaceful ❤

[@latoyanichols6151]

team floor lamp....love the openness

[@wrustria]

[@alexiswaver9041]

Desk Lamp 🙂

[@JJ-ec9lp]

Desk lamp, it’s a great shape

[@soflvsromance]

team desk lamp !!!!

[@andreaturner3827]

Team desk lamp with the cube! I like the touch of industrial the desk lamp brings to the room. I also just wanted to say how much I love your home decor / styling videos! Your style is so warm and cozy and your videos are super inspirational to me! Thanks for sharing your home with us 🙂🌸

[@Dnn411]

Desk lamp, it’s more architectural. you both are living the best life.❤️

[@kodi-annebrown914]

desk lamp! it adds nice angles/shapes to the space!

[@gingercaudill4513]

I am so happy for you guys!! You are really doing an amazing 😻 job settling into your new home together!! I am wondering if you can do a plant DIY project video with your mounting staghorn ferns and explore maybe some of your DIY plant styling ideas! Like the little dish on your new coffee table with the two little plant stems is so cute but makes such a statement! Thanks

[@stella2065]

I'm team desk lamp

[@masonvp1407]

Team desk lamp

[@dontdrinktapwater6194]

Team desk lamp! I think the wooden desk makes it more interesting and is a great cut from both the sofa, like you can see a clear separation

[@michelfreeman9559]

You are like the Mr. Rogers of plant care.😊

[@boy_topics]

Omg Benji I watched Jenny's walking video and was also inspired. I'm on day 5 of long walks daily. P.S. Desk lamp! It fills that empty space better and is more interesting looking.

[@nickgrimmer7274]

Guys, your living room looks absolutely beautiful and Theo must love the new place.❤🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🙏

[@Hugosilva759]

Your videos are so calming

[@louisanow]

Theo is super cute, love to see him in your peaceful videos. You're doing a great job making your home beautiful, and the, or a, floor lamp is definitely less cluttered and more elegant for that space.

[@luxlatte4950]

Hmmmm I think the black desk lamp looks better, team desk lamp!

[@ryopearl]

i watch his vids since last year and i have one thing to say , him and his vids are literally my safe place i love everything about it

[@cekatie8203]

Team desk lamp ✊ I think it looks way more interesting. Except I usually prefer floor lamps….I think ideally a larger curved floor lamp would look lovely (one that would curve over the top of the living area).

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Floor❣️❣️ btw..I love your plants and style. Many blessings ❤

[@morganpearson8545]

I think I prefer the desk lamp because of the height. If you had a taller floor lamp that would be perfect. You already have a side table on the other wide of the leather chair, I think you need a light with more height! ❤ love the living space

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Sending hugs, your home looks incredible. So cozy and warm! Lovely just like you!

[@leoismyrealname]

I love to see your house growing and becoming such a lovely and cozy place

[@gailalbers1430]

first i thought I like the desk lamp but I changed my mind to the floor lamp ; the deciding factor was that i did not like the cube- it does not seem to really fit into the beautiful midcentury decor snd also it looks more open and spacious without it. The new coffee table is fabulous and looks like a percival . I want to say that i love love love your terrariums and aquariums, the kokedama too and anything with moss. I have loved moss since i was a child. Now we live in the desert climate of New mexico and so I fear that i cannot keep moss alive in this hyper-dry climate. A terrarium/aquarium seems like a solution . I would love to see more videos about how to create those. I personally love your style-although I love the wild grasses in the one you want to be more „minimalistic“. If you taught a class on domestica or skillshare,I would definitely get it. Including how to get moss ethically and revive the spaghnum how to set the terrarium up and keep it moist etc. Thank you!

[@phantomwifi]

I'm Team Floor Lamp! I do see how the other lamp might be more useful, but from a style perspective, the floor lamp looks warm and cozy and helps the soften the edges of a modern-looking style.

[@passionme8915]

So glad when saw notification for u channel

[@mabelsto.domingo1824]

Gorgeous coffee table

[@tophergraham6935]

Your home is beautiful ❤

[@Mark-tr9ey]

Desk lamp so it doesn’t block that killer view. Hot pot! Haven’t thought of that since being in Vietnam.

[@glosspetal8976]

team desk lamp! that lamp is so beautiful and unique it always takes my focus when i see the living room :)

[@lemon_ghoul_]

team desk lamp :) its so visually interesting i love it

[@elmerhernandez5810]

I really enjoyed the multiple day video :D

[@janemothra]

I have that same ceramic frog!! I got it like 10yrs ago at goodwill and it’s one of my favorite knick-knacks !

[@SH-pe8gg]

Desk lamp, better design and for the floor I think you need one that is taller.

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Hi Benji, great update, as always! Thanks for sharing. Love to see plant care videos please! Happy growing 😊

[@djjaewon]

Team floor lamp. The cube makes that corner too cramped and it gives me anxiety lol.

[@LuckyGirl1333]

Team table and desk lamp. It adds a nice bit of interest to the space and the light sits higher which is more functional.

[@Sivanandhine]

Team floor lamp

[@lilmissbeats]

I'm all for longer form or plant care videos! Also, I'm definitely team floor lamp!

[@perennialgypsy6491]

Floor lamp, it opens the room and add flow💗enjoy allll your content! Love your vibes🪷

[@ethangaskill]

I'm so obsessed with your home + everything omg.

[@hqlola]

Floor lamp ofc

[@jkardi9803]

your home is coming together so nicely! You mentioned that Theo has allergies...with it being pollen season, I wonder if he is itchy after walks and/or trying to get pollen off his fur.

[@古川甫]

you are soo cute

[@michelleemert4923]

Team desk lamp!!!

[@isoutoforbit]

I just wanna say what a breath of fresh air you and Chris are for a fellow gay like myself. You're building a life with only things that matter, that feels rare and inspiring :) Anyway it's the desk lamp for me!

[@khool_girl]

YAY NEW VIDEO

[@Englishroserebecca]

Both lamps look good. Please turn the seam on the lampshade to the back so you aren’t looking at it when lit. 😂😂😂sorry just little details

[@oyuntsetsegenkhbat3274]

longer videos would be great 😊 ❤

[@TaraG-v6y]

the divider make it sand it and make it black

[@cindyvan635]

Castor&Pollax has a Organic dog food, wet or dry, wet is best for them. Your place looks so comfy and beautiful 💖 yes floor lamp! Coziness...new coffee table fits perfect with your vibe.

[@civilizeddiva]

6:45-7:03: I like the warmth of the floor lamp; but the desk lamp is minimal and blends into the room. What type of vibe are you going for? 8:42-8:52: I add about 1/4 cup of unsalted Trader Joe's chicken broth to my cat's new food. Helps her take in more liquids. 17:38: maybe T needs some sort of sofa pad to lay, rub, "just be" on? Perhaps something with texture.

[@benjiplant]

17:38 I sound kind of stern with him here but this is just how I play talk with him haha. I don’t mind when he rubs/scratches on the couches tbh. He doesn’t do any damage since he’s so little lol

[@civilizeddiva]

@@benjiplant You’re always loving with your fur-friend. He is fortunate to have a loving 🏡 home.

[@victorwilliams1934]

Bravo perfecto ,love it.

[@faithfrenes382]

[@Bopsterjazz]

[@Anastasia23777]

Team floor lamp!

[@contentenough]

Team floor lamp it makes the space more open

[@Loogiemistress]

Just found the Turtle Chips in Choco Churros flavour So Good :)

[@mariac.p.2418]

Imo, the lamp is not tall enough so I would stick to the cube+lamp, tho I think the cube table is the issue maybe for the colour.

[@Mimi-ov1]

Team floor lamp, btw I would love see videos of plant care 💚 thank you Benji for this channel.

[@KamandaHickey]

I like both lamps but prefer the floor lamp that matches way better with the mood. Your house is so beautiful, the light is just amazing in there.

[@hunterhuie1550]

just a tip: have a HVAC team come out and clean your air vents and make sure your filters are replaced! (it causes allergies and sickness, even in your dog)

[@adrianaiello1608]

I'm sorry to ask this here- maybe someone in the comments knows, where is your living room rug from? your place looks great!

[@erikamargis4518]

Team floor lamp definitely. It has a way better balance to the space

[@jtruss317]

Floor lamp!! The height/ verticality looks so good against that large window

[@AMCvanTuijl735]

Floor lamp!

[@isaiahricketts]

team floor lamp!!

[@filipevintena164]

Team desk lamp ❤

[@oliviahoward7703]

Team floor lamp by far. It feels cozier and I think it works better by not being as big or adding more furniture.

[@moonrise987]

i cant believe this is in LA. i love that you have your own sanctuary amidst all the hustle and bustle of such a big city ❤ this is a dream!

[@clarissazhang4313]

[@milanbrenner3266]

If Theo has a food allergy you could try an Elimination diet for him. If so you can feed him one protein source he never ate before (e.g. horse, deer, kangaroo) and one carbohydrate source (e.g. sweet potato, Quinoa, millet). He gets that for 6-8 weeks (until the symptoms are gone). During that period he won't receive any treats that contain other ingridients. Than you can add a new food each week and see if he has an allergic reaction. There are pure meat cans with 100% muscle meat, that makes it easier (the meat should have a fat content of at least 12-15% percent. You can weigh and portion the meat together with the carbohydrate source and freeze it. I'm sure there are some Facebook groups to help you with information.
