Btw the house just got featured in Vogue Korea! Here’s a link to the article. You can translate it in your web browser. The auto translation isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough. www.vogue.co.kr/2024/02/02/초록빛-에너지가-한가득-la에-자리한-숲속의-드림-하우/

[@juliaz1965]

Congratulations on your article! I also appreciated your music recommendations. I get too distracted by English song lyrics too :)

[@gloria770]

Congratulations Benjie 🎉

[@mariacastellanos988]

Loved the pictures in Vogue ,they look amazing .

[@Elea_Asteri]

Congratulations! Hope to see you in more magazines and television!

[@mochitoes8271]

isn't korea super homophobic, how did you get them to publish your home when you live with a man?

[@critiqueofthegothgf]

anytime you show the living room, I end up having to pause the video for at least a couple of minutes just to stare in awe. seriously, this is the most gorgeous living room I've ever seen; it inspires me to create just as cozy of a space when I can, in the future. new music this vlog! I love it so much

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

I do the same with the living room - really quite a perfect space with great windows and a beautiful view.

[@pixidanberty5530]

In my own opinion, it's not just your content but you Benji ❤

[@vivekm2757]

Not just his plants, his travel or his home, but him ❤

[@sincerelyceline]

Ditto❤

[@fatimazohrahowl244]

This is what I came here to say

[@corruptedteka]

exactly, he's just got that good nature and comforting vibe

[@boomsalamii]

it’s your energy, benji :))

[@christinecho779]

I love your design sensibility. I love plants but I also love relaxing cozy spaces.

[@marializaandales3448]

Me too❤

[@mypointofview1111]

Your living room is the most perfect I've seen in terms of proportion, the amount of light coming in and that bookshelf just completes it. If it wasn't there the room wouldn't be so sumptuous. Don't add anymore to that bookshelf it's perfect as it is. In fact I think the whole house is gorgeous, you're so lucky

[@sherilegacy8870]

I’m somewhat of a newer subscriber and haven’t commented before but just wanted to say I really enjoy your channel and your plant knowledge is pretty amazing. I love that you are so raw/natural and it’s not a highly edited “fancy” channel.. you’re sweet and humble. Your dogs are so cute too! 😊

[@freeman4755]

4:40 Nice find on that bamboo lamp, its beautiful

[@critiqueofthegothgf]

I still think about those Vietnam and Japan vlogs; the visuals in Vietnam alone were breathtaking, I cant imagine what it was like in person. broadening the topics you make videos on has been such a pleasure as a viewer

[@christineleeee]

The modern Bob Ross of plants & interior design 🫶🏼 love how calming these videos are and the crisp audio 🤌🏼

[@d2rry7]

We are grateful that your channel has evolved with us!

[@MrTsnead]

Your house is simply stunning. I always love watching your videos. They are so relaxing.

[@michelfreeman9559]

I see your channel not as housekeeping but more home keeping. You have a beautiful blend of everything, from plants to decorating to books and travel. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Also, from one school librarian to another, shout out to Chris! ❤

[@gosiagorecka3454]

There is nothing that special here - but the way you talk about it - the perception of beauty of the things make it all beautiful-making reality - beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder - and you share it with us and allow us to see it

[@oatmilkchailattes]

Be careful about the books in your bedroom, the sun will end up bleaching the covers 📚

[@bolesawmayzel6476]

I fully agree.

[@aathenaiz6151]

omg how did you get your picrew with colour? i only have mine black and white

[@MooMoondy]

it can DO that??? 😮

[@ifrahdb]

@@MooMoondyyes! can also happen with clothes that are hanging on a rack! it can fade the colors

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

It's OK buddy, this isn't an ikea showroom or Instagram.

[@Sarah_C68]

LOL love how Theo did NOT use the stairs in his hurry to get outside ...cute heheh

[@abdullahismailkhan8538]

You don’t have to thank us for “allowing” you to do this, because we watch what you post for YOU and not just what you’re doing! Thanks for diversifying your content because it felt right to you. Always support you and enjoy your content no matter what! 🫶

[@rhondawho3749]

You made an old lady smile. 😊 What a beautiful and cozy home you have! If I lived closer, I would want you to decorate my home. I've been toying with the ideal of moving near LA to be closer to my children. But LA still scares me a little. 😂 Anyway, thank you for sharing your home with us. ❤️ Congratulations on the magazine feature! ❤❤❤

[@noradimagiba9451]

Love that little play space in the living room. The place now looks more relaxed and homey. The house is actually evolving.

[@user-cm5md3jk7v]

The way Theo looks at you with so much love. He is so precious. 💙💙

[@tomatosoup9073]

My mom has vitiligo and it was nice to hear how you weren’t affected by it, and would only care in terms of health

[@laurapearson3370]

The vintage chair is fabulous and would look amazing with a cream coloured sheepskin over it

[@Echo_blu]

I really enjoy all the content you have provided. I started watching for your plant care but I really enjoy watching your travels and home improvements. There is nothing wrong with expanding your content. You provide beautiful ideas and concepts. Keep up the great work.

[@Conus426]

You are doing so great Benji! Always good to hear and see how it is going

[@vanillepudding]

I love all your content, I learn so much about plants from you, get inspired by your decorating and styling and just overall the comfort your videos give me.

[@lucaxwalter]

Home updates are the videos from you that, for me, are the most inspiring and exciting ones! Thank u

[@ginaleebennett6099]

❤ your content. I always anticipate your new vlogs. Thank you for sharing and welcoming us into your home and life.

[@jedwards1792]

Beautiful home and beautiful life. Thanks for sharing both with us.

[@Radical_Cat]

I really love these types of videos. I'll definitely be taking inspiration for my place. I love how you walk and talk us through everything as well

[@c_ya]

Love watching how the design and styling of areas in your home has evolved. It’s a good reminder to experiment and see what works and what doesn’t

[@gloria770]

Your home truly feels homely. I love it. It’s really your personality that has kept me watching your videos. I love how calm and relaxing the videos are.

[@eileenvidal3853]

i appreciate how thoutful and personal everything is in your home! That recliner is perfect and love the fact that its worn in.

[@maricle100]

Love your house!! So warm, fresh and practical! Also, love the way you relate to things naturally! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@cctomp11]

Love how you combine living plants in different areas of your living space. The chair/recliner featured is fantastic. The frames look great too! Continue to enjoy the "new" place.❤

[@melodyemay6402]

I love how you curate the items in your home. I enjoyed this lovely video!❤

[@hardcandy9880]

Love the place. It has a 50s midwestern feel.

[@carolstuff]

Love how you redesigned your home. Thanks for sharing Benji!

[@brittanyphipps7105]

My best friend has vitiligo and she’s struggles with it a little but I think it’s absolutely beautiful! It’s kind of like a variegated plant 🤍

[@Magstarcutie]

Absolutely love these videos and your Channel in general, it's slow paced relaxing and fun to watch

[@mariacastellanos988]

Benji, I love what you do whatever it is .Just keep being yourself and be happy🫶🏼

[@Wonderwhatyouare]

I love this mid-century warm vibes...what a great home you have.

[@gudb7812]

iv been watching your channel for a little bit now and im glad i have you give me alot of inspo on room decor and i love the plant ideas you give me thank you for being so cool

[@baash]

What a beautiful home and you are a lovely host. Thank you for welcoming us into your home.

[@surgeinc1]

Love watching your tours with Theo!❤

[@xpsxps1339]

Hi! You have a very pleasant voice and a relaxing pace in your talk; it's very calming to listen to you. The best of your living room is the natural blending of inside/outside space; I love the garden - true luxury! I am a big fan of the recycling - the recliner is stunning - in its design and even functionality: I am in Ave and will definitely visit your channel again.

[@twigs2deal]

I am so in love with you and your house and your plants and your patience

[@critiqueofthegothgf]

I want to add that it's really commendable and refreshing that you don't endorse or practice mindless consumption; 100 USD for a picture frame of that size is pretty absurd and I'm glad you mentioned that you couldn't justify the purchase so you just DIY'd it.

[@nutsbutdum]

Tips: Paint the frames of the mirror on the black wall at 9:00 with the same red color as in the painting on the opposite wall to make it pop.😉

[@agl5132]

I ❤ those living room windows and the outdoor greenery peeking through. You could hang some ivy plants on the pegboard in the kitchen and wrap the stems along the hanging lamps red cord. Theo is adorable. I have a white female Chihuahua who is 16 on Valentines Day. You're young and you will continue to evolve with your channel. Right now consider it a lifestyle channel. You are giving us a glimpse into ideas and styling that everyday people can do. Not high end designer prices or things unobtainable to us. I look forward to your next videos.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

I LOVE, your living room! It’s so welcoming💜

[@EmmiLa]

The recliner fits the mood of the living room spot on, amazing addition! Like with many things, the retro recliner look is just perfect when it's in the right space.

[@jackieclark817]

Benji! You have the coolest home decor ! Absolutely luv your aesthetic! Great video. ❤️

[@meilingchan4948]

I love your new recliner. What a great find. I love you videos. I always look forward to your videos and of course love love Theo.

[@ivangraypiece]

this feels like a minecraft world tour from 10 years ago. really hits a certain spot in my heart

[@Gre_tel]

benji, you are interior comfort at its finest..... merci

[@josephb741]

The outlet cover is so cute! Also, I like how you did the frame, I think it goes well with the monster art!

[@andyvu212]

love the lounge ekornes that you got!! great find. also the painting you got from vietnam is beautiful!!

[@user-xb4eg3ve8s]

You video is just so peaceful, I really enjoy the content, great work!

[@enzacavalier7888]

Benji don’t forget to wear sunscreen when you are outside. The vitiligo becomes more prominent if you tan.

[@tcraigy]

Loved the update, the place is looking so cozy ozy.

[@Liam-Laurence]

I really hope the green turned out well! I love green trim I have to keep watching

[@thesootaysfriend-iseeflipf8603]

Love your home, it looks tranquil and eclectic

[@sydneysalinas5525]

Benji you could make content about anything and I would appreciate it! I strive to be more like you everyday :)

[@administrator9046]

I love this ! We had one of those Ekornes Chairs when i was a kid. Ekornes is a furniture factory i Norway, not far from where i live 🤩 This is so fun ! I'd followed you for a couple of years, but last six months have been so busy. But now i enjoying all of your videos 🔆

[@LittleMew133]

This is so relaxing.

[@Shangshuhui]

[@gonblazc5492]

what I even admire above the capacity of interiorism is the extremely good taste he has, not only for getting pieces but to combine them. I admire you

[@mariabanholzer7942]

Beautiful original home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from South of France

[@sherilegacy8870]

…also I looove your apartment/house! So much character!

[@desertpotter1003]

[@stephaniebeckman6885]

Love the Was bag on the wall !

[@starflowercity]

Brilliant channel...your videos are very informative and easy to watch

[@lucka145]

I have vitiligo on my hands and knees and it mostly appears after the summer. I use sunscreen 50+ but its still a little bit bigger after summer. I like your approach! :) Love your house, plants and videos.

[@Niaulc-sx1nl]

Benji, you are a remarkable young man. I am happy that you and Chris have each other. It is no surprise that Vogue featured your home which you are putting together organically, a work always in progress. It is you. It is alive. It is beautiful. As are you.

[@gordonissocoollike]

Thanks again. Looking forward to the next one 🎉

[@makaroner1174]

Love the zelda in the background ❤ also, great colour choice. I get a lot of inspiration from your interior design for my own home.

[@cooolpotato]

That outlet cover is what inspired Ed Templeton's logo for Toy Machine skateboards. Incredible find - I am so envious!

[@Radical_Cat]

amazing place!! and very sweet dog. what a cutie

[@amandabradley6256]

Such a beautiful home❤

[@amberauckram319]

I love this video , I feel like I’m visiting a friend ❤ , so jealous of your wonderful space ,❤I love that you have colourful flower’s dotted thru the garden in the sunny spots .Love that you will have vegetables and I hope maybe that one day you might try a few small potted fruit trees like your dad here and there .❤❤❤

[@gabrieleschvabe]

Loved the updates! I think it would look really really good if you painted the shelves of the -unit that has the spiritus sancti plant- in a dark red color... it would five it a very nice pop and i think it would fit in the space so nicely

[@b4804514]

You guys will love the Stressless lounge chair. They are the best for your back. You got a great deal. They sell for over $2800. There are more than 10 models for individual fit. You guys have the most beautiful home.

[@startpage717]

My cousin has this, and her hold body changed, and she was just fine. I believe Michael J had this, too. Happy you let go of the desk
